The Sage Surfer - Musings From the Lineup

My surfing coach showed me how to do proper pop-ups on a surfboard lying on couch cushions about three and a half years ago. He filmed me and then compared the film to videos of pro surfers popping up on their boards. It was easy to see what changes I needed to make. It ends up that when an athlete repeats a specific athletic movement correctly 10,000 times, they will master the movement and be able to perform it at will without giving any thought to it. Ten thousand pop-ups seemed like such a monumental task, especially at the beginning when I sucked at it. But I did the math and figured that if I just did ten every morning, I would accomplish the goal in about three years. This past week, the waves have been solid, and I’ve been surfing well. Yesterday, I noticed my pop-ups have become smooth and seamless. I’ve completed ten thousand pop-ups. I can’t tell you how many times I didn’t feel like doing my exercises along the way.

When we remain in devotion to Will during Divine Rage, the string on the Bow of Sagittarius begins to draw. The more intense the struggle, the more tension on the bow. And then the most remarkable thing happens at what always seems to be the last second. When I am sure that I am at my wit’s end…that a particular moment will be my last-ditch effort to see something through to the end…when I am sure that I am about to give up… I go for it one last time…the Archer can no longer bend the bow any further… And the Arrow of Sagittarius is released.

Each episode of Musings from the Line-up is different. However, all roads lead back to the same basic concepts.

Adeptly navigating life is simple…not easy. And ignorance is not your friend. Culture is not your friend.

KILL YOUR CULTURE.

Let the dead bury the dead. Two will lie down in a bed…only one will RISE.

CREATE! BUILD! SOLVE! RESOLVE! UPLIFT! Let’s GET ON WITH IT!

What is a True Muse? The Muse infuses me with passion, drive, and creativity. The Muse makes me want to be the best man I can be. Initially, I found the Muse in the ocean, in the waterfalls, in the forest, on top of mountains, and in the desert. But when I found her within myself, I opened myself up to a whole new universe.

Perspective is everything. Not that long ago, many of you remember how mangled my face was after that wipeout at Impossibles.

I spent 3 hours in surgery that day. But instead of being upset about the situation, I focused on the beauty of that surgeon’s delicate little fingers as she stitched over 50 stitches into my head. I focused on the beauty of my friend, Sean, who helped me from the ocean to the car and drove me to the hospital. I focused on the beauty of this Island and how it has everything I could desire for my family and me to thrive. And wouldn’t you know it? I was back in the water in a week, and now you can’t even tell I was injured. Seeking beauty and reveling in gratitude is better than a shit-ass attitude every day of the week.

I used to think that love was something I felt in my heart. I’ve discovered that love is something I DO. Love, especially Agape Love, is an act of WILL that includes unconditional acceptance, devotion, and faithfulness. It is an ACTION, not an EXPERIENCE. 

Integrity Love Will Heresy

Somewhere between 12-15 years ago, I realized that government is a system of slavery, that disengaging from the system was essential to finding my way in this life.  Hundreds of frenemies accused me of being a traitor, and while I didn’t disagree with them, it took me a while to get up and leave the Death Star ( the crazy multiverse version where the Storm Troopers believe they are Luke Skywalker).

The transition from the Matrix to Actuality is intense.  If you can see that something is wrong in your universe but lack clarity on what you can DO about it…reach out, and I will make sure you are notified as my new courses launch. Love is the Law…Love under Will.

Knowing and understanding the difference between TRUE WILL and your low-life desires is jack-shit unless you ACT…only what you DO and SAY actually matter.  Pull yourself together and out of the hat. One version of you is up to the task at hand. Get with it. Let’s GET WITH IT TOGETHER! XOXO

Everyone and their dog paddle out to surf in easy conditions. The low cost of entry attracts the masses. The masses are asses. If I want to get lots of practice at surfing, I will find much more open ground when the conditions are shitty, dangerous, or flat.

Practicing in poor, dangerous, or flat conditions is the key to up-leveling my performance in perfect conditions (big enough to keep the “other” kooks at bay - meaning I’m a kook to some surfers). The rewards of The Great Work show up during the good times.

It is practiced ALL the time…with emphasis during poor, dangerous, or flat conditions. The Dark Night of the Soul brings pain and misery. Overcoming pain and misery leads to an expanse of beauty. I’m here for you, my fair-weathered friends…especially in stormy weather. XOXO

Riptides and currents are like raging rivers in the ocean. Sometimes they are so strong that it is impossible to paddle directly against them and make way. Often they can drag the ignorant surfer into serious harm’s way. Ignorance is not your friend in these situations. By simply realizing the strength and direction of the rip, the savvy navigator can paddle at an angle that releases themselves from the grip of doom. The surfer can make their way to the desired destination from that point.

What applies to one thing applies to many. Having a relationship with actuality (what is actually happening) and interacting with truth as the greatest version of ourselves (a fantastic attitude and maximum effort) is the tried and true formula for success in every area of life. Fuck your fantasies…Kill your CULTure. Blessings, my friends!

Our attention and awareness are our most precious currency. The primordial nature of Mind seeks to penetrate through CREATIVE FORCE. Yet, how often do we apply creative force to infertile soil? 

Echoing from deep within the recesses of the soul, quiet instruction haunts the airways. Yet, when anxiously engaged in the superficial, we are deaf to the call or unwittingly ignore the information that would reveal the unique nature of individual character. Can you dive deep into the terrifying depths of Self and retrieve the treasure of authentic nature? And will you return and bless us all with the gift you have fought bravely to dis-cover? Do it!

For nearly 50 years, I dreamed of being a surfer and didn’t take the necessary steps to realize my dream. Over the past three years, incredible surfers invited me to Fiji, the Mentawais, Samoa, G-Land, and many other iconic locations.

The fact that somehow this surf community has welcomed me with open arms is as rewarding as it gets for this surfing fool. And I can promise you, the audience, I am not embraced for my skill level.

Unfortunately, courage is not possible without fear. Never let my perceived lack of fear convince you that I haven’t been filled with terror my whole life. The audience sees me drop into double overhead waves, calmy and cool as a cucumber. Very few see the hours spent falling like a kook on waves twice that size.

How often do we dream of a world where our problems have disappeared, rather than dreaming of ways to develop the strength to welcome and overcome problems precisely as they arrive in actuality?

It may sound like I’m beating a dead horse as I continue to do these podcasts and write these descriptions. The message is quite simple, yet I am called to say it in as many different ways as possible…for if it touches just one extra soul…I honor my life purpose.

When our goals are NOUNS (people, places, or things), we are DEAD…lifeless…living in a PROGRAM. For most of my life, I imagined that if I had the perfect wife, or the perfect income, or lived in the ideal place, had the perfect house, car, clothes, friends…THEN I would be somebody SIGNIFICANT…THEN I would be HAPPY. It’s happy, alright…a bunch of happy horseshit.

There is another way. I can explore all the various WAYS OF BEING that I can BECOME. I get to pick and choose which ones are in alignment with the greatest version of myself and which ones are out of alignment…and embody the version that makes my heart sing.

Next, I can get to work having a relationship with what is happening in front of my face…right here, right now. Who is having that relationship? The ONE that I am becoming. And life turns into a verb. Moving faster than the speed of light…timeless…eternal…moving at the speed of NOW. When the moment and the man I choose to become are in ACCORD…the results are mind-blowing…earth-shattering…everything seems like a miracle.

This is the last week to sign up for AMBROSIA - where you will spend the next four weeks exploring who you can become. Sign up at www.ambrosiapaths.com.

Surfing is so much more than surfing.

As I examine why surfing is such a therapeutic activity…I realize that surfing (especially waves of consequence) inspires the surfer to be committed to the moment, or nasty things happen. Nearly everything we think is real is complete fantasy…a fixation on frames of reference taken out of context…apart from reality as it ACTUALLY unfolds.

This moment…what is happening right NOW and the WAY you are BEING right NOW is real.

All programming rips the intended target (you) from the moment. Separation is the lynchpin that creates slavery…turning YOU from a creator into a commodity. And as an enslaved person, you will SUFFER. I am currently teaching a course in navigating this dilemma.

Everyone and their dog (literally) are out in the line-up when the waves are small. With a slight swell and a vast crowd, it’s easy to get what we call “wave-hungry.” When the line-up is wave hungry is when people get ugly. That’s one of the reasons I enjoy big wave surfing so much more than small wave surfing. Size in the ocean weeds out the crowd in a hurry.

When it’s critical…when there is serious consequence for failure…the respect in the line-up goes up dramatically. In big wave surfing…the percentage of high-character people in the line-up is in stark contrast to the ratio on small days.  You say you want to change the world? You’d like to make a difference? It all starts by figuring yourself out and getting WITH IT.

Very few people understand the concept of Self Actualization. Actualization has everything to do with relating to life as it ACTUALLY happens. We are either in accord with life…right here, right now…accepting it on its terms and conditions…rather than wishing we could bend it to suit our lower-tiered desires…or we are off to never-never land fixated on happy horseshit where we imprison ourselves in fortresses of fantasy. Life unfolds ONE way…an ACTUAL way…and it is indifferent to your commitment to moping, complaining, or wailing away. Let the dead bury the dead. AND GET WITH IT!

In this episode, Sean discusses Gravitas - hence the title of the episode. Mass creates a gravitational pull, bringing others into the sphere of influence - GRAVITAS. Relationships are the key to relevance. Relevance is the key to influence. The world needs authentic leaders that can discern between shit and Shinola now, more than ever.

These past three to four months have brought such brutal pain into Sean's sphere of awareness. First, the back injury; then, the Shingles; then heartbreak; then a brutal sickness while traveling across the world all alone on a mission to serve a sick family member. The Philosopher’s Stone is the Alchemist’s capacity to deal with life’s bullshit and suffering with grace…while SHINING!

The Tree of Knowledge referred to in Genesis would more appropriately be called the Tree of Good and Bad…that experience is good/that one is bad. That feeling is good/that one is bad. The Tree of Creation lifts the initiate out of the Happy Horseshit narrative of good and bad and allows the Creator to transcend the low-life desires for things to be good…in favor of allegiance to the Big Mission. The world has never needed you more to rise out of the mindless muck and mire of the Matrix and Get With It!

The devil is pure effort. The devil is in the details. The devil is in the details of how you go about strategically implementing the plan. The will to follow the game plan no matter what the fuck gets in the way is the devil. So we must find that power, that pure power, and we must embrace the devil inside if we truly wish to create.

The suffering from a broken heart is as painful as anything we can experience. And anyone that loves with all their might will inevitably come face to face with heartbreak. So then what? Do we cry out for MERCY? Or let the heart be torn to shreds and yell FREEDOM! 

Heartache is simply an unwillingness to grow at the rate that our destiny develops. Suffering comes from the abrasions of being dragged along by the things we don’t want to change or wish weren’t changing. We can get thrashed along a rocky road for miles or jump in the chariot and follow life as it unfolds. Everything around us goes its own way. The savvy traveler notices and follows the path as it reveals itself moment by moment.

Another episode filled with thunder. Literally. The thunder in the background (which at one point I mistakenly referred to as lightning) is often referred to as the voice of the heavens. What a beautiful background soundtrack. Many of you have expressed curiosity about Qabalah, and many of you have said you have no idea what I’m talking about when I say words like Keter or Malkhut. Since Sean's had a lot of time to dwell on the mystical as he recovered from Shingles, he chose to deliver a brief introduction to Qabalah in this episode.
