Transcript

Glorious greetings,

My friends.

This is Aaron Pyne,

The Elven Wizard,

With another one of my Wizard Wisdom talks here.

And in this very special talk,

I'm excited to share with you the concept of the Avatar that I've been inspired by many different thoughts and principles and ideas from the past,

But I've never seen anyone present it in this particular format that I'm grateful I was able to sort of piece together and develop and test as the Elven Wizard,

Which is my avatar and have now over the last about three years at the making of this audio helped hundreds,

Probably even over a thousand people have activated their avatar form to different degrees and to different depths.

But everyone I've gotten to talk to has had a profound shift in their awareness of themselves,

Their creativity and their capacity for joy and play in their life and really to help them create a new story for themselves and who they are and how they choose to show up in their life.

So I'm going to be diving into this concept a little bit about where it came from my own personal journey with it as the Elven Wizard and give you more insights about why you might want to explore this.

And of course,

A lot of this is referenced in the actual creative process to get there is in my inner realm journey meditations,

Some of which are here on insight,

Or you can go over to my website to the link in the bio,

Get to the inner realms journey,

Start the free trial.

You're going to go through those super fun guided meditations that I've created where the Elven Wizard himself,

My avatar,

Will guide you into this deep meditative,

Imaginative,

Creative space where you get to unleash your avatar.

So let's dive into it.

I do want to read you.

This is the new inner realms journey book coming out,

Which of course has talks about the avatar as well as has some inspiration of different concepts.

So I want to just read this little blurb to you as well as share just some of the ones that are in this book to give you a bit of an overview as we go in.

And then of course,

Talk about it more.

So your avatar is the hero of your story.

It encapsulates all that you are,

Empowering you to expand into the greatest version of yourself.

Your avatar can manifest as a wizard with a special connection to the trees,

A fairy empress that alchemizes dark and to light,

A dwarven warrior ready to help those in need,

A merfolk star shaman prepared to travel the worlds,

Or whatever else might be awaiting within your imagination.

Avatars are often inspired by legends,

Fantasy,

And mythology.

In the initial meditations of inner realms journey,

You'll be guided through the process to develop your avatar.

When you start,

And this has happened for many,

You may just get the,

I'll say the initial seed.

It's like you're drafting up a story,

Right?

You get the first draft,

The first chapter of your avatar.

And over time it will likely develop and expand and deepen in its complexity and layers.

So I want to give you just a few more examples just to help broaden your ideas around this because I've drawn this from a lot of fantasy and mythology and even games a bit.

And a lot of the fantasy genre and the game genre,

A lot of that was inspired by early fantasy literature,

Particularly Lord of the Rings,

J.

R.

R.

Tolkien,

One of my favorites.

And he of course was inspired by a lot of ancient mythology across Europe.

And so these concepts,

Although they've been revised and maybe updated,

Many of them are very ancient.

So I'm going to just go through some of the general ones to give you,

Again,

Like I said,

Some ideas here.

So there's the idea of the alchemist,

Somebody that maybe uses herbs or magic or maybe even sort of variations of science to change and transform things and energy and explore those sort of almost scientific,

If you will,

Properties of reality of life and use that to create change.

There's the angelic beings that are often seen with wings.

Often they're associated with sort of protective,

Maybe warrior or very loving and bringing peace.

Of course,

Many of us are familiar with angels.

There's many different forms of them from different cultures around the world.

Another concept of an avatar might be some sort of animal-human hybrid.

A centaur is a common one,

Right,

Where there's part human and part horse.

A satyr is part human and part goat.

The sphinx is human and lion and maybe with eagle wings.

So lots of different ones.

Again,

Throughout mythology,

You'll find different hybrids that are mixed between part human and part some sort of animal or other creature.

There's the artist or the bard,

The performers.

And you know,

In many ancient times,

These positions were very powerful,

Very revered to bring beauty and music and story and mythology to culture.

So your avatar may be some version of this.

There's the crafters,

Those that are all about creating things and forging things together and making new things,

Whether it might be,

You know,

Objects of power or armor or weapons or technical things,

Right?

If you're someone that's doing that in your day-to-day life,

You know,

That could very well be part of your avatar.

Now the next one here is the dwarf,

Right?

Which often could be a crafter,

Often are crafters.

They're connected with the mountains and the deep earth.

Often they're seen as like short and stocky and very loyal and stubborn.

They're like mountains.

If you were to take a mountain and put it into a person,

You'd have a dwarf in a way.

The elves,

One of my favorite,

Of course,

Being the elven wizard.

Many different types of elves,

But they're often connected with the forest or wild areas.

You know,

They're deeply interwoven into nature itself.

And to me,

They kind of help manage and oversee different areas of nature.

And they're very associated and connected with the fairy,

Which are perhaps a bit smaller,

Very minimal border between the elves and the fairy go along,

Get along very well.

The fairies again,

Often being connected with nature,

Maybe a little bit more on the trickster side.

So you see elves is a little more elegant.

Fairies may be a little more wild and mischievous and tricksters,

But there's many different types of fairies,

Many different types of elves.

And that moves us along to giants,

Which might also be Etans or Cyclopses or Titans,

Ogres,

These massive forces of nature.

You know,

Again,

Mythologies around the world had forms of giants,

Very strong,

Powerful.

And then we move on to the Goblinoids.

These are usually seen as a little bit more mischievous,

Maybe even on the darker side,

But not always.

But there's the goblins,

Hobgoblins,

Kobolds,

Orcs,

Trolls.

Usually these have a little bit of a scarier appearance,

But they have their own,

You know,

Their own part of the story here.

Another concept is the healer,

Right?

Somebody that's very caring,

Likes to help others,

Others in need.

They might use magic,

They might use plants or herbs or have some other way to help heal people.

And there's humans.

Your avatar may present itself as sort of an epic superhero type human self.

So that's totally possible as well.

There's the idea of a leader,

Right?

It could be a king or queen,

A pharaoh,

A chief or chieftain,

An empress,

Somebody that is there to sort of lead and take care of and support and inspire large,

Large groups,

You know,

Maybe a whole community,

If you will.

There's the magic wielder,

Right?

Which includes wizards such as myself,

Sages,

Shamans,

Sorcerers,

Enchanters,

Those that use mystical things and explore lines between realities and dimensions,

Maybe have mystical powers of some sort.

There are the,

Some might call them man beasts,

Where they're perhaps have a humanoid type shape but have the characteristics of an animal,

Perhaps like a frog man,

Right?

A creature that is part sort of an eagle and human being.

You see this in some of the Egyptian gods where they're like kind of human-like but also sort of an animal.

So some of these are in different to mythic tale,

Mythical stories around the world.

Then you have the monks,

Which are right,

Very focused perhaps on their meditation,

On their discipline,

On their dedication.

Some may be peaceful monks.

Of course,

You have in some areas more like the warrior monks that are protectors.

You have the priests and priestesses.

These are usually devoted to some sort of god or goddess.

Perhaps they sort of draw forth inspiration or wisdom or qualities or even maybe magic from that divine being that they're connected to.

There's the rogues who are perhaps explorers,

Pirates,

Rangers,

Scouts,

Tricksters,

Wanderers.

Sometimes they're sort of work alone.

They might be adventurers exploring different things,

Seeking out adventure,

Seeking out journeys on their own,

Exploring things.

They may have a sneaky side to them.

And finally but not least is the warrior concept,

Right?

So this is a concept that's very much a part of the way that is trained in martial arts,

Perhaps to protect,

Perhaps to transform things,

Perhaps to cut through illusions and false things and stand up for what is right.

And there's many other possibilities or any combination of these archetypal avatar forms.

And we're,

You know,

Continually adding some more to our growing list on the website to inspire you.

But these are some general concepts that a lot of people who have gone through this process with me have come up with and feel resonance with.

You may find that some of those are already sparking your interest.

Perhaps you already had some inkling or interest in some of those from maybe a story you've read or from your childhood.

That is very possible.

When you get into the meditation,

I found that sometimes people,

It is aligned with some preconceived thoughts they have.

And sometimes something completely different comes through.

And let's get into this.

So what is the avatar?

I want to dive into that a bit more.

So you're starting to get the idea of this mythical persona,

This character,

If you will,

That I'm inviting you to step into.

Again,

Mind being the Elven Wizard,

I continue every day as much as I can to step into that and live.

How do I,

How can I live as the Elven Wizard?

How can I connect myself and my expression and my joy and who I am with the Elven Wizard,

With that avatar?

In the past,

The concept of avatar historically was often used in different areas as the idea that a divine being,

A god or goddess takes up a sort of human form,

A temporal form in the human physical reality.

And that is their avatar.

They've come into a physicalized avatar.

I've seen this often like in India.

So there's all these different ideas of these avatars coming in and sort of incarnating here.

So the idea of this divine being coming into form.

Of course,

There's the avatar movies where they talk about basically a human is transferred through this technology into the Naboo,

I believe it's called,

The beings,

Right?

The people of this particular planet the humans were trying to take over.

So they took up this other form.

And then of course,

Online and digital games and stuff,

There's the idea of an avatar,

You know,

You create this character,

This avatar character that you get to play as in a particular game,

In a virtual reality,

Things like that.

So all of those,

I'll say,

Inspired me to some extent.

But the concept here that came to me,

My own meditation,

My own journey,

Was that we have a deeper expression of who we are,

Right?

And in some spiritual teachings,

You'll see the concept of the higher self,

Right?

There's a sort of higher version of our soul,

That's maybe more wise than us that can maybe see the bigger picture of our life and our journey.

And you know,

There's a lot of teachings about how to connect with that and bring that through or tap into that for wisdom and insight.

A lot of those things I've studied over the years and seen and practiced and played with.

But it always seemed abstract,

Right?

There's this,

Maybe this luminous soul,

That is your higher self,

And you can sort of tap into here and there and sort of try to align yourself with.

But the avatar started to come in as this clear way,

What does my higher self look like?

What does it feel like?

How can I start to live that?

Because I feel like we're in this point in this age where we get the opportunity to explore these things.

And I feel like we're also being called to it and it's necessary.

So the avatar is sort of a bridge,

If you will,

To your soul,

Whatever that looks like to you,

To be able to bring that into form,

Right?

It's hard for me to say,

Okay,

Let me bring this abstract soul into form.

But if I have this concept of this elven wizard that's sort of in between,

Right?

It's sort of beyond the human self,

Right?

It's magical.

It's a deep connection with nature.

It's sort of outside the bounds of the human self.

Yet it also encapsulates that.

And yet it's also something I can sort of begin to obtain and a certain degree to bring into my life,

Right?

So the elven wizard for me symbolizes a few things.

It symbolizes nature,

Particularly trees and forest and being around with that,

Which for me is my like,

If I'm in the forest,

I am happy.

That's my happy place.

So it keeps me connected to that and all things nature really inspire me.

And I like to have that around or be immersed in that as much as I can.

The wizard has to do with,

For me,

It's play.

It's creativity.

It's magical.

It's living a magical life.

It's living with creativity,

With imagination,

Connecting with mystical things and curiosity about life and a playfulness and a general goodwill.

You know,

All of my life is as much as I can dedicated to helping others,

Helping uplift others.

So to me,

The whole elven wizard concept is in a way my values.

It's my sort of parameters of how I like to live my life and parameters of how I can show up best.

Those around me,

You know,

Those are close to me can see like,

Yeah,

He's the elven wizard.

Like that's how he lives.

They love it.

It lights them up and it gives them permission to be in their magic and their creativity.

So not only does it support me,

But it supports those around me who know me as the elven wizard.

Right.

So as you develop your avatar,

It's helping you to step into the best version of yourself,

The true version of yourself.

And all of us have lost that.

And to some degree or another,

Right,

We go through this journey here,

Our human journey,

And we all pick up stuff from,

You know,

Our family,

Our culture,

Our experiences through life,

Some beautiful things and some maybe not so beautiful things.

And all those sort of formulate together into a cohesive or maybe not cohesive idea of who we are and what we are and sort of form if you are ego,

Mind,

Our personality construct.

And we've had this sort of collection of patterns and stories and experiences that have developed who we think we are and how we make our choices,

Right?

Way our mind acts like this computer.

It's like,

Okay,

It analyzes and stores the memory of all experiences of what we've gone through,

Good or bad,

And continues to perceive our reality based on that and make choices based on that.

Right.

It kind of references the past,

Takes in what's happening now and makes decisions based on our past stories.

The avatar allows us to step into a new story because,

Okay,

I am Aaron Pine and I've had my journey as a human being with all its ups and downs and good and bad and all of it.

Right.

And there's also this concept of the Elven Wizard.

That's sort of a whole new concept,

A whole new software,

If you will,

That I'm importing into my mind,

Into my body,

Into my mental constructs so that I can begin to live from more levels than just my human story.

And so I'm always inviting myself to think,

Oh,

What would the Elven,

You know,

Here's maybe here's what Aaron would do,

But wait,

What would the Elven Wizard do?

Right.

As those things I mentioned earlier,

Right,

The creativity,

The play,

The nature,

The magic,

It's also courageous,

Right?

The Elven Wizard is brave and ready to take on any challenge and ready to bring his magic and his maybe mischievous trickery or his uniqueness or creativity or his play to whatever challenge arises.

So there may be times where I feel like,

Oh my gosh,

This is,

I'll say overwhelming.

That's something I can feel a lot of because I create,

At the same time,

I create a lot of things and then I can feel overwhelmed.

Like,

Oh my gosh,

I've created so many things.

But then the Elven Wizard comes in and Elven Wizard is like,

We got this,

Like,

This is part of the plan and we're on track here.

We got this,

We're doing this.

So it's like,

It's like that inner superhero that comes out and is ready to face whatever is happening and gives me an expanded power and courage and confidence in myself and what I'm capable of.

So the Elven Wizard,

Right,

I started really developing this concept early 2020 when I began building Inner Realms Journey.

The Elven Wizard is the first character you meet in the Inner Realms Journey adventure meditation experience and Elven Wizard helps you to develop your avatar.

So,

You know,

I realized early on that if I'm going to invite other people to develop their avatar,

I've got to do it full on.

And so I've continued to push myself as to how can I live and be in every way the Elven Wizard as much as I can from dressing.

You know,

If you've seen some of my pictures on social media,

My website,

You'll see me fully decked out as the Elven Wizard.

I do a variety of videos in the Elven Wizard.

You know,

I go to different events,

The Elven Wizard,

Even if I don't have the whole Elven Wizard outfit on,

You know,

It's still all around me in my office,

In my space.

And it's always there kind of with me in different ways.

Even,

You know,

When I eat,

I'm like,

Oh,

What would the Elven Wizard eat at the grocery store?

So even attuning my diet,

How would I,

You know,

I love to travel.

The Elven Wizard loves to wander around and see different places.

I've been able to develop that in my life where I can travel a good deal and do a lot of my work,

My wizardly work online.

So continuing to align bit by bit my life to this persona of the Elven Wizard,

Which for me is joyous,

Is fun.

It's like what lights me up.

It's what gets me excited.

It's on purpose for me.

It's authentic for me.

People can feel that around me.

Like,

Oh yes,

This guy's,

He's the Elven Wizard and he's living the Elven Wizard life.

So I want to bring that up to inspire you,

Whatever your avatar becomes,

That you continue to align your life to it.

And you also work with clients one-on-one,

Helping them to develop and then embody and bring forth their avatar.

And I want to bring up two main points here.

One is the concept of how much it can heal and transform those limitations within you.

Because of a lot of our fears and limitations,

Even traumas are connected to our past stories,

Right?

There's this,

We maybe had some experience,

Maybe it was something a parent told us or a parent did to us or somebody in our past did to us or told us once or several times and that locks into our story,

Which is probably tied to an emotional charge,

Right?

And maybe it's been repeated over time.

So it's all sort of interwoven into this story,

Right?

And just like a movie,

You can go to see a really profound movie and it can deeply move you,

Right?

It can charge your emotions.

It might make you cry.

It might make you excited and make you laugh.

It'll make you angry.

You're tied up in that story.

So and not to devalue what's happened to you,

But if we weave in a new story that you're actually this avatar and the human is just one little journey of the avatar,

You can much more easily begin to release and alchemize and transform those wounds,

Whether they're mental,

Emotional,

Physical in your system,

Because you're moving yourself outside of the movie of your human self into a new movie,

If you will.

And from there,

It's a lot easier to unravel those things and shift them and shift how you interact with them in your life.

Right?

Again,

My earlier thing was overwhelmed or maybe there was times in my life I didn't feel confident about myself.

As a young girl,

I was always very shy.

I didn't feel like I fit in.

Right?

I still feel like I don't fit in a lot of times,

But through The Elven Wizard,

I'm like,

Well,

That's fine.

I'm still going to show up and shine and share my magic and bring forth who I am.

And The Elven Wizard helps me do that and also see the positive effect it has to inspire others.

So it's allowed me to sort of rewrite that story of,

Oh,

I'm shy and not be confident.

Right?

It allows me to switch.

So,

Okay,

There's Aaron maybe who's sometimes shy and not confident,

But there's The Elven Wizard that's ready for action and ready to wield his magic in the world.

So it allows you to make those shifts.

The other thing I'd mention here that,

You know,

I've worked with a lot of people one on one.

You can also get it through the Inner Realms Journey Meditation is to continue to,

I like to say,

Date your avatar.

Right?

So if you were to meet somebody new that you are interested in,

Right,

You would ask them questions.

What would they like to eat?

Where they like to go?

What they like to hang?

What they maybe like to watch or do,

Right?

You make those little connections and maybe you try to make choices that align with that.

Right?

If they're really into,

I don't know,

Pizza.

Okay,

Let's go out to pizza Friday night.

Right?

They really like to go walk on the beach.

All right,

Let me go walk on the beach.

So dating your avatar is the same concept.

Oh,

What would my avatar like to do tonight?

Where would it like to eat?

What would it like to wear?

Right?

What would it like to do?

I've got a few hours of free time here.

Oh,

You know,

If you're more of an entrepreneur,

You're running your own business.

Oh,

How would my avatar like to work on right now?

How would my avatar approach this?

You continue to shift out of your human story into this larger mythical concept and start bringing that into your life.

And that allows really powerful change.

And again,

It really ultimately allows more of your creativity,

Your joy,

Your soul,

True essence to come out to versus kind of living on more of an autopilot based on your past and based on culture and society,

Right?

You're deeply tuning into yourself.

You really this requires or not requires but allows you to let go of a lot of the outside programming and patterns and really deeply tune into yourself into your own intuition,

Into your own imagination,

Into your own creative power to live your life aligned with that.

And that's a huge leap from living other things.

And maybe you're already doing it to some extent,

Right?

Everyone is to some degree,

But this takes it several steps further.

And when you start living from this,

You begin to really see what is joyous for you,

Really your purpose,

Your essence and your qualities that is your gift to bring to this world.

This for me is a big shift in how we look at ourselves and who we are and what we are.

And also is very powerful way for us to connect with others.

I've seen this starting to work in really powerfully with groups,

Whether it's a family doing this together or a team,

Because it allows you to see and understand each other in many different new ways that maybe weren't there before.

You get a very clear conceptual concept of everybody around you,

What their strengths are,

What their skills are.

You know,

I'm blessed to use with a lot of my friends,

A few people that I work with.

We're starting to bring this out to more kids.

We've got the whole kids program.

So we're starting to bring this out to some classrooms.

We're starting to bring this out into corporate environments for a team program to help the team align as their avatars and be able to really understand and synergize in new ways with each other,

Because just this deep,

Powerful,

Mythical connection that happens.

And a lot of corporations already using different things like personality tests,

Right,

To help understand each other.

This is the next level of that in a really profound and fun way to understand each other's avatars.

It's the next evolution in my belief of how we can begin to relate to each other.

And it's super fun,

Like I said,

And super playful.

It's almost like getting to be kids again and bring out that imaginative,

Joyful,

You know,

Okay,

I'm this superhero and you're that superhero.

But you really get to see each other's strengths and challenges and be able to help each other out on this sort of quest together.

So my friends,

That's the introduction to this concept of the avatar.

I'm going to leave it here because I think that's enough to get you started and hopefully spark your interest to go discover what your avatar is.

Again,

You can get to the link through my bio.

To hopefully spark and inspire your avatar.

So thank you so much for listening.

I'm going to send you off with a little magical chant from the elven wizard himself.

Your true essence.

Reviews

Great overview and perspective to lend to answer the question "What is Inner Realms Journey" and why one should give it a try.
