Hi friends!

So I reached out to a few of you to gain insight on the areas where we might need some illumination right now. 

I asked so that I could be better at writing articles that are relevant, relatable and practical. I want to help fill a gap with what’s most needed. That’s important to me and I have a passion to do it! 

We are all navigating our way through creation and learning how it all works and making wrong turns and continuing on anyway. We are here to live and I propose that we take suffering out of the equation for good so that we can really live well.

I’m going to include practical hints in my writing that may help clear up any misunderstandings on how to use some of the powerful tools we have to leave suffering behind. There will be 👉🏼 pointers along the way that point at Absolute reality and will require you to use your gnost to understand rather then your mind.

I invite you to read the words using ALL of your capabilities so that they can open new passageways within yourself. The articles are not mind fodder, they are meant to point you towards truth, towards your own inner knowing.

These writings are my responses to some deep, honest and vulnerable questions that I received from some new energy creators that I know. 

I will put out articles like these going forward so if you are interested in receiving them in your inbox you can subscribe to my newsletter.

I hope these shares, that come from personal experience, speak to you in some way. Thank you.


Flipping the Script on Addiction

Physical and psychological addictions are a really great opportunity to learn how creational intelligence works.   

Addictions make things big. They make gravity seem unbearable, the emotional body is heightened, victim consciousness is amplified, they make the nervous system react in all kinds of ways, they are a super exaggerated identity dynamic. Its helpful when things are big like that because they help us see how parts of us are still playing the game of going outside to fill ourselves up.

👉🏼 Addictions are not real, they are mental and emotional constructs. If we can move away from the parts that think addiction is real and into the bigger part that knows better we can navigate away from the strong fixed identity that positions itself in the belief that it is addicted. 

  • Now, when something is 👉🏼 pointed at as not real, it’s not an invitation to go into your mind and think, it’s an invitation to immediately drop into self inquiry. Why? Because pointers are pointing at the Absolute reality not relative reality so they require a different communication system.

    👉🏼 Self inquiry does not involve the mind. It’s a tool to open and sense deeper truth. Deeper truth lives beyond the mind. So inquiry bypasses the mental and emotional bodies and goes straight to creational intelligence. 

    It feels like a question the body is asking not the head. And if given words the question may sound like, “Is that true?” But in practice there is no question it’s like the body just opens, leans in and is poised in sensation. I could sit there forever it’s such an exquisite feeling. 

    If your inquiry does not take you deeper but instead keeps you in the mind it’s a hint that you need to back up and feel, not think. The body will show you whats more true, you just have to learn to understand the language of sensation.

So we want to end these addiction cycles, not at their root but before the root even began forming. I don’t mean looking back at our childhoods for root causes I mean we need to step into the Absolute and let whatever is not THAT burn off. 

Absolute reality does not contain fear, guilt, shame. It does not contain fixed positions. It is free from the confines of time and space. It is BEFORE those overlays came into being. 

Close your eyes and sense the truth in that.

We need to stop going outside for comfort and happiness and discover that we already contain everything we need. We have to discover this truth for ourselves for it to be a real felt lived experience. And when it is found to be true the reaching out ceases because there is no need for it. Simple as that.

If you’re in a fixed identity loop you have to get out of it. But the way out is by sensing the part of you that is already out. 

Take a pause and internally step back into a more expanded state. Stay there. It doesn’t matter what is going on in the physical. You are not in a prison and you never were. 

The nervous system will protest this truth because it only knows duality. We must show our nervous system a new way. As we do this our consciousness is taking control of the automated responses of our nervous system. We observe AND we feel the sensations in the body without labeling them in the mind. 

We are embodying more of our light from the neck down every time we do this. 

We are creating passageways out of suffering every time we do this.

The end of suffering is a very real sustained state. Where we aren't looking for something to change in order to be happy, where we aren't reaching ‘out there’ for anything to fulfill us because we live with the felt sense of sovereignty.

Happiness becomes your baseline of existence regardless of outside circumstances.

When you are in the middle of the addiction don’t check out, just stay aware. Pay attention to the mental body, the emotional body. When you stay aware you are navigating from creational intelligence.

Become conscious of everything that is being played out without mental analyses. We are just noticing.

We are using the situation to become aware of the difference between energy and consciousness. We use everything in our lives to become more aware.

Nothing is a hinderance to consciousness, nothing.

We dove into these things to find our way out of them. We are not victims, we are conscious explorers of creation and so we need to start gaining some understanding through deconstructing whats already been created within ourselves. And we need to back away from identifying with the part who thinks it’s a victim. That is NOT you. Gain the larger perspective when you feel small so that you can properly be with whatever is showing up.

There is an old adage that says, “The best defense is a good offense.”

I would hear this when I played sports and you hear it in war strategizing. It also makes sense for preparing your body of consciousness for anything. 

If we are working with life by remaining aware and inquisitive about our creations we are developing a system that is so in tune with itself that there is nothing left to defend because all the barriers have been dissolved. All parts of you are on the same team. 

In the world of conscious awareness going on the offensive just means becoming actively interested in life. Observe it, question it, notice things. Have fun with it! How much fun are you having? If you’re not having a whole lot of it you made a wrong turn. No big deal just backup and go somewhere else. Keep things moving. 

When we get good at doing this, we can move easily in and out of any scenario, situation, experience because you are in command of your mind and body. We don't have to remain in the fixed position of the identity who thinks addiction is real. 

When we let these games dissolve for good we can focus on consciousness expanding actions rather than the old stuff that keeps us circling. Let’s break free of that so that we can create and live from a clear state. Let’s contribute to this world from the place where your true passion lives. 

We don't have that much time here so take that leap and tap into the abundance of potentials that are here and available and visible to you when let go enough to sense them.

Developing the New Nervous System

May 29, 2025 by Keiko Niwa

Developing the new nervous system is an extreme sport. There have been moments when I’ve questioned whether or not my body could withstand it. It’s also the greatest thing one can do to be here in full autonomy and in a state of perpetual newness. It changes your tangible experience here like nothing else can.

I just got back from a 2 week long adventure to England and Germany with many of you reading this. We saw Gaia off at the Glastonbury Tor and then we created a fluid container to explore ourselves as the prisms of light. It was intensive at the human level and there were so many potentially sticky situations involved in traveling alone overseas with 3 bags that were literally my weight in camera equipment.

I was also there to work doing something I’d never done before (videography) and had to coordinate all the many details that go into that. 

Throughout it all I had the capacity to be fully present with everyone and was functioning at a high level without getting fully energy depleted.

The way I was able to do all of this was through this new nervous system that I’ve cultivated for years. 

It’s literally a self generating new energy motion in my body of consciousness.

A flow that puts creation and destruction on autopilot so that I’m not adding karma to this world already laden with so much mental and emotional pollution and that allows me to remain in the vertical as I act in this world. 

In potentially high stress situations where the mind wants to dwell in “problems”, energy can easily be depleted but I’m actually generating it as I act because when your in your new nervous system you are taking steps through old creations instead of listening to an identity negotiating how to make itself feel better at all times. 

It’s the sensation of living at that zero point.

When you start tapping into a reservoir that isn’t finite and you keep that aperture open, you self generate energy as you’re acting because the act comes from a universal consciousness.

 Life is not running through a consciousness identified with the small mind and emotions. It all goes to the spine directly so there is no or very little delay .

The energy doesn’t stay circling in holding patterns.

Instead it has access to its source at all times. 

Energy and consciousness can work together as one.

In this state you aren’t leaving residue on this planet, you are always cleaning up your own mess in real time and in essence taking all of creation with you. 

So how does this all work at the practical level?

When we look at everything within and begin to understand what’s what the voice of the identity starts to get really small. 

At first its loud and we think that’s who we are. You know, the one who wants this or doesn't want that. That voice with strong opinions and likes and dislikes. When we distance ourselves from that voice it starts to become a tinny far away part of you. You hear it but it’s not in charge anymore. 

That’s when a flip occurs. The true You is now running the show as the boss.

All of this gets clear as we get the hang of commanding the energy. As we do what we know is more true to ourselves we override the small voice that just wants to hide or run or control or whatever.

This is how we begin to really tap into our creational intelligence. We look at whats going on in the mental and emotional bodies so much that we know what is temporary and what is always there. 

We can then access the instantaneous wisdom without the delay that creates karmic sludge. 

We no longer need to experience and then die and bring that lifetime to wisdom later, that’s the old way. Now it all goes directly to awareness itself as the act is occurring simultaneously.

There is no need for a motivation to act, you simple act because you’re in your joy. 

Only an identity needs a motivation to act.

So all of this is so active. We can’t cultivate any of this passively. We have to go beyond that identity with ferocity at times. 

I was showing Nancy in Germany my katana samurai move to cut down that small voice that tries to intervene. Sometimes it takes that level of NO. Especially with persistent parts that are really sticky. We have to actively create new grooves, new neural networks to get this new nervous system functioning.

Every time we create these new grooves or passageways through slaying our inner demons, seeing our sticky bullshit for what it is,  recognizing our persistent stories, noticing the old beliefs, etc., we are cultivating our new nervous system. 

It’s that simple.

These seemingly small acts within ourselves create a very tangible new experience expression.

An existence that does not pollute this planet through mental and emotional indulgence.

We can walk light here in this way. 

We can generate our own energy without having to feed and take from outside. We can be here fully involved with all of life, feeling all of the flow without letting it linger to long in fixed ways. We can be here more present than ever.

It just takes some getting used to. 

We have to get used to the tension of stepping through old mental loops. We get so used to the intensity that it just becomes a low grade persistent hum in our hearts. 

It becomes our greatest friend and ally, keeping us at that precipice of creation and destruction at all times.

This is truly when things get fun. This is when we feel the freedom to choose whatever we want to choose.

We just have to get out of the self-imposed prisons first then it all gets clear.

We have to realize that the one wielding the mind is not a fixed identity but a much grander intelligence who is your true Self. An unfathomable mystery that is very felt as you give space and observe the mind for what it is. It’s in that very pause, in that in-between, where we get the sensation of a grander truth behind it all and it all unfolds naturally from there.

Cultivating the new nervous system has made the potential I was made aware of back in 2021 a reality. I got a glimpse of what life feels like free from fixed identity creations. It was a couple weeks of complete bliss.

This article is a peek into how I got there.
