Thank you for being the steward of something beautiful.
I received that from a recent supporter via Patreon. I receive lots of comments like this actually, and it does spiritually fuel me to receive them. It keeps me in the game when I do not want to be in the game. I looked at The Stoa’s Patreon account this morning, and it is pretty poppin’ eh. The coaching practice is pretty poppin’ as well. Generally speaking, spiritual business is doing well at The Stoa.
I do not know what to do next though. I am sort of confused, and was feeling some deep ennui last night. There was a moment I felt pretty empty actually. Nothing really felt worthwhile to pursue, and there was a general lack of excitement about things. I do not really know what to do for the “Maybe the End of The Stoa Party,” but I have to do something, or put more accurately: I feel called to do something, something other than just ending this place, or just continuing spiritual business as usual.
It does not feel like the right move to end The Stoa yet. It also feels like something needs to happen here to keep me in this game. I was driving with Camille yesterday, and we were talking about this dilemma. An exciting thought did emerge. I do not know if that thought will be the one to manifest, but the thought did have a daemonic sense about it. When one of my thoughts has a daemonic sense, things tend to manifest.
So let’s go make it manifest.
I just got out of a “Stealing the Culture with Dialogos” session at The Stoa about awakening with Daniel M. Ingram, Michael Taft, Frank Yang, and Evan McMullen. It was awesome. The Stoa is awesome. This place is poppin’ again. The hype is on the way. I can sense it. This is nothing to get excited about though. To repurpose that Spiderman quote: with great hype comes great responsibility.
The Stoa will have a presence on Clubhouse soon. I finally caved in this weekend and went on, and was unimpressed with the events I saw. Is this Clubhouse thing all hype? There were all of these corny marketing and networking events. And the events I was listening in on were boring as fuck. Good. An opportunity for a daemonically possessed Stoic. The place is begging for conversational artists to hold space for new conversations, ones that are in service to stealing the culture. The place can definitely serve as a wormhole to something new.
So let’s go to something new.
I was talking to Schuyler Brown today, she strikes me as a good midwife of emergence. I was telling her that I do not know how I got here. I do not know what is going on really. Like, really, what is happening? Can I go back to normal now? That normie life, where it felt like I was trapped in a 9-to-5 for life while numbing myself on poor eating habits coupled with Netflix bingeing. No. Unfortunately or fortunately, that life is not available to me anymore. I am here now, moving intuitively, faster than I can think, and that feels like the right way to move.
I was called to listen to No Cars Go by Arcade Fire, mainly because I wanted to hear Win Butler say “let's go” a few times at the end. He ended the song with the following: Don't know where we're going. Yeah. We do not know where we’re going.
So let’s go.
