August 27: He looked like a man. My brain said MONSTER.

Content warning: this email includes a story about domestic abuse and violence, including death. Please take care of yourself and skip it f you need to.

I was standing outside at a friend's party, chatting, half paying attention.

And out of the corner of my eye, I saw a huge, lumbering beast walk by.

It gave me chills, but when I turned to look…

Nothing there.

No beast.

No man.

Nothing.

I don't believe in monsters.

I don't believe in woo-woo, or auras, or any of that.

But I couldn't shake the feeling.

It was unsettling, in a way I'd never quite felt before.

Later that night, I met the monster.

He was a man.

A popular one, too.

People kept introducing him to me with this glowing enthusiasm, like I was supposed to be delighted.

And every time, that same feeling crept back in.

He cornered me a couple of times that night.

Nothing sinister on the surface, people had apparently also said nice things about me to him, and he was interested in connecting.

I chatted.

I also found my way out of his presence as fast as I politely could.

I never saw him again after that party.

But I heard about him.

Turns out he was abusive.

Turns out he had two women he was abusing at the same time.

Turns out he beat one of them to death.

Turns out he then killed himself.

And once again, I had a totally irrational, completely unprovable, dead-on accurate read on a person.

I bring this up because this morning I saw a reel where someone asked, "What's something you had a bad feeling about that turned out to be exactly right?"

Twelve minutes of stories just like mine.

Some smaller.

Some worse.

All eerie.

It reminded me of a client I'm working with right now, someone who spends so much energy second-guessing their own instincts because of anxiety, they've basically muted the one internal alarm system that's trying to help them.

It also reminded me of the time I went to Thailand for a sexual hypnosis and slave training seminar (yes, really, that's my life), where I learned techniques for strengthening personal intuition.

I built a hypnosis script and audio around it and shared it publicly back in 2018.

I just added it to my new Discord community, because I think we could all stand to be a little more fluent in our own gut.

Not so we panic over every weird vibe.

But so we notice the ones worth noticing.

If you want in on that community, here's how: reply to any text or email from me, or text +1-855-712-5433 with "I want to learn" and your Discord ID.

I'm inviting people in order as I go.

Might be fast, might take a minute, depends how many people are ready to be part of something brand new.

Here's the video that started this whole train of thought.
