The Fires of Collective Initiation

Polarity teachings to improve our dating profile aren’t going to be enough now.

Mindfulness meditation as a pause between capitalist business activities isn’t going to be enough now.

Books about Buddhism on the coffee table that don’t require any real penetrating insight into our real condition aren’t going to be enough now.

The weekly yoga class where we sip ancient wisdom while really focussing on maintaining that yoga body isn’t going to be enough now.

Conspiracy theories (no matter how true) as an excuse for actual awakening aren't going to be enough now.

Tantric retreats as a spiritual backdrop for our investment in spiritual hookup culture isn’t going to be enough now.

All spirituality that has really been about bolstering an identity, masking our belongingness needs, or instrumentalising our body for our ego’s gain won’t be enough now.

These times will expose the spiritual imposter in us all.

These times call for real transformation.

Gritty, down to the blood, guts, and bones transformation.

The kind that demands we truly face ourselves and do the humbling soul work of taking off the mask of personality.

Allowing ourselves to see the depth of the self-abandonment, soul-loss, heart-armouring, somatic domination, and the lack of love and consciousness that governs so much of us.

Because it is only in doing so that we can feel ourselves as the naked soul underneath it.

Eternally innocent.

Forever love.

With the One vibrating at the core.

And begin to take the journey as who we truly are.

These times are made to crush our avoidance down to dust.

So that a radically new kind of human can emerge.

May we give our consent to the fires of initiation that are now here.

And let ourselves be burned clean by the flames.
