This is the piece that helped me form the question of whether or not we can save an article to read later. Turns out, we can :)

This is one of my favorite articles of yours Jade. I can identify different times in my life where I’ve been the the striver, the soother and the seeker-in that order. And always with an undercurrent of discontent from the misalignment. My time in NLH has been so healing for me. Thank you!

Couldn't agree more, Jade; your precise articulation of 'Essentia' as the fundemental alignment between one's intrinsic being and practical existence is a profoundly important and often overlooked insight, realy a testament to your thoughtful analysis.

I can look back on my life and see the many different times I've used striving, seeking, and soothing to try and change my life.

The pushing or avoiding.

How after a time I'd be back to aligning with the M.U.D. because as within so without.

It wasn't until I released the M.U.D. that I truly found the alignment I didn't even know I was seeking.

Beautiful piece, Jade. It feels good to reflect on the journey.

I can look back at my 58 years and see each of these ways of living. Being present and in alignment is optimal and where I spend most of my time now. It’s part of being human. No judgement of self or others, just awareness. Thanks for spelling it out this way. Very relatable.

Of course… no judgment. We are all just here to learn. This piece is for those who want to go deeper

Didn’t mean to imply you were being judgmental. Just reminding everyone that we are human and not to be so hard on ourselves.

Yes, Thank you

You can follow every protocol in the world, but if your life is built on self-betrayal, the body loses its charge. Alignment restores what optimization never can.

I resonate with the idea of alignment over endless routines.

In content creation, I’ve seen consistency and clarity transform chaos into meaningful output. Using systems like My Accountability Partner helps keep actions in tune with intentions.

How do you personally ensure your daily choices reflect your deeper purpose?

I love this.... I have been all three for sure, and lately, I have been feeling more and more aligned.. and its coming slowly because I've been distracted, but it feels good. There's a shift and I love it.

What wonderful insights you share here, Dr. Teta. Your words and wisdom have always been encouraging to me. Glad to find you here. True alignment transforms a life. It is a journey each of us can make. It helps to be in the company of others who understand that alignment is an individual fit, not a group think thing. ⭐️ Thankful for your work.
