Hey all, I'm not much of a poster in here, more of a lurker most days but I just finished up my debut novel and I wanted to post about it quickly. To be clear, this is NOT a self-promo.

The Threads of Awakening model and its impact
Trust and surrender in the spiritual journey
Navigating spiritual ego and its pitfalls
Psychedelics as tools
Embracing the unknown and the ...

My "Inner Child" is fine.... well except for that hell realm called "Public Education."
It's my inner adolescent that needs reconciliation. He did eventually repent of all his horrible shit after all!
Sounds like scientists have discovered ME!
