Welcome To The Well: A Journey into the Depths of Our Humanity in Pursuit of Harmony

Welcome to The Well
The primary content of this blog will be inspired by the Path of I Am series by Matías De Stefano on YouTube. In perfect divine alignment, the first episode I write about here #179, is also the same one that inspired the title of this blog.
According to that episode, in ancient European languages, the protector of a herd was referred to as the well—a figure symbolizing strength, values, and the sacred responsibility of safeguarding, nourishing, and upholding what matters most.
While I couldn’t find another source to confirm this, the definition of this concept deeply resonated with me.
With this inspiration along with the well-known Bible story of the woman at the well together form the foundation of this blog, a space designed to draw from the depths of wisdom, knowledge, and inspiration.
My Mission: Distilling Wisdom for Transformation
Here at The Well, my mission is to distill wisdom for transformation. Through this blog, I intend to explore and metabolize the 365 teachings from Matías De Stefano’s Path of I Am series, turning their profound and multi-layered insights into accessible and practical takeaways for everyday life.
Each teaching is rich and interconnected, often running 45 to 60 minutes, and my goal is to honor their depth while offering concise posts that are easy to understand and integrate. These posts are not a replacement for Matías’ original teachings but a complement to them. I’ll include links to the full videos at the end of each post for those inspired to dive deeper.
I encourage you to watch the videos alongside reading these reflections. Together, I believe we can unlock even more of the foundational wisdom already present within our own consciousness.
Ultimately, this journey invites us to embody what I believe Jesus was persecuted for teaching: the transformative truth of living as one with Christ. Through this work, we can begin to heal the deep, devastating effects of humanity’s separation from this oneness and move toward a collective state of love, unity, and restoration.
My Existance
My work was born from a profound sense of alignment and purpose—to fulfill what I understood as the call Jesus placed on me through scripture. While it is now fueled by love and freedom, it originated, and often still arises, from a place of fear. At the age of 7, I was introduced to religious indoctrination that taught me if I didn’t believe in Jesus, I would die and be tormented in hell.
For decades, this belief deeply tormented me. It wasn’t until I attended a transformational event in 2020, at the age of 35, that I found liberation from the religious confines that had plagued me. Despite living as a Christian, I was still consumed by the fear of practicing my faith incorrectly, not accurately believing in Jesus, and would ultimately face eternal damnation due to this.
The next two years were spent exploring my faith and relationship with Jesus, leading to my own moment of enlightenment on July 4, 2022. However, I could never have anticipated the fallout from this experience, which has brought both unimaginable pain and revelation.
Following complications from a medical procedure that induced an altered state of consciousness, I was wrongfully involuntarily committed due to the involvement of former religious cult leaders.
These individuals, whom I had not been in relationship with for over seven years, arrived at my home under the pretense of "helping me" at my most vulnerable. They claimed to have been watching me "run away from Jesus" and began preaching from a Bible while I tried to explain that heaven was already here.
Soon after, crisis responders arrive and I was perceived as being religiously fixated. Instead of receiving proper care, and being taken in by the crisis responders, I was taken in by the religious leaders, one of which being the Fire Chief of a near by town and was off duty.
I was taken under the pretense of going to a doctor, and instead was physically ran against my will into a psyche box, which I believed is best defined under the RCW for kidnapping section 1e.
This experience took my understanding of the gospel—and the pain of its distortion—to a level I still struggle to reconcile. I came face-to-face with the devastating misunderstanding of the cross—what I believe to be the most grievous yet glorious act.
Three days after my enlightenment experience, I then had a Near-Death Experience (NDE) on July 7, 2022, which expanded my embodied understanding of the gospel in ways I could never have imagined.
My work now is focused on restoring and reclaiming ourselves after being destroyed, betrayed, or abandoned by those who declare Jesus’ name.
In my deconstruction journey, I never imagined it would lead me back to being of highest service to my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Yet here I am, committed to helping us universally discover that heaven is not a distant promise awaiting Jesus’ return but has always been a reality available to us here and now.
To The Christians
The Bible quotes Jesus as saying this 2000 years ago:
One day the Pharisees asked Jesus, “When will the Kingdom of God come?” Jesus replied, “The Kingdom of God can't be detected by visible signs. You won't be able to say, 'Here it is! ' or 'It's over there! ' For the Kingdom of God is already among you.” Luke 7:20-21
How do we still miss it? How have we missed it for over 2000 years and declare something that Jesus is never quoted for saying as the gospel?
The kingdom of God existed in the days of Jesus, and I am now certain of this truth that it continues to exist today too.
Yet it seem as if I do not experience the “already among you part” with Christians. However, I do experience it with thousands if not millions of others online today.
I believe it is the stark difference between the gospel of Christ and the gospel of Paul that is the primary source of this extreme devastation. The distinction between the name of Jesus creating hell and the name of Jesus creating heaven is the delima we are faced with today.
The religion we have built in Jesus’ name that directly opposes the very message he willfully was murdered for preaching.
Jesus died for our restoration and freedom, yet we now use his name to enslave ourselves, with even our highest elected offices in the United States serving as mascots for this distortion.
The pain and humiliation of witnessing this weighs heavily on me, often feeling like hell in the most extreme way. And yet, this very pain fuels the passion and relentless commitment behind the content I create.
To those who consider themselves believers, followers of Jesus, or Christians, I invite you to explore my post For the Christians.
In it, I lay my heart bare, sharing all of myself with those who share this identity. I, too, have been shaped by the same religious programming and fundamental beliefs. In fact, I hold these beliefs even more deeply now and firmly believe: Every knee will bow, and every tongue will confess that Jesus is Lord.
If your beliefs lead you to feel separate from me, or if judgment, rejection, or disqualification causes you to turn away, I point you back to the cross and declare the gospel: 'Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is here.'
I acknowledge that my body does not fit the narrow qualifications outlined by an inerrant text with over 300 translations. Yet, if your heart, mind, and soul are open to receiving from the Spirit of Truth—and not me—I pray you will stay open to God working through you if you have the courage to read For the Christians too.
I pray that in doing so, it will lead you to join the rest of humanity in the pursuit of love, freedom, and restoration, ultimately manifesting the Kingdom of Heaven here on Earth in Jesus’ name."
An Invitation to Journey Together
In light of everything I’ve shared about my journey, calling, and intention, I want to invite you to bookmark this blog in whatever way works for you and join me as I post daily reflections and insights from the Path of I Am teachings by Matías De Stefano.
Each post will be designed to reclaim truth that will ultimately serve our global alignment to the gospel.
I do plan to leverage my fundamental Christian beliefs—though I’ll likely express these ideas more subtly as it’s important to me that everything I share here can stand up to the truth of Christian doctrine.
While I desire us to transcend every illusion, I also embrace and work with them.
My hope is that, in time, together we will begin to witness the unfolding of history repeating itself as the events surrounding Jesus 2,000 years ago manifest in new forms today.
I also invite you to explore The House, a project I created before starting this blog.
It includes a blog post I wrote that sparked this entire process for me.
In a moment of divine alignment, I woke up the day after reviving The House and found a video by Matías at the top of my YouTube feed. It was Episode #177 on the topic of Politics. In light of what I was creating, the video instantly inspired me to write a blog post distilling the transformational information I received in an clear ad concise way.
You can read that post here, and if you’re interested, you can also join us in The House by clicking here.
The House community is a collective participatory democracy where individuals come together to co-create transformative solutions, embody their highest potential, and anchor a vision of integrity, connection, and lasting impact.
While The Well is just getting started, and will exist along side my other endeavors, my intention is to continue sharing the awe-inspiring and transformational information I have gleaned when engaging with Matías’ teachings in a way that expands, elevates, and enlightens the process of embodying Christ.
I also hope to add context and perspective that grounds metaphysical concepts in the truth of the gospel—that heaven is here. These posts are meant to awaken the parts of us that have been destroyed by a world unable to receive the Spirit of Truth.
I believe we can reclaim what we’ve been separated from and embody the divine wisdom available to all of us. So, I invite you to dive into The Well with me.
Let’s co-create a space that inspires, challenges, and transforms us. I also encourage you to share your thoughts—on social media, in comments, or however you feel called to engage after consuming.
My desire is that, together, we’ll explore what it truly means to live in alignment with the divine and embody the changes needed to create a better world—to create heaven here on Earth.
With all of Me for All of Us,
