What if the unknown is not the enemy?

In The Little Monk, a young novice stumbles into a simple but profound truth. It is not the unknown we fear. It is our struggle with it.

Whether it is the job we have not heard back from, the silence of the future, or the world we are unsure how to raise kids in, the unknown wears many masks. But behind every mask, the room remains the same.

Sometimes wisdom is not about finding the answer. It is about making peace with the questions.

The Little Monk is an original story created for The Pattern Underground.

Justin Hammer and Tony Stark.

Two people. Same tools. Same stage. Very different outcomes.

This episode looks at Iron Man, one of Marvel's best series, to examine what separates people who impress… from those who actually build something that lasts.

It’s not about talent.
It’s not about money.
It’s something quieter.

And it shows up in more places than you think.

Which one are you becoming?

What would you see in the Mirror of Erised? Harry Potter's magical mirror doesn't just show us what we want - it reveals something deeper about who we are and what we think we're missing. In this episode, we explore how our deepest desires might tell us about our hidden wounds, and why the things we long for often reveal more than we realize.

Join The Pattern Underground as we begin our journey of uncovering the deeper truths hidden in the stories we love.

As we enter the Year of the Snake, we consider what it means to truly transform. What becomes possible when we let go of old stories and patterns? Join us for this special prelude that sets the stage for a different kind of journey - one that looks deeper into the stories that shape our lives.

That feeling when a story hits differently, like it’s showing you something about yourself?

It’s not just you.

The Pattern Underground explores how the stories we love, movies, shows, myths, reflect our deepest patterns, fears, and desires.

We don’t just analyze pop culture. We step inside it. To find what’s hidden. To shift how we see the world, and ourselves. From Harry Potter to Fight Club, Marvel to Miyazaki, these stories are mirrors.

All you have to do… is look closer.
