Jesus spent 40 days in the Desert I only spent 21 but here’s what began to happen

I was in the woods, on 5 acres bordering several National forests, Northern Wisconsin was the place.

It was an old, dusty, spider and spider web filled mini-camper, just enough for one person to sleep in with a small cook stove and sleeping bag. No phone, computer, radio, TV, just a handful of books and quest to reach deep down within myself, to find myself, God, Nature ….whatever may be. I was dropped off and left there, not to see another soul for another 3 weeks.

By day 2, the ego/mind was going crazy lacking the constant stimulation from smart phones, TV’s, roommates, work/co-workers, society, etc. Yet I was aware of the “going crazy.” I tempered this w/ meditation near the camp fire.

The first couple of nights, there was fear in the pitch black night due to the visiting critters, the fact that the camper was used by bats as a shelter as well, and with the unknowing of what can be outside of the camper. I tempered the fear with prayer, observation, meditation.

Around day 5, I was settled with stillness, nature, silence, with myself, the mind settling down w/ lack of stimulation, and fear was no more. All I could do is just Be, Flow w/ what is. I fasted during the days, and ate a handful of grains, nuts, or a small fruit at night.

Somewhere around day 8-9, things began to make sense. Society seemed artificial. We’ve gone so far from Flow/Being and live in fear, ego, and addiction to stimulation. I was deep within myself, fine with myself. I was in a sense Home, deprogramming from societal ways.

Day 12-14, the tree’s began to glow. I hugged the tree’s and acknowledged the Life of nature. Squirrels, wild turkey’s, deer began to come near and check out what this odd human was doing there. As the days past, they would get closer and closer, having less fear of me.

Day 16, I found the core me. I was fine no matter what. Can face anything, feared nothing, and understood existence as Being, as Flow, as interconnected to me. Even the books I brought with did not matter to what reality taught me there in nature. The fasting tempered the lusts of the body for sexual release. The idea of sex, porn, lust w/ beautiful sexual women lost meaning and I saw through it, discovering many connections between the body and mind.

Day 18. There are Universes revolving above my head. I’ve had this before, but it really sank in now. The majority of stuff is irrelevant in the big picture. I have closure and detachment in my life and if it’s time to physically die, today is a good day for that. I’m open to whatever Flow & Being has in store for a tiny grain of sand like me. Fear is let go of, and the grand scheme of things runs the show.

Day 21. In Love with this type of existence. I’ve reached a part of myself and existence that I never knew was there, but always had a hunch about. Considering monasteries now or permanently living like this. However it’s time to say goodbye and get back to society, considering I still have some familial and financial obligations to take care of.

A friend picks me up and we go to a pizza joint to eat. Everything seems artificial, commercialized, and corporate/government ran. Still I see the Flow/Being within society, but it’s covered up, manipulated by ego/mind to fit it’s own molds and concepts of how things should be. In retrospect, everything now looks slow, lacking, dirty, superficial. The truth is there, but most don’t see the sublime. Rushing and wrapped in roles, the present moment is entirely missed, instead people have replaced this with; “what might one day be if only I can ____(fill in the blank)!”

This was a set of diary posts from my 21 day solo retreat in the woods. I can only imagine the further changes that would occur if I was to go the full 40 like Jesus did.

All that to say, that there is something to, letting go of the bias bubbles we’ve all created by being wrapped up in the necessities of catering to society and our own ego’s. By tempering that, with going into solitude, into the wild for a set amount of time, that bias bubble pops, and for that set amount of time, you find certain things about yourself, nature, Love, life, existence, that you would not otherwise find, things that remain with you for the rest of your life, things that the majority of people may not be aware of, but are most definitely there.

Food for thought perhaps, or the ramblings of a madman.

This New Anti Anxiety Cannabis Milk is Coming to a Store Near You Soon

There is now a completely legal way to enjoy the benefits of CBD in a refreshing drink. Relax by Rawligion is made from 100% organic hemp milk that contains CBD oil.

It claims to help soothe anxiety, relieves pain, stress, and also helps as a sleep aid.

As well as CBD oil, Relax contains hemp seeds, cashews, dates, coconut oil, vanilla, and water.

The product is the brain child of Michael Isted, a psychotherapist and development consultant for Rawligion, who decided the world needed a drink that contains all the benefits of CBD.

CBD doesn't have any psychoactive properties, so it won't get you high, but it will supply you with all the goodness of it's source - hemp.

You don't need to get high from CBD oil to feel the benefits of it's properties. CBD oil reacts with the body’s endogenous cannabinoid system, which controls the body’s homeostasis, which has a positive effect on your mood, sleep, pain, immune response, and hormone regulation.

CBD is gaining a reputation not just as a cannabis extract, but as a new, innovative medicine. On November 1st, CBD will turn into a recognized medicine when a new legislation is passed.

Does is work?

Made with vanilla, coconut oil, and of CBD oil, Relax taste like almond milk with a cannabis aftertaste, but will it relax you like it says it will?

Rawligion’s founder John Taba says that it does. He says they have had reports from customers feeling calm and tranquil.

Taba has also commented on the carefulness you should adopt to get the full benefits of the drink:

"It’s subtle, but so far all who have consumed the drink mindfully have felt the desired effect. I don’t mean to use the word mindfully in a hipster way, just more a case of someone actually paying attention to how they feel before hand, during drinking and afterwards instead of having it as a drink to wash down a meal with!"

New addition to King Bender

Added to a couple of my favorite tattoos on my good friend Eben. We started his chest piece and got a good start. The eagle, BC shield and arrows took 3 + 1/4 hrs to get a good start to a nice front. We will be adding to the chest to fill it out more, and that should be it.
