I'll start with where we are right now. The map that I'll use is this birthing process, this kind of profound transition that we're going through, where the old narratives, the old story, the old mythology is wearing thin, beginning to fall apart.

To observe and watch one's own mind is something really interesting. The untrained mind will run and follow its old habit patterns.
