Falling Into Soul

This is not the episode I thought I would make. This is the episode it was time to make. And so goes the soul. Tracking where it leads is an ongoing commitment.

Western culture is rich in ways to keep us chasing the outer dream and pitiful in ways to facilitate the actualization of an inner soul vision. Our ability to dream with soul and bring forth what lies deep within us has been hijacked by the cultural delusion that tells us we can have whatever we want, when we want it, how we want it--an affront to nature.How to create, heal, and live with soul in a culture that's done its best to cut soul out of the picture is the work and obsession of my life. In this episode I share what I've learned over the past 15 years from my own Falling Into Soul journey:Three main reasons it's hard to create with soul and three tools to make the hard of it easerThe difference between dreaming with soul and chasing the dreams you've been conditioned to dreamSelf-inquiries to help you align with your own soul wayWith love,McCallRelated episode: How To Recognize the Will of the Soul Support the show Stay connected through my Email List Get a copy of my NEW book Down from the Mountain directly from me Read or listen to my new book Down from the Mountain Read or Listen to my first book The Second Half of the Mountain: A Guide to Personal Alchemy after Awakening Read The Terrible, Beautiful Truth on Substack

Alchemy is a terrible but brilliant series of processes that burn, drown, rot pressurize, and distill every extraneous thing out of the way so you can see what is there. What the fire leaves behind is who you really are. What the fire leaves behind is all the things about you that cannot be left behind. What remains when all else fades is how we know what's ours to live in a new way.In this episode:the threshold between being initiated to the true self and the pressing need to integrate the true self in all facets of lifethe spirit addiction or impulse to keep cleaning the slate, reinventing yourself or undergoing one more process of alchemy that could maybe possibly change who you are and what your life is about this timehow alchemy is not a process of transformation so much as a revelationprompts and inquiries for intuiting where you are on your alchemical journeyWith love,MPoem by KavijiSee photos of The Octopus TreeSupport the show Stay connected through my Email List Get a copy of my NEW book Down from the Mountain directly from me Read or listen to my new book Down from the Mountain Read or Listen to my first book The Second Half of the Mountain: A Guide to Personal Alchemy after Awakening Read The Terrible, Beautiful Truth on Substack
