Opening Remarks

Adam Wes: Namaste, everybody! Welcome!

Celebration, graduation—how fun is this? You all have succeeded in transforming the world by transforming yourselves, because we are a society. Society isn't something outside of us; it's a collection of human beings, like a tribe. Imagine a tribe in ancient days with 100 people—each person is 1%. So how do we transform the world? We have to tend the soil of the self and bring abundance, wholeness, and that benevolence that comes from knowing your true self, from being with your true self.

This is how we bring substance to the world—something that brings peace, love, joy, and happiness, like David's hearts right now.

You have followed through with, probably, mostly, 31 days of meditation. It started as an idea, an aspiration, and you willed it into existence. You brought it into your life; you made a decision. That's how transformation works—we make a decision. A lot of people say, "Oh, I should meditate, I'll do it one day." But you did it! You actually did it! And I've received so many beautiful messages from people.

Good job, Roshna! Good job, Praveen! You guys did such a great—wait, we're missing...

Amon! We have to have Amon here. Okay, I have to—well, he'll arrive soon. Aman and Debbie, they'll miss this part. So, good job, everybody else. It's really, really wonderful.

The whole idea behind the meditation resolution is to begin. It's kind of hard to begin sometimes, you know? We have to be trailblazers in our own selves, building that trail where, in the forest, there's no path. But if we walk it enough times, a trail appears, and we'll walk it from then on.

So today we'll talk a little bit about how to maintain this practice, what you can do. Think of this as the beginning of perhaps many years of meditation and spiritual practice. Now, you could obviously do it with us and the group, but you can also do it by yourself. This isn't meant to be promotional—although you can always participate in supportive programs—but it's meant to set you in a state of independence, where you can continue and make the most of this decision you've made with the resolution here.

So, let's see. One of the things—I've gotten some beautiful messages from people about how this is helping them. Meditation...

Harrison, are you ready? Everything is still, except for you, Harrison.

Momentum in Meditation

Alright, so, one of the things I'd like to make everybody aware of is that meditation is a momentum. So, what is momentum? Momentum is the tendency to move in a particular direction. You can take a big thing and move it, and once it gets moving, it keeps moving. But you have to keep applying force to increase its momentum.

If you've taken Newtonian physics, you know the more you keep applying force, the more it gains momentum. Eventually, you have this thing that's moving, and it doesn't stop unless you apply the same force in reverse.

Meditation and spirituality are very much about creating an inner momentum. It starts to present itself in a number of ways. You may have just gotten the initial taste—maybe your anxiety has lifted, your benevolence has increased, your intelligence has refined. All of these things happen with continued practice.

So you've done just one month. After a year, how creative might you be, Kira? I know you've been doing this for a long time, but look how creative you are. And you just keep going, right?

After a year, David, how aligned with integrity will your business endeavors be? And your magic and your Dantehen power, right? After a year, Roshna, how deep will your sense of freedom be—your freedom to do whatever your heart wishes, to stand in equanimity and peace?

Cole, after a year, how clear and poised will you be in the boardroom, when you're talking to all those interesting finance people you'll be working with? This touches all of our lives.

And Ariella, how well will you be able to speak to the unborn children that are incarnating? You have to build this, so be aware of all the many blessings that come out of becoming whole and becoming your bliss. The bliss of being is within us.

So, more practice, more consistency—keep it going. Oh, here's Debbie. Excuse me.

Does anybody have Aman's number? I really wish Aman was here. I don't like Iman.

Harrison: I'll text him, I'll text him.

Adam Wes: Oh, wonderful, wonderful. Yeah, he actually showed up at 5:30 when we were originally going to start.

So, Debbie, you were just talking about how this practice builds momentum. The more you do it, the more the momentum accumulates.

Looking forward, 15 minutes a day is a good baseline, but it's hard to really dive in at 15 minutes—unless you're really good, actually. It's really for advanced people to just do 15 minutes.

Right? So, it's very true. If you want to see how far you can go, spend three hours doing nothing in your own neurotic mind, then spend an hour trying to meditate, and finally spend ten minutes really meditating. That'll be great, right? You can take a whole Saturday to do this.

A Year-Long Meditation Plan

So, I've outlined a process for the rest of the year that you may want to pursue. For the first three months, do fifteen minutes a day, and keep doing those fifteen minutes until it's just deeply part of your life.

Then you'll get a little bored with that. It'll become your new baseline, your new normal. Once you've normalized that in your life, move to fifteen minutes twice a day.

This is a very organic flowering. Think of yourself as a beautiful rose, just flowering—the petals opening naturally and slowly. Don't force them. Do fifteen minutes twice a day for the next three months.

Then you can increase one of those sessions to thirty minutes. Maybe your morning meditation becomes thirty minutes, unless you’re more aligned with a longer evening meditation. That's fine too.

For the last three months, do thirty minutes twice a day.

Which is really not that big of a deal. Yes, you'll probably meditate more than anybody you know.

But that's because we live in a kind of illiterate society—or, I don't know, it's like, imagine three hundred years ago, people couldn't read and write. We're in a society that doesn't really understand this yet. So, we don't want to be products of our society; we want to be truly ourselves.

After those next three months, you'll have an hour a day stabilized. You can stop there and do that for the rest of your life, or for as long as you want.

If you want to, you can bring it up to two hours a day. Two hours a day is a very devoted duration, but it's also quite optimal for the path to enlightenment. Do two hours a day, and then live in excellence for the other twenty-two hours.

Refining Life and Practice

Your dreaming should be still. Your eating should be mindful. Your work should be inspired. Everything, right? So you start refining everything. Your whole life comes into beautiful focus.

Yes, yes. So that's the plan ahead.

The practice room is available, so whether or not you continue with any programs, you can just log on to the website and see the practice room. You can see the book of the month, the quote of the day, when the full moons and new moons are, and read any new sermons I make.

You can go there—I'm planning to keep that really nice and beautiful, and expand upon it. So there's the practice room for you.

Let's see… Alright.

And then… oh, did anybody have any questions, by the way?

Alrighty. Tom…

Colleen: Well, I just want to congratulate everybody who did this. You're an inspiration, and if it happens again, I'm going to go for it.

Adam Wes: Wonderful. Thanks, Mom. Yes, so Colleen, my mom, she was going to join, actually, but she was traveling in South Africa, and the times were all off, so she's going to join the next one. Thank you for pointing that out.

The plan is to hold this every three months. So if you want to do the meditation resolution again in April, you can do it again and restart. If you have any friends who might want to do it, it's kind of like an initiation I'm holding for one month every three months. I think that's a nice frequency.

And yeah, there'll also be an evergreen version of the recordings. I'm going to make that available if anybody wants to just do it with the evergreen.

Alright, so… hmm…

A Special Announcement

I have something very special to share with everybody. It's half a personal announcement and half a very relevant announcement to what's going on here.

One of the challenges I've faced over the years was integrating mathematics and meditation, mathematics and spirituality. People didn't really get it.

You're probably thinking, oh, it's still kind of hard to get, because our society says math is like this, and it's not interesting or spiritual at all, the way you learn it in school, right?

So, I've created a context that will help everybody see a few things. One, how you can integrate those, and how it may make sense for you. Like, Andrea, remember we were talking about this in December? You said, "Help me make sense of it." So you're about to see it!

I've worked really hard on this, guys. In fact, I need to have a good night's sleep tonight, now that I finally got everything up and ready to be shown.

It also holds a greater context, so if you want to participate and be supported in your practice moving forward, there's a whole beautiful context for you to step into, at your own interest and at your own time. So here it is!

Also, this is like ten years in the making, and you guys—nobody knows about this yet, except for my mom, who I told a couple hours ago. So you guys are the first ones to know, and I'm really excited to share it with you. I'll tell everybody else soon.

Oh, I'm kind of like… butterflies. Alright.

Cole Prawer: Very excited to see this.

Adam Wes: Oh, Cole, yes, Cole, think about all the years I've known you—it's been, like, nine years. So, Cole, this is basically what I've been creating for nine years, essentially since you met me.

The School of Futuristic Intelligence

I've created a school here that—well, maybe you'll want to read through this in your own time, because it's quite a bit—but it's essentially about cultivating essence, abstraction, and form.

It describes the futuristic human being, which is really what it's all about. It's not about being a super math geek or a super deep spiritual person; it's about being a holistically cultivated human being, refined in all these futuristic ways. Basically, it's about the potential of a human being.

So, I guess I'll let you read it, but this is what it is. You can pull it up on your page—it's at theheartofmathematics.com, that's the new homepage now.

It includes coding, and if you're interested in exploring enrollment, there's a form here. You can look at the different ways you might want to enroll. It's a three-part form. I'd love to see how you guys fill that out and what your interests and focus are.

If I look at the top here, we've got spirituality, love, light, Samga, Practice All, the mathematics programs, and the coding programs. I've also got private mentorship.

Yeah, that's the whole thing. All of it is mixed together in the form of a school.

Kira, what do you think? Are you there?

kira: I was making, like, a lot of long hand motions.

Adam Wes: Oh.

kira: This is so exciting, oh my gosh.

Adam Wes: Kira has seen me work on this for a long time. So if you read, like, "What is a futuristic world"—in fact, maybe I'll read this. I'll read this, and then we'll get on, because we've got to do a 30-minute meditation together today.

A Vision for a Futuristic World

So, a futuristic world includes all the marvels of technology and our capacity to realize every material wish. But it also includes the subjective capacity to be present with those blessings—in bliss and love, in the highest spiritual consciousness.

Without that state of mind and spirit, we miss the opportunity to truly revel in form.

Furthermore, it includes the wisdom to guide and direct these powers honorably, with love and service to all, and the comprehension and ingenuity to build our technology so that we may command the material world.

Ultimately, we aspire to the fullest expression of life in form and the deepest capacity of consciousness and spirit, so that we may share in the most profound beauty and the most magical moments together in love.

This is what I dream of—for us to have beautiful moments together, out there on the Bolivian salt flats under the stars, meditating with samadhi and consciousness, supported in our lives by technology and adventure, and cared for by the power of technology.

The program is to cultivate mind, body, spirit, and heart—all of it, really. I haven't included the body part as much yet. Basically, it's a cohesive school for all the programs, and you can really see how they fit together.

It's been inevitable. This has really been what has been going on, but now I've made it very explicit.

I like this little module here if you want to take a look at it another time—Full Spectrum Multidimensional Intelligence. Intellectual, mathematical, scientific, interpersonal, self-command, stillness, psychic, wisdom, cleanliness—all these different aspects of cultivation form a basis, or a—well, that's a math term—a basis for excellence and awakening.

So, there you go. If you have any questions about this, let me know.

I want to read these comments here. Thank you, Harrison. Thank you, David.

Introduction to Crystals

Adam Wes: Alright. So you're the first ones that got to see it. And thanks for—thanks, Kira.

Alright, so let's have a beautiful—SFI, School of Futuristic Intelligence.

Alright. So, today—oh! One more thing, I want to give you a little nugget. It probably would have been fun to buy these for you guys, but they're actually quite cheap, so I want you to buy these yourself.

To support you on your journey, your spiritual journey, you'll need a few special keys, a few special—it's like Lord of the Rings. Go off and be supported with a little bit of magic. So, here's some magic for you.

First of all, selenite. I don't know what I would do without my selenite.

You've got it already, Andrea? Nice.

I honestly need this stuff. I use it to pull on my chakras, and just holding it—what it does, it's quite affordable. Like, this big piece right here is, I don't know, $10?

So, it's purification. When you go into the world, you pick up all kinds of astral energies. This purifies you. It protects you through purification. Think of it as an astral shower. It washes you clean. So I highly recommend you get even just a little piece. This is a big piece, actually. I have…

These are my giant pieces that I always keep with me. Look how big they are. They're amazing, and I know how to use them to protect myself. You can get a little piece of that.

The next thing I recommend is—it's kind of like selenite's cousin—black tourmaline. This protects you in a different way. It absorbs negativity.

Yeah, exactly. Lightsabers. This absorbs negativity. When you hold it, it almost feels like it's sucking all the negativity into it. The black absorbs, right? And you can feel that. It's very different than the selenite.

It's a little more expensive, but you don't need a big piece like this. You can get a tiny piece of any of these.

Part of the reason I wanted to share this with you is so you can take the tiny piece and let it remind you of our time together. Let it be memorabilia, right? So you can say, "Oh, I meditated for 31 days," and this reminds you. You put it on your counter, and if you have a week where you don't get to it—which hopefully will never happen—then you can remember. It's a little physical reminder.

Alright, and the third one…

Could be a number of things, but I felt like the most important is this: pink quartz. Rose Quartz. Rose Quartz is a gentle hug. It's love, it's gentleness, it's support.

In a harsh world, where maybe you'll be alone without sangha—or maybe you'll have sangha, and you'll be out there alone for a moment—either way, Rose Quartz soothes. It's a heart-centered stone.

So, these three…

I recommend you go to a crystal shop. They'll have little, cheap ones you can get, or you can go all out. I mean, you can get a giant one of these—they're pretty cool. Or a giant rose quartz, have it be the centerpiece in your beautiful house.

Alright.

Do you guys like those crystals?

Nice.

Crystal Names and Descriptions

David Parra: Can you… can you name them again?

Adam Wes: Yeah, this is selenite.

David Parra: Perhaps if you're…

Adam Wes: With an S.

David Parra: Thank you. Thank you, Kirk. Selenite?

Adam Wes: This is black tourmaline. Black Tourmaline. And this is Rose Quartz.

Cool. Alrighty.

AriellaShira Lewis: What do you do with them, Adam?

Adam Wes: Well… If you just—so there's a number of things you can do. One, you can just look at it, but don't just look with your eyes. Feel its presence. Feel its structure, feel its nature, feel its knowledge.

This is a possibility of manifestation. It is an embodied possibility. And when you focus on it, what you focus on, you become. You will feel more like it.

If you were to go and look at a palm tree for five hours, you'd start to feel like a palm tree, right? If you look at it just for a glance, if you're good at empathic connection, you'll feel like a palm tree immediately. So, when you focus on it, you'll feel that.

Another thing you can do is feel your qi into it. Put your kundalini into it. One thing that I like to do is, from my heart chakra, I kind of pull and clear around.

You can just play around with your own intuitive way of connecting with your astral body. All three of them—you can essentially do that, although selenite is a little bit better for the swinging. But I do that with all kinds of things.

Like, you could take this one and just move it around, or put it on your head. Put it on your body, on your heart, on your third eye. You have to learn and develop a relationship with it. These guys—I know them quite well. They're my friends.

Look what Kira has. Look at that, look at that thing. Quartz is a great one as well. That's a very expensive piece right there. That's probably, like, $500. Maybe more. Yeah, Kira, move it around.

If it's really big like that, you can sleep with them. I've seen people literally sleep on a bed of crystals, all over their sheets. There's all kinds of things you can do. Or you could just keep a couple in your pocket when you go out to an event where there's a lot of random energies. Just keep them in your pocket, and it's a little bit of a protector. It helps hold your inner state in attunement.

Exactly. You know, Superman had—Superman… I mean, this even looks like Superman crystals, right? Watch this.

My brother likes selenite too, and he made a selenite lamp. Isn't that cool? See, watch. And if I go… It's fiber optic.

Ariella's gonna have selenite lamps all over her place. Her husband's gonna be like, "What's going on with this hippie?"

Alright. I like that Mom left.

Hmm, alright.

Crystal Books and Further Exploration

Adam Wes: So let's have a meditation today. Let's perhaps do—any, any… Nice, Kira. Oh, that's black tourmaline? Nice.

And by the way, there are so many crystals out there. I've got this wonderful book.

This is an incredible book. It literally goes through every crystal and describes the energy of each one. It's very accurate—an excellent book. One of my favorites.

It's called The Book of Stones.

By Robert Simmons.

And Naisha. I always forget her name, but Robert and Aisha. Alright.

Meditation Transition

Alright, let's do a meditation! So, it's 6:31. We can do a 35-minute, or maybe even a 40-minute meditation, and then we'll be done at 7:15.

And I will say farewell, and I'll see some of you again soon, and some of you whenever.

Opening and Meditation Preparation

Adam Wes: So, any requests for the meditation we do today? Any favorites? Harrison, you…

Harrison: I was about to say, yeah, the last one we did was superb.

Adam Wes: I was feeling that you guys felt that. Alright, yes. Let's do an absorption, okay? So, how do we do absorption? Let me just remind everybody.

Adam Wes: There's a sense that you're not the doer. You're letting go, letting the universe carry you away, dissolve you.

Adam Wes: It's not about controlling my mind or channeling my energy. You're letting the inner power—there's an ambient power inside us that wants to destroy, or it breaks apart so it can be renewed in every moment.

Adam Wes: A better word, actually, is you feel absorbed in spirit.

Adam Wes: So, become absorbed. Be absorbed in the spirit. Be absorbed in the essence.

Adam Wes: Alright, let me pick a nice song for this. I will DJ.

Adam Wes: I'm a meditation DJ, just so you guys know. I need to figure out a way to change the music without using my hands, because I feel in each moment what the next song should be. Alright.

Adam Wes: Meditation DJ TM.

Adam Wes: Kira? Nevermind.

Adam Wes: Oh, Cole, you're gonna have to head out?

Cole P: Yeah, I do, but thank you so much, Adam.

Adam Wes: Yeah.

Cole P: Really great.

Adam Wes: Yeah, it's been wonderful having you, Cole. Good job. Thanks for being here. Thank you. Everybody say bye to Cole. Bye, Cole! Wait, Cole, before you go, can we do a quick photo of everybody?

Cole P: Oh, yeah.

Adam Wes: Okay, is that okay? Quick photo. This time, let's do something better—we all did something awkward last time.

Adam Wes: Alright.

Adam Wes: So, I don't know. Oh, let me put the timer on so I don't—

kira: Can you say when you're gonna take the photo?

Adam Wes: Yeah, okay.

kira: Get votes for it, I'm like…

Adam Wes: Get ready.

kira: Five. Thor.

Adam Wes: 3… 2… 1… Alright, let's do one more.

Adam Wes: Did something else.

Adam Wes: Alright. Nice smile, Ariella, I like that. That's a nice smile.

Adam Wes: 4, 3, 2… Okay. Wonderful, that was so sweet! Alright, guys. Alright, Cole, thank you, good job!

Cole P: Bye! Have a good meditation, guys.

Adam Wes: Thank you.

Meditation Guidance

Adam Wes: Alright, let's get started. Can you hear the music? Yeah.

Adam Wes: Hmm…

Adam Wes: So start to bring attention to your body. Bring vitality to your whole form. We have to build that energy that's going to be our absorption.

Adam Wes: A few preliminary steps for absorption: start turning your attention to existence, to the now, to what is.

Adam Wes: Bring your whole body into light. Feel the vitality throughout your whole physical form—the luminosity. Invoke it.

Adam Wes: Begin to soften. Soften yourself in any ways that you're resisting.

Adam Wes: The nervous system, the aura, suddenly and subtly recoils. Let those resistances go.

Adam Wes: Now, with the heart radiating and full, you can really step into being absorbed. Allow yourself to be carried away into the unknown. Be absorbed.

Adam Wes: There's an ambient power within us. Become that power. Become the dissolution inherent in that power. Allow yourself to be carried by it.

Adam Wes: Block on us. Time's it up. Suffer all of its lives. How can you imagine alone to be with her?

Adam Wes: I'm bringing attention to the moment, the expanse of the now, the everlasting, eternal.

Adam Wes: Ball. Transformations.

Adam Wes: Bring attention to your heart. Feel gratitude.

Adam Wes: Namaste.

Reflections and Sharing

Adam Wes: Ugh, alright. That's a really quick share. Maybe just—

Adam Wes: Praveen, would you like to share?

Colleen: Me?

Adam Wes: Praveen.

Praveen S: Adam, thank you, first of all. Over the past month, we've been meditating, and what I've realized is that I'm still far from the ideal I’d like to reach. So… it's a—

Yeah.

So, I mean, I know I need to bring in more discipline and focus, Adam, but I really appreciate your work in creating this space where we’re able to meditate together. There's something—

Very different about joining the group rather than meditating alone. So, thanks for that, and thanks for your encouragement, support, and inspiration. It's been a privilege for me.

Adam Wes: It's been so wonderful having you here. Thank you for bringing all your beautiful sincerity, your energy, and just who you are. It's really been great, and your consistency.

Praveen S: Thank you.

Adam Wes: Namaste, Praveen. Wonderful. How about you, David? Yay, David!

David P: I want to tell Praveen that you look happier. One month later.

Adam Wes: Yeah, he does.

Praveen S: Thank you, thank you, Dewey.

David P: Yeah. So, I think something happened.

Adam Wes: That is—

Praveen S: Man. Fantastic.

David P: Yeah, yeah.

Adam Wes: Behold with its works. Mmm.

David P: Yeah, DJ… DJ Adam. I would like to know the tracks, because today was awesome.

Adam Wes: Oh, thanks for that feedback.

David P: Yeah.

Adam Wes: Nice.

David P: I just traveled… I could hear their heart, light, absorption. I mean, I went everywhere. And music was really part of it. I was—

Adam Wes: I was just flowing with it.

David P: So, if you could really… if you could share—

Adam Wes: I will, I will. It'll be in the practice room. I'll put it on there. The playlist is in the practice room, but I'll add this exact sequence from tonight at the end of it.

David P: And just one last comment. When you said, merging to the light—I did it. I was able to, without much further thinking, and this is the first time I could connect. And then I realized I was connected, so I just disconnected. But I rarely connected with it.

Reflections on the Light

Adam Wes: It's one of those things… sometimes when we see the light, we get excited, and then I’m like, you gotta play it cool, man, because the light—if you’re not playing it cool, the light’s just going to get all egoic and walk away from you. Not a cook, I guess you get a cook. So… I get it going. Or I do, or, you know, any of us. Yeah, no, you’re wonderful, David. Thank you for sharing.

David: Ridiculous.

Adam Wes: You know, David and I have had so much great time together since the beginning of summer, so it’s been awesome spending time with you. Thank you.

David: Nothing.

Adam Wes: Yeah.

David: Thank you.

Adam Wes: How about you, Mom?

Colleen: I agree, the music was perfect, and I also was in different places while this was happening. And something interesting today—the light usually goes like this for me, almost like breath, usually two colors. Today, it did that, but it also had… a red…

Almost like your… your stick, your—pick it up, the whack one. Almost like that, in front of me, but raised. Right.

Adam Wes: Oh. Going up, or going down, or both?

Colleen: Spilled.

Adam Wes: Oh, cool! Nice.

Colleen: I really enjoyed it, Trina. Thank you.

Adam Wes: And your colors?

Colleen: Well, purple and green, and some purple, green, and a sort of deep pink, but then there’s red.

Adam Wes: Oh, wonderful. You see so much color, it’s amazing.

Colleen: I don’t get this.

Adam Wes: Much variety in my… I always look in the gold. I want to see colors more, that’s wonderful. You’re welcome, Mom. Namaste. Thank you for being here.

Adam Wes: How about you, Ariella? And we’ll wrap up very shortly.

AriellaShira Lewis: Yes, thank you for tonight. I mean, thank you for the whole month.

Adam Wes: Yeah.

AriellaShira Lewis: You’re welcome.

Adam Wes: Good job. You did it!

AriellaShira Lewis: Yes! I’ve never done this before, meditating every day, so this has been such a blessing, thank you.

Adam Wes: And you can keep it at 15 minutes, that’s totally fine if that feels right for you, but you might get bored. You might want to go longer.

Nope.

AriellaShira Lewis: What I’ve been doing in the morning is, as the sun rises, I close my eyes, but I merge with the sun. And then go from the sun of our solar system to the sun of our galaxy, to the great central sun of our universe, and just in this incredibly expansive way. Beautiful.

And then tonight, when you said merge with the light, I was able to have that experience again.

Adam Wes: Wonderful.

AriellaShira Lewis: Without the sun being there.

Adam Wes: That’s a good technique, the expanding scopes. All the way to that size.

AriellaShira Lewis: Yes.

Adam Wes: Yeah, very good. Wonderful. I love that you do that. Well, namaste. Good job this month. Yay! 31 days! How about you, Andrea? Andrea!

Andrea P.: Yeah, I had an interesting experience.

Adam Wes: Yeah?

Andrea P.: I felt like every… like, my cells were expanding, so I felt like… it was weird. Like, all my body, but I really felt it, like… tingly in my feet and my hands, like… fat.

Adam Wes: Wonderful. So you got the charge going, the kundalini all over. Remember in the beginning when I said bring your whole body into vitality? What you’re talking about? Like, your body should feel… yeah, go ahead.

Andrea P.: Yeah, yeah, I felt that. I didn’t know what I was feeling, but now that you said it, yeah, it was that.

Adam Wes: So, now that you can feel your hands like that, you’ll get really used to it. Try to keep your body like this all the time.

Feel your hands? Okay, they’re nice and charged. You can feel it—it’s very different, charged hands. And you think, okay, well, my heart needs to be charged most of all. Then you charge your third eye.

A crown… oh, I need my crown charged. If my crown’s not charged, I feel short. You gotta have a tall—gotta be eight feet tall with your crown.

Adam Wes: And then, you know, feel your root chakra, your navel center—all of them. Especially focus on your hands and feet. Very, very good, yeah.

Andrea P.: Yeah, it was weird. But yeah, and thank you for the…

The 31 resolution—I think it was the perfect way to start the year.

Adam Wes: Wonderful. Well, thank you for the idea. Just so everybody knows, Andrea suggested it! Hey, Andrea! That was great. She literally—how did I do? Did I do a good version of it, from what you initially envisioned? She knows somebody who's done it before.

Andrea P.: Yes. Perfect. Yeah, like Praveen said…

Adam Wes: Oh no, now we're losing her.

Andrea P.: It's so much easier to… I will miss you! I will miss every day. Oh, my internet is terrible.

Adam Wes: What did you want to say? I asked you if I did a good job or something, and then it cut out.

Andrea P.: Yeah, sorry, my internet's really bad. No, it was perfect, it was really good, and I was saying that I will miss this.

Adam Wes: Oh, yes. Yeah, it's going to be weird tomorrow. So, keep doing your 5:30s if you want to change the time.

Andrea P.: You can do it, but…

Adam Wes: Consistency is key, right? So it's like, whoa, it's 5:30. If you're not doing it, it's like you're not eating dinner, or not going to sleep. It's part of your life, so you can change it mindfully. Well, Andrea, thank you. Good job. Namaste.

Andrea P.: Thank you. How about you, Harrison? You're welcome.

Adam Wes: I love the energy Harrison brings, it's so great. This is positive, inspired, creative. And that's a cool necklace, too.

Harrison: Thank you, thank you.

Adam Wes: Good.

Harrison: Yeah, I think… Firstly, I just want to say thank you to everyone for being a part of this journey, and particularly thank you to Adam. I'm sure everyone feels it, but I just feel beyond grateful to be here, and I fully appreciate—

The power of the mind, and… I believe that our mind is the gold, and this kind of wisdom has the absolute potential to not only change your life, but…

It all starts with us, as Adam has said. I highly recommend anyone to read A New Earth by Eckhart Tolle, if they haven't already. I know it's on the list.

Reflections on the Practice

Adam Wes: Good book.

Harrison: It's a great book, and it does talk about this. I feel this deep within me, and I think, yeah, as an artist, this is priceless because this directly correlates to my practice. Everything for this past month has directly fed straight into my work, which I hope to—

Yeah, use on my mission of spreading love, trust, and respect around the world. What I went through just then was so beautiful, I can't really put it into words, but I'm just grateful.

To be able to take this gift and put it into an art form to help communicate this to other people.

Adam Wes: Yeah, sincerely, sincerely grateful, and I'm looking forward to more time with you, Adam.

Yeah, as with you, Harrison, it's been so amazing having you here, thank you. And I'm just remembering your beautiful poem. Can I post that somewhere?

Harrison: Absolutely.

Adam Wes: Yeah, he wrote—

Harrison: Absolutely.

Adam Wes: Amazing poem, it was so beautiful. Well, namaste, Harrison, thank you for being here.

Harrison: Mr.

Adam Wes: Yep. Roshna… Thanks for waiting! And then Kira, and then we'll go.

Rachna S: Yeah, today was much better than the other days, I would say. It was very light, you know, I did not have control of myself, that is what I felt. It was often that I had to come back.

And yeah, today was the first time I saw multiple colors. It was not only white, it was multiple colors—pink, green, and fantastic. It was really good, and energy throughout the body.

I am actually practicing it in the morning also, around 7AM, for 15 minutes again, since we started. So I think I did not miss even a single day, morning and evening.

Adam Wes: Perfect.

Rachna S: I hope I continue this. I will really miss it, because as I said, I wanted to continue this practice. It's really helped me reduce my anxiety, have a bit of control on my claustrophobia.

And yeah, I have felt relaxed, even in between my work time. If there were certain times when it felt really loaded, really heavy, I used to just take a bit of time off. The playlist that you shared, I used to listen to it. So things have calmed down.

I'm trying to use all these things that you have shared in this month. Hopefully, it'll help me better myself.

I'm already experiencing it, so thank you. Thanks for having this session, and thanks to everybody for being here every day. As everyone said, I will really miss it. So tomorrow evening, my 8:30 will be something that I'll have to do by myself.

On it, and I'll do so.

Adam Wes: Oh, wonderful. Good job! Thank you. You know, it's a big deal to see the light. It's a big deal.

Rachna S: Yes.

Adam Wes: It's a...

Rachna S: And I felt it today, so...

Adam Wes: Beautiful. And you know, the pink and the green are both heart-centered light. Green is the heart-centered color, and pink is love too. If you look at the color wheel, pink and green are opposites, so they go together.

Rachna S: Yeah.

Adam Wes: Yeah, just like blue and gold. So...

Wonderful, wonderful. Good job! Yeah, it's been so wonderful having you here, and I'm just so glad you found this, and we found you. Thank you for everything.

Rachna S: Yes.

Adam Wes: You've brought your sincerity, and remember, we do the Tuesday night every week, so...

Rachna S: Yes, definitely. So we'll see you next week.

Adam Wes: Namaste.

Rachna S: Yeah.

Adam Wes: I'm gonna stay right there. Kira, last but not least...

kira: Wow, Adam, thank you so much for putting so much love and wisdom and intentionality in gathering all of us. This was really special! I feel close to all of you!

Adam Wes: Aww.

kira: It's just really sweet, everybody. We're all in different places, but just coming here every day and being with all of you has been so, so special. I'm a little in tears.

Adam Wes: Oh, that's so sweet.

kira: Yeah, I'm so grateful for everybody and for you, Adam.

Adam Wes: Thank you, grateful for you. And you had a good meditation?

kira: Oh, yeah. If I look at it overall, I feel a lot more free than when we first started.

Adam Wes: Wonderful.

kira: There's just something that has lifted.

Adam Wes: Yeah.

kira: You know? I feel that, I actually sense something. You're...

Adam Wes: You're deepening...

kira: Something that... yeah. Maybe something limiting, or something like that.

Adam Wes: Wonderful. And you're doing more creative work, too?

kira: Definitely, yeah. My creativity has increased for sure this past month, and that could be very correlated.

Adam Wes: Well, I love it. You and Harrison should connect. You guys should all connect. I don't know, if anybody wants to reach out to anybody, just...

kira: Good.

Adam Wes: Let me know, and I'll be the matchmaker. The DJ. And the computer programmer! Okay. Web developer. Well, good job. Good job, Kira, wonderful. Thank you for being here, and thank you, everybody. I'm just so grateful for all of you.

Looking Ahead

For those of you who want to continue, we're building something. Andrea said something fun—she said, let's have 100 people by the end of the year. I think...

I really want to... the bigger the community gets, the more friends we have, the more I can really have a lot more peace and space to give more, and not be distracted by money, or limited ability to advertise, and things like that.

And more of my own practice. I'd love to sit and meditate for 5 hours a day, and then I can bring all of that to our hour and a half session at the end of the day, you know, hour and 15, so...

As we grow, we can do that and refine it. So take a look at the school's website. Yeah, please go and look at the school and let me know what you think. I worked so hard on that, it's crazy.

kira: What has this been like for you?

Reflections on Practice and Community

Adam Wes: Aww. This has been really special. Holding something with such consistency has really strengthened my will and my impeccability. Being with Sangha has been really special. I don't feel as isolated in my practice and in my community, so I've got more spiritual friends. Being there for each of you is really special.

Adam Wes: You know, in Bhakti, one of the gifts in life is to make it about others, to make others a center, to get over yourself and focus on somebody else for a minute. This is a really great way to overcome all the challenges of being a human being—make it about another, make another the center.

Adam Wes: So, that's part of my practice. Ankara, you're so sweet. My practice is to do that, and I got to formally practice caring about you, Rashna, caring about you, Praveen, caring about you, Andrea, caring about you, Harrison. That's one of the wonderful things about being a teacher. You get to give, and it gets to be my job to give. Then I get to feel warmth, and love, and heart, and free from my own self-centeredness to a better degree.

Adam Wes: So yeah, thank you, everybody. Thanks for joining and participating and seeing what I've offered, and most of all, thank you to my mom.

Adam Wes: Yay, Colleen, the best mom ever! So glad you were here, Mom, thank you for being here to watch this session and be part of it.

Adam Wes: Alright guys. Well, namaste, everybody. I'll see you soon. Feel free to write me an email, or see you next week, or something. Bye!

Transitions

Harrison: Adam?

David P: Anyways… Ciao.
