The Hero's Journey
04 — Threshold 1: Entering the Special World
An Original Exploration · 2010
We experience life in what this exploration calls the normal world of 3D (three-dimensional space and time). But what else might be possible? If you follow the intuitive call and step over the first threshold (“No Going Back”), you may begin to experience what this exploration calls the SPECIAL WORLD.
The special world may be difficult to perceive when doubt or fear is present. In this exploration, entering it can involve loosening old assumptions; the process may unfold gently, at its own pace.
Don't expect things to happen too quickly, but stay open to what may appear. Some people describe an automatic pull on the journey, as though the BIGGER part of them knows more than the lower conscious self and asks them to get out of the way and let things FLOW. Others liken the process to an elevator, moving at a slow, acceptable pace, or to shifting sand, with change arriving in waves. If that is your experience, life may seem to unfold bit by bit over weeks, months and years.
In this exploration, the special world is a way of imagining the relationship between inner and outer, the unmanifest and manifest, the uncreated and material. It may feel magical, non-linear, as though time and space fall away and creation and manifestation become visible. Synchronicities may seem to arise there, and the inner and outer may feel seamlessly connected. Perhaps this is the KINGDOM.
