Reality is a social construct. Who is the storyteller? To change your life, you must change your mind. To change your mind, you must dare to question and discover...

The powerful hold of ideology is that the illusion seems real, until the ugly truth is blatantly revealed. Gullibility is prayed upon. The tactics I'm witnessing unfolding before my very eyes today are age old mind control and manipulation tactics that I've witnessed before...

What matters to me now, increasingly more than ever, is my fully connected Presence. To know, in the moment, to say yes or to say no. To know, in the moment, to stay or to leave. To know, in the moment, exactly where Stela is. Without attachment to story, without attachment to past, without attachment to future, without attachment to outcome. Just me, bare, raw, Present. Here. Now. 

What would happen if we became willing to let go of external notions of what reality is for just one moment and ask ourselves some bigger questions about who and what we are?

Because we try to silence the experience of the body and impose culturally conditioned responses and logic to it, we don't heal. We make incremental changes to our perception, and we sustain our self-deprecating, false, limiting beliefs. After all, they kept us safe until now. And they don't work.
