From Undone to Unbound
You never knew how much
… the position, the security,
… the prestige, the predictability,
… the money, the familiarity,
… the fame and acclaim,
CHOSE YOUR WORLD FOR YOU.
Not really.
I mean they were important considerations.
They were nice to-haves.
But in your world, what mattered most, more than anything else…
What eclipsed the sun was achievement…
Because, if you are anything, you are
Competent,
Capable,
Reliable,
STRONG
INDEPENDENT
A do-er
A GO-GETTER
There was no space between do, do, and do
Because you’re the one that people went to…
When they needed to a get a job done, a job no one else could do,
On a deadline that is unreasonable,
With non-existent resources,
And no one on your team.
You are THE ONE that could make the impossible happen.
Anything short of: “whatever it takes” is sloppy, is weak.
And weak is cringy…
For as long back as you remember, you’ve done one form of self development or another.
Because what’s always fueled you, what you filtered your every move, your every decision was:
To be better…
Better in your job,
Better as a leader, a team-player, a friend, a child of a parent or a parent yourself…
To be THE BEST!
And to be the best, three can be no space between go, go, and go
You’re no stranger to the spot-LIGHT
After all, you knew how to lean in,
How to keep it together,
How to get sh*t done,
You knew how to say the right things,
And do things, just so.
In the spotlight, the stage was picture perfect.
And you were… oh so polished.
There was no mess.
There was no fuss.
It was just purrrr-fect!
You had this slideshow of pictures that played out in your deepest fantasies,
The perfect you…
Doing the perfect things and being the perfect person in all the places you occupied in the world.
The title, the prestige, the money, the fame and acclaim, they were the trinkets that ensured you were on track.
They were the streetlamps that lit your way, showing you the right roads to take.
You never opened into the silence of the space in between,
For direction.
And in the spotlight, the LIGHT was so bright that you were blinded by it.
You couldn’t see that something very dark was hiding in the corners.
The dissatisfaction,
The boredom,
The disconnection,
The hollow emptiness,
The HYPER-VIGILENCE,
The insatiable hunger,
The deep sorrow and yearning…
Until the LIGHTS went off so suddenly
And you lost it all;
You lost EVERYTHING.
Between one moment and the next,
you hit rock bottom.
The shoddiness of this world,
The endless cycles of pain & punishment,
The games people play.
The pretense of it all.
The lack of presence.
Living, yet dead.
The shabbiness that is you…
The mess of you falling apart on the inside
Terrifies you.
Your over-achieving,
Your neurotic people-pleasing,
Your fawning,
Revolts you.
The shadiness of people,
People weaseling their way into titles & positions.
People carelessly stepping over other people in their climb for power.
People meeting your whole world imploding with glazed eyes… unseeing, unfeeling.
The underhanded passive-aggression.
The lack of sensitivity.
The selfishness.
THE NOISE!
So much noise…
Everything feels so loud.
It is as if your protective skin’s been ripped off.
And you’re raw,
To a world that has gone mad with senseless noise.
So you retreat,
You withdraw,
You CRAVE solitude
The stillness of nature.
The deep quiet of attentive presence.
And in this gaping abyss, time-space ceases to exist.
And you’re caught in this giant space between worlds…
Sucked into a black hole with no doors, or windows, no points of entry and no way out.
You schedule appointments and forget them.
You know your IQ’s dropped a couple of dozen points.
Your mind is mush and you can’t think clearly.
Moments that never gave you pause confound you.
You no longer know how to show up in this world.
You’re a stranger to yourself.
Broken.
You have no words for this.. Lostness? Confusion?
And yet, if I am to tell you that it is because of the depth of this darkness that you now know
You have no words for this.. Lostness? Confusion?
And yet, if I am to tell you that it is because of the depth of this darkness that you now know
That you don’t KNOW THYSELF
You’d know… I’m speaking the truth.
When you don’t have anyone to please…
What do YOU feel?
When the price of untruth lived and spoken is your own sanity…
What do YOU believe?
When you don’t have anything to do, or anywhere to be?
What do YOU want?
What drives YOU?
WHO ARE YOU?
Really…
And what is this strange messy place of in-between?
Where you are UN-BECOMING…
But what if I told you…
BARDO
- A Tibetan word which means: “intermediate state”.
Bardo
It is the place in between,
In between being born & dying,
In between working & playing,
In between being conscious & asleep,
It is the space in between,
In between one breath & the next,
And one action and the next.
A Bardo is the doorway to THYSELF.
For only when you stop rushing to meet the world’s demands, can you find the space to ask: Who am I? What do I want?
As Viktor Frankl said: “Between stimulus and response, there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom.”
A Bardo is the home of DIVINE GUIDANCE and the road to INNER FREEDOM.
Moses withdrew to Mount Sinai for 40 days, emerging with laws that guided the Israelites to freedom.
The Emancipation Proclamation to free slaves emerged from Lincoln retreating to the Soldier’s Home.
At 40, Mohammad retired into Cave Hira before receiving the first revelation: a call to inner freedom.
In a Bardo, you TOUCH THE INFINITE.
From 27 years in prison, Mandela emerged with the power to unite and free a nation.
From the depths of silence and darkness, Helen Keller found the power to speak, write, and change the world
In paralysis, Hawking tapped knowledge that revolutionized our understanding of the cosmos.
You see, a Bardo is the “open spaciousness” that emerges when the things from which you get your sense of self and security dissolve. Underneath that, you find a boundless source of energy..
Because in a Bardo, every physical limit and lack is a pathway to INNER POWER.
Bardo is the “open spaciousness” that emerges when the things from which you get your sense of self and security dissolve.
Soul Nourishment in the Silence of Becoming
From artists to writers and mystics to statesmen…
when plunged into an unfathomable abyss of dark despair, a Bardo is where they all go – where one goes – to KNOW THYSELF.
"It’s in those moments of quiet, when the world falls away, that I can most clearly see who I am and what I need to do."
And from this knowing, find THY intimate council.
"My times of trial and difficulty taught me the value of solitude. It was in my moments of despair, in the silence of the night, that I sought answers and found a quiet resolve to carry on."
THY inner bedrock and the foundation from which all masterful creation emerges.
"Silence is the space where I confront myself. It’s hard, but it’s the only way to understand what I’m bringing to the table—my fears, my pain, my strength. From that place, I create."
A Bardo is where one goes to find Thy Inner North, and calibrate their compass to Truth.
"Silence is a great help to a seeker after truth. In the attitude of silence, the soul finds the path in a clearer light, and what is elusive and deceptive resolves itself into crystal clearness."
A Bardo is where they all go – where one goes – to find soul-level nourishment,
To soak up the kind of strength that IS PACKED IN SPACIOUSNESS & SILENCE.
The kind of strength EMPOWERS one to stand on par with the forces of nature and push back against cosmic chaos.
“Silence is a source of great strength.”
"I’ve learned that even when I have pains, I don’t have to be one. My soul has its quiet places where it retreats, listens, and regains strength to speak again."
And yet…
Do you feel that when people and blogs describe what you are experiencing, and give you advice, it just sounds…. too clean and COLD, almost clinical?
You aren’t wrong.
What if I told you that what you are experiencing is not merely
Chronic stress
Burnout
Decompression in a sabbatical
It goes much DEEPER than that.
You cannot solve it by
“resting”,
“recovering”,
“drinking lots of water”,
“focusing on exercise”,
“practicing mindfulness”,
“spending 15 minutes in nature every day”.
You KNOW THAT.
PAUSE
"In the quiet moments, when despair seemed overwhelming, I found my resolve. Silence is where we gather the strength to face the storm."
May I gently,
Lovingly,
In attentive presence,
Propose something…..BOLD?
You’ve spent your whole life DO-ing and GO-ing.
You have enough apps that monitor EVERYTHING: what you eat and how you sleep, and every step and change in your physiological chemicals.
You have a surplus of “mental-models”, “feeling frameworks”, and “pull-the-plug-on-it vacations”.
And yet…
You are HERE, experiencing
The F-I-R-E-, burning with the gusto of a thousand hells;
The water, dissolving into a vast, bottomless void of exhaustion.
The ai~r – as if you’re a fragment floating aimlessly in a dizzying darkness
Could you entertain the possibility that perhaps it is because:
What you are facing is NOT
A problem of the mind
that adopting cognitive behavioural & NLP techniques can fully overcome.
A problem of emotions
that therapy and somatic healing alone can fix.
A problem of the body
that sleep, box-breathing, meditation and intuitive movement can repair.
Sure, they help.
To some extent.
For some time.
What you’re experiencing is THE MUTINY OF THE SOUL
It is spirit-sized.
Dare I say?
It is spiritual
Perhaps you’ve checked out and boxed in so much that it made everything so – MECHANICAL.
Flat.
Dull.
DEAD
And now you feel dis-connected.
And when you try to fix it through the world of thoughts, emotions, behaviours, and matter, this je ne sais quoi – this ineffable quality – is missing.
Because spirit, the divine, and E~T~E~R~N!TY
Are not an idea you can think,
A feeling you can program.
You cannot fix it, at all
Because it does not belong to the world of “everyTHING-that-can-be-fixed”
You can only return to it when you
BEGIN YOUR WELLNESS JOURNEY
with a real experience that
Affirms
Confirms
That you are an
ETERNAL BENG LIVING A PHYSICAL EXPERIENCE
Then, this SACRED SPACIOUSNESS bubbles up and fills you
Deep into your cells.
Right into the core of your essence.
It is why the kind of silence that artists, writers, mystics and statesmen described in COSMIC WORDS is also what they describe in the language of the sacred!
“Silence is God's first language; everything else is a poor translation”
– Thomas Keating, trappist monk and founder of the Centering Prayer movement 
A bardo is a SACRED PLACE.
It is a HOMECOMING OF YOUR SOUL.
"In the silence that follows the storm, I feel the presence of something sacred, as though the world holds its breath, listening for God."
Reclaim Eternity.
Revive the SACRED QUIET within.
Return to Your Infinite Self.
Rebuild Your Life.
At Bardo, we’re initiates in the Western hermetic lineage of King Solomon with the Modern Mystery School.
Our lineage – the ancient art of spiritual apprenticeship – holds advanced spiritual teachings, healings, activations & initiations that have been handed down, in an unbroken line of teacher to student, for over 3000 years.
It is THE SOURCE of our power and ability to support you.
The great adepts of our lineage are philosophers, scientists, artists and magickians, all at once. They are people like Mozart, Carl Jung, Winston Churchil and Leonardo Da Vinci.
You can be too.
You’ve already passed the first initiation door.
Because every initiation starts first with self-initiation, a clear inner calling to walk the path of spiritual evolution.
We’ll give you a “practical formula” to restore your vitality,
using clinical interventions, NLP, and structured programs.
Just follow the formula.
A formula is another mold, even if bigger,
Practical is not exactly the best qualifier for sacred connection.
We’ll not “restore” you to what burned you out in the first place.
We offer a path to unbecome PERSONALITY and step into your individuality
Immerse yourself in a luxurious retreat with spa treatments, yoga, and mindfulness for a temporary reset.
We’re a lineage that respects the regal, and says YES to luxury.
That said…
Luxury isn’t the answer to burnout.
Liberation is.
We offer a spiritual initiation in a lineage of LIGHT.
The LIGHT of the path has this ineffable quality that luxury can never match.
Implement our “unique resilience blueprint”.
Experience a “guaranteed transformation” in 90 days,
so you can regain productivity
and balance in your
high-performing life.
We don’t promise transformations on a timeline.
We’re not “managing your time & energy” so you can DO MORE.
We’re not fixing you fast, because you are not a machine.
We offer you a path to discover who you are - beyond time-space -
So you can bring GOD into the physical
We’ll track your progress with measurable outcomes like improved sleep, reduced stress, and increased productivity.
It is not wise to measure this particular transformation by external metrics.
Doing that will have you miss
ACTUAL TRANSFORMATION:
That YOU are not your
performance metrics.
We offer you access to your QUANTUM SELF,
Because only from that place, can create that which is quantifiable,
And yet artful beyond measure.
You’ll never have what you desire the most (which we cleverly rubbed in with our copy) if you don’t sign up into our program - right now before we sell out.
The path is not about what you think you desire the most;
it is about who you can be IN YOUR GREATNESS.
We are after close to 2 decades of seeking.
We are NOT the only way. Only, we have found this to be the best path after close to 2 decades of seeking.
When your inner seeker says yes, we are at your service.
"Sometimes, standing in the stillness, you can feel something larger than yourself. It reminds you of the sacredness of the journey we’re all on."
Our Promise to You
Although it is “common marketing practice” because it is shinier, easier, and has more “hook”, we will never
- Use our words to feed your lower nature,
- Tell you lies to get your money,
- Make promises that defy the laws of nature.
We will:
- Speak the words that your soul gets.
- Meet you at your highest.
- Tell you the truth, even when it is most uncomfortable.
Because we believe in your greatness.
We know you can handle it.
We know you can handle it.
We promise you a path to Know Thyself
You will most likely not get what you want.
Because your wants will level up into desires worthy of your life force.
The journey will not be quick or easy.
But it will turn on the light within you, empowering you to tackle what you thought was impossible with a grace you never knew you had.
It won’t give you a temporary escape.
And yet, it will anchor you in a peace & strength so deep, you’ll no longer need to numb or run.
It won’t restore you to who you were.
But it will reveal who you’ve always been, beyond every limit you thought defined you.
You are
Stronger than you think;
More courageous than you feel;
More capable than you believe;
YOU ARE PROGRESSION
AND PROGRESSION HOLDS THE ENERGY OF THE INFINITE.
You are the LIGHT of GOD in the physical
KNOW THYSELF
