Also resonating with the point of the article too though. I set out to write a musical about consciousness many years ago and the piece started writing me instead.
Beautiful piece. I had to get smacked off my accomplish horse really hard, in the public arena no less, to be able to see how much I'd been relying on external validation to feel worthy. Coming through that identity reckoning was a multi-year very painful process, a gift wrapped in barbed wire. I used to call it the big Ordeal, but now call it the Initiation because I am so much happier, more comfortable in my own skin, and kinder. You've probably seen the movie Mr Holland's Opus, which is pretty lovely and in line with what you've shared here.
Hey there, I have no idea how your article ended up in my inbox (I've never even been on substack I don't think) or what made me read it but what you mentioned of your book reminded me of the book Vedanta Treatise by Swami A. Parthasarathy. If you haven't heard of him or others like my buddy like James Beshara on his podcasts The Daily Vedantic, you should check them out. I think the paradigms they talk about would be really helpful in your search. I look forward to reading your book!
Laughed so hard at “and even looking like a bro” 😂🤣👍

Beautiful! This resonated with me deeply as I am trying to tread the same water (again) Ty for this!
