Being the Weirdo in the Dirt
..See, at the time, that section of Southie was still “in transition.” (If you know what that means, you know what that means.) There were piles of dirt, debris, and old ghosts of violence and drug addiction everywhere—and me. I’d wake up on Sundays ( when it was warm), walk down to the Projects construction site, and sit in the old dirt to do my spiritual work.
Did all this shit really happen? Yup and Hollywood was going to make a movie about it all…..oh well.
Many decades ago, my wife and I had a badass loft condo in old time South Boston— aka “Southie”.
It was a great two-floor unit in a converted old school brick building, with 30-foot ceilings and 20-foot windows.
Our living room?
Half of the old school auditorium stage, complete with side curtain entrance. Real character. Right around the corner from the unit was the “D Street” housing project, which—at the time—was barely hanging on. It looked and felt forgotten, in the buildings and in the eyes of the people living there. You’d think people in charge would know by now that “affordable housing” doesn’t have to feel like a punishment for those living there. Eventually—after forever had passed—they finally started tearing down the worst parts and building new units.
New structures, fresh paint.
Shiny on the outside.
That’s where I came in.
See, at the time, that section of Southie was still “in transition.” (If you know what that means, you know what that means.) There were piles of dirt, debris, and old ghosts of violence and drug addiction everywhere—and me. I’d wake up on Sundays ( when it was warm), walk down to the D street Projects construction site, and sit in the old dirt to do my spiritual work. This wasn’t just a hobby. I knew of and felt the energy embedded in that land, I knew many people called residents in that area “D street dirt balls” and they were not, they are just people who accepted the energies dumped on them, people that needed some help, some way out of the loop.
Why Me?
☘️ Well, I was raised in the Mary Ellen McCormack Housing projects, right there in Good Ol’ Southie.
I know the frequency of depression, fear, addiction, and rage that soaks into walls and sidewalks of Housing Projects.
You can’t just slap some new stucco over that vibe and pretend the past didn’t happen. So, yeah, I sat in the dirt. Sometimes holding it like a lotus flower. Sometimes talking to it. Always working on the old energy contained in each molecule. And yeah, I got heckled while doing so. “Fucking weirdo.” “Yuppy fag nut.” “Fucking fruit loop.” where some of the old energies that were cast my way while trying to make the place better for all….
Gotta love old Southie.
(Side note: I was called a “long-haired gay boy” back in the 80s when my hair was sexy rock star length when I lived there as a metalhead semi bass playing kid. Then when I moved back in the 2000s with short hair, I was called “A fucking Yuppy.” I still don’t know what hair length would make my fellow Irish Bostonians happy.)
Anyway, weekend after weekend, I showed up. I did the work.
And when I felt the land was humming again, I left, and it was done.
And then something weird happened.
Or maybe something predictable (In my world)
A ripple started.
The whole area energy shifted.
The Seaport District in Southie—five minutes from us—exploded with growth.
Real estate prices skyrocketed in Southie. The vibe changed. People changed. It was like the land exhaled and let go. So the job was done and Helena and I both felt at the exact same time that it was then time to go and we sold our loft for asking price, no inspection wanted, almost instant occupancy after listing.
That, my friends, is what good karma smells like.
So we moved.
Helena put her finger on a map and said “Here.” So, we went “there.”
And we’re still there.
Why am I telling you all this?
Because being yourself matters.
Being a “fucking weirdo” if that’s what it takes—matters.
I’ve spent decades doing this work, owning a business with my wife in one of the most expensive business rent areas in Boston, where we did transformative work on Newbury Street (first block—aka, the fancy ass part). We helped people transform their lives, their health, their businesses, their spiritual wiring. And yeah, I thought it was all bullshit once, too.
I saw it happening in real time.
Stuff that shouldn’t happen. Stuff that changed everything. So before you write any of this off—before you call me a fruit loop—know this: Helena and I are just like you. We just decided decades ago to stop waiting for anyone else and start being the change. For decades, we’ve worked our energy, our spirits, and our asses off so that the “wild stuff” can happen IRL.
And it does happen. All the time.
So if you’re ready to shift something—yourself, your life, your world—buy one of our programs.
Not because we need it. But because you might.
With love from the dirt,
Brian
Energy Return to Sender: A Spiritual Law in Action
Brian Collins Life in Synergy® co-owner and retired healer, speaks of the karma energy boomerang.
You cant blow out the candles on the karma cake by putting your head in the icing.
Energy returning to its source often begins subtly.
Consider the closure of a business not due to market conditions, but because its foundational energy
was rooted in imbalance, deception, or betrayal. This is not simply metaphor or spiritual allegory. It is the tangible, measurable consequence of energetic misalignment. The second stage of this return process manifests more personally. The individual who projected that imbalance begins to experience karmic feedback. It may arise as relationship discord, health complications, or challenges involving their children or family structure. The principle remains consistent: energetic output always returns to the originator—sometimes exponentially.
Spiritual energy is not “woo-woo,” nor is it wishful thinking wrapped in mysticism. It is real. It is functional. And it carries direct consequences—especially when one’s personal energetic distortions are introduced into the larger field of collective peace.
And here lies the deeper truth:
The karmic consequences rarely stem from the externalized target of jealousy, manipulation, or deceit. Instead, they originate from the sender's own internal fractures—often concealed beneath layers of self-justification and ego.
A example: years ago, I mentored for years a very talented former student of mine named Michael Devin, bassist for 80’s Metal Gods Whitesnake and other varied rock and rolling bands. One of our countless conversations on consciousness, energetic ascension, and the dismantling of inherited energetic limitations later inspired him to write a song called Wild Buffalo (view and rock out below). A central lyric from that song—“You are one with everything, there’s no place to run”—summarizes the core teaching I often share with all my students.
It’s profound.
But it’s not easily digested by many.
Why?
Because negative energy is seductive.
It obscures clarity and convinces the subconscious mind that it “already knows.” And in that false certainty, the energy that needs to be dissolved becomes more deeply entrenched. The universe is always offering reflections of the self. Yet most people resist those reflections. Why? Because to truly confront the self—to truly take responsibility—is difficult. That spiritual mirror can be unsettling. And so, rather than face it, many allow karmic patterns to continue unchecked, unconsciously impacting their surroundings and loved ones.
Blame then pops up and the makers of pain energy then in their own spiral, will accuse the very people that they have caused agony to as being the source of any negative issues that they are experiencing, completely blind to the understanding that they themselves have written into the book of karma by being the initiate of their own suffering by their own actions.
Consider this: What if one denies the existence of God even after experiencing the absolute truth in real time over and over again—only to later find themselves living in an apartment overlooking a church? Or imagine making a business deal sealed with a handshake, only to watch the entire company then unravel because that handshake carried the vibration of untruth?
These are not coincidences.
Karma, once activated, will persist—relentlessly reflecting the suffering it once inflicted, returning it to the sender for reckoning until resolution is made.
This is karmic law, not performed by any individual other than the senders own actions, thoughts and deeds returning home.
And still, the truth remains:
“You are one with everything. There’s no place to run.”

Harnessing the Power of E.F.V: Energy, Frequency, Vibration
Dive into the profound impact of Nikola Tesla's insights on energy, frequency, and vibration, and discover how South Boston's spiritual healer Brian Collins applied these principles at his Newbury Street office to transform lives for decades. Explore the intersection of science, spirituality, and healing.
Nikola Tesla, a visionary beyond his time, once stated, "If you want to find the secrets of the universe, think in terms of energy, frequency and vibration."
This profound insight not only revolutionized our understanding of physical reality but also opened the doors to an array of spiritual and healing practices. Among those leading the charge in this transformative realm is Brian Collins, a renowned spiritual healer whose work at his Newbury Street office in Boston’s prestigious Back Bay has garnered jaw-dropping results.
Tesla’s emphasis on energy, frequency, and vibration (EFV) lays the foundational principles for many modern technologies and healing methods. Energy, in its purest form, animates our daily lives and the universe at large. Frequency, the rate at which energy vibrates, defines the myriad ways this energy manifests, from the colors we see to the emotions we feel. Vibration, the rhythmic movement of energy, connects every particle in the universe, serving as the universal language of creation and transformation.

For decades, Brian Collins has been at the forefront of applying Tesla’s EFV principles to his spiritual healing practice. His method, aptly named "EFV keys," operates on the belief that by understanding and manipulating these three core elements, one can harmonize the human body's energies. At his office, Collins has helped countless individuals and businesses achieve a greater state of well-being through his specialized approach. Clients that visited Collins' Newbury Street office often reported transformative experiences. By having Collins realign their energy, frequency, and vibration, individuals have found relief from chronic ailments, experienced heightened emotional states, and have even seen profound changes in their personal and professional lives. Testimonials often highlight an enhanced sense of clarity and purpose, a testament to the efficacy of Collins’ healing techniques.
The Science and Spirituality of EFV:
While Tesla’s insights were rooted in the physical sciences, their application extends far beyond.
The interplay of energy, frequency, and vibration forms a bridge between the tangible and the spiritual. In the hands of healers like Collins, these principles are not just theoretical concepts but practical tools that promote real-world healing and transformation. The legacy of Nikola Tesla’s exploration of energy, frequency, and vibration lives on through the work of spiritual healers like Brian Collins. His ability to harness these elements and apply them to healing is more than just a nod to Tesla’s genius—it’s a continuation of a journey towards understanding the deeper mechanics of the universe. As we delve further into this intriguing interplay of EFV, we not only unlock the mysteries of the cosmos but also empower ourselves to lead more balanced and harmonious lives.
This exploration of Tesla’s principles through the lens of spiritual healing invites us to view our own challenges and aspirations in terms of energy, frequency, and vibration. It’s a vivid reminder of the interconnectedness of everything in the universe and our ability to influence our own lives through these fundamental forces.
“Brian has an excellent bullshit detector and can be witheringly sarcastic about commercial or self-important promoters of sacred wisdom. The world is redeemed by masters like Brian who, out of compassion for sentient beings, share freely the wisdom that they have attained. My life has been immeasurably enriched by our encounter.””
