This is a live recording of an equinox meditation we did in nature (outdoors, in Griffith Park) in 2018.
“It is a weakening and discoloring idea that rustic people knew God personally once upon a time but that it is too late for us. There never was a more holy age than ours, and never a less. There is no whit less enlightenment under the tree by your street than there was under the Buddha’s bo tree.”
- Annie Dillard
“I could not be a poet without the natural world. Someone else could. But not me. For me the door to the woods is the door to the temple.”
—Mary Oliver

The algorithm doesn’t tell you what’s true, it tells you what you find more engaging.

In film production, “back to one” means returning to the starting position for another take. Same scene, same setup, but this time you get to choose: same performance, or try something completely different?
Life operates on this exact principle, except most people don’t realize they’re in a movie.
Pattern recognition at the level of soul curriculum. The ability to see when the universe is offering you the same test in a different costume.
The secret is recognizing that these cycles aren’t punishments. They’re upgrades disguised as chaos. Every time life calls “back to one,” you get to choose a new character to play. Same soul, different costume. Same lesson, different backdrop.
Right now, the energy is so thick you could cut it with a butter knife. People are feeling the end of cycles everywhere. Old patterns dying. New frequencies coming online. The tower card energy that makes everyone nervous but makes my nervous system feel like it’s a psychic with a wait-list.
Your weirdness isn’t a bug. It’s a feature. The same brain wiring that makes you impossible to pin down, impossible to categorize, impossible to keep in one lane is exactly what makes you a natural cycle-breaker. You were built for this kind of navigation.
Today is a day we are going back to one. The summer is gone, and the real work begins. The question isn’t whether you’ll survive the reshuffling. The question is who you’ll choose to become when the director calls action on the next scene.
The cosmic casting call is open. Your move.

My first Photoshop dream.
I dreamed I was erasing my past in Photoshop, but it turned out that I was using the ‘clone tool’ - so instead of erasing I was just copying chunks of the past into the future.
- Brian Eno (1995)
