Product Information

No purpose or place. We have no Great War. No Great Depression. Our Great War is a spiritual war, our Great Depression is our lives.”

There will always be a way to make things and ourselves better, as long as there is access to at least one of them. There are also methods and protocols shared, confessions of actual people having tested them, and the whispered promise of personal growth that one can self-mediate (in one's own space and day-to-day). Full Book Name: Recapture the Rapture: Rethinking God, Sex, and Death in a World That’s Lost its Mind The middle section, The Alchemist Cookbook, applies the creative firm IDEO’s design thinking to the meaning crisis. This is where the book gets hands on - taking a look at the strongest evolutionary drivers that can bring about inspiration, healing, and connection. From breathing, to movement, sexuality, music, and substances - these are the everyday tools to help us wake up, grow up, and show up. AKA - how to blow yourself sky high with household materials. And the best part? They’re accessible, by anyone anywhere, no middleman required. Transcendence democratized. Music only recently separated from physical movement. Believed to predate written language. First artifacts are always music instruments Notice which persona feels most true for you. The Hedonist values pursuing the fullest range of experience possible. The Purist values sanctity of mind and body. The Conformist values expert advice and evidence. If we can integrate these three orientations, we’ll be stronger and more effective technicians of the sacred.

When will this second coming of Christ and our being gathered to him occur? The best answer we can give with any certainty is that it will be at the end of this age. In Matthew 24:3 Jesus’ disciples ask about Jesus coming and the end of the age. Jesus’ response to their question culminates with the passage mentioned above with Jesus’ return and our being gathered to him. EMBODIMENT: pain and suffering have an ancient relationship to healing and people have been decoupling what they feel physically from what they experience emotionally. Humans are unique in being able to hot-wire pain to experience pleasure and healing. While we cannot manage the amount of pain that we are subjected to in life, we can choose to meet pain on purpose and with intention, and it’s this that appears to be the key. As much as we might dance around it, or seek to repress out core physicality, it is an essential and unavoidable part of the human experience. This is a book about a big idea. And the idea is this: Slowly over the past few decades, and now suddenly, all at once, we’re suffering from a collapse in Meaning. Fundamentalism and nihilism are filling that vacuum, with consequences that affect us all. In a world that needs us at our best, diseases of despair, tribalism, and disaster fatigue are leaving us at our worst.
