The Descent Into Illumination

Hey there Traveler, I hope you are doing well. Its interesting how when you keep moving forward sometimes you stumble across a new patch and your like dam wait a moment have I been here before? No, no I haven't but that bush looks familiar as fudge. In this episode we are going to talk about that changing relationship with out body and specifically Body Image/ Body Dysmorphia. Fair warning the lan...

Hey There Traveler,  Its been a minute I know and apologies that this is not the freshest of episodes. But nonetheless it is a fantastic stop on the path as life as the host of ACOT joins us for a good ol fashioned existential crisis and we try to take a moment to reflect on our current spiritual understandings with the existential crises society  is seemingly facing on a daily basis.&nb...

Traveler, so happy you could make it here with us. Today we mark the beginning of the journey by acknowledging where we are on the path, well not simply where we are on the path but what the Path is. We are hoping this stop along the rice paddies help establish a langue for our shared descent. All music is credited to @BAMF, they are an amazing artist please support them.

Hello Traveler, today Nathaniel going Jared on his ACOT ( A Cup Of Tea) podcast. In it they discuss one of the greatest question we can ponder on this descent. Alien, da fudge they at?

Hey, they traveler how are you? we are.... well let's just say we are! FINALLY, Brandon and Nathaniel found each other after getting lost off path in a corn maze organized by Osmosis Jones! But I think we can all agree that right now the path is pretty hard and treacherous. There are a lot of pit falls and traps in this world right now and everyone is feeling it. So, this episode is about none of...

In preparing for next week's episode Brandon and Nathaniel get together to discuss who would be in Woodstock if it was held in 2022. In our hearts we all know the headliner for it would be BAMF. Thank you for giving us such a wonderful soundtrack to wonder down this path with. And thank you listener for taking a break with us as we sit at the campfire plotting our next steps, reflecting on a fun t...

Bumbling through the dark Brandon and Nathaniel look back on a shared individual experience. Looking back on a time on the path that was both a pinnacle experience and a stepping stone towards larger growth. Oh to be young and dumb. How living the trope shaped us. music credit to BAMF please support them here: New tab (bandcamp.com) . 

Hello and welcome back as we now step into the Path that brings us down into the Cave in the pursuit of Illumination. It has been a while, but we welcome you to this creation from Harris and Harris Stories at Law. This is the forward to the chapter on this shared created space as we walk the road down together. A personal thanks to BAMF and his amazing work for music can be found and supported her...

We end this week our miniseries with Jared. It has been a wonderful story telling experience listening to the challenges and struggles of just some dude. Jared is like you, me and himself. Someone who is simply doing what they can with what they know and what they got. He is working on growing and making a positive impact in the world, all while discovering who he is. Though this is the end of the...

In the continuing narrative with our guest Star Jared we discuss what growing social need is not being met on his development. Though he has continued to advance in many avenues such as with his professional career and academics, there still just something that's not quite there. This is the growth of someone who choose to pursue romantic pursuit with our regard to societies timing pressure. 

Continuing the conversation today with Jared, we begin to talk about motivation. how he has begun to create a path forward following his own destiny of choice. dealing with logic vs. having the heads in the clouds. It's time to take a look at what made Jared choose his path forward and how he began to walk his own path. 

Beginning a new mini series, Nathaniel begins to interview a long time friend. This is the story of an individual who had everything set up for him to succeed, discovered growing up and becoming an adult has a lot more challenges and trails than a teenager who thinks he knows everything is prepared for. 

Combing back this week with the continuing conversation with a special guest host of The Descent. In this week we dive into long tern sustainable change, divine timing, using the full power of the lexicon, and how the kink community helps create sustainable healthy boundaries. 

So what does it mean to rediscover who you are. At any time in life you are able to look within and acknowledge and change. That is where we find ourselves in our conversation with this episodes honored guest. Listen is as we begin to look at how an individual can choose a new path. 

What does it mean to be a brat? Can we break this chair? Can someone who was one of the causes of a moment of trauma enter recovery? All questions potentially answered on this episode. 

After months of conversation the first interview in a new mini series on The Descent is here. In this episode the story of inter-generational trauma, a peak behind the closed door of undisclosed mental challenges, and the very beginning of a light of hope. Our guest opens up about her story on what its like to face constant toxic environments until finally reaching a breaking point and deciding to...

From birth to birthdays too broken remotes this week has been full of enticing opportunities for emotional expression. Take a listen as I butcher the magnitude of the week I just experienced.

So this episode is partially to make up for last weeks. I know I shorted you so now you got 30 minutes of listening to my beautiful voice, yay. This episode is chaotic so no worries if its a struggle to follow along. Basically the past few days I could not decide on a topic to talk about and every day I would think of different things or want to talk about something new so that became today's epis...

Okay this episode is not the best audio quality, but this might be the most important episode in the release of this show, It involves my new son Toast. That's right we adopted a new fur baby, what as this episode gets derailed to the point where I can not continue recording. So I included a segment of BAMF music at the end for some Lofi Vibe.

This is the brief story of how doing my homework while watching a game of entertainment became one of my strongest tools of practicing mindfulness on a day to day basis. It is simply amazing how random life events can synchronize and create different branches in life. 

So after a month of taking some time to adjust to my quickly changing life I finally have another episode recorded. In this one its really just dipping my feet back into the water and talking about some of the recent changes and adjustments I have made to this collective experience. 

So a lot has happened in my life recently, These changes will be talked about in episodes to come. But I needed to take time to heal my mental state and adjust to some of these changes. This is an episode I recorded a few weeks ago and It seems fitting to release now. Its nothing I havent talked about, but Its a crucial subject matter to me. 

So I still can't control and force people to change even if it is for healthy growth. I'm not some brutal dictator who has that power over others, however in the case introspection I do have the ability to change one person, myself. I don't even need to be a brutal dictator to do it! Now I can't just completely change who I am on the spot but in any moment I can begin to change by doing small litt...

I’m someone who believes very firmly that every moment of every day is a spiritual experience. By no means do I have a legitimate understanding of what higher works cause this reality to manifest in the shape it does. But every once and a while you come across a series of events that make you give yourself a reality check.

Since I was oh I don't know in fourth grade I have used glasses to correct my blurry vision. These glasses are a valuable tool that help me function on a day to day basis and live a happy and successful life. Similar to glasses when I experience emotional triggers they can be used to be a powerful tool to help me grow and life a fulfilling life. Twitter: @intothedescent . Email: thedescentinto@gam...
