What I’ve Been Searching For

0:00 Today I want to share what I’ve been searching for my entire life. How I found it and what this could mean for you.

Drawn to the Esoteric

0:08 From a very young age I was always drawn to the esoteric. I always wanted to know more. I was fascinated by things like cryptozoology, ancient yogis, mystics, whatever I could get my hands on. people who had access to deeper states of consciousness, even things that felt beyond normal human experience. It completely fascinated me. I had to know more. So, I kept digging deeper and deeper. I read everything I could, traveled the world, studied with masters. Back then, you couldn’t just hop on the internet and ask AI. You had to go search for it yourself by hand, flipping through card catalogs, digging through the library. You really had to want it. And it makes me appreciate that we have everything at our fingertips now. I always knew there was something more, something deeper, an underlying truth that I wasn’t connected to, something I knew was there, but I couldn’t quite reach. And even though I was content, I knew there was something missing.

The Biggest Questions

1:22 I’ve always been drawn to the biggest questions. What are we actually doing here? What is God? Not as an idea, but as something you can experience, what are the secrets of death that you can understand while you’re still alive? I could sense there was more. I just didn’t fully understand it yet. And for a long time, I was looking for something outside of myself. But all this time, it was already within me.

It Was Already Within

1:53 What I eventually realized is that none of this information exists outside of us. Everything we’re looking for is already within us. The problem was I just didn’t know how to access it. Once you truly realize that, you don’t just understand it intellectually, you feel it from within. I started to notice I was chasing the wrong things, not able to see what really actually mattered. It’s so easy to get pulled into thinking material things are the most important. But at the end of the day, you can’t take any of that with you. The only things that carry forward are your spirit, your love, and your growth. I spent a lot of my time distracting myself, keeping busy, filling space. So, I didn’t actually have to look within.

Running Out of Distractions

2:49 I was caught in mental loops, going through the motions, and not really living my truth. At some point though, you run out of ways to distract yourself and you’re left with the truth. There was a point in my life where I realized I was living a lie. I wasn’t embodying my full potential. I was scared to change. The life I had built was so comfortable. Even though I knew I wasn’t living my truth, I’ve always been willing to go deeper, to look into the darkness because I knew that’s where the real answers lied.

Reimagining Myself

3:22 I had to completely reimagine myself, shift what I was doing, and start creating an entirely different future. Making that leap was the most important thing I’ve ever done. And I’ll say this because I know a lot of people feel it.

Discomfort Points the Way

3:47 The things that make you uncomfortable are often pointing in the exact direction you need to go. We’re all a little afraid. That’s normal. But if you want more, you have to be willing to take the chance to put it out there and actually go for it.

The Ceremony

4:03 The realization didn’t fully land for me until I sat in a 5-MeO-DMT ceremony. Within about 30 seconds, there was no self. There’s no Kurt. There’s no me. I simply merged into the entire universe. Everything and nothing all at the same time. Infinitely big and infinitely small. This isn’t an ego death. It’s a complete ego dissolution. Not something I understood with my mind. Something I felt through the intelligence of my entire body. In that state, you experience a direct knowing, feeling the oneness of everything, the beauty of God or source, which has often been referred to throughout mankind’s history as nonduality. And many traditions across the world have been pointing to this truth, this eternal truth for thousands of years.

Coming Back Changed

5:08 When I came back to the material realm, everything was different. Not just the experience, my entire life. What mattered, what didn’t, who I spent time with, what I put into my body physically, mentally, and spiritually. How I saw myself, not just as a body, but as something much deeper. That one shift changed everything. And I don’t mean that lightly. It changed how I live, how I think, how I relate to people, how I move through life, how I’m sitting here right now talking to you.

Where Everything Clicks

5:46 I’ve been good at a lot of things, a multifaceted artist. I’ve built multiple businesses, a loving father, a devoted friend, but this is different. This is the one place where everything clicks, where nothing feels forced. It just feels effortless, natural, like I’m finally aligned with what I’m actually meant to be doing. And what I found is that as I went deeper into this, it didn’t pull me away from life. Oddly enough, it made me better at everything I did. More present, more focused, more intentional. Because when you’re aligned, you bring your full attention into what you’re doing. Most people think of enlightenment like a switch. You either have it or you don’t.

An Infinite Dial

6:43 But it’s not like that. It’s more like an infinite dial that you can keep spinning deeper and deeper and deeper for as long as you want. And at its core, this path isn’t complicated. It’s about becoming more present and more loving. But to actually live that, you need the right framework, the right tools, and real integration.

No Going Back

7:08 I could never go back to living the old way. There’s no amount of money. There’s no amount of anything that would make me trade in what I understand and feel now. Because once you see and feel your truth, you can’t unsee it. And when you’re not living it, you start dying on the inside. slowly, quietly, until something finally breaks.

Why I’m Sharing This

7:36 The reason I’m doing this is because I feel so good, and I want other people to have access to this in whatever way works for them. We all know it doesn’t work when someone tells you what to do. I’m simply here as a humble guide so you can find your own version of what feels right and what resonates with you. You can go as deep as you want or just take a few tools and feel more grounded, more clear, more connected. The more you tune in, the closer you come to your true self and your true path. And the closer you are to that, the closer you are to love, clarity, and fully embodying who you’re here to be. Because this is your path. I’m just here to help you see it a little more clearly.

Overview

Everything we’re looking for is already within us.

From a very young age, I was drawn to the esoteric — ancient yogis, mystics, people who had access to deeper states of consciousness. I read everything I could, traveled the world, and studied with masters. I always knew there was something more. Something I couldn’t quite reach.

What I eventually realized is that none of it exists outside of us. The problem was I just didn’t know how to access it. This is the story of what changed that, and why it led me to create Seek Consciousness — not to tell you what to believe, but to help you explore these questions through your own direct experience.

Main Ideas

What this journey taught me.

01
It was within me all along

For a long time I was looking for something outside of myself. Once you truly realize it’s within, you don’t just understand it intellectually. You feel it.

02
You can’t take it with you

It’s easy to think material things matter most. But at the end of the day, the only things that carry forward are your spirit, your love, and your growth.

03
Discomfort points the way

The things that make you uncomfortable are often pointing in the exact direction you need to go. We’re all a little afraid. That’s normal.

04
A direct knowing

Within seconds there was no self, no Kurt, no me — a complete ego dissolution. Not something I understood with my mind, but felt through the intelligence of my entire body.

05
It made me better at everything

Going deeper didn’t pull me away from life. It made me more present, more focused, and more intentional in everything I did.

06
An infinite dial

Enlightenment isn’t a switch you either have or don’t. It’s more like a dial you can keep turning deeper. At its core, this path is about becoming more present and more loving.

SIT WITH THIS

Notice What You’ve Been Searching For

There’s nothing to get right here. Just look at your own experience and notice what feels true.

01

What have you been searching for — and where have you been looking for it?

02

What do you use to keep busy, so you don’t have to look within?

03

What makes you uncomfortable right now that might be pointing in the direction you need to go?

04

If you were living a little closer to your truth, what would be different this week?

Try This: Set aside ten quiet minutes with nothing pulling at your attention. Ask yourself what you’ve really been searching for, and write down whatever comes — without editing it. Notice whether the answer points outward, or back toward you.

This is where the whole Blueprint began — a lifelong search that kept pointing back within. It touches every root of the Tree, and one branch in particular.

1.

Inner Authority — it doesn’t work when someone tells you what to do. You find your own version of what feels right.

2.

Direct Experience — not something understood with the mind, but felt through the intelligence of the whole body.

3.

Daily Practice — to actually live it, you need the right framework, the right tools, and real integration.

4.

Love & Truth — the closer you come to your true self, the closer you are to love and clarity.

5.

Catalysts & Expanded States — the 5-MeO-DMT ceremony where the realization finally landed.
