spiritual nomad Luke Bricker

Joseph Campbell famously made popular the Hero's Journey, which is the spiritual journey. While it is more intricate that this, it can be seen in 3 phases (not always sequential, but usually): - Departure (from the known) - Initiation (in the unknown) - Return (contribution to the once known with unique experience, wisdom, and maturity gained from initiation) Each of us, if we accept it, are on a hero's journey. But many don't accept it. Or they begin and out of fear retreat to the known. But if you are on the spiritual journey, you are being called to become the fullness of who you are, not so that "you" can be great, but that you can be a beneficial presence to the collective through your individual lived experience. Most on the spiritual path thinks it's only about them, it's about being the vehicle in which God embodies for healing, wholeness, and transformation of the world. Be curious. Be courageous. Be a gift.

The shift is coming, but can you wait well? So often we rush things or become nihilistic. How can we live counter-culturally and BE in the in-between? For me, I'm often reminded of 3 points from a sermon I preached years ago. First, handle practical matters diligently and with mindfulness. Second, devote yourself to the ritual of spiritual practices. Third, commit yourself to community and getting outside of yourself through selfless service. Even though I was in a much different place theologically when I created that, it stand the test of time for a grounding way to live through seasons of waiting. Hope it helps you too.

Alan Watts appeared to me in a dream and began to speak about a popular passage in the Bible where Jesus talks about the wide road that leads to destruction and the narrow road that leads to life. Alan encouraged me that the narrow path is supposed to be unique, unknown and insecure at times... it's a narrow path! It's not going to be familiar. The familiar path is the wide path. And that path requires you to betray your True Self, i.e., destruction. Trust your unique path and flow with each season as it unfolds.

Many Christians use the language of being “born again” but clearly don’t embody the true essence of spiritual awakening, which is the true mystic meaning of being born again. Enlightenment comes from being born from above. Jesus understood this, religious people usually don’t. P.S. this isn't a new idea; The contemplative Christian tradition has known this for hundreds of years.
