I completely relate to the illusion of progress that learning and preparing and digging, and exploring creates. Not to mention that a part of the reason I was doing it was avoidance of what I resisted doing, but ultimately needed to do.
And then even when I wanted to move, when I got someone to help me, either they'd send me back to more exploration with their formula, or following them soon started to feel like they're keeping me stuck -> so I was back on my own stuck track.
With that experience, I seem to have gone through a similar process you're describing in the burning - from all I've tried, the frameworks and processes and tactics, taking what's worked, removing the rest. Creating my own synthesis.
Not sure to what degree it's effectively transferable. People might just need to go through this same process themselves. Including the actions and their own inner journey to find the sweet spot.
That's a beautiful story Klara, thanks for sharing it. It perfectly captures a struggle I think many of us go through.
Taking what works, discarding what doesn't, and creating your own synthesis from the ashes of all those old frameworks. It's a metaphorical death and rebirth. You had to let your reliance on external frameworks "die" in order to be "reborn" into your own inner authority.
That's the beginning of true, authentic wisdom. You move from following someone else's recipe to learning how to cook with your own ingredients and your own intuition.
You hit a crucial point: "People might just need to go through this same process themselves... to find the sweet spot."
This is the ultimate lesson to learn. No one can give you the "sweet spot." As much as we like to find a shortcut, people probably do have to go through that messy process themselves. That journey of trial and error, of action and reflection, seems to be the only way to find that personal "sweet spot" where things finally click.
The path can only be discovered through the courageous, often lonely, and completely individual process of engaging with your own inner and outer life.
It's a difficult journey, and my goal is to be a helpful companion for others who are in that exact process of finding their own way.
This is pretty much a course wrapped up into a newsletter. It's awesome.
Im really looking forward to see what you build from all of this.
Respect 🙏
Thanks Tommy, glad you liked it.
Writing this took me a lot of time. I didn't want to provide a superficial solution.
It shows chief 🙏

Interesting(ly same). We might want to have a conversation someday.
Agreed. Will get back to you in the next couple of days.
Woah it's interesting and good piece
Intense and interesting.
The coffee example was perfect.
I also love thinking about your ideas through an alchemy lens.
And you’re dead on about ritual.
