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 …

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.

… you can see what we did here

Tatton Two

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.

Foot off the Gas

Foot off the Gas

Again I find that my ‘real’ life is emulating my art … or vice versa.

We are/have just acquired our first fully electric car to go along with our existing hybrid. The existing car has all-wheel-drive so will only be used for treacherous conditions and long drives, not that we do many of those nowadays. So largely, fed from our solar panels, or cheap rate electricity, we will be using very little gas as we pootle around.

Art-wise, I am experimenting with a less-might-lead-to-more approach.

Thankfully my new Soulwaves TV programme has been put back to Autumn as Ethereal aren’t quite ready. I am grateful for this as I really need to create a more professional studio space with better lighting, audio damping and a more professional background.

… but you can at least watch the introductory episode here

Tom and Louisa Soulwaves Introduction

So I’ll continue trickling content out to Insight Timer each month until the end of the year … when everything changes in 2025:

  • a series of TimefulTasks, all timefully 2m22s or 3m33s long
  • a meditation a month on the Just for Today theme
  • a short story in the form of a meditale (narration and audio combined)
  • an ambient track a month
  • something more meaty for IT Premium in the form of short stories or maybe novellas

And just started using a new audio embedding tool so I can share what I published on Insight Timer last moonth …

And this interview with fellow Insight Timer guide, Lou Redmond, went live too (and a shed load more lined up for next moonth) :

Connecting Above to Below

Connecting Above to Below

As we approach the Summer Solstice, there have been many strings pulled in the Density from the Void. The Council of the Light have been busy.

There’s a new TV channel about to launch with a focus on metaphysics called Ethereal.tv. My great friend, Louisa Tanner Munson, was initially invited to it, along with Carl Munson, her erudite husband and fabulous show host. They both recommended me to the channel’s progenitors, Will Rodriquez and Karen Endsley. 

A brief chat was all that was needed for them to want me to launch a show and for me to go for it. The title they suggested was fab, It’s Not Bonkers, but after finding myself procrastinating about it, I realised that it is to be called soulwaves : connecting above to below.

It’s going to be an exploration of all things metaphysical with a whole raft of guests helping me make the esoteric into the exoteric – and launching later this moonth.

It’s quite an undertaking as I will be producing a one hour show every week but it’s such an opportunity to get even more global reach than I am already getting through Insight Timer. I was though feeling a new challenge was needed as I have been far too complacent and comfortable with my creative output.

That said, I am thrilled to have published three new courses on Insight Timer on the Flavours of Thought in the last three moonths alone.

In addition, from June onwards, I am also starting to write, record and publish a series of follow on courses on the Recipes for Fresh Thinking – which are essentially modern day spells. This will lead into another series of courses inspired by the Minor Arcana and based on my book on the subject, Planes of Being.

The ability to cross-fertilise my Ethereal shows with Insight Timer materials is immense as the shows can feature sample meditations and go into more depth as there is no restriction on imagery and of course video content. This means my Magnum Opus can truly be shared with the world now.

You’ll find links to the Flavours of Thought courses below … and I’ll post shows as they go live on Ethereal on my front page.

Flavours of Thought

This first course explores thought forms that emanate from outside of our neurology. These are the stuff of light bulb moments and the source and fuel for our creativity. If you have ever had an idea ‘off the top’ of your head, you will have heard a whisper already.

Flavours Of Thought #2

This second course in the series explores thought forms that percolate up from our lower mind centres. Pay attention to them and you will never put a foot out of kilter. Ignore them and you may end up pushing water uphill.

Insertions 7-12

This third course explores thought forms that are generated in our brain that are seeded from ethereal whisper and unconscious murmurs. You will also get a sample taster of a Recipe for Fresh Thinking.
