This course is different from the usual self-development, personal transformation courses. This content isn't about self-improvement, being better, and making yourself happier. It's about understanding we live in a shallow kiddie pool. This content is about going deeper within to find something that is our inheritance, but that we have lost.
Some people spend their entire lives searching for the meaning of life.
They search for the answers to Big Questions like:
8 circuit yoga doesn’t provide the answers to the Big Questions. The course doesn’t tell you how to live or what to do with yourself. But it does provide an explanatory model and a process for how you can live a fuller life and find out some answers to the Big questions for yourself.
8 Circuit Yoga is a framework we can use to root our personalities in something deeper - doing so can transform our mundane lives, the Status Quo, into something transcendent. The series uses Dr. Timothy Leary and Robert Anton Wilson’s Eight Circuit Model as a starting point, then synthesizes their model with key learnings from C.G. Jung, Ram Dass, and others.
Transcending our mundane lives is possible. Being human is much more than the personal soap opera dramas that happens to us in the years between the body’s birth and death. It’s more than all the disastrous mess we hear about on the news. It’s more than increasingly shallow corporatized entertainment that we ingest on a daily basis. Life is certainly more than social media feeds. In this course our current way of living is called the Status Quo.
8 Circuit Yoga is a framework, or path, that can serve as a guide to understanding your subjective 1st person experience of the world.
