At the time of recording this episode I was experiencing a lot of magic. Things were weaving together effortlessly and connections were being formed without effort. The main lesson I received in this experience was that this magic, this beauty is not it...

All of the pretty things in life are not it, all of the happiness, oneness with all life and bliss among the clouds are not it. This realisation struck me. It is the middle way, the understanding that the path is all of it, and that no sweetness will rid the world of pain, and the darkness that lurks within the shadows will never destroy the light.

I honestly cannot be bothered typing out more hefty descriptions and I shared a lot more than this, so I guess that leaves it in your hands to find out more!

PS. There is one part where I compare obsidian with another crystal, and the audio version might not make sense, but know that the video is available on YouTube if you would like to see it!

I wanted this episode to be a bit of a foundation for what is to come, to share some of the core intentions behind this podcast and my work, and to highlight the stage of the journey I call The Spiritual Seeker. This is an archetype or stage of the journey where we need to seek wisdom from external sources in order to begin the work with the self, the exploration of ones psyche. I go into depth about some of the traps I have fall into during this stage and highlight some key aspects of how to actually integrate this part of the ego, so we can go to the depths and begin working with soul. I speak about the transition from seeking the wisdom outside of the self, to becoming a student of life and a steward of our path. For me, this transition is one of the deepest initiations I have met along my path, as it has lead to the development of a pillar within myself, a connection to my soul and to the greater self (life).

As I mentioned at the end of the episode, I have space for some support work at the moment, so if you would like to work with me you can reach me here:
