Joseph Campbell describes the the "Hero's Journey", as being one in which the reluctant hero launches off into a new reality, has a series of challenging adventures, and returns to the village to share what he has learned.  This mirrored my experience beginning in 2012 when I was fired from my job and took a deep dive into my meditation practice (see the detail below).

There I encountered my spiritual double, my Soul, who taught and showed me many things tha became the basis for a number of books, poems, blog posts, podcasts, tools and processes, and courses you can take advantage of to begin or deepen your own meditation process and personal development.

My mission is to offer ideas, tools, triggers, processes, and support to help people experience their Eternal Beingness and grow in consciousness.

My trial by fire and my deep dive into Higher Consciousness began in earnest in early 2012 when I took a promotion and moved to San Diego to take a high-profile job. I was particularly good at my profession and had worked my way up through the ranks with outstanding success. This was the next stop to the top of my profession--State Director.

Unfortunately, my experience in San Diego was professional hell. My new boss was a terrible leader and manager. Running the program into the ground, she had created a terrible mess. She rejected my advice for how to improve the organization In fact, I ended up in a pitch battle with her over the survival of the program. She began to blame me for all the problems with the program and she threatened to have me fired as a way of diverting attention from her own incompetence.

I blew the whistle on the situation, revealing to the higher-ups what was going on. An investigation was done, and she was fired. Unfortunately, I was fired too as a “troublemaker”. For revealing the truth. I was crushed.

My next 12 months were exceedingly difficult. My high-paying job was gone. I was in a new town where I was a stranger. I tried to find a suitable job in my profession but I was a dismissed whistleblower.

Throughout this entire episode, my meditation practice was one of my key anchors to maintaining a sense of well-being. It enabled me to “keep my head about me while others were losing theirs” ("If" by Rudyard Kipling). I was able to return over and over again to a reasonably peaceful state of mind, no matter what insanity was going on around me.

I managed to stay “in the moment” much of the time, though sometimes I was very annoyed and upset. Deeper and deeper into my meditation practice I went and began to have amazing insights and experiences, including experiences of Illumination. And I began developing a relationship with my Soul, my Higher Consciousness. I began journaling about my experiences, with no thought of publishing, but as part of my healing process.

After about 200,000 words, I realized I had the makings of a book. Several books. And thus began my career as an author, poet, and teacher.

The idea that has been taught by the world’s Master Teachers for centuries of Spirit being Within us really makes sense to me now. I can see clearly that when we turn Within Spirit will come flooding to meet us. In my case, I think my Higher Consciousness, my Soul, had waited lifetimes, many lifetimes, for me to Awaken.

I hope you find my discoveries valuable as you begin or deepen your meditation practice. And more importantly, as you negotiate your own journey into Higher Consciousness.
