Working from a rough outline that is largely jettisoned five minutes in, we cover an enormous amount of metaphysical, literary, and survival-based material. Picking up from the Pilot Series Finale we do serious work to further detail Inner Portals. We are found returning to Junger and building-out several conceptual tangents stemming from The Forest Passage. We term these Inner Survival Strategies. Fine fitment of related concepts such as Eliade's Sacred and Profane provides, for careful listeners, more treated space and description of the inner realms and their applicability to our world.

You'll find this material nowhere else. 

The Mold, Daemons, Hierophanies and basic Narrative Theory all get a reduction treatment which is served up in the subscriber's second hour where we pivot into accessing the multiplicities within, leveraging this realm into ritual to expand our survival options long and short term. As well, we go into finer detail on stress and sauna work in addition to continuing with the themes related to Musashi's Criminal of Purpose. 

We're just getting the Warhorse warmed up now.
