Podcasts about Rez

Things Discussed: Howard preview: Their center isn't a center, but he's mini-Yaxel. Takeaways from BTT: Brian/Craig/Sam: The Purdue game was just a ref show—Oscar Cluff is a a) Buffalo, b) Oaf, c) deliberately running guys over and cheating on screens. Michigan doesn't have enough galoots. Seth: I've moved on. Biggest concern is Michigan vs Wisconsin: bringing too much help to the rim when we have some five-out teams (Saint Louis!) in the first weekend. Georgia and St. Louis. Georgia is soft—they have a shot-blocker and a lot of guards who can get their own points. Robbie Avila looks like Seth Fisher—he looks like a gumnut out there—but he's very skilled, especially at setting his guys up. I really like their four, Amari McCottry. Yaxel, take over man! Lots of opportunities to get him vs a mouse in the house and they didn't make the read. Michigan seemed to want to use Rez in that spot instead and he didn't have an inspired week. Pickin upsets: UNI over St. John's? Can slow the game to a grind. Kinda think NDSU? They've rediscovered the lost art of the defensive-invariant floater—not saying I am picking a 14 over a 3 but that's the one. Craig: Anyone notice they got Hurley, Izzo, and Cronin all in the same corner of the bracket? Poor Johnny Dawkins: what did I do to end up with these guys? Going further than their seed: Arkansas and Acuff. He's going to be a lottery pick, Arkansas paid for him and it was worth it. Calipari teams are kids at the start of the year (when they played MSU) but by the Tourney they're not freshmen anymore. OT: [BREAKING NEWS: Cade Cunningham will be out 8-10 weeks with a collapsed lung.] Billy Donlon in at EMU. Why did he leave Michigan? Not saying. In break: Does Michigan get an NIL discount? Champions Circle doesn't want to say so but yeah, when the money is close it's about lifestyle. Texas should get a Tournament ban for getting in last year and this year. Their best nonconference win: NC State. Bubble was terrible this year but that doesn't mean a mid SEC team should get in. Miami University is the perfect Tournament invite: They understood the assignment. Whom to invite instead of bubbly major conference teams? Mid-majors who won their conferences. Illinois in the Final Four? Yeah, they've got size and Wagler can shoot them to Indy (I had Nebraska taking out Florida). Houston takes such ugly shots, Illinois will make them uglier. Who can expose their frontcourt? Well, Florida.

Things Discussed: Fears: The Red Cedar Message Board are sacrificing their junk to get the bottom of this. Minus LJ: Roddy Gayle stepping up. Just need him to finish (read: no turnovers) at the rim. Trey McKenney doing it on defense. What teams scare you in the BTT? Illinois has the size and can shoot their way out of any problems with the softness of their frontcourt. Nebraska plays offense like an NBA team, and that allows them to get around Michigan's defense a bit. MSU is a bad matchup for them, however, because MSU has so much size on the perimeter. Purdue? They are getting 100% what they can from offense and they are limited on defense. Michigan? Can they keep Mara and Cadeau on the court? Cadeau is showing he's willing to shoot more and there will be a correction to that from defenses to bring back the dunks. Officiating vs MSU, what's the deal? Fears should have been thrown out of the game. The 3rd foul on Rez was 100% a foul grift and needs to be legislated out of the game. The only reason they called a tech on Mara is because they just gave one to Fears. They must like being yelled at by Izzo because they reward his behavior. It's just the one guy—Ron Groover—who shows deference to Izzo, is a notorious Duke friend. But this does not apply to Jeffrey Anderson, and DJ Carstensen, who's retiring after the Tourney, is the best at officiating bigs. The Fears foul can't be a Class B tech—that's what McKenney knocking the ball out of a guy's hands is. These should not be the same things. We saw that in hockey last night when ND ran the goalie twice; the Big Ten doesn't care about player safety. Izzo: Why should you go to jail for a crime someone else noticed? IU: What happened to you? Don't even think DeVries's kid is that good. NCAA Tourney? Duke lost their PG and might be without their C until the 2nd week, aren't as deep as Michigan. Arizona has so much size and depth; their offense can be stopped by three bigs but until they meet a Michigan they probably won't be threatened. Iowa State can shoot man—Mommy!—might be in our bracket because Michigan played a lot of the potential 2 seeds already. Good news all of these teams don't want to see Michigan.

Things Discussed: Illinois game: Impressed that they not just shut down Wagler with Yax but they hunted Wagler defensively. They're not physical enough to play defense and not quick enough to guard point guards—Dent did it to them, Fears did it to them. Why didn't Illinois shoot us out of their building if they're five out? Mara was everywhere on defense, Boswell was left to shoot. When Boswell got downhill he gave Cadeau issues. That's something to watch out for because burlyguards on top of a five-out offense are able to score vs M. Yax went off-script to switch on defense. MSU the second-best team in the Big Ten; Illinois is going to get physicaled out of the Tournament. Rez was lit, and that maybe lit up Mara. When Mara gets himself to the rim he's unstoppable. What do you do when someone takes away what you want to be? Cason: Problem with losing him is ^. He was our answer. Best finisher on the team, critical in transition. Like with Rez last year, the play that he got injured on was the play that shows you who he is. Replacing Cason: Cadeau has to back off to play 30 minutes. Minutes-wise Trey and Gayle. Usage-wise, Yaxel can do more in transition and hunting his own buckets, want to run more offense through Mara. Gayle would be nice—he's been that before—but he hasn't been good this year. McKenney is not a creator at all at this point. If they play without Cadeau opponents are going to blitz the ball. When that's Mara...good luck. Who's the Big Ten PoY: Two different questions: Who's the best player in the Big Ten this year? Yaxel or Wagler, and Yax's defense puts him over the top for me. Who's going to win it? Probably Braden Smith, even though he's

Nota el sentido de la palabra “cabeza” en los siguientes textos: • Moisés escogió “varones de virtud de entre todo Israel, y los puso por jefes (literalmente “cabezas”) sobre el pueblo, sobre mil, sobre cien, sobre cincuenta y sobre diez” (Éxo. 18:25).• “Los jefes (literalmente “cabezas”) de la congregación” (Núm. 31:26).• Dios pondría a Israel “por cabeza y no por cola” si le obedecían (Deut. 28:13).• “Porque la cabeza de Siria es Damasco, y la cabeza de Damasco, Rezín” (Isa. 7:8)• “Y los hijos de Judá y de Israel […] levantarán para sí un jefe (literalmente “cabeza”)” (Ose. 1:11).• “Jefes (literalmente “cabezas”) de la casa de Jacob, y capitanes de la casa de Israel” (Miq. 3:9).• “Cristo es la cabeza de todo hombre” (1 Cor. 11:3). Por lo tanto, Cristo, como cabeza de la iglesia, provee el liderazgo, la orientación y el sustento necesarios para su unidad y crecimiento (ver Col. 2:19). Lee 1 Corintios 12:12-27. Pablo describe aquí a la iglesia como un “cuerpo”. ¿Qué otros aspectos de la iglesia son representados mediante esta metáfora? Así como el cuerpo no puede vivir sin la cabeza, la vida puede resultar mucho más difícil cuando se pierde o se lesiona una de sus partes. A menudo, no reconocemos cuán importante es algo hasta que lo perdemos. Si tuvieras que renunciar a una parte de tu cuerpo, ¿cuál elegirías? ¿Qué te dice esto acerca de cuán vital es cada persona como miembro de la iglesia?

Lies About Marriage by ResLife Ministry

Who Is Luc Lake, Anyway, and Why Am I Talking About Him?Luc Lake is one of my created artists, and his life is shrouded in mystery. No one at my studio knows where he lives, where he comes from, or where he goes after a recording session.His latest album, Larger Earth, comes with a disclaimer:“We, at IneliaRecords.com, will neither confirm nor deny that Luc Lake is from the Larger Earth, the stars (whether they are a lake or a reality), an ultra-dimension, the future or the past, or a planet with three suns that is not Earth.”What we do know is that Luc exists where sound meets perception, using music not to tell stories but to open space. He is not a performance persona or a character designed for spectacle. He is very serious about his work and his message.Luc uses few words and a Tech House expression to convey the energetic states he wants us to experience. His music is minimal, spacious, and emotionally rich without being overwhelming. It leaves room. It doesn't rush meaning or require interpretation.Through Luc Lake, I explore states of awareness that resist explanation but translate clearly into feeling. The tracks are environments you enter and recognize through forgotten knowledge and buried memory.Larger Earth is the first full expression of what the Larger Earth feels like as a place. It is not symbolic. It is not hypothetical. It is not metaphor. It breaks from the known continents and from the shadow of illusion that has shaped how we have been taught to understand Earth.The album was not created to describe a future or propose an idea, but to reflect something many people already sense quietly: that Earth, as lived, is more layered, intelligent, and expansive than the version we were taught to believe exists.In this work, Luc normalizes what might otherwise seem fanciful. He opens doors to perception without telling us what is behind them. It is up to us to open those doors and walk through, or at least peek through the keyhole.There is a moment many people recognize but rarely talk about.Nothing dramatic happens.No vision. No collapse. No revelation scene.You are standing in your kitchen, walking down a familiar street, answering emails, and suddenly the world feels bigger and radically different. Not louder. Not brighter. Just wider. As if reality has more rooms than you were previously allowed to enter. Time stretches, or sometimes collapses, and suddenly several hours have passed.Luc Lake's album Larger Earth was created to bring clarity to that moment.Not another world.This one, perceived differently.The lyrics on Larger Earth are intentionally spare. They do not tell stories in the usual way, and they do not explain themselves. This is not because something is missing. It is because Luc is not trying to convince you of anything.He is pointing to something you already sense. Something you already know.In real-life terms, the album is not about leaving Earth or escaping human experience. It is about what Earth reveals itself to be when perception expands beyond the narrow bandwidth we were trained to use.Same planet.More perception.Why the Lyrics Don't Explain ThemselvesI do teach that meaning and understanding often arrive through definition. However, some experiences collapse when they are over-described.I was very tempted to explain every single line in Luc's songs, but doing so would defeat the point. The lyrics are not puzzles to solve; they are coordinates.That said, for those who enjoy exploring inspiration and backstory, I will be revealing some of the sources behind specific descriptions, songs, and lines in the Wisdom Keeper section of our podcast, Driving to the Rez.How to Listen to the AlbumFeel into the music and the lyrics.Let the imagery take you as far as it can.Allow yourself to tap into the remembrance.If you'd like to spend more time with this work, you can download your personal copy of Luc's album at my store, or listen on Spotify here.We also explore the Larger Earth and the role of music in greater depth on our podcast, where these themes continue to unfold through conversation.Enjoy the music, and the memories.IneliaThe discussion doesn't stop here - listen to the full podcast episode for unfiltered insights from Inelia and our panelists.

Things Discussed: Nebraska: Nearly won that game shorthanded. Got great performances from replacements but ran their starters into the ground. Craig's analysis: Hoiberg decided to play some football. Steamroller screens and the like. Nebraska just made contested threes in the first half that they missed in the second half. Sam Hoiberg is straight up good: understands basketball, understands how to organize a team, understands how to get the ball to his guys. Second half Michigan did press the press the edges a little tighter. Kenpom tracks 2 point distance. We're thrilled. Seth: The most important stats in basketball are two-point defense and two-point offense, and the most important component of two point percentage is distance from the rim. Michigan wins these games because they get to the rim better than anybody and push you away from the rim better than anybody. Hoiberg knew he had to shoot to win, but also drew up some excellent sets to get free twos when he needed them. Shout-out to Nebraska's Max Bredeson kickout and form tackling. Hoiberg messed so well with Michigan's switches: They want to switch one to four, and they want to leave Mara available to put his hand in the way at the rim. Nebraska's response was to run these double screens—the Rip Hamilton way—to get cracks open for their shooters, but that contributed to their shooters getting tired in the 2nd half. Turnovers: some are baked in, unforced. This game additionally had ref show turnovers but they're going to take chances to get to the rim because that's what's so important to them. MSU preview: They're such a Big Ten team. They can get around M's two-point defense because they shoot assisted other twos and those are good enough shots opposite the #1 defense. They get after you (not the ball: they jump on your back) on the boards. Kohler has really turned himself into a shooter, might be an NBA player. Fears was terrible early in the season but now he's an excellent guard. Gets after it (and you) on defense, isn't a great shooter but can find pockets to pass into and draws a ton of fouls then makes his FTs. Coen Carr = Brent Petway! MSU is going to play dirty. Nobody in the country gets better calls at home, and they are going to use that strategically. Expect them to be mauling Mara to deny paint touches, expect Cooper to have his arm wrapped on Rez and pulling him down. All the gritty trick that define Izzo teams. What's with Yax? Think he's drawing more defensive attention and that's creating more for Morez Johnson. That's a credit to Dusty May: when he built this roster he built in answers for everything you want to do to them. Credit to Trey McKenney. He's become the 6th man, because he will come in and give you whatever you need right then. Defense? He's big and athletic. Need to hit some free throws (vs OSU, or the three at the Under-8 timeout?) he's got you. Missing your threes, he'll knock down a pair.

What Now by ResLife Ministry

Things Discussed: IU national champions: Most unlikely championships in the history of sports. Credit Cignetti and top to bottom program management. How did they do it? Talent evaluation is elite. Built like 2023 Michigan: develop a lot of your own guys and then surgically found guys in the portal. Seth: Lesson for the rest of CFB is ROI: IU wasn't paying that much for their JMU guys, wasn't spending to have 5-stars learning to play on the three-deep. Focus shifting from Ty Haywoods (super talented, needs 3 years) to Blake Frazier (ready now) because there's no guarantee you'll get any return. Need to build your scouting department to watch all of CFB and know what you need. Sam: Can Michigan recreate the JMU Dudes with some of the Utah guys they got? Not a coincidence the Big Ten is winning championships and SEC isn't even in the game. Two reasons the SEC was dominant: they had a culture of paying players under the table and they had Nick Saban. Being able to develop guys (without them leaving or costing too much) will be the golden egg in the future. How sustainable? Maybe? Bringing in a veteran QB every year, DC might get Jesse Minter'd to a better job. Should remain a good team, very hard to repeat. Hoops: Shooting better? Maybe, but 3s are random and they're probably capped around okay in that department because they have guys like Gayle, Cason and Yax. IU lost their main guy who could get to the bucket and M could lock them down. Excellent defensive performance disguised by Kenpom. IU shut down M's transition game by abandoning the boards. Interesting decision by IU because those were M weaknesses. Yax okay? Think he plays off Rez—the scouting report is focus on Yaxel so that's opened up things for Johnson, since no team has enough big wings to last against both of them. Ohio State preview: OSU is an effort game—Thornton can shoot and they make a lot of floaters. CANNOT let them cut and get to the rim. They don't play defense so you have to put up 100 on them. Nebraska: Nebraska might be without their freshman winger Braden Frager, that makes them a five-out team. Can you play Mara against them? Break: Tatum to RB? Probably a Whittingham "gonna try that" thing. He's had success with that, but it's a bit late and there's no scouting on it. Like what it says about Tatum as a team player. Don't think he can play both AND baseball. That's a lot, and safety is the moon to him. Hockey: Michigan is #1 in Big Ten points percentage but they've got the hardest schedule of any team in hockey left to go. Let off the gas for 10 minutes of 120 against Minnesota and were unlucky not to get more goals. Have to protect Peck—this team can play defense like that, going to have to maintain that focus. Can't lose points against the OSUs and Minnesotas because the games vs MSU/Wisconsin will determine the league. Can you get Ivankovic back? Maybe? Haven't heard anything positive except they haven't ruled it out. Trey Burke: Top three player in M history? Yeah. Block was clean, and so was the team.

Dr. Geo and Dr. Robert Caruso dive deep into what really causes urinary symptoms in men—and why prostate size alone doesn't tell the full story. Dr. Caruso shares how his “blue zone” Italian upbringing, his 98-year-old mother, and even a family story involving a bear shaped his holistic view of urology, where diet, movement, spine health, constipation, and sleep apnea all matter. From there, they walk through medications (alpha-blockers, 5-alpha-reductase inhibitors, daily tadalafil) and when each actually makes sense, including surprising cardiovascular and nocturia benefits of PDE5 inhibitors. The conversation then shifts to procedures: bipolar TURP vs classic TURP, and in-office options like UroLift, Rezūm steam therapy, and the newer iTind device—who they're for, how they're done, and what to expect for recovery, ejaculation, and long-term results. By the end, you'll know what questions to bring to your urologist, how to think beyond “just the prostate,” and when vapor therapy or other minimally invasive treatments may be the right next step for your BPH.Time-Stamped Highlights00:00 – Why surgery isn't the only answer for BPH-Dr. Geo introduces Dr. Caruso and frames the episode around minimally invasive, real-world solutions for urinary symptoms.05:00 – Blue-zone lifestyle, Italian roots, and holistic urology-Dr. Caruso's upbringing, his 98-year-old mother, and how growing food, movement, and nature shape his approach to men's health.15:00 – It's not “just the prostate”: spine, sleep, and metabolism-How back and neck issues, constipation, diabetes, and sleep apnea can drive frequency and nocturia just as much as gland size.25:00 – Meds that do more: tadalafil, alpha-blockers, and 5-ARIs-When daily tadalafil can help erections, BPH, and nocturia; who might benefit from alpha-blockers or finasteride/dutasteride—and who probably shouldn't.35:00 – From TURP to in-office options: choosing the right procedure-Bipolar TURP for large prostates and median lobes vs. office-based UroLift, Rezūm steam therapy, and iTind—what they are, how long they last, and what to ask your urologist about ejaculation, catheters, and recovery.________________________

What do crystals, fossils, stunning sunsets, black magic, demons and insanity have in common?Our drive to Colorado does.It started as a simple trip — one week or so in Delta,Co., including driving time because we were scheduled to present at a Sasquatch conference in Beaver, Wa. immediately on our return. Larry and I had found a piece of land in Colorado that was stunning: acres of desert mesa beauty covered in selenite crystals, ancient fossils, and wide open sky. But to make it ours, we stepped into something else entirely.The land we originally purchased was not empty. It is 40 acres, half of which when looked upon resembles a moonscape pristine and majestic alluring and entrancing, yet look the other direction, and it was sprinkled in abandoned squatters encampments — people living in tents, and improvised shacks, surrounded by hills of garbage, abandoned vehicles, and the unmistakable residue of drugs and dark practices. It wasn't just a physical mess. The entire area felt thick, like a psychic swamp.Yet, the power and the message from the land was very clear: clean me.This started a line of questions and inquiries for Larry and me because it did not make much sense for our lives. Yes, the whole thing came about because we bought land and wanted to hold in person events there — yet the view was massively and negatively impacted by the encampments, not exactly the ideal backdrop for a gathering.We wondered how to fence off or hide the view of the encampments — maybe trees, or a very big fence — so our guests would not be subjected to the negative view. Little did we realize then that the negativity was not just in the view; the people there were drug addicts and black magic practitioners. It was a classic case of buying a slice of paradise then finding out your neighbors are 100% incompatible with your enjoyment of that paradise. Something not unlike the present split in reality we are cocreating this very moment more broadly. Some things are simply incompatible with each other. Period.But that realization came some time later.Some months ago, one of our neighbors told us that the parcel covered in black magic and detritus was for sale through a foreclosure sale. Larry and I looked at our finances and bought it. After the sheriff's sale, we believed the previous owners and their guests would become compelled to leave and we would have clean, clear land with some clean up perhaps to conduct.Nope. They dug in, and we had to spend months and thousands of dollars in litigation to clear them out. Apparently, landowners in Colorado have a huge burden and many hoops to clearing their land from individuals with any claim whatsoever to being present. Once cleared, trespassing is very strongly enforced with very serious consequences, but give, as in give permission at any point, even in a limited manner, and that can quickly be construed as permission to inhabit which then requires a long process to rescind.As we arrived there for our week visit, I remember standing there the first day, watching the wind shimmer through the crystals on the ground while the smell of decay and burnt plastic rose from piles of trash. Light and shadow, beauty and horror, coexisting within the same few acres of land. I thought it would be a quick cleanup because the eviction process was set and it was just a matter of the sheriff coming over and getting the squatters to leave the land.I was wrong.The Land of ParadoxThere's something surreal about seeing selenite glinting in the sunlight beside syringes and blackened fire pits. The land itself seemed to whisper — “Clean me.” It was both sacred and deep. Ancient. Yet, the surface was anything but.Larry and I sat down to discuss why Gaia — the land and the human collective — wanted it cleaned. After all, what does it matter to Gaia if those people and garbage stay there? After a million years, nothing would be left of them. A million years ago everything there was blown to smithereens by the largest volcanic eruption on the continent creating the flat topped mesa 100's of square miles in size, which is just the base of this gigantic mountain that is no more. Another million years ago the entirety was submerged at the bottom of an ocean of water. So a few people? What's the biggie, besides it was nasty to experience in our present, a dark to our light. But the message came in stronger every day: no one was allowed to stay, and no garbage was allowed to stay either.We visited the sheriff's office to find out what we were supposed to do, and they were very clear that for the process to be legal, we had to be present. Physically stay and be there for the entire process to be legal and complete. Otherwise, it would be cancelled and would need to begin over again from the beginning.Oops… We might not make our sasquatch event commitment…The eviction date was not the one stated in the judgment. We had to wait two days after that date, then get a writ for the sheriff, who would then post eviction notices, and after ten more days, go to the land to evict them. After that, the people would get another day to get all their stuff out.Not only that, but the eviction process itself was complex. It required us to go into all the structures where people were living — RVs, mobile homes, and so on — and remove absolutely everything that was not nailed to the ground, floor, or ceiling… by hand, and place it in an area they could later accessYup, we were told we had to move all the items by hand. There were deadlines, county notices, and an eviction process already in motion. On paper, it looked straightforward. In reality, what those people had in their living accommodations was the stuff of nightmares. The rooms were filled from floor to ceiling with garbage, scrap metal, dirty laundry and dishes, and so much more — including drug needles and black magic sigils on the floors, walls, and ceilings.And then came the energy of resistance. The people living there didn't want to leave. They begged, lied, cast spells, called the sheriff, their own lawyers, and called upon spirits — sometimes all in the same day. They wept and they cursed. It wasn't just about losing a camp; it was about a dark collective trying to hold on to territory, both physical and energetic.At night, I could feel the field pulsing — fear, anger, confusion, war. Each morning, I'd wake determined to face it again, and each night, I'd fall into bed emotionally drained, my nervous system fried.The Human Vessel of DarknessIt's easy to think of “squatters” as a faceless problem. But once you meet them, you realize they're human vessels of darkness — fragments of the collective human psyche acting out low-frequency patterns: aggression, anger, suffering, indulgence, righteousness. Each one carried archetypes: the lost healer, the trickster, the wanderer, the wounded child, the demon, the mage.Some were kind, some dangerous, some clearly caught in deep delusion. A few believed the land was “theirs by divine right.” Others just wanted to stick it to the man. I couldn't help but feel pity for their choices — but pity alone wasn't enough.One of the sheriff's deputies told us to be careful — that these people had months to get organized and leave, and they hadn't. They would try to get us to let them stay longer, but if we agreed, the entire legal process we had gone through would be invalidated.For most lightworkers, the hardest part is learning where compassion ends and enabling begins. Sometimes love wears the face of firmness. Saying “no” to darkness is not a rejection of humanity — it's a kindness and an affirmation of truth.This was one of the most important things to keep in mind for this trip: staying loving without becoming naïve, staying clear without becoming aggressive or overwhelmed.Still, leading up to the eviction date, our bodies took a toll — both emotionally and physically.And then, our allies rallied around us.Yes — four of our Driving to the Rez panelists, plus our friend Teo, traveled over a thousand miles to help us clean not just the new land, but also the previous property, which still had garbage and negative energies from the previous year when we had purchased it.They arrived in two RVs, with their pet dogs, garbage bags, gloves, and other equipment to get the job done. And did they ever!They arrived a few days before the eviction date and got to work. We also had an amazing time hunting for desert-grown selenite crystals, fossils, agates, jasper, and petrified wood.At night, we gathered to skywatch in the desert and saw multiple planes, satellites, and yes — UFOs!The Eviction Day ArrivedThe sheriff's deputies arrived on time, calm and professional. The county representatives were kind, responsive, and genuinely concerned. The neighbors offered tools, advice, and hands.It was as if the universe had organized a living example of collective light-in-action. Where I expected bureaucracy, I found compassion. Where I expected to be overwhelmed, I found help.It reminded me that humanity is not lost. The system — often criticized for its lack of empathy — became, in this case, a framework through which order, safety, and clarity could flow.It wasn't “us versus them.” It was all of us bringing a corner of reality back into coherence.Larry and I met the sheriff's deputies at the road and decided to evict the trailers scattered throughout the land first. As it happened, the people had already left, but they had left their trailers and a lot of items inside them. We left our helpers back at our other parcel until we were sure those people were gone; they had become aggressive in previous days, and we didn't want to risk anyone's safety.We had employed a moving company that specialized in evictions. They said they would empty the buildings, place everything on the doorway, and then we had to move it away to a designated area where the squatters then had 24 hours to collect it.Two big, strong men arrived to empty the trailers and buildings, and Larry got to work with them.Then it was time for the big mobile homes. The sheriff told the people to leave the building, and they did so without a fuss. We called our friends, and they came over to start getting everything from the doorway out into the land where the squatters could then pick through it and take whatever they wanted. For 24 hours, all that stuff was still theirs.It took about eight hours non-stop to remove all the items from the two mobile homes. The residents were hoarders — like the worst nightmare show on TV, but worse. Looking back, if our friends had not come, we would have taken several days to finish the job.All I could do was watch and hold space, as before we left for Colorado I had broken my ankle and was not able to move much or stand on it.The Weight of NegativityDespite all the help, the experience took a toll. The level of emotional and mental pressure was something I hadn't felt in years. It wasn't just the logistics; it was the energetic density. The constant whining, as the adults played victims and painted us as aggressors, was exhausting.There was a young boy, around fifteen years old, who lived in that mess. Quite honestly, he was the most positive and helpful of the entire group.My emotional body felt inflamed and overstretched. My mental field would spin with intrusive thoughts and worries that weren't ours. At times I'd stare at the situation, wondering how so much darkness could exist in one place.One of the pieces of guidance I had received before eviction day was to realize that this was not about those people. They chose to stay where they didn't belong and to live in that type of situation. Gaia and the human collective did not want them there, and we were facilitating their exit. They will be fine and continue with their choices no matter where they go.Remember, this is our land now. As a matter of fact, they went to live at a much larger property with others who have the same lifestyle. We know this because, in the following week, we helped them take a lot of their stuff to the new land. They were not unhappy. On the contrary.It reminded me that in the light paradigm, darkness is literally not allowed to exist. Cruelty, addiction, co-dependent behavior, and black magic — all these things are not allowed to exist in our lives. Therefore, as we now owned the land, all those energies, and the people who carried them, had to leave.But why? I still wondered.Well, if you know my work, you'll know about the connection between power and land — and perhaps the Mapuche concept of the Rewe (pronounced “ewe,” though not spelled that way).I asked Gaia, why is it so important to own this land in Colorado and to clean it? We have our home in Washington State, and we have the Shamanashack and our collective land at Fossil Beach — so what is significant about the properties in Colorado?The answer came — fascinating, but not yet fully understood. The answer was: “The land in Colorado is a Rewe reservoir.”A reservoir of power? And if so, how do we access it?Well, the people there were using it for darkness. The Rewe was not fully activated, as no one knew how to do it — which was a good thing.So that was the reason for the removal of the people and the garbage that was encrusted on the land.It was not until everyone left and removed their claims that I pulled a couple of cards to get guidance on the land, and two things happened. One of them was that the power came out from inside the land and rose through my spine into the world — to take form.Just a note here: the sentence “The light inside rises and becomes form” will be fully explained in my next class, The Source Code of Manifestation: Unlocking the Quantum Core of Creation, which you can pre-orde here: “The Source Code of Manifestation”Sanity in the Midst of InsanityTo stay sane, I had to practice extreme diligence. Every day began with grounding, breathing, and re-centering in presence. I'd remind myself: observe, don't absorb.When fear, in the shape of stress, tried to creep in, I observed it as an external weather system. When exhaustion hit, I found small moments of beauty — the fossil of a shell glinting from the dirt, the way the setting sun turned the desert gold and purple, the laughter of a friend helping load the truck.The secret wasn't escaping the insanity. It was standing as the still point within it. Each day became an exercise in applied awareness — all the while allowing the inner light to rise and become form.What I understood is that true mastery is not theory or information only. We need to apply it for it to help — to use it in the mud, under pressure, surrounded by chaos, when the only thing holding us together is our choice to stay conscious and respond instead of react.The Turning PointWhen the final eviction was over, I didn't feel triumphant. I felt relief — and a strange sadness. That evening, a deep silence settled over the land. For the first time, I could hear the desert breathe again. Not just that, but I could feel myself and the desert breathing together.Our friends left after the squatters moved on. It still took a few extra days for the garbage to be hauled away, and beneath it all, the land revealed herself: ancient, raw, luminous. The selenite caught the morning light like tiny galaxies embedded in stone.A one-week trip had turned into a month-long marathon. The journey wasn't about property or cleanup — it was about embodiment, boundaries, and the split within consciousness. The human collective, represented by the county, the sheriff, the neighbors, and our small team, had come together to restore coherence.It was proof that light doesn't fight darkness — it simply holds a strong presence and boundaries for darkness to dissolve and move on. We were not friends, not acquaintances not cocreators with them, we were not enemies, conquerors, warriors pitted against each other, we were the light and only light.The Teaching from the LandLooking back, the land was the real teacher. The selenite — a stone of clarity, healing, and cleansing — wasn't just in the soil. It was in the experience. The fossils whispered of time, endurance, and the slow patience of existence.The entire ordeal mirrored humanity's current split: ancient wisdom buried under layers of distortion, now rising to the surface to be seen and healed.The most impinging realization for me was how much stress the human body and mind can endure when we forget to stay centered — and how quickly peace returns when we do.In the end, sacredness wasn't found in the crystals or fossils, but in the discipline of staying clear and kind when the world around us spins in chaos and tries to engage us in victim–aggressor blame and fear.The land wanted us to stay, and the work was not done yet. There were still piles of garbage and structures on the land that needed to be dealt with, but Larry and I put our foot down and drove home. Surprisingly, our trips usually take twice as long as the GPS tells us, but this time, instead of three days, it only took two.Who stayed behind finishing the cleaning of the land, garbage collection, and more was our friend and neighbor Jay. He sent us a video yesterday and we could not believe the change. All that is left are the mobile homes and a shed — nothing salvageable but things the squatters want back, and if they are able to figure out a way to get them off the land, we will work with them to do it.And yes — there's so much more to this story. The adventure, the people, the strange synchronicities, and the laughter that kept us human through it all. Even three guys on electric bikes going up and down adobe hills! Teo fell a few times, but it didn't stop him.To hear the full story from Larry's and my perspective and to find out what an adobe hill is, listen to this week's episode of Driving to the Rez.Subscribe wherever you get your podcasts, and join us for the next unexpected journey into the living field of Earth herself.To listen to our tribe's journey of over 1000 miles to help us, click here.The discussion doesn't stop here - listen to the full podcast episode for unfiltered insights from Inelia and our panelists.

This week on Driving to the Rez, we're sharing a true story that sounds almost too wild to be true.It started with a stunning piece of land in the Colorado desert - raw, powerful, and shimmering with natural selenite and ancient fossils. But when Larry and I arrived, the scene was anything but peaceful. The property was covered in squatters, black magic, debris, and an eviction order that required everything to be cleared by hand, in just a few hours.Overwhelmed? That's an understatement. But what happened next transformed an impossible cleanup into an unforgettable adventure. Five people - Fred, Dr. Kara, Iliana, Teodor, and Ashley - each received their own nudge from the universe and drove over 1,000 miles to meet us there.Why would anyone take that kind of trip? What called them to the Colorado desert? And how did it all unfold once they arrived?What started as a desperate cleanup became a living lesson in manifestation, teamwork, and the magic that unfolds when people follow their inner knowing.From dusty RV convoys to laughter and UFOs under the desert stars, this episode reveals how even the most challenging circumstances can turn into an adventure- and how a group of friends transformed chaos into clarity.✨ Don't miss this inspiring real-life adventure.The discussion doesn't stop here - listen to the full podcast episode for unfiltered insights from Inelia and our panelists.

So glad you have some time to read my article today. Larry and I have been on a trip to Colorado that has taken more time than we initially planned, and our normal recording schedule for DrivingToTheRez.com has had to change a little. Therefore, we'll be doing things a little differently this week and have just Larry and me discussing this fascinating topic.It is, of course, about the WE music (again). But I promise it won't have anything to do with bananas or wind.No - this week I wanted to talk about the special album for September that WE created, called “Ancient Voices.” The album carries the following message in all its songs, each performed by different WE expressions through synthesized voices and genres:Now remember the power that runs through your veins,The ancient voices in your bones.The power of the universe in your words,Waiting to rise, waiting to be heard.The words came about in a very funny way, actually. I was trying to write an article for you several weeks ago, and instead of an article, I wrote a song - or at least the chorus of one.After that happened, I had to go ahead and expand on the spirit of the words and make it an article. In case you're curious, the article and podcast I'm referring to is “The Occult Currency of Consent: How Darkness Runs on the Power We Give It.”The energy of stepping into our own power, as a people, is very strong right now, and we are doing our best to help it reach our lives through music.As you probably know, I am also a writer and have used novels to deliver tools for growth and personal empowerment. But a book can take years to write, while music takes much less time for me - especially now that we, as a human collective, have created tools that facilitate professional-sounding voices and instruments.I want to share a little bit about each of the WE music expressions and how the energy is different for each one. I'll list them in alphabetical order for ease of reading:Alicia AvilaAlicia is actually the last of the musical personas that the WE created to date. Her history is interesting to me because she and her music embody an Inelia that lives in an alternative timeline where music never left my life.On one of those timelines, I moved to Paris, France, at the age of 15 to live with a Chilean musical group called Los Jaivas. In this timeline, that didn't happen because when the group invited me to live with them, my mother refused to consider it. In that other timeline, she moved with me, and we lived in their community for many years. I learned and played music at a local conservatory and also from the musicians themselves and their children, who were also very talented. Her songs are very personal and filled with my own story and viewpoint. Of all the musicians, I would say she embodies my cultural musical background the most. An interesting bit of information is that Alicia is Roxy Vale's third cousin, once removed, and Roxy has taken Alicia under her wing from the very beginning.Glass DaisyGlass Daisy is a music group that came straight out of the pages of my upcoming novels, Daisy Chain. Their music is part of the plot, and their birth into the real world came about through the world-building of the series. We could say they were the first WE expression of music that was born. In the series, I explore linear time, soul journeys, and reality creation. As I created the music in the real world, I thought to create a fictional record label where readers could go and purchase the songs. As soon as I started working on that page, everything cascaded - and now we have an actual record label, with a website and not just Glass Daisy but many, many other genres and musicians.Iron CedarThis band is also part of the Daisy Chain world creation and lore. They are interesting in that they provide several points of connection between the different “Daisies” in the chain - turning the linear time of a family lineage into a living bridge through past and future. Their appearance in the novels is filled with mystery, as is their sudden disappearance when over a hundred witnesses saw a thunderbird take them from a forest concert at the Makah Reservation.Jazzy StevensJazzy was born from a personal song I wrote and created for my daughter, Daniela. Her style - retro pop - is directly inspired by the 1980s but with modern overtones. Jazzy is not part of any novel (so far), but she is a very well-rounded WE expression.She is 21 years old and lives with her mom and dad in Liverpool, England. She has a little pet dog, Tuty, and graduated from university at 16 - the first in her family to earn a degree, an event her entire street celebrated.Leo MarLeo wanted to come through for several weeks before I let him in. The deciding factor was a conversation with Driving to the Rez panelist and friend Iliana Rojero, when we discussed the possibility of songs in Spanish.Leo is in his early 30s and lives in an apartment in Florida. In fact, he bought the whole building and moved his entire extended family into it - parents, siblings, grandparents, uncles, aunties, and cousins. He is an active force for the return of true power to the people of Earth.He is also very close to his maternal grandmother, who adores him.Luc LakeLuc is a 27-year-old single guy who was discovered at a well-known Tech House club in New York City. After each performance, he picks up his backpack and walks out - no one knows where he lives. Several fans have tried to follow him but lost him in the subway.Wearing sunglasses and a hoodie, never showing his eyes, a conspiracy theory has formed suggesting he may be an alien. WE at Inelia Records cannot confirm or deny these allegations. All WE can say is that he mysteriously appears at our studios - and then, just as mysteriously, disappears after recording his music.Roxy ValeRoxy is one of our original WE expressions. She came quickly after Glass Daisy, and her style reflects what I would sing had I stayed in a musical career in England. For Roxy, WE wanted a spectacular voice and personality. We discuss her in detail on our “Woo” podcast episode of Driving to the Rez - “I Fed My Soul's Story Into AI - and Out Came Roxy Vale.”For each of their songs, the words are expressed through music and lyrics that fit the genre they embody. A reminder again of the message WE want you to hear:Now remember the power that runs through your veins,The ancient voices in your bones.The power of the universe in your words,Waiting to rise, waiting to be heard.You can listen to all these versions of Ancient Voices on BackStage at IneliaRecords.com - and let the resonance of the WE remind you of your own power.The discussion doesn't stop here - listen to the full podcast episode for unfiltered insights from Inelia and our panelists.
