This is my answer for the bi-weekly @tribesteemup community question. The tribe was created by @kennyskitchen and serves as a support for conscious content creators who bring love and light into the world.
From Anarchapulco To TribeSteemUp
In January 2018 I was attending the #Anarchapulco conference (or rather festival). Thanks to an all-time-high in the crypto market and my continous efforts on the Steem blockchain I was able to fly to Mexico from Costa Rica and even send my dad over from the UK. I expected a crypto conference with some cool perks but instead I got a make-over for my entire life.
The people I have met there have changed my life from the moment we laid eyes upon each other. Kenny was one of the first who I met on the day before the actual event started and many others over the following days. The experience was so intense that I decided that I want to surround myself entirely with this kind of energy that I felt there.
Shortly after Anarchapulco I was invited into the TribeSteemUp community and my wish came true. All the wonderful independent media journalists like Luke Rudowski from @lukewearechange, Dan Dicks from @pressfortruth, Josh Sigurdson from World Alternative Media aka @joshsigurdson and of course the organizer of Anarchapulco @dollarvigilante aka @jeffberwick himself were already members there. And the majority of people I have met in Mexico were also on Steemit and members of the tribe.
TribeSteemUp Is Changing Me
So at first it was merely a form of association and dominating my attention to topics like independent media, plant medicine and esoteric teachings. But quickly I realized that the TSU members create a massive amount of love and light every single day. I have unfollowed most people outside of the tribe to concentrate entirely on the messages I want in my life. And TSU is delivering around the clock.
I have started to pay more attention to my own behaviours and how I create my own reality with my thoughts. I was already relatively good at that all my life but on a rather subconscious level. TSU has helped me to look my inner demons in the eye and embrace them as part of me - just to let them go bit by bit. I have become friendlier, calmer and more optimistic then before. My life has improved drastically and my Steem experience has blown up thanks to the constant support of the tribe.
Consciousness, Tree of Life and Service To Others
TribeSteemUp is a consciousness accelerator for me. It has not changed my path but it has helped me to walk it firm and in peace. I think I still have a life full of unlearning and deprogramming in front of me. I am just returning from a family holiday where all the shit of my lifetime took over my ego and made me act like a lunatic (I guess I should dedicate a post about that). But I also realize the lesson and symbology behind that which is a massive improvement to my previous state of mind.
TribeSteemUp is my personal Tree of Life for ascension and has made me less selfish and care more for others outside of my inner circle. I am actively supporting now people that spread messages which I support and I am getting rewarded for that as well. I feel a responsibility myself to spread love and light more than ever before in my life. But the most important message for me is to look inside myself and try to become a better person. We live in a time where hatred and division is being instigated by the governments around the world in order to put us into mind cages. Not with me: I am breaking out of my cage.
Finally, TribeSteemUp has taught me to be at service to others. I want to dedicate my life to enable and empower others. I strongly believe that this is why we are here in this world. It is also an esoteric concept and has to do with universal truth and how we become the creators of our creatrix. Co-creating our universe in harmony and balance is a key element of the tribe and massive driver for myself. This is why all I do with the 1UP SMT project is dedicated to this goal and I hope that I can make many great souls thrive and create the chain reaction we need to open our hearts to the creative power of love.
P.S. If you are planning to come to #Anarchapulco 2019 please get in contact with me as I am planning to do a 1UP party before the event for friends and tribe members.
