Here, you'll find instructions on the third practice in my list, Deepest Fear Inventory. I love Deepest Fear Inventory because it helps to make unconscious fears, conscious - so they can be released. When our psyche is all mucked up with unconscious fears, we can't be fully present for our purpose or our loved ones.
Read MoreFor centuries in Hermeticism, magicians have had a central pre-occupation with gaining Knowledge and Conversation of the Holy Guardian Angel…
…. i.e., communion with their larger Selves, also known as “individuation” in Jungian psychology.
The perceptive Ksenia Avdulova recently interviewed me for her popular podcast, Woke & Wired.
We talked about:
What is shadow work and how does it apply to business?
How I went from being broke to building a business with revenue of $950,000, and over a million in sales.
The principles in my business that have doubled my income every year
…and so much more.
As I mentioned, I've come to suspect that Paul Giamatti isn't just a great actor, he's a great magician. How so? He does the Great Work, joyfully integrating both tragic and comic sides of himself, through the television he makes.
Read MoreSo judging from my Instagram comments, the fact that we exclude some people from the WEALTH membership via our brief application process (WEALTH opens again for application / registration today!)... seems to rub a bunch of folks the wrong way. Of course, this delights me, so I figured I should take a little time to expound upon the topic.
Read MoreWhen an alchemist of the psyche wants to transform themselves into a magician capable of re-ordering their reality into beauty and bounty... they perform solve et coagula operations on their own being.
Read MoreThe biggest taboo is waking up to direct knowledge and conversation of your Self's divine immortality, because then you can't be easily controlled via fear of death.
Read MoreToday, we're talking about: The temptation to "go it alone" and the temptation to get hung up on worldly success as a born leader.
Read MoreToday, we're talking about how born leaders can overcome the temptation to purity and the temptation to modesty.
Read MoreBy "born leaders" I don't mean people who spring from the womb with mini bayonets, ready to command armies like bossy lil Napoleon Bonapartes.
I mean people who come into this world with:
a deep (sometimes heartbreaking) sensitivity to their surroundings
remarkable talents
and a gut-level sense of responsibility for making things much better for others
It turns out - when you're in the game of life and not in a track meet, kicking over hurdles works just as good as gracefully jumping them. Kicking over hurdles, of course, isn't pretty or neat. Also: sometimes while kicking, you trip and you fall on your face. But. It gets the job done and clears the way, ultimately.
Read MoreThis economic situation is grim, my heart aches when I ponder the devastation.
And also:
I think this can be a beautiful, galvanizing moment for many people who have long put off starting or growing their own businesses.
Huh? What?
What kind of business can you start when you're stuck at home and you hardly have any cash?
Well, in 2013 I started building my online teaching and coaching business while homeless for over a year (thank you, kind friends with couches!) and earning about $500 - $1500 a month as a freelance resume writer for illiterate Coca Cola executives.
Here's a little-known secret: your most epic, fascinating self revels in exactly those qualities that you're currently most worried that other people might see in you.
Read MoreSince I'm opening a virtual community full of super-fun, hilarious, incredible social support and online business training...
... and since so many of us will be in lock down / quarantine situations for a long time, and many in service industries are now out of work...
... I've decided to create a gifting program.
Everyone who applies and is accepted to WEALTH: the life-changing community where leaders come into their full power via the Hermetic arts will be able to gift a TOTALLY FREE 12-month membership to a friend
Read MoreOur society loves "hero's journey" stories about plucky protagonists who set off into the world on a deliberate quest. "Underworld journey" or "heroine's journey" stories are less popular, I suspect because they're a bit more unnerving.
Read MoreMaybe in daily life up til recently you felt quite comfortable. The status quo seemed stable; you knew how to navigate your world; everything was in order.
Now: the status quo is not stable. No one knows exactly how to navigate life with all the lock-downs and cancellations that are happening.
This is no time for stressing and snapping... this is the time for the both of us to bring the greatest presence, wisdom, and leadership we have EVER embodied to the table.
This is the time for a radical, profound upleveling in what Taia and I are bringing forth to the world.
This is the time to get fully EN POINTE with my daily practices - with meditation, movement, journaling, planning - with communing with my lager Self through divination - tarot, astrology, dream work.
I need to be as much in touch with the larger WHOLE as I possibly can be.
Today, I want to talk in-depth about an important step in creating an abundance of material wealth: finding a shockingly honest meaning for your life that’s far, far larger than anything you’ve dared to dream up previously.
Read MoreThe key to making a lot of money in a wondrous and delightful fashion rests in working with the ars Hermetica - the Hermetic Arts.
Read MoreIt's possible to go from constantly questioning one's purpose, feeling bored and lacking…
