Paws for Thought

Paws for Thought

Every now and then it’s important to stop and reassess. Sometimes external events trigger such pauses. Sometimes it’s an inner realisation, perhaps caused by a change in circumstances or our wellbeing.

Since last July, when Insight Timer changed the position of the goalposts, my ‘working world’ has been in flux. The loss of income caused me to create The Adytum and the Outer Sanctum launched at the start of this year. At the same time, I also started interviewing guests for the Practical Alchemy show.

Then two weeks ago, we heard a great friend has slipped away unexpectedly in her sleep. On top of the sadness, we also ended up temporarily rehoming her blind terrier. So this external event threw our world into disarray. At least our dogs kind of got on, only with the odd bark when blind Stanley blundered into one of them.

Output-wise, I have not been in the mood to create, not least with three potential sources of barking mid-recording.

So, for the foreseeable, I’m putting recording any more episodes of the Practical Alchemy show on hold. I’m also taking a step back from creation of the modules for the Inner Sanctum.

In this interim time though I’ve discovered a 3D modelling tool called Spline that will help me show many hidden aspects of our being. It is the Missing Link I’ve been seeking to give a deeper insight into the Inner Sanctum materials. So, while in this limbo position, I’m taking time to research its capabilities. The plan then being to use this hiatus period to come back even stronger, brighter and with renewed enthusiasm to deliver on my karmic mission while still incarnate in this form.

Have a play with this embedded object below for a sneak preview … put your mouse (or finger) anywhere to control its spin …

… and I was interviewed some time ago about consciousness and the flow of time … also embedded below 


Going with the Seasons

Going with the Seasons

I love it when the cosmos sets a plan in motion for you without your conscious input. When my show on New Reality TV became, well, a reality, I gave little thought as to how it would roll out, apart from to aim to publish an episode each week.

A little time in, Will and Karen, suggested that shows ought to have seasons. Just about then, it was emerging that 12 shows fit nicely on to a single web page so 12 shows a season it was for me. Only after setting this in motion, did I retrospectively realise each season would also map into a season of the year, dohhhh and of course.

So we’ve now slid into Season Two of the Practical Alchemy show and so it will unfold.

The Outer Sanctum Update

I’ve added one more module that curates and collates a series of disparate Meditations of Transmutations. Each of them doesn’t quite fit into a course but, together, they are collectively transmutational. No surprise there.

I’ve also completely removed any element of fear-of-missing-out marketing to the pricing. The courses no longer are individually ‘over-priced’ so that the Outer Sanctum bundle offers a massive discount. The mark up for individual courses is only 10-20% more, mainly so the individual prices are numerologically energetic. More importantly, you can spread investment over a number of months, at no premium surcharge. Here’s a short guide on how to find your way around it.

The Inner Sanctum is Opening Soon

This freedom now associated with The Outer Sanctum sparked me to realise that the Inner Sanctum could be opened sooner rather than later. Also, by taking 1-2-1 mentoring out of the base package, making it optional, I could also make it much more reasonably priced. Plus the investment would be spread on a monthly basis. This means adventurers can self-pace their progress and evolution to suit themselves.

It will be a nine month programme with an optional three month practitioner training module at the end. What’s more, your investment in the programme will be optional too, with three price points. The top tier of investment also accrues 1-2-1 time with me.

I am using the season of Spring to really finesse the lessons as it’s huge in scope. I’ve got loads of legacy materials to review, hone and update for the bulk of the initiations steps. At the same time loads of new stuff is arriving too. This plan feels more natural and do’able for me without loading on pressure on myself and being my own hardest taskmaster.

So it’ll be opening for acolytes by the Summer Solstice … taking us to next Spring’s Equinox for the first raft of adventurers. This time next year, I’ll be taking on the first raft of teachers.

… or at least that’s the plan for now, until next ‘moonth’.

Time To Write?

Time To Write?

This moonth has been not so much of ups and downs but one of hithers and thithers, with a sprinkling of sideways and ‘otherways’.

During this moonth, we had a lovely ‘breakaway’ to celebrate 40 years of being bonded together. This was a great reminder of the paths trodden, followed and explored that have led to being here, right now.

I was reminded too that there’s ‘books’ inside me still waiting to get out. The third instalment of the Soulwaves Anthology being one and the Book of Overstanding, which is the third instalment in my exploration of all things Tarot (and beyond).

So the former starts serialising on Insight Timer tomorrow and the latter I am rolling out from the Spring Equinox inside the Inner Sanctum.

The former is an auditory experience primarily so Insight Timer is perfect for it, not least as that’s where my tribe hang out. The latter is a multidimensional experience so needs video and downloads to fully overstand it – so my Thinkific platform is also perfect for it.

So I am setting a course to get back into my Happy Place, creating, scribing, innovating and way showing … this activity is nicely infectious too so come along for the ride.

In the mean times, I’ve rationalised the Outer Sanctum access and removed any fear-of-missing-out pricing from access to it. There’s now a choice of numerically powerful investment options for access to it – either $444 or 4 x $111 – the maths for both routes resolves and leads to the 12, which is further explored in 3D, 4D and 5D the Inner Sanctum.

But I realised some are simply not ready for either the full Outer Sanctum experience, never mind what’s available in the Inner Sanctum, so I’ve created a new bundle and subset of courses just for scribes and authors.

It addresses the three common barriers facing any prospective author of knowing what to write, how to have the time to write it and how to allow the words to flow through you. Again, the investment is numerically charged – just 3 x $99 – which is $297, resolving to 18 and then to 9.

Watch the video below for more on what’s included … and, in the Outer Sanctum, my course on The Magic of Numbers explains why these numbers are important and why I am including prices in a blog, not for reasons of sales but of energetics.

 

Oh, and I nearly forgot, the Practical Alchemy show on New Reality TV is making waves and exploring all sorts of transmutational methodologies with four new episodes this moonth …

Welcoming in a New Reality

Welcoming in a New Reality

Well the last moon orbit, mostly in January, was an interesting ‘moonth’ that augured in the arrival of a ‘new reality’ for me.

As I planned, the Outer Sanctum of the Adytum is now fully populated, open for business and taking students on board. For the next moon orbit, I will let it solidify and stabilise before tackling the creation of the Inner Sanctum.

As it happens, the materials for the Inner Sanctum largely exist, so again it will be all about creating videos and the structure of the path for acolytes. I’ll start laying the pathway after the next New Moon.

For the last ten years, I have mostly been creating audio assets mostly in the form of meditations, music and stories. The creation of the Adytum has given me a new found confidence talking to camera – without hesitation, repetition or hesitation – as well as skilling up in video edited. By way of example, see the scope of what I’ve published in the Outer Sanctum here …

 

On top of the creation of this new school of contemporary alchemy, a gift that came my way just before the end of the year was to be invited to host a show on the new metaphysical channel, New Reality TV.

Now the Outer Sanctum is complete, I’ve started to record episodes for my Practical Alchemy show and I plan to interview a guest a week going forward. Catch up on what’s already live and streaming.

First six shows on Practical Alchemy on NRTV

The Adytum is Open

The Adytum is Open

As one orbit of the Sun completes and another is about to begin, it pays dividends to reflect back and project forward. I always remind myself that every year we share on Spaceship Earth takes us on a journey of half a billion miles around our home star.

So half a billion miles ago, we’d just moved back into our renovated house. A good 25% of it internally was still a building site. Outside was a mess of detritus and the walls weren’t insulated and windows weren’t sealed. It was good to be out of the motorhome but there was still a mountain to climb. We had bought the property to downsize but ended up extending it by a good 50% … but it is now a much more usable space for me to expand my business in a way I hadn’t planned. Having reached retirement age, I was aiming for an easy life but the Universe had other plans.

So by the Spring Equinox, the works were largely completed and I’d also re-built my online business back to where it was before we moved out of the house back in March 2023. We’d even reinstated the solar panels and the eco-credentials of the house began to prove themselves.

The National Self Build and Renovation Centre even made a case study of what we’d done – we are the first people to have had two case studies on their site.

Definition of an Adytum Creatively, a new level of flow had been found too with a new level of confidence and surety. Around this time, I found myself creating, with others, a safe space to support fellow Insight Timer guides. This turned out to be a prescient move as in July, they changed the way that revenue could be earned and many, including me, felt the rug had been pulled from underneath us.

Collectively though, there was much knowledge and experience in the group and many embarked on developing alternative and augmentative sources of income. For me, it was the kick up the proverbial I didn’t know I needed.

Since around 2009, I had been harbouring the notion of creating an online school of alchemy. So I dusted off gigabytes of files on my hard drive around the Autumn Equinox, added loads of new content and, by the time of the Winter Solstice, The Adytum had arrived. While it kind of came from nowhere, the content for it has been created over the last 20 years or so.

It consists of two main areas : namely an Outer and Inner Sanctum. There’s a side area called The Scriptorium just for authors too.

The Outer Sanctum is a safe, introductory and exploratory space for those wanting to learn how to use alchemical keys to open the door to a blissful and magical life. The Outer Sanctum is in soft launch mode now, with an amazing introductory offer, and fully open on the first New Moon of 2025 on the 29th of January. There are even two free modules on healing and money alchemy for those who just want to sample some magic in their life – links below for these.

The Inner Sanctum is an invitation-only space for those wanting to teach others. This will be opening for acolytes on and around the Spring Equinox, with several modules in the Outer Sanctum being prerequisites for those wanting to awaken to another level again.

And just when that’s enough good news for anyone for any one year, I am also launching a TV channel on a new online station called NewRealityTV. More on this in next’s moonth’s blog …

Coming in for Landing

Coming in for Landing

Definition of an Adytum This is not quite the last blog of this year, as there’s another New Moon on the 30th December where I’ll be projecting out to 2025. 

Before I wrote this blog, I went back over all the blogs from the year and what a journey. We moved back into our eco-home and stopped house building and began a process of home making. 

Creatively, what a shift too. I first rebuilt my Insight Timer revenue back up to where it had been, only to discover in July that the rug was about to be pulled and I’d have to innovate my way around it.

This caused me first to think of bringing TheBookwright out of retirement which has now led me to create something I have been putting off for many years, if not many life times.

As a result, The Adytum, a school for contemporary alchemy, has just soft launched. The platform I am using, Thinkific, has loads of great resources and templates for growing such a community. This made me realise that although I excel at content creation, I could not let the marketing of the school be simply open to universal forces. After all the school teaches that we are the impetus and channel for such forces.

I am soft launching five modules now with two which are free, see below for more detail on these.

The outer sanctum will open early in January 2025 (with five more modules, so ten in total with the two free samplers) and then the inner sanctum will open for explorers in Spring 2025. 

See here for more details …

So I’m now busying myself in learning how to create landing pages and how to use sales funnels. This approach led me to find an amazing ally in this process and this interview tells some of this story.
