From Terence McKenna as a pattern of potential consciousness analogs to The Christ to navigating the experience of entities in altered states, to the fundamental nature of reality as a play of archetypal patterns in divine consciousness, this is an interesting conversation.
One taps their deep consciousness in storytelling, and through the ‘vehicle’ of language offers far more than the storyteller is able to recognize on their own. The real value of a book comes from meaning unlocked by the reader. So without you, this book, this project, this mission, means nothing. It is only for and through a community that the co-creative process of cultural and personal transformation can occur. It is through this ‘community’ that great possibilities can come to fruit.

Psychospiritual maturation is the developmental process wherein we discover and repattern the elements of personality that deviate from the most honest core expression of the unique, unconditioned self. Spiritual practice is a means to cultivate a deeper awareness of this self and exercise an ability to express and integrate it into identity. Each one of us has a different set of challenges and barriers established between who we are now, and who we would be if we were fully expressed as our unconditioned, unhindered unique self. By inspiring the emergence of unconscious emotional material, our reactions and interactions with others can help or hinder psychospiritual maturation.
