This is a very dense summary of the mechanics of my position. I have been working on it in various forms since 1996. I am currently writing the full manuscript that unpacks this and the course material into an 80k word book. I wanted to share it here and get feedback and answer any questions you may have 🙂

The self is a habit. Habits can be interrupted. Ordinary waking consciousness operates from a single, fixed perspective. The one looking out through these eyes, from this history, with these preferences and these fears. That perspective feels like the only available one because it is the one the Default Mode Network continuously reinstates. It is not the only available one. It is the habitual one. The 25 Perspectives Practice is a structured contemplative exercise built on a simple insight: self-identification is a process, not a fact. By moving awareness deliberately through 25 distinct perspectives in sequence, the conviction that the habitual perspective is the real one begins to loosen. Not through dissolution but through multiplication. The decoder discovers it can operate from more positions than it believed available.

Every human being walks around inside a story they didn’t write. Not metaphorically. Literally. Your nervous system isn’t a camera — it’s an editor. Before a single image reaches conscious awareness, your brain has already cut 99% of available sensory data, cross-referenced what remains against a library of prior experience, and handed you the result labeled reality. What you’re calling the world is a perspective wearing the mask of fact. This is why two people can stand in the same room, watch the same conversation unfold, and leave with completely different accounts of what happened — and both be telling the truth as they received it. There is no view from nowhere. There is only the view from here — from this body, this wound, this wonder, this particular configuration of everything that has ever happened to you. The implications are staggering. If perspective generates the narrative, and narrative generates the felt sense of what is real, then changing your perspective isn’t just a psychological technique — it’s a cosmological act. You are literally altering the universe you inhabit. Most of us never examine the lens. We argue about what we see, never asking what kind of glass we’re looking through. The contemplative traditions knew this. Every serious inner practice — meditation, shadow work, psychedelic inquiry, somatic awareness — at its core is doing the same thing: making the invisible lens visible. Catching yourself in the act of constructing the story before you’ve mistaken the construction for the ground. The moment you see the perspective, you are no longer entirely inside it. That gap — between the seeing and the seen — is where freedom lives.

The course material could be consumed in a day or two if you just read the modules as an intelectual pursuit. But that is not the aim of the community. The goal is to create the body (and mind) as a vessel ready to open up to more of the signal the universe is trying to give to you. The familar analogy is we are a radio transceivers but we only tune into a tiny part of the 'universal mind broadcast' and generally it is our own radio station on repeat LOL. We have heard this personal narrative for as long as we can remember. What other broadcast options are out there? As holographic information processors what information can I detect? Stanislav Grof mapped a trasnpersonal cartography of full exquisite experiences. These are available to anyone at any time. Do the somatic practices in the course as well as learn the best maps and models and tune into a different part of the spectrum that is on offer 24/7.
