There's a question I have asked myself countless times over the past thirty years: Why does any of this matter? Why build spiritual abilities? Why meditate? Why care about sovereignty when the world is falling apart?

The answer isn't what you might expect. It's not about saving the world. It's not about enlightenment as some distant, unreachable goal. And it's definitely not about becoming special or different from everyone else.

The answer is simpler and more radical than that: The only fight that matters is the one happening inside you.

I was twenty-one, a partner in a bar, and we had a problem with the freezer. I went around back to kill the power so it could be worked on. I grabbed the circuit breaker—the power cut-off on the back of the building—and the current ran through my body.

I felt it. The electricity. The certainty that I was going to die.

And then I heard a voice.

Not outside of me. Inside. Clear as anything I'd ever heard: Not today.

In an instant, I was free. Singed but alive.

This was the third time in my life I'd heard that voice. The third time something—call it God, call it Source, call it my higher self—had intervened. And I realized I couldn't ignore it anymore. Something was real. Something was there.

I started meditating. I joined a spiritual church, a gathering of fellow seekers who weren't interested in dogma or hierarchy, just in connection. And in those early meditations, I felt something I'd never felt before: the true love of God. Not as a concept. Not as a belief. As a presence so overwhelming that every cell in my body resonated with it.

That's when I understood: spiritual abilities aren't luxury items. They're the foundation of everything.

A few months later, still in meditation, I had a vision. I saw a mountain, and around it stood all the people of the world. And I knew—without words, without explanation—that if you gave each person a piece of paper and a pencil and asked them to draw that mountain, no two drawings would be the same.

Different artists. Different angles. Different shadows. Different light.

Yet it was still the same mountain.

In that moment, I understood what God was trying to tell me: Everyone sees me differently. Everyone experiences me differently. But I am still the same.

This vision changed everything. It meant that no one's experience of truth was "right" and no one's was "wrong." It meant that tribalism—the insistence that my mountain is the only real mountain, that my drawing is the only valid one—was the fundamental illusion.

And it meant that spiritual abilities weren't about becoming enlightened in some special way. They were about learning to see the same mountain that everyone else is seeing, just from your own unique angle.

But before that vision, there was another lesson. I was eleven years old at a private Christian school in Texas. A much larger boy—four years older—was picking on another kid. I stepped in. He asked, "What are you going to do about it?" I punched him. He pushed me over, grabbed my feet, and dragged me across the blacktop on my back.

When the adults got involved, I was the one punished. He got off without a reprimand because I threw the first punch.

I was furious. Madder than I'd ever been. I went to my cubicle and I prayed—harder than I'd ever prayed in my life. I prayed with every ounce of intention I had: This boy will not pass another test.

It was January or February. By spring, he stopped passing tests. They were worried he might be held back a grade.

When I learned what had happened, I felt remorse. I admitted what I'd done. And the adults around me treated me like a witch. They made me read scripture about witchcraft.

But here's what I learned: Focused, real prayer has real power. And how we choose to use that power is entirely up to us.

That's not witchcraft. That's the Observer Effect. That's consciousness creating reality. That's what Jesus meant when he said, "Remove all doubt from your minds, and greater things than I have done, so shall you do."

For years, I thought my spiritual abilities were about gaining something—accessing more love, more power, more connection. But the real work wasn't addition. It was subtraction.

It was removing doubt.

And here's what I discovered: That doubt wasn't yours. It was planted.

Tribalism—in churches, schools, families, institutions, media—plants doubt in you from childhood. You're not good enough. You're not smart enough. You're not worthy. You need someone else to tell you what's true. You need someone else to save you. You need to belong to the right tribe.

This doubt is the chains of control. And ego is how tribalism keeps those chains in place.

Your ego isn't your enemy. It's the manifestation of tribalism inside you. It's the voice that says, "I am separate. I am better than. I am less than. I need to defend myself. I need to win."

The Sovereign Soul isn't someone who has transcended the ego. It's someone who has recognized the tribal programming in their ego and chosen to break free from it.

That's the fight. That's the only fight that matters.

You might think: Okay, but why does this matter in 2025? The world is chaotic. Tribalism is everywhere. What difference does my internal revolution make?

Here's why it matters: We are at the threshold of the next evolution of humanity.

This isn't about the world ending. We're eternal beings. Nothing ends. But something transforms. We're moving toward an era where humanity becomes truly interconnected—not just through technology, but through consciousness. An internet of minds. A coherence of souls.

But this evolution doesn't happen through force or conversion or winning arguments. It happens through vibration.

When you remove the doubt that tribalism planted in you, your vibration rises. When you break the chains of ego and step into your Sovereign Soul, your frequency shifts. And that shift doesn't stay contained within you. It radiates outward. It affects everyone around you, whether they know it or not.

You're not responsible for converting anyone. You're not responsible for saving the world. You're only responsible for your own spiritual awakening. But when enough Sovereign Souls reach a critical mass—when enough people have broken their tribal chains and raised their frequency—the tipping point arrives. The planet's energy becomes so high that miracles become commonplace. And people wake up all on their own.

The forces of tribalism want you asleep because asleep people are easy to control. But once you're awake? Once you've removed the doubt and recognized your own divine authority? You become a superconductor of divine energy. Your presence alone raises the vibration of those around you.

This is why it all matters. Not because you need to save anyone. Not because the world is ending. But because the next evolution of humanity depends on people like you choosing to wake up.

The fight isn't external. It's not against tribalism "out there." It's against the tribal programming inside you—the doubt, the fear, the belief that you're separate from Source, the ego that insists you need external authority to tell you what's true.

When you remove that doubt, when you break those chains, when you step into your Sovereign Soul—you become part of the rising. You become part of the "One Us."

And that changes everything.

The journey, not the destination. The frequency, not the form. The internal revolution that collapses the wave of separation and reveals the mountain that was always there.

That's why it matters. That's why you matter.

Reflection: What tribal doubts are still living in your ego? What chains are you ready to break?
