Intuition

Cultivating inner knowing

A question currently animating me about the inner life/spirit is:

Who am i when fully present in the world around me ?

October 1, 2025

A question currently animating me about the outer world/universe/multiverse is:

How does culture shape a human? Why are some cultures based on ‘we’ and others are based on ‘I’?

The practices I’m finding most helpful at the moment are:

Journaling,Time in Nature

October 1, 2025

A moment I noticed my inner light kindled this month was:

Having conversations with welcoming locals, and having time by myself to reflect.

A moment I noticed my inner light dwindled this month was:

A moment where I felt uncomfortable at a hostel, I changed plan and moved to another place and had a great time !

Courage

Aligning action

Assumptions I'm examining right now are:

Time/Attention

October 1, 2025

I originally assumed:

I feel as though most people (at least in the uk) have a big thing about fitting something into their schedule, making sure they have time to do their routine activities, and often say no to new experiences to minimise change in their routine.

October 1, 2025

These assumptions are changing:

I have met so many people over the past week who have instantly gone out of their way to make conversation, have a new experience which I think is really beautiful. So many people coming together to look after each other and give time to each other.

A moment I stepped out of my comfort zone this month was:

Staying with a Peruvian family who spoke only Spanish

October 1, 2025

Compassion

Engaged Empathy

Something that is helping me build trusting relationships here is:

Being able to reach out and talk to anyone.
