The Portal is the Body

The Portal is the Body
So you want to be rich. You want to live fancy. You better take care of your body, bitch.
The current obesity rate in America is about ⅓ of the population. Not big-boned, not thicc, not curvy--morbidly overweight. Is this a moral failure of the individual? Not really. It’s the culmination of an ecosystem built on fear, conditioning each of us to live in chronic stress. It has to do with toxins in the soil, and with Republicans pretending they understand governance—when really, they’re just the latest incarnation of fascism.
We’re either fat, almost fat, or obsessed with being fat in the “right” places, because the speed of modern convenience cultivates deadly levels of stress.
So what is stress? It’s a hormonal loop—a feedback cycle between brain and body that drives behavior. Sit inside all day on a screen, wear out your executive function with constant role-switching, and by evening, your system screams for “reward” to regulate all that cortisol. Stress makes you crave relief. And chronic reward-seeking eventually numbs your prefrontal cortex—your logic, your discernment, your long-term thinking.
So now we’re fat and stupid.
But what is fat?
It’s storage. It’s memory made physical. Sexual abuse survivors often carry extra weight as armor. But they’re not the only ones. If you’ve had a cruel boss, an abusive parent, or lived in fear under people in power—and haven’t ritualized a way to release that energy—it gets trapped. Over time, it can morph into disease: liver dysfunction, heart problems, autoimmune conditions, skin issues. The body keeps the score. It holds every ounce of love you’ve received—and every unspoken pain you’ve internalized.
We know environment shapes gene expression. That’s epigenetics. Every child, ages 0 to 15, is at the mercy of their circumstances. So much of adulthood is just trying to repair what we never had control over in childhood. We’re attempting to individuate—to become autonomous souls in human form—but most of us are doing it without a roadmap.
Without wise guidance, we fail forward.
Social templates like marriage, wealth, and family? They don’t deliver happiness anymore. They offer fleeting highs that collapse under massive responsibility. We live in the pursuit of “the next thing,” while our bodies tumble—like a shoe in a dryer—through the time-space continuum.
And that’s life. Stress.
But a fulfilling life? That depends on your capacity to manage stress and build transformational habits. As helpful as AI might be, or as enlightening as a Google search may seem, your deepest pain requires something real. Something personal. Something sacred.
Because AI won’t hug you. Google won’t witness your grief. And screen-based living slowly trains you to dissociate from your body—the very vehicle of your life.
Are there remedies? Yes. But they’re slow. And not sexy.
They live in your rituals.
Nothing happens without the body--thought made form.
Your whole life relies on the body you’ve been given and the relationship you have with your animal.
The trending mental health issue you post about? Gone without a body.
Your desire to be rich? Not real without a body.
Your suicidal ideation? You need a body to act on it.
And by the way, Western medicine often ignores the fact that your body is animated by a soul.
You need both--body and soul—vital, alive, working together.
The concert of mind and body plays out through your habits. Those habits become powerful when paired with intention. That’s where ritual begins.
So—fatty, broke, sad, mean, addicted, stuck, behind, forgotten, clinging to religion for answers, Republican-leaning, weirdo human being—what are you going to do about life stressing you out?
Are you going to roll over and let chaos win?
Or will you rise and be a force for good while you’re still alive?
You don’t have to try at life and still leave a legacy of failure:

• Failure to be a father.
  
• Failure to be in a healthy relationship.
  
• Failure to make your dream real—hoping your kids will do it for you.
  
• Failure to have kids at all, because Earth feels like a dystopian hellscape run by backwards men.
  

Or…
You can make the choice to live free or die trying.
The way forward is ritual. And we can discover, together, exactly what rituals your body is asking for.
This is sacred witchcraft—taking the whole being into account and restoring harmony with the rhythms of the natural world.
Your body is the portal to life.
How are you treating it?
