Fifteen years ago, after the devastating loss of a friend to suicide, I found myself engulfed in a storm of pain, anger, and confusion. The questions were relentless: Why must we suffer? Why does the human experience seem riddled with endless challenges, pain, and suffering? On Mother's Day 15 years ago, compelled by something I couldn't explain, I left the ranch and embarked on a six-hour drive to Yosemite Valley. The pull was intense, and I knew I needed to confront whatever was tearing me apart. The three-hour hike up to the top of Yosemite Falls was brutal. Every step was a battle, both physically and emotionally. Halfway up the trail, I broke down on a rock, overwhelmed by memories. Twenty years earlier on this exact same day, I had hiked this exact path with my first wife, who has since passed away. We carried a bottle of champagne to celebrate. She chose not to drink that day, which was unusual. That evening at the Ahwahnee Hotel, she handed me baby booties—a silent announcement that she was pregnant. Sitting there on that rock years later, the weight of those memories crashed over me like the very waterfall beside me. The joy of that past moment stood in stark contrast to the pain and rage I felt now. I was wrestling with God, challenging Him: Why are you constantly breaking our hearts? As I finally reached the summit and sat next to the falls looking out over the valley, I was absorbed in the dichotomy of my searing pain and the profound wonder at the beauty before me. The raw, unfiltered power of nature was both humbling and awe-inspiring. In that moment of utter vulnerability, I heard a small, steady voice within me say: "I've never broken your heart. I will, however, always shatter the walls you've built around it in a feeble attempt to hide from me." That soft but powerful message unlocked something inside me—a key to love, truth, and what I now call The Energy Code. As I gazed out, I saw the dance of Earth, Water, Fire, and Wind, all drawn together by the magic of God—the Void, the Source—depending on the language you prefer. This was the inception of my journey to cracking the Energy Code.

Thank you, God 🙏, hello world 🌎 let’s Goooooo 💯👊🔥🚀 can I get an amen?🙏 #gratitude #coffee #lfg

I learned something profound in church yesterday. The Greek root of the word repent is literally to change your heart, change your mind. That really is the entire point of training if we want something to be different in our lives it’s always an inside out job here are some notes I found incredibly interesting. I hope you do as well and as always, go make some magic happen today!👊💯🔥 As we journey into the age of artificial intelligence, finding grounding in the truth, becomes more and more important. Your pastor’s statement is accurate: the Greek word for “repent” is “metanoia” (μετάνοια), which indeed carries the meaning of “a change of mind” or “a transformation of one’s heart and mind”. The term comes from two Greek roots: “meta”, meaning “after” or “beyond,” and “noia” from “nous,” meaning “mind.” So, the concept of repentance in the Bible is much more about rethinking, reconsidering, and turning away from previous ways of thinking than simply feeling sorrow for sin. Key Points: 1. Metanoia refers to a change in one’s inner self—a transformation in thoughts, priorities, and understanding, which leads to new actions. 2. While sorrow for sin might accompany this change, metanoia focuses more on the shift in mindset than on performing acts of penance or merely feeling regret. 3. In Christian theology, repentance involves turning one’s life toward God, often described as an “about-face” or reorientation of one’s heart and mind toward God’s will. This broader understanding of repentance as a mental and spiritual transformation reflects the dynamic process of aligning one’s life with God’s purposes, beyond just feeling remorse for wrongdoing.
