Leap of Faith: My Quest for Inner Peace

What’s the biggest risk you’d like to take — but haven’t been able to?


Okay, folks, let’s get real. I’ve been thinking… maybe it’s time to chuck it all. The rat race, the hustle and bustle, the daily grind. It’s exhausting! So, here’s a crazy idea: let’s start a meditation center. Imagine it: a tranquil oasis where people can escape the chaos, find their inner peace, and recharge their batteries. A place where young and old can come together to discover their true selves and step into the future with renewed confidence.


I’m talking about a real meditation haven, not one of those corporate-sponsored mindfulness retreats. This is going to be the ultimate chill zone. Think plush cushions, soothing music, and maybe even a few friendly llamas wandering around. (Okay, maybe the llamas are a bit much, but you get the idea.)


I’m not sure if I’m crazy or just incredibly brave, but I’m ready to take this leap of faith. Wish me luck (and maybe send me some positive vibes). After all, if I don’t jump off this cliff, how will I ever discover my wings?

Intention of a soul journey

What is your intention for the journey ahead?
Intention is a purposeful resolve to accomplish something. Intention binds will with passion. Intention = will x passion. If wil is not there or passion is leaving then there is no or little left of intention.
At the moment my life lacks intention in terms of specifics. But ever as a Rosicrucian student and Stoic philosopher my intent is self-mastery directed towards the service of humanity. My intent with the zodiac journey is growth and wholeness, communion with my own soul. I hope to take the contents of the zodiac journey and take it beyond mere mental contemplation into the sphere of having intimate communion with my soul. The zodiac tries to explain a complete view of full soul expression. By studying the zodiac of provides a means for alchemy to progress towards a marriage between sun and moon and a deeper understanding of being a spiritual being.
The student that endeavors to commune frequently with the soul will deepen his or her spiritual acumen, any topic may suffice but some topics are more effective than others. The zodiac offers lots for mental contemplation but also a firm basis for soul communion. So the intent is to be in dialog with the soul and learn to listen to the Master within… And living a beautiful life fully.
What could you actively do now to commit to that intention ?
Commitment is the firm resolve not to give up until something is achieved. A pact is created with self to persist. Commitment is will combined with persistence and determination. I can actively commit time every day for a set period of time to commune with my soul. Maybe a time to focus on each sign’s mantra and allowing it to develop its own pattern to come into existence. In a sense that step has already been taken. I can commit myself to finish the journey, to do all the exercises and to contemplate my progress on this journey.
What are you willing to risk in service of this quest?
Is there a price to big to pay to listen to the Master within? It is not worth a life, for life is needed for the pursuit. I am willing to risk time and commit time to this pursuit. I am willing to accept the risk that I might spend the time and find no real return. I accept that this is a solitary road and that I will not have anybody to share the experience with. I accept the risk that it can divorce me from other people. I am willing to sacrifice my own self perspective and to soften my view of who I think I am and allow myself to see me as I am with more honesty. I will take the risk of acting and behaving differently than what is my norm even if it might shock or confuse others.
