A lot has happened in the past few months. I had taken a brief hiatus from here to concentrate on some personal matters. This turned into a not-so-brief hiatus.
Although “personal matters” will continue to need room in my life for the forseeable future, so too will the need to make room in my life for exactly that – my own life.
So it’s with that in mind that I return to things like this blog.
I’m coming up on the anniversary of my Transcendence. On one hand, I seek to renew my experience of that event, though I expect no further lessons. It’s true what they say – it only needs to happen once, and your life will be changed forever.
But that’s just it – one year in, I am still Neo sitting in the cubicle. Some areas of my life are out of balance and are not receiving due attention. And that needs to change. I need to step past that pillar.
So let’s start with this:
I want to help people who are in the same place in life that I was. Who seek the same growth, mental and emotional health benefits, and answers I’ve been looking for for most of my life. I found my way out of a bad place, through lessons and practices which have helped me become my best, truest self.
I’ve been working on turning these lessons into metaphors to make them easier to describe and relate to. And turning those practices into guiding principles. Anyhow, some of my poor friends have been subjected to these ideas and have found them helpful, making progress on their own personal inner growth. So I’d like to expand on that.
And let’s be clear about that too: this is all about inner self work. We’re not talking about painting your living room here.
And another thing: often times the person in a relationship that needs the self work is the one who doesn’t think so. But you need to put on your own oxygen mask first when the cabin pressure drops.
Anyway, my journey continues and will never be finished. I hope you will join me for a part of it.
