The reason why life's mysteries are mysteries is because the truth comes to those who are closer to their own core (or spirit). The more connected you are to yourself, the more you are connected to the stream of consciousness that is all-knowing.

The more disconnected you are, the more layers of illusion (perception filters) you need to permeate to get to the core. This is the reason why certain individuals have some amount of information but not all of it, depending on how closely they are connected to their own beingness. The more layers they can surpass, the greater initiation they get into the realm of truth.

The more willing you are to be open to what unfolds, instead of glorifying your self-image, the more initiation you will receive. If you stay stuck in that level, you may still have knowledge to share based on a certain level of initiation that you have achieved, but be unable to bypass that level unless you let go of that loop.

There is a certain degree of selflessness to by-pass that loop. (By selflessness, I mean giving up on attachments to fixed ideas about yourself and choosing your authentic expression, whatever that may be, even if it causes you to lose credibility or triggers your shadows.)

There are in this world certain teachers who have achieved a higher degree of initiation to the truth, however they have halted their journey and can't get beyond a certain point unless they integrate their shadow side, which is one difficult feat to do.

The only ones who reach to the core are the ones who don't mind being fluid in their identity and choose to connect to what feels most authentic in the moment to them on a core level.

Hence, we are ever-evolving in our quest towards the truth and every time you encounter a block or dead-end on your path, it's time for rebirth of your mind into a new,

Part 14 of "The Wilderness Years"! Where we are covering the period between Marvel Two-In-One Annual 2 and Silver Surfer 34, when both Adam and Thanos were "dead"! Covering all of their flashbacks, cameos and cosmic events that will eventually lead us to The Infinity Gauntlet!

Ren Chandler came back again (they are a glutton for punishment!) to talk about Silver Surfer #1-5 as we start to cover one of the last stories involving the Soul Gems before they are rebranded forever as the Infinity Gems (until they are rebranded again as the Infinity Stones).
