In this first episode we’re going to explore the principles of the initiation concept and process, what the ultimate ‘goal’ of the entire experience is, and take a deep dive into the importance of reflective, conscious belief formation as the ‘framework’ for this work. I offer here, with humility, several perspectives that I feel are fundamental to a powerful, awake relationship with life, and which have been distorted in the last few hundred years (and beyond) within the collective modern human consciousness. We once had access to ways of understanding our place in the world that encouraged connection, belonging, and faith, yet these have been mistakenly skewed into ones that perpetuate suffering, separation, and instability. If we see the “problem” as something outside of ourselves we will be exhausted by attempting to change or fix it, but if we look within and towards the beliefs that form our world, massive change can and does happen.

Please note that I offer these perspectives not as a form of ‘commandments’ that you have to align with, but as an opportunity to reflect and investigate your own beliefs, and to ask what the consequences of those beliefs are. I hope you enjoy the exploration..
