    Our Higher Self, Our Lower Self, and the Instincts That Drive Us

    I recently reflected on an idea from Osho that challenged me to think differently about human behavior. The idea suggests that human beings spend much of their lives operating from instinct, while true consciousness is surprisingly rare and difficult to sustain.

    Whether or not you agree with the percentages, the larger point is worth considering: awareness requires effort, while instinct is automatic.

    When people commit cruel, manipulative, or violent acts, we often reach for spiritual labels. We call them evil, demonic, or possessed. But what if we looked at those behaviors through another lens?

    What if we asked, “What instinct is driving this person?”

    Animals aren’t evil. They survive according to their nature. They protect territory, compete, flee danger, and react to threats. Human beings have those same survival instincts, but we also possess the capacity to observe ourselves, question our reactions, and choose differently.

    That is where consciousness begins.

    When I hear someone talk about a spirit animal, I wonder if we’re only looking at the qualities we admire. Maybe our instinctive nature also has a shadow side. Under stress, fear, jealousy, humiliation, or anger, what instinct takes over? Do we become defensive? Aggressive? Controlling? Withdrawn? Predatory? Protective?

    These questions aren’t meant to shame us. They’re meant to help us understand ourselves.

    I like thinking about it as the difference between our higher self and our lower self—our God self and our dog self.

    Our higher self creates, reflects, loves, and chooses intentionally.

    Our lower self reacts, protects, survives, and follows instinct without awareness.

    The goal isn’t to destroy our instincts. Instinct keeps us alive. The goal is to become conscious enough that instinct no longer controls every decision we make.

    The more awareness we cultivate, the more freedom we gain.

    Perhaps the real spiritual journey isn’t about proving we’re good. It’s about recognizing when we’ve slipped into unconscious survival patterns and gently returning to awareness, compassion, and choice.

    Maybe that’s what growth really is—not becoming someone else, but remembering the part of ourselves that can choose instead of simply react.

  • ✨VIRTUE SIGNALING And GRANDSTANDING

    Grandstanding, Virtue Signaling, and the Search for Borrowed Energy

    One of the themes I’ve been exploring is the difference between borrowed energy and creative energy.

    Creative energy comes from within. It builds, creates, heals, solves problems, and remains connected to who you are whether anyone notices or not.

    Borrowed energy depends on something outside of you. It often relies on attention, comparison, validation, conflict, or the emotional reactions of others.

    This is where grandstanding and virtue signaling can enter the picture.

    To be clear, speaking about your values isn’t virtue signaling, and helping people publicly isn’t automatically grandstanding. Many people advocate for important causes, share acts of kindness to inspire others, or use their platform to create meaningful change.

    The difference is found in the motivation.

    Grandstanding happens when the performance becomes more important than the purpose. Instead of quietly contributing to a solution, the focus shifts toward being recognized as the person who contributed.

    Virtue signaling occurs when displaying morality becomes more important than consistently living by those values. The appearance of integrity begins to outweigh the practice of integrity.

    Both behaviors can become forms of borrowed energy because they rely on external validation to reinforce identity.

    This also connects to narrative control.

    Sometimes maintaining the image of being the “good person” requires someone else to become the “bad person.” Instead of pursuing understanding or accountability, the story becomes carefully managed to preserve a public identity.

    When that happens, another person’s pain, mistakes, or struggles can unintentionally become the backdrop for someone else’s reputation.

    Creative energy doesn’t work this way.

    Creative energy asks:

    * What can I build?
    * What can I contribute?
    * How can I make this situation better?
    * How can I embody the values I claim to hold?

    It doesn’t require applause to remain authentic.

    It doesn’t need comparison to establish worth.

    It doesn’t depend on someone else’s downfall to feel significant.

    As we continue exploring borrowed energy, you’ll probably notice that many behaviors share the same root. Whether it’s comparison, triangulation, narrative control, grandstanding, or virtue signaling, the common thread is searching outside ourselves for significance.

    Creative energy invites us in a different direction.

    Instead of performing who we are, we become who we are.

    And from that place, our actions naturally speak louder than our image ever could.

  • ✨GENUINE GOOD PEOPLE, PERFORMATIVE GOOD PEOPLE, PEOPLE WHO ARE “GOOD” AT OTHERS EXPENSE/ DEMISE ✨

    Many people confuse being perceived as good with actually being good. While the two can look similar on the surface, they come from very different motivations.

    Performing as a good person is often driven by the need for approval, acceptance, or maintaining an image. A person’s actions may appear generous or kind, but the underlying motivation is to protect how they are seen by others. When their image is threatened, defensiveness, blame, or manipulation often follows because preserving the appearance of goodness becomes more important than pursuing truth.

    True goodness, on the other hand, flows from integrity. It doesn’t depend on recognition or validation. A genuinely good person is willing to take responsibility for mistakes, seek reconciliation, and do what is right even when no one is watching. Their character remains consistent because it is rooted in conviction rather than performance.

    There are also people who appear good because someone else is carrying the cost. In unhealthy family systems, workplaces, or relationships, one person may be blamed, silenced, or sacrificed so another can maintain the role of the “good” person. This creates an illusion of goodness that depends on another person’s suffering. Genuine goodness never requires another person to lose their voice, dignity, or worth so someone else can protect their reputation.

    Real goodness is revealed not by appearances, but by humility, accountability, compassion, and the willingness to tell the truth with love. It builds others up rather than using them to maintain an image.

  • ✨BORROWED ENERGY And CREATIVE ENERGY ✨

    Borrowed energy keeps you reacting. Creative energy allows you to create. When your identity depends on approval, validation, fear, or someone else’s expectations, you’re living from borrowed energy. Healing isn’t about becoming someone new—it’s about returning to yourself so your thoughts, choices, and creativity come from within instead of from survival.

    Creative energy and borrowed energy come from two very different places.

    Borrowed energy is survival energy. It develops when we learn to depend on other people’s approval, emotions, expectations, or validation to feel safe, valuable, or secure. Instead of creating from our own identity, we spend our energy reacting, proving ourselves, people-pleasing, or trying to maintain acceptance. While borrowed energy can help us survive difficult environments, it often disconnects us from our authentic voice and leaves us emotionally exhausted.

    Creative energy is self-generated energy. It flows from a regulated nervous system, a grounded sense of identity, and an internal foundation rather than external circumstances. When you are connected to yourself, your creativity is no longer driven by fear or the need to perform. Your ideas, decisions, relationships, and work become expressions of who you are instead of attempts to earn your worth.

    Healing is the transition from borrowed energy to creative energy. As we regulate our bodies, establish healthy boundaries, and deepen our relationship with God, we stop living from survival and begin creating from purpose. Rather than borrowing life from the people around us, we become rooted in the life that God has already placed within us. From that place, creativity, peace, wisdom, and authentic connection begin to flow naturally.

    Creative Energy vs. Borrowed Energy

    One of the biggest shifts we can make is learning to recognize where our energy comes from.

    Creative energy is self-generated. It comes from curiosity, purpose, love, integrity, and a regulated nervous system. It creates ideas, solutions, beauty, connection, and growth without needing to diminish anyone else.

    Borrowed energy, on the other hand, often comes from an unhealed wound. Instead of creating something new, it relies on someone else’s attention, success, emotions, or identity to feel powerful or significant.

    That wounded energy can express itself in several ways:

    – Borrowed energy seeks validation or identity through someone else.
    – Redirected energy shifts attention away from another person’s strengths or accomplishments to avoid discomfort or insecurity.
    – Extractive energy feeds on another person’s emotional, mental, or spiritual resources without giving back.
    – Contrast energy creates significance by making comparisons, criticism, or positioning oneself against someone else.

    These are all different expressions of the same underlying pattern: looking outside ourselves for the energy we’re meant to cultivate within.

    The invitation isn’t to shame ourselves or others. It’s to become aware. Every moment gives us a choice: continue borrowing energy, or begin creating it.

    Creative energy is slower to build, but it lasts. Borrowed energy may feel powerful for a moment, but it eventually leaves us empty.

    The more we create from within, the less we need to take from anyone else.

  • ✨WOUNDED FAMILY SYSTEMS Wounded Masculine and Feminine Energy ✨

    The Wounded Family System

    A wounded family system is a family dynamic where unresolved pain, fear, and unhealthy coping patterns are passed from one generation to the next. Roles such as the caretaker, scapegoat, golden child, or peacemaker often develop as survival strategies instead of allowing each person to express their authentic self. Healing begins by recognizing these patterns, developing self-awareness, creating healthy boundaries, and choosing responses that bring peace instead of repeating cycles of dysfunction.

    The Wounded Masculine & Wounded Feminine

    The wounded masculine and wounded feminine are patterns of imbalance that can exist in anyone, regardless of gender. The wounded masculine may express itself through control, emotional suppression, anger, or overachievement, while the wounded feminine may appear as people-pleasing, self-abandonment, fear of rejection, or difficulty receiving. Healing comes through balancing both energies—developing healthy structure and accountability alongside compassion, intuition, emotional safety, and self-worth. When these qualities work together, we are able to live, love, and lead from a place of wholeness rather than survival.

    Healing is not just about leaving a person. Sometimes healing means recognizing the system that created the behavior, understanding the pattern, and choosing not to carry it forward.

  • NEPTUNE RETROGRADE

    Neptune Retrograde in Aries (4°)

    Neptune retrograde at 4° Aries invites you to reconnect with your inner fire when it feels just out of reach. This degree represents willpower, courage, and new beginnings, yet during this retrograde it can feel as though your magic wand has been placed just beyond your grasp. The warrior may question their strength, and the magician may feel disconnected from their spark. Rather than signaling a loss of power, this transit asks you to discover that your power has simply changed form.

    Mentally, Neptune retrograde can diminish motivation, confidence, and drive, creating feelings of isolation, exclusion, or temporary defeat. Spiritually, this transit emphasizes temperance, mindful communication, and honoring the energy behind your words. It reminds you to avoid overpromising, overgiving, or carrying responsibilities that were never yours to hold.

    On a physical level, this energy may be experienced through the circulatory system, the ankles, or as creative blocks that make writing, speaking, or creating feel more difficult than usual.

    At its core, this retrograde teaches the Law of Transmutation—the ability to transform frustration, exhaustion, and uncertainty into wisdom, resilience, and renewed purpose. You may be called to confront areas where you have overextended yourself, accepted unfair circumstances, or continued fighting without replenishing your own energy. Even when you feel disconnected from your magic, this transit reminds you that true strength is developed by facing the battle before you with honesty and patience.

    Challenges during this period may include spiritual gluttony, giving beyond your capacity, or feeling pressured to provide more information, communication, or emotional energy than you can sustainably offer. Relationships with communities, audiences, or the collective may also feel interrupted, leaving you temporarily disconnected from your creative flow or sense of belonging.

    Your blind spot during this retrograde is Virgo energy. Watch for excessive criticism, self-scrutiny, overthinking, perfectionism, or the tendency to overcorrect every detail. These patterns can quietly pull you further away from your intuition. Instead, allow discernment to replace perfection and trust that your magic returns through presence, balance, and conscious action—not force.

  • Sun 2° Cancer

    Sun at 2° Cancer: The Law of Relativity

    With the Sun at 2° Cancer, there is an emphasis on expansion, intelligence, and the fruition of what has been cultivated through mental and spiritual care. This energy highlights the importance of community, prayer, and inner nourishment, while also drawing attention to the body and its ability to process and filter life through the endocrine system, kidneys, and liver.

    At its core, this placement teaches the law of relativity—showing you how your relationships, environment, and inner state affect your connection to God, your peace, and your ability to manifest. It brings awareness to the limitations and restrictions that need to be confronted, especially where pride, emotional instability, or restlessness interfere with discernment and spiritual alignment.

    Pay close attention to your blind spots. Family dynamics, close relationships, your own emotional reactions, and interactions with women or maternal themes can reveal where you are being pulled out of balance. These areas may either support your growth or expose unresolved patterns that disrupt your clarity.

    Alignment comes through healthy release. You are guided toward people, places, and experiences that illuminate the nurturing energy available to you—the mother you have, the mother you needed, or the ability to cultivate that nurturing within yourself. Through the quality of your relationships, you learn more about yourself and your connection to others.

    However, without proper boundaries, you may find yourself entering unstable situations. Overidentifying with the pain of others, becoming consumed by victim narratives, or taking responsibility for what is not yours can weaken your foundation and interrupt your spiritual connection. The lesson is not to abandon compassion, but to practice discernment. Healthy limitations preserve your peace, protect your prayers, and allow you to remain rooted in the comfort and security that support your purpose.

    Ultimately, this energy asks you to become mindful of what you allow to influence your heart and mind, recognizing that how you relate determines what you receive and what you are able to sustain.
