Becoming Super

So, You Want to Grow?

This is not a list of self-help books, manifestation techniques, nootropics, fasting protocols, diets, or exercise routines that will "fix" you. In fact, forget that approach altogether.

Dear friend, if we are to grow, we must first recognize the vast, uncharted space from which all true growth arises.

This space exists within each of us. It speaks in whispers—whispers we’ve ignored, dismissed, or drowned out for far too long. Growth does not come from chasing something outside ourselves. Don’t take my word for it. Let this moment be your wall—the one that redirects you inward.

I’ll offer a shortcut, though I don’t usually believe in them. Consider it a sip of insight for the road, in case this is as far as you choose to travel with me: when we approach the unknown with reverence, it meets us halfway, like an old friend returning home from a long Odyssey.

But before we continue, we must confront the foundation of this inner expanse: consciousness.

For many, consciousness is reduced to intellect or awareness. But consciousness is so much more. It is the essence behind all experience, the invisible fabric of our lives. It forms and endures every sensation, thought, and connection. It weaves the finite with the infinite, revealing that creation, being, and knowing are one.

Western science is beginning to glimpse this truth, and its clarity will only deepen in time. Yet the spirit of my words is not one of proof. It is an invitation—a call to meet this moment with an open mind and a willing heart.

In this state, your perspective expands, and the infinite penetrates the sprout of mind you’ve nurtured until now.

The Seed and the Light

Picture a seed breaking through the soil for the first time. In that moment, it stops struggling in the dark and flows toward the light.

The sun does not force the seed to grow—it simply does it’s job: illuminating the next step in the seeds evolution, awakening a potential that was always within it.

Growth happens naturally, not through force. The seed stretches into the inevitability of its nature. In the light, it begins its quiet “chloro-fill-ing,” finding a fulfillment it never knew to seek.

We are no different. Like the seed, we cannot rush our own expansion.

Now, to grow properly, we must embrace love and understanding. Expansion without love is experienced as growing pains, and love without growth is imprisonment.

This morning, I relearned this truth by surrendering to my own nature. For so long, I’ve fought to force my potential into being, spilling my energy like a seed clawing at the soil. Surely, this cannot be the way.

And so, I reflect on childhood memories—clues to my future scattered like breadcrumbs.

Superman’s Struggle

As a child, I was captivated by superheroes. I sketched figures with powers beyond human reach and begged my dad to rename me “The Terminator” (let’s nod to my early disposition). Yet, my highest admiration always returned to Superman.

Now, I see the paradox of his power. Superman, the fully realized potential of Clark Kent, was bound to saving the world. His mortal self seemed irrelevant against his superhuman obligations. And yet, despite his strength, his struggles mirrored ours. Superman was not “super-mind.” He faced the same internal battles, the same cycles of force and resistance.

Even Superman met his fate.

So, what does today’s superhero look like? Is it the mystic who performs miracles? The super-abundant figure who manifests endlessly? Or is the very notion of a superhero flawed?

The word “super” means “above.” And here lies a hidden truth—one that redefines our understanding of power.

True heroism lies not in force, but in choosing harmony. It resides beyond striving, in alignment with the natural law. The Greeks called this law Nous, the cosmic database of all things. From this wellspring, we draw the essence of our being: endless, boundless, and always enough.

Beyond the Battle

Perhaps my striving has been senseless—the long hours, the endless pushing. There must be another way.

How does one become great? By ceasing the struggle to become.

The seed never tries to tree. The tree never tries to fruit. Neither questions its trajectory.

To live authentically, in harmony with inner nature, is to surrender to the greatest force of all: the eternal cycles. These cycles guide all life and hold within them the wisdom of the infinite.

You are part of this wisdom. You are this wisdom, living one seed’s journey at a time.

When we accept that our essence—our logos—is inherently whole, we retire from the battle for superiority. We can rejoice in our path, wherever it finds us—head in the grass, heart to the sky.

It is here, in surrender, that we transcend.

We transcend the endless fight for power, expansion, or perfection. We grow because it is our nature to grow—not because we force it.

And we come to love the law of life. Not for its grandeur, but for its simplicity. For all it has endured to teach us this:

To live is to be super.
