Falling Into Soul

Did I just make a trailer for this podcast after two years of doing this podcast? Yeah, I guess that checks out. It usually takes me awhile of doing something important before I understand it enough to say what it is.
Such is the way of soul. You don't have to understand the magic for it to be happening. And I'm getting so much better and letting it happen and seeing what happens.
With love and deep thanks for being here,

Ep. 31 To Be a Mystic--so F*cked and So Beautiful

To be a mystic means to want One Thing more than any other of the things. Mystics have an intense and unyielding desire to know and unite with the divine, god, love, beauty, soul, truth, the core of all cores in this life, not in any other life or time. And so, they willingly burn through the fire of any moment to find it.
This is why I say mystics are so fucked and so blessed. The mystic heart can't settle for anything less than what it knows it's here to be and do--what can't be said in words or seen in ways the world immediately understands. And it won't stop until you've given your whole life to find it.
Let's explore the three desires of the mystic that eclipse all other desires:

  1. To unite with god, the divine, heaven in this life, not any other life or time
  2. To align the inner with the outer world
  3. To be a gateway between the worlds

These desires are actualized through the thread of longing that pulls our lives inside out. Sometimes disruptively. Sometimes quietly.
"Longing is the golden thread that takes us home." -Llewelyn Vaughn Lee
But what is "home" to a mystic and how does the Great Work of alchemy intersect with the mystic's journey home?

With all the love in my mystic human heart,

Ep. 32 Connecting With Your Innate Worth (It's Complicated)

Why is it sooo hard to connect with the worth that is inherent in our existence? Why isn't awakening to our true nature, to our spiritual and creative gifts enough to heal this wound and actualize our inherent worth?
And why do I have such issues with how we use the words "deserve" and "worthy" in the trendy spiritual lexicon?
Let's explore.
In this episode:

  • Where the worthiness wound originates (bigger than personal trauma)
  • One of the biggest obstacles to connecting with core worth that I've observed in us spiritually awakened humans
  • How the final stages of alchemy--the Dark Nights of the Spirit and Distillation help deliver us from the madness of always having to prove our worth
  • More exploration of the Philosopher's Stone/the Unbreakable Core

With love for the outliers,
McCall

Falling Into Soul - Welcome to Falling Into Soul (If You Can't Help It)

Transcript

I spent the first half of my life failing. And not failing at frivolous things either. But failing at meaningful endeavors. Things that I thought were my purpose, my passion, my reasons for being alive. How can you be born for something, so meant for it, and yet, fail at actualizing it in any real and enduring way? This confused me for many years.

No matter how many times I tried to fulfill what I thought was my purpose, I kept being pulled along by something more mysterious. Something a
