NON-JOBS SEMINAR NOTESELLIOTT HULSE LECTURE #1Theme = The Heroes JourneyLast phase is The Return Home

When you go through challenges, have successes, easy to get stuck in Liminal phase

When you come out with Elixir That Will Restore the World:Everyone's an asshole

Try to go out, they think you're an asshole

Someone caring, pulls you out

There are phases along this journey

1. When you look around and things are not working out = Shit Hitting the FanYou get woken up - The Call to Adventure

You hate yourself, the world, don't know what going on

Easy to get STUCK here

You can feel the power within, but you look around and the inside/outside don't match

Initiation is the overarching principle of the Hero's JourneyLife is NOT linear, it consistently smacks you back down so you can get up again

When shit hit's the fan it's because the universe has expectations for youCan look at it and say Damn, life's hard, woah OR

You must have a lot of faith in me

Like a barbell that is JUST too heavy to lift

Being a victim of your circumstance or not is a CHOICE

2. Next would be finding a ritual elderIn this day and age will come in MANY forms

DVD set, Book, Videos

These produce what are called AHA Moments

Recognize these as quantum leaps in consciousness

You are literally growing stronger, different person in that moment

3. Next is Trial and Tribulations

4. Next is SuccessThings are hard, if you keep at it, and keep the right perspectives it comes full circle

Must put yourself in the flow of nature if we get out of the wa, it'll take us where we need to go

What is a cherry without the cupcake

Become the strongest version, AND inspire (empower) others to do the same

Inhalation & exhalation THE balance, just put yourself into said flow

Take all that you have grown (power, sense of being, what you love/ have nourished) and your cup spilleth over

Power comes in the form of money today

Money is metaphysical power

TECHNOLOGY IS LITERAL MAGIC

If your actions are of the wrong sentiment, it'll show up in your magic

BRANCH #1 THE WAY OF INITIATIONLIFE IS INITIATIONCrisis OR Opportunity:Awareness of the Archetype of InitiationArchetype = metaphysical patterns that recur throughout mankind

This archetype is GOING TO HAPPEN

Whether or not you are the form or not, it'll happen to someone else

Archetypes show up ALL THE TIME in unconscious patterns of activity

Acknowledged? Respected? Facilitated?Our ancestors had rituals to support the process

Ceremonies are what's left of what was the initiation of the CULTURE/TIME

Initiation MUST match the needs of the CULTURE/TIME

Killing a lion won't help you serve anyone in this day/age

Physical & Metaphysical:P: Learning to Walk

MP: Expansion of Consciousness

When there's a physical change (circumstances/biology), there's also a shifti n consciousness

MACRO: Stages of Life:Childhood Exp

Adolescence

Early Adulthood

Middle Adulthood

Late Adulthood

Big stages that are identified by physical markers representing the change going on within

MICRO: Events/Circumstances:What to wear?

Should I say hello?

Should I ask her out?

Should I kiss her?

Should I wear a condom?

Should I marry her?

PHASES OF INITIATIONPre-liminal (Profane Life 1) NORMAL LIFEAnxious, restless, overly sensitive, dissatisfied w/ social location and status, depressed

The Call to Adventure - Campbell

Crisis (Shit hits the fan)

Liminal (Sacred space) TOTAL CONFUSION ABOUT SELF AND VALUESSubmissive, resigned, autonomy relinquished, power of personal agency disregarded, degradation mechanics accepted

Descent into the zone of magnified power - Campbell (Every choice made is magnified)

Grief process, unemployment

Post-liminal (Profane Life 2) A STRONGER MORE INTEGRATED VERSION OF MYSELFExhaled, personal status enhanced and dramatized, sense of autonomy re-appropriated, powers of personal agency reaffirmed

Return with the elixir that will restore the world - Campbell

Reintegration, adaption to new MORE situation

You can be in different phases in diferent areas of your life

Until you balance ALL (KWML) you're not truly balanced

Don't be attached to image of what you want to be doingWe as a species wil be far more advanced (technology = magic) giving rise to many new options, be open to possibilities

INITIATION REQUIREMENTSSacred SpacePhysical/Metaphysical/Both?

Holding one is as simple as allowing yourself to receive something as sacred

Something becoming sacred is a choice regardless of if it actually is

Place/Object/Mantra/Behavior/Attitude/High powered water/Metaphysical space of meditation and permission and self love

Mentor OR ElderWe all need help

You must allow yourself to submit to a trusted elder as he will hold your sacred space and facilitate the initiation process

Your mentor ISN'T someone there right now pointing you along the way with his hand on your back

It comes in the form of info, ideas, circumstances resourceful for the direction you're going

Initiation ProcessSpecific to dominant culture and the individual

Killing a lion doesn't make sense in time/age

OUR PROCESS is becoming healthy (mentally/physically - strongest version of ourselves)

3 requirements for successful initiation:You've decided that you want something different for your life. You know that freedom is of the highest value to you, and you know you need money You know you need a NONJOBHow, when, what why we want and to LOVE it

Core values aligned with attitude aligned with vision

Someone comes along and SINGs the exact song you need to hear. They become one of many mentors you will meet on your journey

This mentor begins your initiation by sharing a process with you, creating space for your growth, and being there as a guide while you get your footingActually DO the THING instead of letting it stop at the head

There's no process in the head

Take note of names and give grititude not necessarily the FORM but the ARCHETYPE moving through that person
