Alyssa shares the three frameworks that gave her language for her spiritual awakening and helped her stay grounded through uncertainty, intensity, and real-life responsibilities. She keeps returning to one test of the path: does our spirituality make us more embodied, humble, and accountable.
• why language and frameworks reduce fear and isolation during awakening
• awakening as an ongoing relationship shaped by daily choices and integration
• Stan Grof’s spiritual emergency lens and the role of discernment
• somatic work and nervous system support as the bridge from insight to change
• common forms of spiritual emergency, from kundalini symptoms to peak experiences
• psychic opening and intuition, including how urgency can signal fear or trauma
• past life material and the question of healing over certainty
• channeling and guidance measured by responsibility, not spectacle
• near-death experiences and the challenge of returning to ordinary life
• Carl Jung on persona, shadow work, projection, and individuation
• Rudolf Steiner on the middle path between fantasy and reductionism
• spiritual inflation and why humility is non-negotiable on this path

We explore Wetiko as a collective mind virus and how it hides in projection, separation, and the parts of us we refuse to see. We connect Jungian shadow work, addiction as spiritual hunger, and the way awareness and embodiment help us reclaim life force and choose a different path.
• defining wetiko through Paul Levy’s lens as a collective psycho-spiritual blindness
• noticing transmission through projection, othering, scapegoating, and moral certainty
• linking addiction and compulsive behaviour to disconnection and spiritual hunger
• reclaiming creative energy by bringing shadow material into awareness
• distinguishing judgement from discernment and staying protected through being
• naming spiritual superiority, victim-perpetrator dynamics, and groupthink traps
• understanding awakening as descent, not bypassing, with will and somatic healing
• using triggers as information, including envy, resentment, fear, and reactivity
• unpacking polarization, ideological possession, and consumer culture as wetiko fuel
• practising the antidote through humility, curiosity, community, and conscious choice

Certainty is intoxicating, especially after a big awakening. Then the rug pulls out: a trusted teacher gets exposed, a “destined” relationship reveals its shadow, or a movement you thought was truth starts acting like the very system it resisted. I’m Alyssa, and I’m naming the force behind that pattern: the trickster archetype, the boundary crosser known as Hermes, Loki, and Ichtomi, who shows up wherever we’ve become unconscious, inflated, or rigid.

I walk through Carl Jung’s framing of the trickster as the psyche’s self-correcting mechanism and why it’s rising so loudly right now in spiritual communities, wellness and ascension spaces, conspiracy frameworks, and even UFO disclosure narratives. We talk about how counterculture can quietly become groupthink, how pedestals get built and then pulled apart, and why that collapse can feel like betrayal even when it’s also a call back to humility and truth.

From there, we get practical: what to do when your nervous system wants to grab a new ideology, why “switching sides” doesn’t solve the deeper pattern, and how holding paradox becomes the doorway to the second awakening. We explore shadow work, projection, attachment, and somatic healing as essential tools for real discernment, not paranoia.
