My philosophy

Skulls And Skins is about a journey. Its the journey of a mentally ill homeless man and his dog, I say mentally ill with a bit a sarcasm as the last two years have proved to me that I just think differently than other people and the mental health services don't understand. I follow the Universal Laws of life. Yes I am homeless, yes I am physically and mentally disabled apparently, and yes I am totally unemployable. But you see, I am now on a mission. You see I belived the bullshit I was been told since I was 14 years old that I was incapable of doing anything alone. But the fact is, that is what it was, bullshit.

I have skills, I can build websites, as you will see from this one, I can build shelters and hunt in woods so I can live like a king and eat like one too, I can read Tarot, Runes and Pendulum, I can talk to spirits that have passed and those that have not yet been born, and I can see things others cannot. And thats not even half of my skills, you will see as we go along. So 2 years ago, after a 10 year relationship where I was told constantly I could not do anything and should just sit on my ass and let someone wipe it for me I walked out and decided I would do something, become something, and be something. I left with a laptop and 2 phones.

Why did I do this? Because you cannot confine a Wolf for to long or it will die or escape as they need to run free. This was right at the beginning of the Covid crap so I went to the woods. I ended up selling out and getting a room after about 6 months where I constantly self harmed and tried to commit suicide around 20 times in 4 months. My Grandfather taught me to survive from the age of 6 and truth be told its a good way of living. When I am in the forests etc I meditate and do Kundalini Yoga and Pranayama for hours at a time, I dont look at clocks or time and I only go into the towns and cities to charge my equipment up if I need too. I, these days, usually buy aa solar panel about 100 to 150 watt and a battery and in inverter if I am going to stay anywhere for a prolonged length of time so I dont have to go into the towns and cities more than twice a month for about an hour.

I don't drink or take drugs, I smoke tobacco and on a night I smoke Mugwort through a pipe as it helps me have really vivid dreams. I used to smoke Salvia and take Peyote juice but they have been banned in this country now. I still go Mushroom Picking around September October and do have a tea of those on occasion. My life is all about opening the mind, not confining it, for the last 200 years this world has tried to crush the spiritual journey and replace it with materialism, but me, I dont care about things, objects and so forth, I care about seeing what the mind can realy do.

It may seem like I am materialistic, If you saw my amazon shopping list you would probably drop dead from shock, BUT, if you look you will see it is all for doing the things I do, there's no toys or aftershaves etc on it, its all just stuff I need. and if I get it all like I did last year and get robbed again, thats fine I will start over. Like I have done 2 times on this journey so far.

You see there is a secret I found out a few years ago, if you want something and desire something the Universe wont give you hardly anything as it has you trapped in desire and ego, if you basically don't give a damn then the Universe will give you everything as it wants you under its spell so it will tempt and give and let you achieve whatever it thinks will bring you back. You have to genuinely give up the desire for anything and stop trying to build sandcastles in the sky. Honestly I have lists of things and as I get money I buy them but I am not attached to getting, having or keeping any of it. The reason I get what I want is everything I want or get or do is for other people.

Let me give you a breakdown of my rules that I live by now. They were given to me by Shiva Himself in a dream and in many visions since.

⦁ Never take more than you need and always help those who don't have what they need as long as it won't make their situation worse.

⦁ Never have more than enough to last you 24 hours, unless you are saving for something that benefits others.

⦁ Never use violence to sort out an issue unless a vulnerable person or being is going to be hurt unless you do

⦁ Only eat what is given to you by others and never spend money people give you on anything other than what they tell you too or what you hunt and gather yourself.

⦁ Never lie, if you don't want to talk about something simply say so, don't make up tales.

⦁ Do Spiritual Practices from 4am till 7am and from 6pm till 9pm each day.

⦁ Always have a dog, if your on this Path and your serious your next dog will be chosen for you by Shiva so they are a gift from Him and should be treated as such.

⦁ Never ask anyone for anything. This is possibly the most important rule, this life is lived to totally trust your Deity/Deities and you must trust they will supply you with all you need for the rest of your life.

⦁ Always let the person or people that do give you things know how grateful you are, if your living this life properly then everything you recieve is directly from your Deity/Deities through that person who has opened themselves up to that energy so say thank you and talk and let them know how special they are as they, even if they don't know it, are servants of the Universe.

⦁ Drink Herbal Teas as much as possible, if someone buys you a coffee that's fine, but if your asked what you want and its possible have Herbal Tea.

⦁ NEVER talk about other people unless someone is in danger of being hurt by the person. And I mean real facts, not Rodger down the road said something that sounds right, have FACTS and try and put it in a way that doesn't sensationalise the facts. Your opinion does NOT matter.

⦁ Never turn anyone away, it doesn't matter if they have robbed stolen cheated or hurt a 1000 people before you, your kindness could change the way they look at life. I have spent the last year talking to prostitutes, drug addicts and thieves, I wanted nothing from them and gave them all I could. If your help starts to hinder them then take it away or change the help, but NEVER do that for personal reasons only when it benefits them to do it.

⦁ Never stay in the same place for too long. I have been here where I am 2 months now and I feel it's time to move now, I fel the Universe is telling me to go to another place. I have done all I can here and people are starting to depend on me and becoming a crutch is no good, your aim should always be to help people stand on their own, not to depend on you as having a person as a crutch is even worse than having a drug as a crutch.

⦁ ALWAYS defend what is right and fight what is wrong no matter what side your mind tells you that you should follow, whether it is the Government or Rodger down the road, if they are right defend them, if they are wrong defy them.

I will now explain each of the above Precepts as they may seem contradictory, life is a paradox, there usually is things that seem to contradict other things until you see the reasons for them.

1) Never take more than you need and always help those who don't have what they need as long as it won't make their situation worse.

If your sitting in a spot in a town and people are giving you things and you are doing very well but after an hour you have hat you need for that day, move and go somewhere you can eat, have a drink and thank your Deity/Deities for supplying what you need for that day. You are trusting in Them along with the Universe to ensure you have all you need. It doesn't matter if you could get another £500 in that day, if all you need is £25 stop at £25 and be grateful for the fact you will be OK. Right now I aim to save £3500 to £4000 in 10 weeks, but this is not for me, this is to get all the things I need to record this journey fully and if I don't get it that's fine. It may take me 10 years, but I meditated and prayed to Shiva and Lakshmi about this and a plan came into my head that I believe will achieve it. Also help everyone you can, so if you have £10 or whatever left give it to another homeless person as long as you know they wont be enabled to stay stuck in the situation by the gift.

2) Never have more than enough to last you 24 hours, unless you are saving for something that benefits others.

Your dog should always have at least 14 days worth of food and enough coats etc to keep them warm. But you, you only need enough food for 24 hours and should only change your basic clothing when other clothing is given to you. Now you can save for things, things that benefit others, like I am doing with the £4000, to tell the truth I benefit not at all from this, it adds extra weight to my pack and I am 10 times more likely to be robbed if people spot any of it. But this stuff will help me document my journey for 24 hours a day on live stream and also to set up a business that will mean I will be able to help many 1000s of people. My business will not be about money, it will be about awakening the mind.

3) Only eat what is given to you by others and never spend money people give you on anything other than what they tell you too or what you hunt and gather yourself

This is one that sounds contradictory, but if someone gives you a fiver and says get something to eat you can as it is given for that purpose. But as a rule you should only eat what is given or what you hunt and gather yourself.

4) Never lie, if you don't want to talk about something simply say so, don't make up tales.

Trust me there is zero point and once people know you have lied to them they will question every word you say form that point on. If you don't want to tell someone something just say, politely, I don't want to talk about that thank you. The thing you have to make people understand is your past cannot be changed, your living the present to the best of your capabilities and only the future can be moulded to a better you.

5) Do Spiritual Practices from 4am till 7am and from 6pm till 9pm each day.

If your living this life then at least 1/4 of your day should be spent in intense practice. The truth is the practice never ends as you should build on what you attain in those hours to increase your goodness throughout the day. So really it is a 24 hour practice but at least, as a minimum, you should do six hours daily at those times. It doesn't matter if you are Christian, Muslim, Sikh, Hindu, Pagan or whatever, do the practices that call to you.

6) Always have a dog, if your on this Path and your serious your next dog will be chosen for you by Shiva so they are a gift from Him and should be treated as such.

I say Shiva as that is my main Deity but it is whomever yours is. Why do you have a dog? Because everyone needs a companion at some point and dogs give you there whole world. They also give you a reason to find shelter, get food, stay warm and not do anything stupid. But when you get a dog on this journey it is a gift from your Deity, they are your only possession that you would kill to protect. You ALWAYS look after your dog before yourself. You will know when the right dog comes for you, you will feel it.

7) Never ask anyone for anything. This is possibly the most important rule, this life is lived to totally trust your Deity/Deities and you must trust they will supply you with all you need for the rest of your life.

The fact is, when you do this, you put your complete trust in your Diety, You shouldn't even need to ask anyone for anything as you have complete trust in your Deity to provide you with all you need. You have to learn to listen though as many times you will be told to go somewhere or do something that makes zero sense, just do it, it will work out in the end. There will be points where your wondering what the hell your doing at some random place and no idea why, just learn to trust. Like me, I am moving from here in the next week, now to the common eye I am foolish as I have a shed with a wood heater and a toilet to sleep in but it is time for me to go for the reasons said above. I was going to go in 2 weeks but I know, for some reason, I need to be in the place I am going by next Thursday. I have no idea why, but I am trusting. And I am going with just basic kit and the little money I will be given in next 2 or 3 days. I have a spot where I sit at the moment, I get everything I need, I am near the beach and I go to sleep with the sound of the waves and a wood burner going. I have shelter and have been offered a permanent place to stay and build a shelter of my own. Yet I am leaving for a place I do not know, I don't know the people, and I will be alone again. Why? Because I had a dream after the Mugwort that in it Shiva told me to go to this place.

8) Always let the person or people that do give you things know how grateful you are, if your living this life properly then everything you receive is directly from your Deity/Deities through that person who has opened themselves up to that energy so say thank you and talk and let them know how special they are as they, even if they don't know it, are servants of the Universe.

Now the fact is you are living by the will of your Deity, the simple fact is that because you just sit and talk to people and don't ask for anything those people that give you things are sent by you Deity. You should be so grateful that they are open enough, kind enough, and compassionate enough to be able to be directed by the Deity. You are not thanking them for the things they give you, you are thanking them for their time and patience and compassion. I tell people all the time, I am so grateful for a conversation or someone actually cooking for me as that is real time spent on helping me. Don't sweat the money, it doesn't matter, enjoy the kindness of the people and let them know you are grateful for it.

9) Drink Herbal Teas as much as possible, if someone buys you a coffee that's fine, but if your asked what you want and its possible have Herbal Tea.

Chamomile, Pine Needle, Meadowsweet, Mugwort, Blackberry, Rosehip and any that will boost your immune system like Green Tea and Ginseng are good and most you can actually make it yourself. The thing is, and I will explain how to do it in a course on the site, you can actually completely revitalise your whole energy system and unblock Chakra's with Teas if you do the right Meditations, Pranayama's and Asanas in about 6 months. There are dietary requirements and things you have to start doing and stop doing but I will be doing it again in a week and I will make a course out of the videos I make so you can follow.

10) NEVER talk about other people unless someone is in danger of being hurt by the person. And I mean real facts, not Rodger down the road said something that sounds right, have FACTS and try and put it in a way that doesn't sensationalise the facts. Your opinion does NOT matter.

Have facts, if you don't just shut up. And if possible, unless someone is going to be seriously hurt stay away from it.

11) Never turn anyone away, it doesn't matter if they have robbed stolen cheated or hurt a 1000 people before you, your kindness could change the way they look at life. I have spent the last year talking to prostitutes, drug addicts and thieves, I wanted nothing from them and gave them all I could. If your help starts to hinder them then take it away or change the help, but NEVER do that for personal reasons only when it benefits them to do it.

You are a conduit for your Deity, they may send you to help someone who has done things that really screw your head, it doesn't matter, the past is gone, nothing can change it, but your kindness could stop them doing those things in the future. A hammer does not choose which nail to hit, the carpenter does, you are a hammer, your Deity is the carpenter, They shape the wood, you are just the tool they use. if you cut someone out of your life as they cause you pain you will never get out of that pain. When it is time for you to stop, leave or change you will know.

12) Never stay in the same place for too long. I have been here where I am 2 months now and I feel it's time to move now, I feel the Universe is telling me to go to another place. I have done all I can here and people are starting to depend on me and becoming a crutch is no good, your aim should always be to help people stand on their own, not to depend on you as having a person as a crutch is even worse than having a drug as a crutch.

You will be tested, like me now, I have been here 2 months and have all I could ever need, but Shiva told me to go, my reaction was not shall I or shall I not, or what about all I have here, my reaction was to find out when the cheapest train was going and when could I get the money to go. I checked yesterday and as soon as I get my bank card, which I need to pay for webhosting etc, I will be gone, whether I have the bank card or not I will be gone by Thursday as that is when Shiva said I had to be there. But as a general rule 3 months is long enough to be in any place so you don't get to settled and you don't become complacent.

13) ALWAYS defend what is right and fight what is wrong no matter what side your mind tells you that you should follow, whether it is the Government or Rodger down the road, if they are right defend them, if they are wrong defy them.

It doesn't matter if it is your worse enemy that is right and your best friend that's wrong, if they right you stand by them, we are not here to make friends and have relationships that mean we do things we know ae wrong, we are here for truth.
