Big Picture
To shift what our thoughts and beliefs are made of, from fear to loving-kindness, we journey through the inner world along specific trails and by different modes of travel. Outer struggles that look different, like loneliness or weight, share one inner root, not knowing we are basically good, and this work is how to consciously create new identities closer to the truth.
- We need to dive into our minds, the architecture of them, in order to journey through the layers, in order to shift what thoughts and beliefs are made of - from fear to loving-kindness.
- How we travel along this journey involves
- The specific areas of the path we’re traveling now
- How we travel: walk, run, fly, teleportation (magic!)
- These pathways that you take (or don’t..) in the inner world of your mind will affect everything. For example - perhaps you are struggling with not having love in your life, or else you are struggling with your weight. Looks different out there (no partner or you’re not lean and fit). But, in the inner world they are the same. Not knowing that you are basically good underlies both of these.
- This is why it is so important to do this work - it will help you massively in your inner experience (experiencing more joy, love etc.) as well as your outer experience (healthy relationships, friends, money, career etc.)
- As you dissolve identities made from fear (difficult circumstances force us into the attempt at this) - what are you going to do now. Are you going to more deeply hide who you fear you are, or are you going to actively create new identities that are closer to the real truth rather than being closer to your fear monsters. Structured, conscious identity / personality creation. This work is how to do this.
The various ways that we can learn to travel through our inner world are the four dignities (these will be covered another day).
- Tiger: Learning to walk
- Snow Lion: Learning to run & jump
- Garuda: Learning to fly
- Dragon: Learning to teleport
In the following pages I cover four of the primary trails that most all of us must learn to find and to have the courage to walk and eventually run and fly along.

Trail 1: From knowledge to experienceHere's the first trail almost everyone has to find: from information-seeking to actually practicing. Ready to see what it looks like, what blocks it, and what opens when you walk it?
Trail 2: From Shame to JoyDifferent struggles out there — no love in your life, struggling with your weight — share one root in here: not knowing you are basically good. Let's go into the trail that walks you from shame all the way to joy.
Trail 4: From Escaping Reality to Creating RealityStop escaping what is, and start creating what you want. This trail is where you take your power back — let's walk it.
Four PathsWalking, running, flying, teleporting — these are the four ways you can travel the inner world. Let's meet them: Tiger, Snow Lion, Garuda, Dragon.
Path of TigerBefore we fly, or teleport, we learn to walk. Tiger is the first way through the inner world — for the days when everything is too much and one paw down is all there is. Let's learn to walk.
