Bravo. My own "version" in my last 'Stack- "My Faith had to become single-pointed, pure. My Service had to become single-pointed, pure. It could no longer be based upon a transaction - a reciprocity. It had to become Selfless. Self-actualization by forgetting myself in Service to others."
I feel seen and felt in this. Thank you for naming and sharing. I feel like I've been in this rite of passage for a while, and now the Shakti is calling me forward and out into the world. Deeply resonate and timely. Very touched to receive your wisdom, Xavier. 🙏🏽🧡
Thank you. Ever since I was a kid in art class I always told myself that I’m not creative. That I’m gonna have to find someone else and work for them. Have someone “save” me. I’m 36 now and I just figured out that this is trauma. Whether unconscious from never meeting my dad or from my mother searching for love instead of being there emotionally for me. Either way, I can relate. I am going to create my own reality. My own success and happiness. Your words hit home. Thank you sir 🙏
I was just planning on writing something similar with a twist. Instead of being met with silence being met with criticism from other spiritual creators. One says I’m too spiritual, the other says I’m too mental. You’ve got to forge your own path and allow it to be bumpy at first. If you can use the criticism for growth - great! If you can’t right now, that’s fine too. Block it out for now. Your posts have helped me immensely with showing up for myself.🙏🏼
I left a secure job to devote myself to my path. It has been a deepening and refining that I’ve been on since January. Wrestling with feeling unsupported in small ways by friends to seeing it as the initiation I’m on. I’ve been pounding the keyboard til wee hours as The Muse continues to move through. And now I don’t need the praise or validation because I feel held by an unrelenting force working through me with greater conviction than I’ve ever felt. Your message is timely. Thank you. 🙏🏽
Could not have been more spot on with what I needed to hear/read today. Endeavoring to become more visible even if I’m not truly seen. I posted my very first Substack piece today and after the high of hitting ‘publish’ all the cascading and swirling feelings that can come afterward while seeing very little response. I need to remember your words. That I’m doing this in devotion to myself and my own healing journey. I can only hope it touches other along the way.
What was it like after you made your first Substack post? What do you remember feeling? How has that shifted over time as you have more subscribers and engagement? Any advice you have for someone at the very beginning would be so welcome. 🙏

Love this so much. Ironically in reading it I feel ‘seen’😂 as a creator
So gorgeous !being a mystic poet / writer is allowing ourselves to be the dance letting life fully dance us wildly
A manifesto for so many blossoming creatives here. Thank you!
