Temple Journal
A Living Transmission of Embodied Sovereignty
You’re not entering a blog — you’re stepping into a field of remembrance.
This is the Temple Journal — the living archive of our lived experience, our practice, our devotion, and our transmission. What you’ll find here is not theory, performance, or abstraction. It is the medicine of real life — the embodied truths that arise when men and lovers choose presence over performance, devotion over escape, and courage over comfort.
Here, we share reflections, teachings, and transmissions that arise from the fires of identity, love, initiation, and lived devotion — not from a place of finished mastery, but from the heart of the path itself.
In these pages you will encounter reflections on:
-
Sacred Union & Sovereign Love
-
Embodied Leadership Beyond Performance
-
Healing, Repair, and Inner Rebirth
-
Ceremony & Integration of Edge States
-
Embodiment, Boundaries & Sovereignty
-
Spiritual Sexuality & Erotic Presence
-
Grief, Devotion, and Radical Honesty
-
The Real Work of Becoming Fully Human
This journal isn’t about information — it is about remembrance.
It is for those who are ready to live what they practice, not just consume ideas.
Here, we walk beside you — not ahead of you — through the terrain of inner alchemy and outer devotion.
This is not a blog.
This is a field.
A living transmission.
A temple of words that breathe.

Initiation through Earth & Plant Medicine: What Leaders Learn When the Identity They Built Stops Working
Many leaders reach a point where the identity that built their success can no longer sustain their evolution. Earth and plant medicine reveal the deeper structures beneath performance — exposing ego, trauma, and misalignment — and initiate a reorganization at the level of nervous system and identity. This article explores how true transformation happens when the old self dissolves, and a new, coherent, embodied leader emerges.

The Return of Breath, Eros, and Clarity: Why Men Are Reclaiming Coherence Instead of Control

Walking Both Roads: A Guide for People in Recovery Who Are Called to Heal with Earth Medicines
For years, I lived between long-term sobriety and a call to deeper healing that the 12-step rooms couldn’t explain.

The Many Faces of the One Light: Christ, Krishna, and the Universal Avatar Within
There is a frequency older than religion — Christ-Consciousness, Krishna-Consciousness, Buddha-Nature — one Light expressed through many forms. Christ, Krishna, Buddha, Shiva, Nityananda, Yogananda, and others did not bring different truths; they revealed the same awakened state. This blog explores the universal avatar and why humanity is being asked to embody this frequency now.

🌹 Sexuality as Worship: Reclaiming the Body as Temple
In this powerful teaching from the Merkaba Temple, Christopher Shaw invites us to reclaim the body as holy ground — to see sexuality not as shameful or separate from Spirit, but as a living act of worship. Through Tantra, devotion, and presence, we are reminded that the Divine moves through breath, touch, and desire — and that our love itself is prayer.

Psilocybin & Bufo (5-MeO-DMT): Evidence-Informed Paths for Trauma, Mental Health & Addiction—And How Aftercare Makes the Difference
Healing doesn’t have to be “Western or Earth medicine.” The most durable change often comes from integrating medical screening, evidence-based psychotherapy, and community support with carefully facilitated non-ordinary states. Below is what current research says about psilocybin and bufo/5-MeO-DMT, how they’re used, where the evidence is strongest (depression, alcohol/tobacco use), what’s still emerging (drug and sexual compulsivity), and why aftercare is the bridge from pea

Sovereignty & Boundaries in Sacred Relationship
In a sacred relationship, love is not about possession. It’s about presence. True union doesn’t dissolve individuality — it strengthens it. Sovereignty and boundaries are the foundation that allows love to flourish without fear, control, or enmeshment.

🔱 My Body, My Temple: Embodying Sacred Masculinity🔥
I’ve taken some flack lately for posting pictures of myself shirtless on social media. And honestly? I don’t care.... Sacred masculinity is not about a perfect physique. It is about remembering that the body is holy, reclaiming it from the grip of addiction, distraction, and shame. It is about standing fully present in your temple — clear, devoted, sovereign.

Heart-Centered Leadership for Sacred Entrepreneurs: A Roadmap for the heart-led CEO
In the age of constant acceleration, entrepreneurship can become a cage as much as a calling. The sacred entrepreneur feels it most acutely: the tension between building a visionary future and staying attuned to the soul.
Heart-centered leadership begins here—at the intersection of visionary purpose, embodied self-care, and spiritual integrity. It is not about hustling harder, nor about withdrawing from the world. It is about leading from wholeness.

Kundalini Yoga and Men: Awakening Power, Presence, and Sacred Brotherhood
For centuries, yoga has been portrayed as soft, flexible, and often associated with the feminine. Yet at its roots, yoga is a path of power — a discipline designed to awaken the dormant energy within, sharpen the mind, and align the body with Spirit. Among the many branches of yoga, Kundalini Yoga stands apart. It is not about stretching into the deepest pose — it is about igniting the energy at the core of your being and using it to fuel every aspect of your life. For men se

Burnout and the ArcherShaw Cure
Behind the titles, the corner offices, the endless Zoom calls, and the carefully managed calendars — many leaders, entrepreneurs, and professionals are running on empty. The data confirms what so many quietly confess: exhaustion, disconnection, sleepless nights, strained relationships, and a haunting sense that “success” has come at the cost of the soul. Yet burnout is not only a workplace issue. It is a soul issue.

Shiva: The Power of Transformation Within
Shiva is not outside of us. He is the Creator, the Destroyer, and everything in between — the pulse of life itself. To know Shiva is to know the power already alive within your own breath, your own heart, your own presence.”
