So the topic is your life's work and the hero's journey and I just thought it would be nice if you shared a bit about what your perception of the hero's journey is in relation to your own personal journey.
I mean the hero's journey by the sounds of it,
It doesn't sound like it's an easy path to walk.
No it's not.
It would be nice and I think what I realized after many years of being a director of alternatives I realized that a lot of the kind of spirituality around is very lovely and very reassuring and very kind of angels are holding us and all these wonderful things.
If we're living in a very negative world with not very much encouragement,
Lots of criticism,
Lots of stress,
Actually having that is a really beautiful tonic for all of that.
But then if we go too much into it it kind of can almost put us to sleep and we can kind of forget some of the really edgy parts of the path which isn't all love and light and joy and rainbows and unicorns.
There are elements of it which are very powerful and magical but it's also edgy because of the nature of the time we're in.
We're in the time of global transition which means our own lives have to be transformed.
We have to transform all the toxicity within our own reality and then we can start help others to help transform their reality.
Yes of course people listening to transmissions know that I work a lot with angels and guides and everything doesn't dismiss the edginess of the path.
They say that the path is like a razor's edge and the further you go you can still fall off the path.
One of the dangers for me is the more well known I get the more people kind of send me lovely messages which I'm not saying should stop it because it's lovely to receive it but I might start believing you know I'm some kind of demigod which of course I'm not.
I have people around me that can kind of remind me that I'm not that you know there's the work but in life I'm an ordinary and enjoy being ordinary.
I think it's good to be ordinary because the path is ordinary and extraordinary.
The path is around waking us up and you know that means we're kind of the idea of like the matrix we're asleep and somehow we're going to get woken up.
The idea of waking up is that there's a calling of some kind.
Imagine we're sleeping and there's some kind of calling that kind of wakes us up and like whoa what's that and we kind of wake up and the idea of the calling and this awakening and this journey is that it wakes up our core resonance.
We shift up the scale from you know the lower ends of anger,
Resentments,
Bitterness up to you know the scale of a few people are talking about it.
David Hawkins talked about it very well in his book Power versus Force.
So we're shifting up and there's that pivotal point of courage and we go up into more joy more ease and as we shift this idea of grace,
This idea of miracle consciousness,
This idea of reality creation becomes into play.
The idea of we have a personal connection with the higher self comes into play.
When we're resonating it fear,
Resentment,
Busyness,
You know all that none of it makes any sense because we'll dismiss it.
It's like ridiculous you know it's fairy tale land you know.
So awakening is to shift us out of our old mindset into a higher frequency.
It also shifts our sense of direction.
So in my life when I was sleeping working in the corporate type of environment my vibration was kind of very oh why am I here,
Why am I doing this,
Why am I paper shuffling,
Why am I oh okay I've got to pick up the kids,
Okay I've got to run and okay the wife wants okay and running around and paying the mortgage and sorting all that out.
So I didn't have much space in my head for anything other than reading science fiction which was an escape.
I was into escape escaping from my current reality and when I was in that zone I thought well all I'm good for is this.
You know there's nothing more to my life than endless this you know and the kids will grow up and maybe I'll have a bit more space when they grow up somewhere down the line.
But the idea of inner potential I had no idea about what inner potential was.
So when I was sitting paper shuffling in that bank I was overlooking the river Thames you know in this international banking complex.
If someone has said well you're going to be speaking on this on these kind of seminars you're going to be doing YouTube there was no YouTube you know what's a YouTube you're going to be speaking on the internet there was no internet then you're going to be running workshops and doing talks I mean I'd be like or writing books I mean I would understood writing books I was going you must be joking.
So the idea of awakening up something that's within us so we become more than we thought we could be that's the journey.
It's a hug and a slap.
You get lots of hugs and you get a few slaps and then you get more hugs and then you trek up the mountain a few more slaps and that's the path and you might fall off a bit you know sometimes we stray from the path hopefully not too far because we can make a certain amount of error on the path it's not like we have to be perfect there is a there is room for error but there's not room for big error the big errors are where we fall completely off the path into into you know somewhere we don't want to go but even when that happens we can still get back on the path but the advice is try not to fall off the path stay on the path and things typically which will pull you off the path would be like doing some drug thing overdoing spiritual practice I've seen people go into psychosis through overdoing mantra singing for example and they went into psychosis or someone went into psychosis while doing I won't name the course because it was a very intensive course and they went into psychosis ended up in the priory which is this expensive place so I mean that's okay because they come back on the path both of them are fine now but you know so you can do that but why do it if you if you can avoid it you know if your system doesn't call you to do ayahuasca then don't do it if it does then do it there's some things which are more edgy which will blow you open quicker and they can propel you along the path quicker or it can pull you off the path I mean the hero's journey is the Joseph Campbell mythologist he created the hero's journey which is really a summation of a lot of myths around the world of this archetypal hero that goes on a path and it lines very much up with soul mission and soul purpose and it's not just for men traditionally it was men you know Odysseus and or Luke Skywalker but you know nowadays we've got um what's that Star Wars Rey isn't it so the women are also heroes and heroines it's an archetype it's not about men or women it's an archetype and energy
