Pay what feels right. Become a Whole Adept.
APTITUDE is a course that represents the path to Free Will and Wholeness for drowning mystics and Liminal Creeps.
Unleash a Whole Adept
This is a home tor cast-aside, often neurodivergent, shamans who I hope can co-lead ourselves through the APTITUDE framework toward both self-actualization and re-integration with our meatspace communities.
Surfers of the Wavelength
The Archetypal Wavelength is the deep current beneath your moods, your insights, your cycles of creation and collapse. To know this wave is to know yourself.
Framework for Free Will
This is about the full, messy, embodied experience of being alive, about pulling every ounce of juice from your human incarnation. It’s about awakening, sure, but it’s also about getting your shit together.
Welcome to the APTITUDE Course
Adepthood is what comes after adulthood, but only for those who choose to wake up. It’s a state expressed by those who have jettisoned conditioning and now express Free Will. It’s knowing you’ve outgrown the self-imposed oppression of cycles, habits, patterns, or seemingly inescapable self-sabotage.
You found your way here—you might already have done some research, some self-work, some intermittent practice.
You’re already walking the path? The APTITUDE Course is your map.
This 36-week, 10-stage rite of passage is designed for Liminal Creeps who feel stuck between insight and embodiment. Pulled in two directions and, with the hinderance of the inevitable toxic baggage we all accrue, unable to actualize either.
This is for you if you’re one of the drowning mystics who’ve briefly experienced the sacred but who struggles with changing your oil before your head gasket blows. It’s for you if you see the ways humans can get stuck acting as biological machines—conditioned by systems, habits, traumas, an oppressive society—but are ready to stop being cog, yourself.
APTITUDE is about integration. Not bypassing. Not escaping. It’s about fully experiencing the messy, ecstatic, tragic, and miraculous ride of being a Whole human. All without panicking at the lows or getting flung out of balance by the highs.
This is a guided journey from Liminal Creep to Whole Adept, built on a foundation of what’s missing in Western “spiritual-but-not-religious” communities: a grounding in practical ethics, wisdom, and detoxification from our addicted, self-destructive, self-isolating modern world.
Why APTITUDE? Why Now?
Ever read the news? We’re experiencing some intense contractions. Crisis stacked on crisis, system after system crumbling—or being torn—apart. In this liminal space, those who have cultivated awareness, resilience, and Free Will will shape what comes next.
And something is coming next. After the excruciating contractions of labor, comes the miracle of birth.
APTITUDE provides a structured yet flexible framework that yields everything someone needs to cope with and positively contribute to those many, many crises—sometimes called the polycrisis. Each Stage of APTITUDE introduces key habits and practices, scaffolding energy so that growth is sustainable, not overwhelming.
If you’ve ever:
Felt like a mystic without a monastery
Woken up solo but spiraled back to sleep
Struggled with “shoulds”—eg. I should be meditating, I should stop scrolling so much, I should take cold showers, drink more water, get more exercise, take my job more seriously…
Known you have something to offer the world, but felt trapped in cycles of stagnation—
Then this course is for you.
The Journey: From Liminal Creep to Whole Adept
The transformation from Creep to Adept isn’t about perfection—it’s about wholeness. It’s about shifting from disempowered rebellion to conscious creation. From alienation to deep belonging. From insight to action.
Through ten carefully curated stages, APTITUDE will guide you through the core aspects of self-mastery:
Yes-And-Ness, Agency: Build a life intentionally when in a higher energy mode.
Yes-And-Ness, Receptivity: Receive abundance when in a lower energy mode.
Self-Love: Break free from shame and insecurity to exhibit authentic confidence.
Community Love: Move from digital isolation to embodied belonging.
Intellectual Understanding: Harness rationality and the drive to achieve.
Embodied Understanding: Know yourself as good by centering repressed edges
Systems Wisdom: Amalgamate insights of previous stages into one unique system
Transcendent Wisdom: Tap into flow states and higher intuition to unlock free will.
Unity: Yoke yourself to the greater currents of Source.
Emptiness: Explore how vibration “doesn’t satisfy, doesn’t last, and ain’t you.”
Each stage includes:
A Key Practice (from mindfulness to breathwork to movement)
An Ongoing Habit (small, powerful shifts that accumulate over time)
A Self-Inquiry Process (journaling questions to guide your progress)
This isn’t a crash course. It’s an extensive initiation into lasting transformation.
What Makes APTITUDE Different?
NO GURU: I am nothing special. Your journey is yours. APTITUDE gives you the blueprints for a staircase, but you choose what materials—what uniquely resonant habits and practices—you use to construct it.
INTEGRATIVE, NOT ESCAPIST: Many spiritual paths prioritize transcendence over embodiment. They preach “integrating and transcending,” but go on only to criticize the shadows of early developmental stages. Here, we embrace the full human experience.
CYCLICAL, NOT APOCALYPTIC: Evidence from countless luminaries indicates there is no spiritual retirement. There is no enlightenment you can effortlessly rest in forever. There is no Good Vibes Only style safe space. There will always be the ups and downs, but APTITUDE teaches you to be present with them without unneeded suffering.
Prepare to grow comfortable surfing that cyclical pattern—The Archetypal Wavelength—the essential qualities present in all cycles of rise and fall, expansion and contraction. Most people, especially people like me, get battered by this wave, clinging to highs and drowning in lows.
As a Whole Adept, you’ll ride it with equanimity, awareness, and intention.

A framework you can return to for life
APTITUDE is a gift-based course. You decide what feels fair based on your resources, what you have witnessed similar courses asking, and what represents a little initiatory skin in the game to enhance commitment. No one will be turned away for lack of funds, but let’s keep the energy exchange reciprocal.
Are You Ready?
If you feel the call, trust it.
If you want to read more first, that’s ok too. Here’s our Philosophy and an extended introduction.
Take note, though. What are you feeling in your body? What is sparked by this invitation to step beyond stagnation, beyond self-sabotage, beyond cycles of temporary enlightenment followed by collapse?
The world is waiting for Whole Adepts. For those who have reclaimed their Free Will, who have integrated their insights into action, who are ready to co-create what comes next.
Are you in?
