Wholeness is not something we achieve. Wholeness is what we already are. Our individual and collective journeys to realize and retrieve a connection with our own inner wholeness is a journey of re-remembering that which we have forgotten, that which we have lost sight of. Much of the first part of life consists of ego-building; learning to skills, trying new things, and figuring out our own identities as we grow and develop. At some point, the call changes in our lives, away from ego-building and back into re-remembering the full essence and truth of our individual selves...the truth of our original wholeness as human beings.

Living in a world that feels as though it could not be more polarized, introducing the concept of balancing the tension of the opposites feels more crucial than ever. This episode investigates the purpose of learning to balance these tensions and why that is important to us as individuals and as communities. The Trickster motif will be introduced to observe the crucial role it often plays at luring us into these stories of tension that lie within, and how these tensions get projected outwardly into our world.

In an effort to recognize and embrace the sanctity of living stories, as well as the sanctity of the human individual, this episode explores the nature of the different parts of the human psyche as well as the different stories of ourselves those parts are carrying for us. In addition, I reintroduce the concept of the human Shadow, and why it is important to understand its nature and role in our lives as we learn to see and work with more of our own hidden stories.
