Just musings, lessons, accomplishments and realizations. I've asked myself why do I go back then forth on being here or anywhere in the community. Yet now I think i've learned from the cycles and it's changed lots within me. What i have to offer isn't what others want to learn. Which goes into the whole students aren't ready for the master and I retired my server that was once open to students. I feel free and less hurt by the double standards, politics, etc.
I know the door here is open to me which I appreciate yet some recent lessons that i've been integrating resulted in me growing more silent. I don't even want to be seen and just not important to me. So as I continue to go on my path as a self procalimed knight and just aknowledge myself moving forward. Don't feel like doing any sort of ritual or self made celebration. I don't even really want to say my rank cause it's not important to me yet just this once as I aknowledge myself with a smile. I feel a resonance ripple from me through the force and a thrum of frequency. It goes out and comes back to me like a wind current that ruffles your hair softly. Powerful, full of love, and it's proud of me. Sees me whispers wisdom to me and how my journey makes me strong. That my story is different so I have my own lessons to overcome.
That it doesn't make me any less and it's proud of me for realizing, learning, integrating those lessons. That you have to learn those yourself and aknoweldge what's inside becuase even if people tell me that it'snot like it makes a lasting difference. It's only a temperary difference that is short lived but when your strong in yourself it's better to be so. I am grateful and thank you force for helping me grow into a stronger me. I'm so happy I got to accomplish my dreams and now I get to have more dreams come true.
I continue to hone myself, my goals, and get my stuff done. Idk how much I'll share because practicing speaking up even if others who hate me isn't my goal anymore. Holding space amidst conflict isn't my goal anymore. I've learned and been able to stand amidst diversity. My direction is changing now and I'm taking time to allow the realizations to come through like they did today when I was conflicted with some choices/emotions/thoughts. There is no place to belong, I seek to hold space for myself and my continued growth. Some people can also support you, hold space, and yet what's more important is you just quietly move around doing your thing in the shadows. Just your friendly shadow fulcum adept.
The hurt from Tragemite thinking otherwise of me no longer exists. I have found joy in my path, my lessons I lean into, and have found a sense of ineternaly accomplishment in my studies as a Sith who studied Jedi. I'm grateful to Justin from axioms of ashla and his wisdom on our talk on Wednesday. Stoked to train and read some of his work.

Intro: From my future self to my present self who has been nominated to be knighted and someday will receive one of the highest honors in service. Chivalry. Cardinal Virtues. Self Development. Self Growth.
Life Lessons
When you no longer feel a need for protection to be included your whole life changes because no one can take away from how you act or who you are.
When you face adversity yet remain gentle, humble, kind, understanding, open, centered in yourself you know you’ve done the work.
When recognition or lack of recognition doesn’t matter anymore amidst naysayers you know you’ve found yourself on a. deep level. That you acknowledge yourself and that alone is good enough.
Short Bio:She was Lady Arashoka who learned to believe in herself, recognize herself, and continue her amazing journey as an empowered being. Through her darkest times she found her light and healed herself through integrating her shadows. She grew strong, centered, and remained herself in a world that sought to change her. She travelled where no human dares to go bravely and even if she fails she continued to achieve multiple victories in her own timing.
She is a force to be reckoned with and is a pioneer who affects multiple generations by just being her. smiles internally She rests, nourishes herself properly, and embraces her voracious never ending appetite for accomplishing her goals. The fire burns bright yet steadily into the day to nights. She isn’t Ashoka Tano yet Lady Arashoka Da’ii Bendu a future Dame who has received many honors in her life. It all started with her and ended with her.
You change the world the by changing what’s inside, most make the mistake of trying to change what’s outside of them or their control.. We are all like snakes shedding our skins and becoming better versions of ourself by doing the great work. You are your own magnum opus yet you have to make that choice by looking inside instead of outside. -Lady Arashoka
Remain soft, go through all the motions, hardening comes from various things just like in martial arts we use breathe meditations to remain relaxed with our muscles whilst walking over painful objects, remain soft yet grounded n firm in oneself. Yet able to also go with the flow and evolve into better self. Light. Unconditional love.
Decalcify the hardening. Embody/integrate the lessons, adjust expectaions, hold the new boudnaries, go forth in light and aetherial grace. Most people become bitter and go to dark palces after being worn down. Heh been there myself.....yet healing is the key. taps pen as she sees the chaos ebb to flow It's like remaining soft so you dun get torn apart by the torrent and even if you do that's cause your shedding. If you dig claws in you lose claws and it hurts. Turns from dirt to rocks.
Submit to it all and know you can make choices in the flow of that torrential energy. I am that energy. It is within me and around me. clicks pen again and observes self we getting there. Been working on it for few years. yawns and walks away Gotta get ready for my gig tonight.
An excerpt i'm proud of myself for saying.
Yeah I have hahaha experienced a lot of that on my path. I got berated a lot and other things but it all made me stronger in the end. I just learned to be myself, hold onto what i'm learning in this path, trust in the force to bring me to the right teachers. I don't really feel dejected anymore and when I hold my saber I just feel myself on my path. I'm me. I trained hard. No one can take away from me. I don't fight to be included anymore and just do my thing happily in my corner. I remain curious and come here each year to learn more because i love it. Over my time I’ve grown lots and no one has to see that. I don’t care to be seen and grown more silent because I don’t need to speak on it. I don’t go to inferior, nor try to prove myself, and so many things I did in past.
I feel more empowered in my own path as a Jedi who also trained as a Sith. I like it and enjoy what I learn here. I do need to go through and hope everyone has a great rest of the evening. It was nice to see everyone. Much love to everyone. MTFBWY.
Shoutout to those who are putting this together. See you guys tomorrow.
-Apprentice Arashoka Da'ii Bendu
Jedi Lessons:
You can't fix the past. Let it be there and stay there. Step away from carrying it.
No one can take away from you except yourself. Only I can put myself against a wall.
Forgive yourself. If you made mistakes it's okay, let it all go.
Amidst double standards, hypocrisy, and more.....learn how to express in a way that benefits if that is what you are called to do.
Being emotionally neglected has lead to some things that i'm working past. Doing major shadow self work and hoping to do better while healing on my past. While also listening to the force and going with it's guidance.
Daily Affirmation:
I'm an amazing Jedi who trained and is still learning. We are always constantly growing and choosing to lean onto the teachings is what helps me on a daily basis.
This song is an ode to a beautiful soul and their the struggle of depression. This song captures the ups to downs. Love you Ja'ai, you were a true warrior goddess women with such an amazing soul.
Heh yeah accurate.
Old paradigm:
why was it imporant for me to be seen, heard, and understood? Well if you don't look like you match the requirements then how can you move anywhere? I wanted to train and be a knight someday. If your speaking your language yet after a few times it just feels like ur going in circles.....it all seems moot. So then I tried extra hard and glad I gave that up a few years ago.
New Paradigm after COJK:
When I wrote up my assignments I just did me and through doing that without worry about how I was seen or if I was being clear enough. I'm awesome and it's okay if people don't understand. That doesn't detract from my growth or possible merit someday to become a Jedi who embraces herself on a deeper level. Heck even if I don't get knighted it's fine, I see myself and that's what matters.
Even if Peter or anyone doesn't see me it's fine. Which Peter does see me but thorugh his own eyes obviously cause he peter and I myself. I don't have to worry about how I am seen and yeah that kinda used to be important. In fact it rubs against a whole 29 yr old shadow self trait cause people would make decisions basedon their understandings of me when they werenm't always accurate. It used to hurt my feelings and sometimes still kinda does or things trigger myself. manages a slight smile while crying internally
Observations Of Shadow:
I feel sad (lose people but also not want hurt people. Feel alone and trying to pull myself together to grow up only at age 6) rejected (abandonment, fear of losing people when i am struggling, try to handle and be good steward of emotions like freemasons talk about), unwanted (Mom left me to be adopted and feelling lost while having all these other things thrust on you and living a life you dun wanna live for 22 years), afraid (try not to hurt people but in struggle and wanting pepole there it hard cause i can't handle it all) shame (adult expectations on a kid...try to be normal, operate like everyone else, Pressure, failure, and overallinability. Super negative self talk/stories like I am dumb)
Feel proud of myself. I had a nightmare where I met my shadow self and it said to me "I need your acceptance to move into the 2nd heaven." then all these other demons came out. These are parts of myself and the moment I started asking questions they changed from being agressive/trying to hurt me to working with me. Me do a big heart sigh and feel so heavy.
Layers of emotions: "Anger is sads bodyguard"-saying that i forget where it came from.
Anger, Frustration, VIolence, Hurt, Sad, Alone, Vulnerable, Defensive,
accurate
Glad to be a stray Shadow Sentinal and redact my ideas/what I see because I have better things to do. They'll just have to learn the hard way and continue the same cycles. Can't take away from my realism and awesomeness.

Lady Arys Marketing Plan for album/SMART Goal
Investing in ads on tik tok, instagram, and YouTube helps me reach viewers faster via organically. For 8 bucks I can reach 1,300 on tik tok. I have a content schedule creation and will start with one song to build more of an audience then work on my album. Hopefully get it done in 3 months.
I am able to make songs for $30 an hour with a friend producer. Can make a few songs for $50 an hour with another music studio that’s also good quality. I’ve worked with them before. Cost will go from 27K to something cheaper while still having great quality that is above satisfactory for me.
With school i'll have to produce music either in evenings and on weekends. I believe in my ability to do so and am doing great things already. Drew knows a big artist drummer so I am going to collab with him which also gets my work out there. Also going to ask a few big artists I know to collab with me on shows so I can play bigger venues/open for them. Getting really clear on things and sacrifcing a lot. I'm proud of myself for maintaining social aspects in my life and hope to start making more money doing events/what I love which will go towards future events and my albums.
Goal is red rocks someday. Anywho back to the breakdown of my goal for now. After this big producer song is done then I can start my next steps with my other 14 songs. This album will have 15 songs.
Describe your faith, spiritual discipline or philosophical path. Detail your answer and explain why you follow it.
Phew okay girl just breathe.....You don't belong there. Unfortunately had the displeasure to see the town hall thing on the youtube thing. That's unfortunate.....*pushes it away wtih love and sighs* underneath I'm sad, feel excluded, and idk why the force even brougth me here. It made me think I could make a difference yet snorts in amusement and idk I battle inwardly with doubt. Was this some sort of joke? I choose to have faith and lean into the teachings. I know it made a difference in me and I just don't need to be there. Glad to unsubscribe and don't know why I received this notification when they've done town halls before.
Yet it hurts, sad, disappointed. Anywho i'm getting ready for a dj gig and just use affirmations to get out of my head, ground into the present moment, and no one wants me so I don't go where i'm unwanted. As Justin Gates said.....he doesn't insert himself anymore and all I can do is aknowledge my desire to go more silent. Hence why I chose the Sentinal path and am just a Shadow and moved away. Let go i did...yoda voice lamo^^and just pretend like I didn't see any of that. Ignorance is bliss.
I love my journey now even more on a deeper level and feel so liberating. I think the whole 8 years i've gone through have been the ultimate teachers for trial of flesh. shrugs and moves on
Setting some time in my schedule to work on 2 tracks with the two producers. Then start another track with the producer who worked with post mallone in january. Drafting up a contract agreement on top of our intiial agreement that states I keep my rights to the song too and that he can't sell my half of rights. Maintaining ownership is key to me and super important. I have good boundaries and yet am very present too.
One of my desired meditations.

You know that know when you hop into the studio and then you feel inspired to remake something and feel powerful as fuck boiiii! That's how I felt today as I am reworking a song nd honestly I like this version better than the original. I know it's not perfect yet but this is where it started. Stay tuned for more producer shenanigans and original music coming soon from yo girl! I am the frequency, the energy, and I am the sound god. I have a goal to get this signed by @anjunadeep or one of their 3 labels yet we'll see. I also produce this for the pure joy of it whether or not it gets signed.....my advice is don't produce to get signed. Produce because you love producing and believe in your dreams. If you get signed, great but if not no worries. #Producer #OriginalMusic #PositiveVibes #HouseMusic #Drafts #SneakPeak #EDM #fyp #viralvideos
It was painful losing people to rumors and inheriting enemies that were foged by other jedi/sith who hated me. So i became avoidant in attachments and kept everyone away saying yep I'm the crazy sith. It's so painful losing people....then you realize it was never a loss at all. They were never your friends.....some were but anywho you learn friends are fickle in the community.
I gave up trying to connect and used to try hard cause i didn't want ally to win by keeping me out or away from everyone. Now it's more for me and ally can think she won for all i care. There are some friendships that have stayed in all my ups to downs. When I pushed people away they understand while some left I think some still get it yet that's not important to me. Raven and I spoke about some cycles. Fear, rejection, pain, self preservation in conjunction with the behaviors and where I rejected people before they could reject me.
I've gone away from a lot of that yet still don't see anyone worth connecting with except within my circle. I'd rather not run into the same people and it's like once you transcend a cycle behaviors change. Things seem less important and there's a sense of personal power/freedom. More time to focus on other things and continue to step into the wholeseome life I live. I enjoy what moments I have with peole and let them go without fearing them leaving. I just live in present moment and am aligned with the force/where it leads me. I don't really open my mouth that much about it and how I am now feel ten times more me and for me then for others. I started my training at cojk in april or may where things really started clicking/cycles with shadow aspect studies starting clicking too.
You have aha moments when you do the work and things just fall in place becasue you do the work. Then consistantly things happen and are acted upon so your not just knowing the lesson yet emobodying it. I like this song by T swizzle cause it's how I used to feel and every time my shadow self rears it's head I sometimes observe it or use my tools in my shadow tool kit. Feel proud of myself and I think I shared what I wanted to share in this text so I don't want to make a video anymore. I"m happy.
None of this is worth it for me yet making a video because why not. I refuse to train because it's for others and not me. I refuse to do any sort of cleanup/reputation repair to a community that wants nothing but to see the opposite....used to do that for years. While i've done lots of Jedi traiing on the side for me on my own terms at COJK .....if i do anything outside of Ashlas thing it's not for me so i'm not doing it.
Now that means i'm at an impasse with the community and honestly i'm fine with that. I used to hope it didn't but also ya just stop caring really and attaching. Because i'm one aewsome individual who's not going to waste her time with peter who thinks otherwise of me and explaining so he can understand is the complete opposite of what i'm wanting to do here. He can stay in his corner and I can be in mine. Not like i'm going to any sorta joint meeting yet if we ever did....we can be jedi and i can fondly wear my tigers eye yet stay my course that is separate from his.
I will always respect/love my Master deeply for what he taught me yet I also can't reduce myself either. All apprenticeships are temperary anyways and as painful/sad as I feel....had dreams of him night before last night I am a Jedi. I must be mindful of my attachments and to me I find a sense of inner joy in what i've been putting into play/applied from what I learned. I have an even deeper insight on things and there's a difference between clarifying/vs. talking to someone who's blind who will never see you then fighting to be seen when the languages just don't meld.
When you do that it leads to a sort of depressive feeling. I've learned better. Jfed wanted me to retrain and work with Gabriel who didn't even have time to train his last apprentice karina. Ross had to take over her tarining so while I always wanted to work with him I didn't see him as a reliable option to truly go through with his work or agreement. I meant no disrespect yet I'm hesitatn and honestly would rather not waste time on my end or his. So while that meant a lot to me I just eventually said no. Plus again it's more for them then for me. For their whole reputation repair thing vs. me wanting to do the training for me to enrich myself.
I enriched myself at other orders. I even finished training yet didn't get recornition....which yeah it hurts my feelings because I did lots of work yet everyones so focused on seeing the shit in me. How would that not hurt? Maybe someome else wouldn't be hurt but I did.....after years of being degreaded it just hurt. But now when I hold my saber I feel a sense of humility yet pride in my own journey. I used to hate how my journey was so different then others....like why did dead eye jedi train only for a few years yet i'm still not aknowledged? I've done so many training programs now.....while i've leraned lots i'm still a shit person who's I guess a waste of space.
Goes back all the way to my childhood and that taught me. showed me my shadow self and ran into some opportunity o do some work. So that's good and cool (: because my world is a mirror. I learned so many things......yet now silent cause none of it matters anymore. WHile I wish others could understand they will never understand, when i speak to community it's like i'm an alien or something thats speaking a language they don't understand. Which again shows i'm wasting time and emotions. I can process my hurt yet move past it all. I can feel yet also spend time deatching in the whole not taking things personally bhuddist wisdom thing i'm doing in conjunction with my shadow tools
omg ahahah this is funny. I want to do something funny yet ridiculous like this bahahaha.

Maslow's needs;
My job/new schooling hours require me to be at school by 8 am with my job at 1:45pm. With music production and fitness needs my plate is very full. I'm fufilling my needs by working, shopping for some new things for my home, snagging some winter clothes, investing in meal prep chef due to me being so busy, and investing in a few spiritual things/managing all my finances. Doing work towards my financial goals and being picky with my investments.
When you manage your expectations and learn to deatch you no longer take things personally. A fellow Shaman who used to be a sith said my journey is steep and I agree. I had struggles aknowledging my journey and liking it. Now I do and I float feeling so free as I meditate with my saber. I resonate lots with Ashoka and felt beautiful in this so I took a picture after thanksgiving dinner with family.
I am grateful for myself, my growth, grateful for my journey, spirit guides, and more. My affirmation is
I love myself
I honor myself
I acknowledge me
I am capable, lovable, valuable, and worthy
In my failures I am still loved
The force holds me, loves me, and supports me.
I hold hands with my inner child, aknowledge my heartbreak of growing up sooner then later, be patient with myself, and grow myself as I heal/Integrate myself.
I am the force and the force is me
