Dedication

There has been, and continues to be, many, many people in my life to exist and take a stand for who I am in this world. From my family, friends, my trainers, coaches and teachers both human and angelic, I exist as I do, as you have guided my journey well.

A special mention to some of the most profound teachers and coaches in my time here; especially my professor Rodrigo Mendes and our entire team at RMBJJ. In addition,
Dr. Gaetano Scuderi, Wald Bloise, Jay Bell, Jeremy
Libiszewski, & Scott Sonnon.

The Yoga lineages I have enjoyed, learned from and the teachers who have poured their hearts into my world, have paved a path well lit for me, in gratitude. Thank you Eileen Muir, Shive Rea, Seane Corn, Mukunda Stiles, & Yoganand Michael Carroll.

Subtle Process from Subtle Places This was inspired some months and even years ago inside a subtle place, and with some delay, I chose to complete this body of work for you, for your journey.

In the subtle places, we know truth. We know love, where it is, where it comes from. Its like the softest moss, the trees havent quite felt yet. And at the same time, its the strength of those very trees, they provide the space for the softness to exist. This is the love that you have all shown me, and in turn, I get to open up to world with.

The roots, the vines of the Earth, take their place and own this space inside Mother. They take hold and belong, they
exist with Mother as if the vines were her, not just part of her, but the very core that makes her who she is.

The love that encircles us, encapsulates us, and takes hold inside of us are these very vines. The vines of our love are the very core of who we are.

They inspire us, they give us the focus and the power, they guide our very being, the thoughts we emerge and share, the dream-space we drift to next to one another in the

depth of night.

These vines are our fuel, our passion, and the space
between the subtle spaces of our souls,
enmeshed into each other.

Amidst the world I see and embody in, the inside world explodes to soften again and again.

I see the landscape inside and the hopes that I humbly rise from the mist lifting from calm.

Adornment and awe inside the witness as I break apart like glass from the swirling up from the comfort of falseness.

The Wolf transmutes into Consciousness through this
vortex, as he hovers over darkened clouds to pull back the maya of illusion, again and again he learns to embrace a softer self, now no stranger, yet, where I sit upon the mountain,
yes, the view is stunning.

I get to watch God turn the dim night to a beautiful dawn, as only through death of self he opens his mortal beings into vessels of his own divinity.

~ Terje, for your love and light, thank you

Where there's discomfort there's fear. In these very tough positions, you're in a little piece of hell. And through this daily suffering, you learn to survive in these situations. You have to find comfort in uncomfortable situations. You have to be able to live your worst nightmare. This trains the mind to build that focus, to increase your awareness, your capacity to solve problems. Sometimes, you don't have to win. You cannot win. But that has nothing to do with losing.
