award winning stuntman Curtis River (http://curtisrivers.com)s author of The Fearless Path.
Curtis as you and our listening audience have discovered Sheryl and her
guests seek to share intimate revelations and experiences of
metaphysical origins to understand the duality of our human and
energetic aspects and thereby ultimately recognizing that we are more
than we seem and life offers us the opportunity to remember truly who we
are, have always been, and will always be.
In today’s episode of Healing From Within Curtis will share a mystical
mountainous trek to unlock the secrets to eliminating the fears that
hold most of us back and to discover the clues that guide us to create a
life of purpose fulfillment and unlimited success sharing his truthful
exploration of Self and his gratitude for living the life he envisioned
as a young boy.
Curtis thinks back to his childhood and remembers how he always wanted
to travel and try adventuresome feats and to help people, and he
believes his grandmother expressed her joy in traveling and may have
ignited that spark within him to reach out in new ways and to explore
the world in its beauty and grandness. He thinks back to the time he was
twenty two and had never left the U.K. as summer vacations were always
in England not too far from where his family lived. Neither of his
parents could drive so the family used buses or trains. The holidays
were always good and it never occurred to Curtis that they were poor and
lacking anything. Not long after the Romanian Revolution Curtis decided
to get in his Citroen Visa fill the car with life-saving medical
supplies and drive overland from England to Romania where he would stop
when he reached the Black Sea. He had no money but held the image in his
mind of arriving in Constanta with the medical supplies. Curtis traveled
with Sven an older guy he’d met at a local Family History Center run by
a church. Curtis knew he was a former manic depressive, on medication,
and thought the trip would be good for him. Curtis had a clear plan for
achieving his mission and within a few days they had enjoyed the diverse
cultures of five different countries, from western France and Holland,
to the snow capped mountains of Austria. They had the grace and help of
strangers and also some extremely dangerous encounters. Curtis gives a
good description of some of the problems he encountered in dealing with
his traveling partner Sven and his discovery that it is indeed at times
overwhelming to deal with the many challenges of mental illness, poor
choices, and the consequences from from those choices. Curtis returned
home a month after he left a completely changed person. That is the
power of transformation good, bad, whatever happens, is all necessary
for growth and soul maturity.
Curtis book relates in descriptive and powerful messaging the mountain
trek he made and talks of what he learned from a wise man or guide
Pierce who did more than merely led him up the mountain.
Pierce was a wise welcoming man who likened this wonderful gift of life
to a shipwreck and Curtis wrote what he shared with him, ”You see he
continued, “We are born into this life like the survivors of a sunken
ship who wake up the next morning adrift on the ocean with their fellow
passengers. Carried like corks upon the water, we drift with the ebb and
flow of the tides, at the mercy of where nature takes us. Like everyone
else we accept our lot and hope beyond hope that we will reach dry land
before it is too late. Most people do not realize that all they have to
do is swim away from the others….Save yourself, Swim away with your
