Before I get into the third entry called pushing
away from the peer, I've been called to share
from my heart a message I know many of you need
to hear. We are indeed living in unique times
and I know at times even taking a full breath
takes effort and trust beyond what you feel you
have available in the moment. But hear me, take
that full breath. Be not in denial of what you
see happening around you and at the same time
be not afraid. I am one who is here to give you
access to the most powerful tools to work on
any job or task put in your life, order, and
change. Now let's carry on and get to today's
entry, pushing away from the peer. Needless to
say, walking away from 25 years in practice as
a successful doctor and being a part of miracles
on a daily basis to then close up a thriving
wellness center that I was guided to create in
a vision 17 years prior was just quite a step
to take. But in reality, I knew it was the only
step to take. You see, I am first and foremost
a student of the practice of living and therefore
the author of the book, The Practice. I always
felt You can only teach what you know and live
by embodying it and being willing to go into
a life experience when called. You are then able
to fully gain the knowledge, wisdom, and enlightenment
needed to share that experience and what you've
learned with others as well. You are then able
to receive the full transformational value of
the experience and what it has to offer in the
moment. Finally, and this is very important,
You also gain a level of compassionate awareness
for what it is to go through what you are teaching
others to consider and eventually go through
themselves. I was always the first guinea pig
in every experiment. and this experiment would
be no different. One of the many gifts of practicing
the practice was being able to use your intuition
to navigate through your life experience and
gain an awareness of the cycle of life and death
that exists within a mortal lifetime. We can
and do live many lives within a single mortal
lifetime. Intuition offers essential awareness
that guides you when to move on from something,
someone, even many times a version of yourself
that just needs to die so that a new version
of you can be born and go forward, accessing
the true power of complete transformation. I
would like to say this all comes about by free
will and personal choices, but when you are really
in sync with higher order, The order creates
the choices you must accept as your own on many
levels or resist and create a bottleneck in your
being. I have been sensing the death of this
doctor lifetime for quite some time. I knew it
was coming. My practice allowed me to embrace
the death of a reality on many levels and not
run from it or avoid it. but go through it, embrace
it, knowing that death is nothing but birth from
the other side of the equation and life is eternal
within the body and outside of it. Based on all
of this, the adventure was much more about being
born into something new than the fear of the
unknown and holding on to who and what. I once
was. I experienced excitement and motivation
to move forward, to be nothing but grateful for
the past life that was shedding off of me, for
all it had been and given me and others in all
the beautiful work I had left behind in the lives
that I had touched. You see, for me, being in
practice as a doctor was always about the practice
of living. It was all about the miracles, not
the money. Sure, I received compensation for
my time and talents, as anyone should, and the
money allowed the Wellness Center that I had
created to exist and serve many people. But all
that being said, it was never what drove me.
What drove me was my commitment and deep love
of the higher order within reality and the infinite
possibilities that could become realities in
people's lives and in life in general if the
order was given a fair shot to exist over higher
levels of chaos. As that beautiful order would
have it, an opportunity came into reality at
just the right time to start an online version
of my wellness center called Heart Healthy Homes
and scale that vision into a virtual reality.
Perfect. Heart Healthy Homes launching in late
2019 allowed me to still pass on the wisdom I
had gained over the years of being a doctor without
the limitations of time and schedule, which were
a part of the bottleneck of my being that I was
facing was limiting me from serving on a larger
scale. Heart Healthy Homes allowed me to support
my family financially and gave me the freedom
to delve deeper into the aspects of reality that
I was being drawn into in order to serve at scale.
Along with the nonprofit, The Practice Heals,
Heart Healthy Homes would be the brother and
sister platforms that would carry on the work
I'd given my life to over the last 25 years.
These two platforms would allow me to contribute
to the holistic health of people, offering products,
practices, and plans while continuing on my journey
into the reasons for the bottleneck of our being.
Discovering these bottlenecks was like being
an explorer, becoming unaware of a fountain of
youth, all the lives that could be improved,
all the miracles that could become possible with
a higher order being able to continue with less
resistance and interruption in people's lives.
All that was left to do was to walk through this
doorway that was now open to me and discover
the pearls of wisdom and insights that would
unlock a greater rate of change, and as a result,
greater potential of our own beings to serve
a higher order. higher purpose, and higher power.
But what does one who goes on this type of adventure
call themselves? Cosmic explorer of consciousness?
Seeker? Sage? Delusional crazy person? Just kidding.
I felt it would be helpful for the journey ahead
if I had a word or words to describe the intention,
represent the motivation, and capture the essence
of what was happening and what I was giving my
old life up to become and hopefully teach or
better yet... just share with others. A doctor
just didn't resonate with this purpose. No position
of authority did. In the end, I settled on my
given first name, just Keith, to start anyway.
I had to laugh because my given first name in
this life is one of the most vanilla names you
can have. One syllable most often heard by others
is Steve, and having to be repeated with a stronger
emphasis on the drowning out even the faintest
vowel sound that really goes against the rule
of I before E except after C, so it's constantly
misspelled. Isn't it just crazy how even my simple
one syllable name goes against the rule? It symbolizes
going against the rules that appear to govern
us. It stands for something legitimate that goes
against the rule and is still correct in doing
so. All divinely chosen by life itself as the
one syllable name that reminds most people my
age anyway of a singer on the show The Partridge
Family, more than anything else. Well... maybe
at least until now. Anyway, back to the recap.
The stripping down and falling away of your old
identities. You never thought you could be anything
without and that you have worked so hard to create
as a part of the process of becoming a true servant.
You know, you must be willing to give up a lower
power to accept a higher power. At the time,
I was only able to see it as a part of what I
called pushing away from the peer. And what I
mean by this phrase is this. Pushing away from
the pier means you are willing to let go of everything
that you're holding onto that keeps you in a
certain space or place. You are willing to push
away from what you think and currently believe
is safe and venture down the river of a new life
experience, exploring a huge ocean of possibility,
not knowing what will happen or when. Now, by
this time in my journey, I was no stranger to
pushing away from the pier. And quite honestly,
I had done it several times throughout my life.
First, when I went to chiropractic college instead
of medical school. Another instance was when
I transformed my traditional chiropractic practice
into a holistic health care practice. And you
know, and it should be noted that this was back
in 1996 when people didn't even know what a holistic
doctor was. Yeah, we were all quacks and witch
doctors and now the Cleveland Clinic calls it
functional medicine. It's funny anyway. But nonetheless,
I had gone through this before and I was quite
practiced at the process at this point. I was
more than willing to go on the adventure yet
again. After closing up the Wellness Center,
my first focus was to get my own life in greater
order. And geez, I finally had time to address
things that I needed to address in my life. I
cannot state the importance of this part of the
process and how I was able to identify several
of my own bottlenecks and beings just in resolving
this past life, which I was unable to do previously
because I was spending so much time helping others
get rid of their bottlenecks, in a funny way,
I was unable to see some of my own. After several
years of cleaning up my past life as a doctor,
yeah, you heard me right, several years and getting
my body and my mind recovered from being a doctor
for 25 years, I was able to see a great deal
more of the river that I was traveling down and
the wide ocean ahead that awaited for me after
the delta of change that led into that ocean.
Traveling out into it and realizing the sheer
size of what was ahead was really a humbling
experience, but one that, through my day -to
-day practice and experience, gave me even more
confidence in my ability to intuitively navigate
and be guided on this amazing journey into the
vast space of reality ahead. I close this entry
with shared wisdom on pushing away from the pure.
Sometimes, old life gets stuck on you like the
shedding skin of a snake. Don't be afraid to
rub against the rocks of change to free it up,
and free yourself from it. It's dead skin, and
it will not serve you any longer. Until next
time, I am Sovereign Soul.
