Why I Coach

       The short answer is, nothing makes me happier than to help people.  I’ve always been this way, and I've been a coach long before I did it professionally.  Along the journey of freeing myself from the bonds of suffering, I realized that helping others do the same work that I was doing for myself would be the most significant and direct way I could be of service to the world.  Once I realized this, there was no other path for me to take.  I have chosen to follow the path of righteousness so relentlessly that I have indeed found success in my aims.  Through the result of my own inner purification, I can now say that I have found what everyone desires - exuberant energy, clear perception, ultimate confidence, and constant bliss.  I still perceive what you would describe as discomfort, through sparse negative thought, emotion, and physical pain, but there is an ever-growing space between these sensations and myself.  The space is made of unconditional love, attained through the wisdom of non-attachment that is discovered with genuine self-inquiry. This love is so vast and all encompassing, the perception of discomfort is like a drop of water in an endless ocean. 

       Luckily, the path of inner purification never ends, it always goes deeper!  There is no experience outside of self-discovery and growth; this is a fundamental aspect of our existence.  I continue to entertain myself by expanding boundlessly, always attempting to bring greater consciousness into each dimension of my life. This process of Self-Actualization is the activity of assessing and systematically refining every aspect of life, pursuing the goal of existing in loving and balanced relationship to all things. This process of making all of our unconscious behavioral patterns conscious is known as alchemy. We bring the unconscious, unbalanced relationships into the light of loving awareness, taking responsibility for every aspect of our lives. To be reactive to life is to be a slave to unconsciousness, and to be responsive to life is to experience the true freedom of consciousness. Responsibility IS freedom...  I wish everyone in the world could feel just 1% of the bliss that I feel in this moment, because it truly feels infinite in capacity. I love life so deeply that I am determined to use every ounce of myself to share this love with the world until I’ve got nothing left.

My Mission

       My mission is to know myself and to love myself, in order to become the creator, expressing authentically from the state of love.  My mission is to be of most efficient service toward ending the suffering of all conscious beings. All of the energy I acquire, whether that be in the form of physical health, financial wealth, or expanded consciousness, will be devoted to this mission.  I have identified what I believe to be the most pertinent aspects of our society to address in order to most efficiently bring an end to suffering as we know it.  These three most pertinent needs of our society are reversing environmental degradation, restructuring the education system, and reducing wealth inequality.  On a societal scale, the solution begins and ends with inner-purification.  But on an individual level, for those of us who have done the necessary inner work, we are now tasked with spearheading these efforts, as well as restructuring other important aspects of society.  So in working toward my ultimate goal, part of my plan is to co-lead EcoVision Alliance, an environmental restoration non-profit organization.  If you stick with me, you’ll be hearing a lot more about that.  Our modern society is largely divorced from nature, and reshaping it into an ecologically-integrated society would yield an incredible resurgence of the natural psychic energy necessary to evolve and alchemize the soul into the mystical paradigms of awakening.  Regularly being in and around natural ecosystems leads to meditation on their beauty, and in due time this allows for the effortless unfolding of the ego.  One does not need to know that it's working this way for it to work, and the subconscious change that would result from an ecologically-integrated society would undoubtedly facilitate the expansion of the collective awareness with an unmatched rate of efficiency.  In addition to this, I have created the Self-Actualization Academy, a developing educational curriculum designed specifically to systematize the process of psychological evolution. I also intend on continuing to refine additional decentralized education protocols for the rest of my life.  I don’t think this requires much explanation, but we can only be as evolved as our education system.  If we collectively continue to teach faulty paradigms as we have been doing, we will continue producing faulty results.  It doesn’t take Sherlock Holmes to see that almost everything about our society is being done completely ass-backwards.  Luckily the market-incentivized decentralized education movement is picking up a lot of steam right now!  

       Lastly comes the goal of reducing structural wealth inequality.  This is a really big goal; on an individual level, it mostly comes down to spreading awareness and education as to how it can be done, so I will explain the thesis here.  I will first state the obvious, that reducing wealth inequality and lifting people out of poverty is very conducive to their spiritual growth, as they will no longer have to spend the majority of their conscious energy satisfying the most basic human needs.  Wealth inequality has been a defining characteristic of civilizations throughout history, but the modern financial system has accelerated this divide to unprecedented levels. While many blame capitalism or market forces, the true culprit lies in the structure of our monetary system itself.  Wealth inequality is a complex issue, but one solution stands out as a way to dramatically reverse its trajectory.  And no, it’s not communism, quite the contrary.  Creating a truly free market will be what allows equal opportunity to financial abundance for the first time in history, as has always been the birthright of all.  It is a known principle of economics that in a free market, the cost of goods falls to the marginal cost of production.  It is commonly believed that western countries like America do function in a free market, yet the cost of goods generally does not fall over time, it rises.  In 2019 America, the average gallon of milk cost $2.58, and in 2023 the same gallon cost $4.34.  This is not because milk became 60% more valuable or scarce in 5 years.  This is because of intentional currency debasement, otherwise known as inflation, otherwise known as currency manipulation, otherwise known as theft.  Throughout history, currency manipulation has been the norm. People have grown so accustomed to it that they fail to see just how deeply it has stunted societal evolution.  Innovation and technology are fundamentally deflationary, meaning that as technology advances, we can do more with less.  Innovation has completely transformed efficiency.  The same 4,000 pounds of metal that once produced a steam engine can now be used to build a Mercedes-Benz.  Instead of spending hours performing financial calculations by hand or searching in encyclopedias for information, we now have AI that gives almost any information while performing complex calculations instantaneously.  With technological advancements allowing us to do more with less, you would expect that all prices, the price of food at the very least, would fall over time rather than rise.  The problem is that the innovation-driven, fundamental force of technological deflation is directly opposed by the debt-based fiat currency system that depends on continuous inflation to sustain itself.  

       The reason governments continue to let inflation run is because they must inflate away the debt that they take on.  This also benefits businesses and any organization that uses debt to fuel its growth.  This debt must be inflated away, because more debt is actually taken out than can be repaid, due to a practice called fractional reserve bank lending.  Fractional reserve bank lending is a practice where banks keep only a small portion of the money you deposit (like 10%) in their vaults and lend out the rest. For example, if you put in $100, the bank might keep $10 and lend out $90.  Because usually not everyone goes to withdraw all their money from the banks at once, this works, until it doesn’t.  This system increases wealth inequality because those with the most wealth own the most assets, like property and businesses, which retain their value as the currency they are priced in loses its value.  While this happens, the majority of the population, whose net worth mostly exists in their homes and savings accounts, hope that the value of their home rises enough to offset the devaluation of their savings. To make matters worse, inflation is like double theft, because not only does the life savings of the individual decrease over time by default, but they are also robbed of the innovation-caused, technological deflation they are supposed to be seeing the benefit of along with the wealthy.  

       Fractional Reserve Bank Lending with a fiat currency system necessitates inflation to reduce the real value of debts, and while this benefits asset owners and banks, it decreases savings and wages, making it so that those who control assets have an easier time accumulating more, and those who work for wages have a harder time accumulating assets, as wage growth historically does not match inflation levels.  This financial system creates a form of wage-slavery, where systemically built-in currency devaluation continuously increases wealth inequality. Those who own assets see disproportionate gains, while workers struggle to keep up.  This is what happens in the best case-scenario for users of global reserve currencies.  In the worst cases of countries that use their own fiat systems, their currency values are disproportionately affected by the decisions of the nations who manage global reserve currencies, and in addition are frequently subject to corrupt mismanagement within their own systems.  This is also why many countries have experienced times of hyperinflation or very high inflation as a result of fraudulent excess money printing by their own federal governments.  Some of these countries include Brazil, Egypt, Argentina, Yugoslavia, Peru, Ukraine, Nigeria, Mexico, Vietnam, Turkey, Israel, and more.  These “boom and bust” cycles are an instilled characteristic in a debt-based fiat currency system.  Also known as the “debt cycle”, it is composed of 4 parts: the first stage of sound money, characterized by low outstanding debt levels where debt growth spurs economic productivity; the debt bubble stage, where the investment debt grows so large that incomes cannot continue to support paying interest on it (also known as a debt spiral); the top stage where the bubble bursts and economic contraction ensues; and the final deleveraging stage, where debt and investment are reduced during prolonged economic contraction back to levels that incomes can support, returning back to stage one to begin the cycle again.  These economic downturns always benefit the wealthy.  When the economic depression hits, only the richest individuals can afford to buy the assets that have temporarily lost value.  This dramatically increases wealth inequality with the conclusion of each cycle.  For example, since the year 2000 the U.S. has seen the .com bubble crash, the housing market crash of 2008, and the stock market crash of 2020.  From 2000 to the present day, the total percentage of wealth in the U.S. owned by the top 1% is estimated to have increased from 30% - 40%.  To be clear, this means that 10% of all of the wealth of the entire United States has been transferred into the hands of the top 1% of wealthy individuals since 2000.  It’s estimated that the last 5% increase occurred since 2020 alone, due to the 5 trillion dollars the U.S. government printed in order to prop up the economy during the lockdowns.  The point of saying this is not to demonize the wealthy, they are just making smart decisions in a broken monetary system.

       With the advent of cryptography and proof-of-work technologies, decentralized currency is born.  The crypto ecosystem functions in layers, with the layer 1 base token making the foundation of the system as a neutral reserve asset with transparent transactions.  Bitcoin is layer one.  For more variability in use, it can be instantly converted to other crypto tokens at the time of need, such as the popular privacy coins that keep transaction data hidden.  Because these tokens are coded in a way that the supply of them cannot increase beyond a certain point, they are inflation-proof.  This means that as the fundamental force of technological deflation continues to occur, the price of all goods will continue to fall relative to the base layer currency.  When a deflationary environment allows a nation’s broad consumer base to increase the real value of its wealth, economic productivity grows faster, without the need of taking on excessive debt.  It grows more sustainably as well, leading to increased total efficiency in the long term.  This decentralized monetary system rewards saving money to be used wisely, rather than the frivolous spending that is encouraged by a constantly devaluing currency, as well as being a means to systemically reduce wealth inequality through the action of the free market alone.  It also incentivizes true value investing, rather than the highly speculative investing characteristic of economic debt-spiral environments, which is arguably more efficient at creating immediate quality of life improvements for the average person.  This system also solves the issue of inflated housing markets, lowering the barrier for individuals to become homeowners.  Homes in America are treated as stores of value in addition to their utility value, yet the theory behind this action is fundamentally flawed.  Homeowners expect their property value to rise, yet houses naturally lose utility over time as they deteriorate and require increasing maintenance until inevitable demolition.  In a decentralized currency system, housing prices fall to their utility value while the currency we use every day becomes the real store of value it should have been the whole time, the store of value that we unconsciously try to work against the forces of nature for our homes to be.  We have never before seen a monetary system with the true equality of opportunity that can be provided through decentralized cryptography and proof-of-work technology.  For all of history, government leaders, the wealthy, and bankers have colluded to extract the energy of the working class with the use of fraudulent law systems, unethical contracts, and currency manipulation.  Currency freedom is an overlooked but all-important freedom, as collectively we have never experienced it, yet it is undoubtedly the most significant problem that has ever faced societal structure.  Now, a righteous path to the end of this abuse is being made clear.  It is up to us to make it happen.  Luckily, this result is inevitable; it’s already “baked in the cake” as they say.  This is obvious when you see the image below, showing the average price of an American home over time in both USD and BTC.  An abundant future awaits us, so let’s do our part and spread the word.  If you want more information on this topic straight from the experts, check out this video on Broken Money by Lyn Alden (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jk_HWmmwiAs), and the book Price of Tomorrow by Jeff Booth.  Thank you for taking the time to read my mission.  We are all in this together.
