Tim Corcoran - Purpose, Prayer and The Vision Quest
Tim Corcoran is a Nature Based Purpose Guide and the founder of Purpose Mountain.He is a certified Purpose Whisperer. For a long time, I cringed whenever I saw people use this word.

I felt something deep inside, ringing with energy and bursting with potential, held in a sense of knowingness that felt more solid than the chair I'm sitting on.

Transcending the Ordinary on the Archetypal Hero's Journey (Dialogues #4)
What would life be like if we could transcend the ordinary? Now this journey isn’t for the faint of heart. This is a Hero’s Journey of cataclysmic proportions. Undoing, overriding, and re-learning decades of distilled and conditioned socio-cultural programming is no small feat. But on the other side awaits beauty, wonder, and experiences far beyond our present imagining. This is why HighExistence came into being. To serve as a portal, through which the initiates pass, into a world of wisdom and wonder. As we take an evolutionary step...

East Forest is a man of many talents. Composer, explorer, facilitator, innovator, digital shaman — the list goes on.

The Multi-Colored Dress - Revelations on Shame & the Shadow Self
We all have them. Dark thoughts. Nasty things we want to say. Things we’ve done that we are ashamed of. We keep these parts of ourselves in hiding, but what if keeping THEM in hiding is also keeping US in hiding? What if our freedom is found in the shadows? Today’s episode of Self Discovery dives deep into what the shadow self is and the reason it is imperative we set it free.www.jaclynsteele.comIG: www.instagram.com/jaclynsteeleYouTube: youtube.com/officialjaclynsteeleArticle referenced in podcast: https://highexistence.com...

Completely. Particularly if you dive super deep into process, you can fundamentally transform. And with that brings a whole different life; a whole different set of goals; a whole different personality structure; a whole different set of problems and challenges that you face.

It has to be sustainable. You could have a productivity system of working 72 hours straight at the beginning of the week and get everything done. Cool, you can do that but you're probably going to last two weeks, tops. This is a long marathon. I think the best way to conceptualize it is as a marathon of sprints. So you sprint—you work really hard on something—you stop, you rest, you reassess, you analyze, you improve, and then you sprint again. Fundamentally if that whole arc is not sustainable in the long run, you're just going to crash and...
