    <description>Somewhere deep inside, you know what your gift, purpose, and mission are.  Boyd Varty, a lion tracker and life coach, reveals how the wisdom from the ancient art of tracking can teach you how to recognize these essential ingredients in a meaningful life.  Know how to navigate, don’t worry about the destination, and stay alert. These are just a few of the strategies that contribute to both successful lion tracking and a life of fulfillment.   Trackers learn how to use all of their senses to read the environment and enter into a state of “greater aliveness.” When we learn to find and follow our inner tracks, we learn to see what is deeply important to us.

  <itunes:subtitle>Jung had this idea of there being two paths.  The right path and the left path.  The right path is the one of society.  A structured path forward that is laid outside and with its pursuit comes a position in the world with pursuit and structure.  The right path is beautiful.  The left path is different. It is the path of creation.  You look into the world and you don’t see anything that is for you.  It’s like living towards a feeling of aliveness. It requires a lot of reaching for the wild twin.  Joseph Campbell says of the left path, it’s a challenge because you will not be respected by society by you will be in our own authenticity.</itunes:subtitle>

  <description>Wow we made it to day 37.  In so many mythological stories there is an idea that when you were born a twin was born with you.  It was thrown out the cot and becomes your wild twin.  It’s a scallywag, an outlaw, a rogue.  IT slips chocolates to your nieces and nephews before supper.  It’s willing to act outside the bounds of the rational.  It doesn’t give a hoot about what anyone else thinks and can be relied upon to do something totally essential. It knows how to grieve, it does not control the longings of the heart.
Jung had this idea of there being two paths.  The right path and the left path.  The right path is the one of society.  A structured path forward that is laid outside and with its pursuit comes a position in the world with pursuit and structure.  The right path is beautiful.  The left path is different. It is the path of creation.  You look into the world and you don’t see anything that is for you.  It’s like living towards a feeling of aliveness. It requires a lot of reaching for the wild twin.  Joseph Campbell says of the left path, it’s a challenge because you will not be respected by society by you will be in our own authenticity.
Right pathers do very well until the age of 46.  Then they start to wonder if its what they really wanted.  They come to a place where they feel they are missing something of themselves.
Left pathers struggle to ground themselves in the world, the options are paralyzing, the money is tight.  Some can’t get through the drift of constantly drifting.  But those who learn their process emerge around 46, after a harrowing run, fully alive and autonomous.
I’ve always wondered if there is a path between?  Where both pathers got in touch with the other somewhere in between. The only way a central path becomes available is through mentorship.
Rates of download can be incredibly high between people who have integrated aspects of the other path.
Mentorship is truly magical when it spontaneously occurs.  Often in true mentorship there is no explicit instruction.  Real mentorship is a shared presence.  I was lucky to be mentored by Alex and Renias until I would go out tracking a lion thinking about what Alex and Renias would be doing in that particular situation.  To be either a Mentor or a Mentee takes inner work.  We can cultivate the ground in ourselves to create more sharing in our work and community.  To be a mentor you need excellence, confidence and a map of having done it.  You need to have a passion for what you do that is beyond you.  A love for the art form itself.  This requires a personal sense of abundance as you will give away some of what you have.  This can be a challenge but when I have been shared with like that I knew something sacred was happening.  The source never needs to really claim its the source.
The Mentee needs humility, to be real with themselves as to where they are at and respect of what has been given.  The role of a true Mentee is to learn it and evolve it. That is the responsibility bigger of you.  
So what does it mean to be wild.  It certainly doesn’t mean doing whatever you want and asking to nobody.  Dimensions of self come from attention.  You have unconsciously found and expressed your talents and gifts.  You have met your wild twin and are friends.  It means your nature is not clouded by layers of other peoples rules.  You have to pay attention and listen to what is being asked of you by life.  The more you do your inner work the easier it gets.

  <itunes:subtitle>Carl Jung had an idea of circumambulation where you exist in your fullest potential in your future self.  You achieve this future self by paying attention to what truly grabs you with the feeling of aliveness now.  You move towards and also around your future self.  As you do this you will see patterns and themes about what is core and essential to yourself.  If you look back over your life you will see that there are themes that continually emerge on your Venn diagram.  You see all of this as you spiral through time towards your future potential.</itunes:subtitle>

  <description>I made an oatmeal breakfast that was Instagram worthy.  The brand of oats out here is called Jungle Oats with a strong image of the Bengal Tiger on the front.
There is a Chinese saying that the best time to plant a tree is ten years ago or now.  I love this idea and feel it here as time warps.  I don’t know where time has gone.  I think our relationship with time shapes some of our relationship with life and self.  In a natural rhythms your consciousness changes as your notion of time shifts.  Time seems to make life rather than count it down.
One thing that I am struck by in the quote about planting a tree is how, even with this experience, there is something incredibly powerful about just starting.  It will be the value of starting ten years ago in the blink of an eye.  The company, the piano, French.  Cut the crap and start.
Trackers talk a lot about the first track.  You have no idea how the path of the tracks will play out and you don’t need to.  All you need is the first track and then the next first track.
In the coaching world I sat with so many people who have said to me that when I have the whole plan then they will start.  The people who experience the most transformation are the people who make little changes all the time.

I remember I once spent a week watching Anthony Bourdain shows one after the other. To me he was an incredibly original storyteller.  It shaped my own tracks of the style and types of stories I wanted to tell.  Anytime I’m walking through the world I feel Bourdain there drinking Scotch irreverently and saying to me ‘Go for the character, not the facade.’
When you really look at death, it teaches you to live.  And when you look deep into the eyes of regret you start now.

  <itunes:subtitle>Harmony is when, by being yourself, you form part of the greater whole.  A Shaman once told me that what we are trying to do as we live is balance our harmony with the intelligence of life.  We stop trying to live well and we are lived. Our path and purpose comes through us by being who we most naturally are.  And to look at any of the animals it just takes you there.  I am in this tree to find my harmony.</itunes:subtitle>

  <description>One month of solitude to go…until what?  The idea I could finish this experience is becoming somewhat absurd to me.
Touch wood my camp has not yet been ransacked by baboons.  Everyday I bathe in this gratitude and I would like you all to put this all on your gratitude at the top.

Harmony is when, by being yourself, you form part of the greater whole.  A Shaman once told me that what we are trying to do as we live is balance our harmony with the intelligence of life.  We stop trying to live well and we are lived. Our path and purpose comes through us by being who we most naturally are.  And to look at any of the animals it just takes you there.  I am in this tree to find my harmony.
Inner work has two movements, the first is a clearing out and becoming aware of all the things that are not really you.  Patterns that come from trauma, social conditioning, how you needed to be to be liked, to belong, your ideas about what made you valuable. Ideas from your culture.  What you discover is a lot of who you thought you are is just conditioned response.
So if I aint that then what…who am I?  There are no signposts here.
You have to let your essence express itself, become a tracker, find your medicine way.  But this is a deep challenge.
Carl Jung has this idea that the unconscious will play out in your life until it’s made conscious.  That’s why certain patterns repeat over and over in people lives until they gain awareness around what’s driving it.
It seems to me that you choose to do inner work or life will choose for you.  If life chooses for you it will be much harder.
My work today is on the tracks of a leopard which cut across a sandy patch of ground.
I’m alone at sunset.  Into the Wild Journal Entry: Happiness only real when shared.  I don’t know if I believe it but I understand the sentiment now.  On his path the leopard suddenly calls.  I’m asking myself what is my work?  What can I learn from Londolozi and the leopards. Certainly my work is to let myself be seen, completely, maybe not by everyone but by someone.  That is a true challenge.
