Our story is one of searching, expanding horizons. For millennia we have explored beyond our boundaries, not only learning new skills and growing from our mental core but always pushing at the edges of our reality. The edge of a forest, the edge of a village, the edge of a landmass and now the edge of Space.
Always looking, always searching. Down the deepest mines into the core of the planet, to the highest mountains. We’ve escaped our atmosphere searching to the moon and as I write we are on Mars, still looking. Looking for what? Looking for what ever there is to be found and when we find it we’ll search even deeper. This is our nature.
I can imagine standing on a wooden ship heading off over the sea to new lands with utter uncertainty. The consciousness of the adventurers of old, the pilgrims and the first settlers of the New World. It’s probably a rare flavour these days. Our world is mapped and greatly understood. Is the mystical spirit of this adventure missing from our modern world? Do we feel lost in a world that is so found?
The people that first crossed the Atlantic did so with what we now think of as primitive technology, wood, rope and sails fastened together with faith. They jumped head first into the abyss.
Did you know we are standing on our own shore with our own sense of abyss? We can experience the same sense of mystery our forefathers experienced by staring at our inner horizon. It sounds like a dichotomy but we can expand inwards. Inside can be a route to the outside, inside is powerful, inside we can even explore galaxies.
The technologies we use to make these journeys are just like wood, rope and sails, they’re both ancient and primitive but by no means ineffective. Shamanic practices range from rhythmic dancing, repetitive music, drumming and chanting, physical exercise, stretching, meditation and the use of sacred sacraments. These are our ships but instead of raising the sails we raise our vibration, we raise our consciousness.
Together we can set sail and find our New World, an Inner New World where we can together create a new psychedelic multidimensional Statue of Liberty and learn more about our multidimensional selves. The parts of us that we never knew existed, the parts of us that we didn’t realise were parts of us. Bringing these aspects of ourselves back home into unison is great healing and as our inner states become more inline with our preferences so the outer realms and circumstances will fall into vibrational reflection of us.
In the same way that we now fly across voids that are the oceans with precision and predictability I anticipate our decedents and future selves will do the same of the inner void. The technologies of the sacred will become refined as we evolve. We are pioneers with primitive tools and a sense of adventure, we are pilgrims to the inner worlds. What treasures will we find?
I can’t welcome you to your own home but I can remind you that it is there.

What a nice read. Very inspirational. You should write a book; I enjoyed your style and your message. It would actually be a great foundation for an article in mainstream media to open people up to the inner world.

WOW this is a great eye opening read! You're words are very grounded and i can totally see a new way of thinking almost after reading this. I like your style, respect man

Thanks for the encouragement, it makes me glow. This muse is the basis for the introduction of a book I want to write about the healing power of my inner journeys. It will be called Inner Horizons.

I will write the book in real time during my "healing," so to speak. I am an upbeat kind of person, centered and connected to my purpose, however, I feel that I'm on the cusp of something big, there will be some confrontation of my shadow self soon. Surrounded in my life by love and protection, emotionally and physically, I am ready to reintegrate ancient suppressed aspects of myself to become more whole. I intend to use the book as one of the healing tools. Like a serpent eating it's tale the book and my healing will be interconnected, a metaphor for all of life. As I write I will guide my own journey using the magic of words. Creating self fulfilling prophecies and helping me to integrate and undertand the levels that I am at. Each stepping stone of my journey will be both deliberate and by chance. By writing about each of these stones I will hopefully be able to reflect fully and then from that place create the next stepping stone. The book will be a rabbit hole, I don't know where it will take me but in the same way that faith can hold a ship together, my faith will bind it's covers.
I feel that consciousness is the nexus of all that is. The figure of eight infinity symbol shows this perfectly, we are positioned perfectly at the central intersection, staring out. We are the waist of an hourglass, the waist of all that is. When you limit or constrict infinity it is squeezed into this intersection, this is us. This is the separation we feel, it is this waist. From this point there is no end to the outside or to the inside. Jump right in.

Inner Horizons, ancient technologies of the sacred and their modern counterparts.
My pilgrimage within.

The metaphor of the "waist" or cinch point in an hourglass... so beautiful & accurate! I've never thought of it that way, nor heard it expressed that way.. very nice. You've got a great writing style... I hope you post more so that we can enjoy it & learn from it.

Yes, very nice metaphor. When it comes to describing these things, metaphor is all we have.

In my last journey, as I was coming on, I sat and watched ripples intersecting on the surface of a pond before I closed my eyes. I got this strong message that this is a world of contradictions, an environment of differing truths... And that we human entities are the place where these contradictions are reconciled. For some reason I find your "waist" metaphor to be consistent with this.



If you are serious about writing a book on this subject, would you be open to using other peoples' experiences too? The Nexus would be an incredible resource for that. Illustrations too! I bet you'd find plenty of willing participants.
