Authentically progressive methods of escape from the bubble of culturally propagated metaphors (i.e. models of identity and function) can deliver a radically expanded experience of positive options, but it has been perennially challenging to locate or sustain such egress. In youth, many people turn to drugs or crime in a misguided effort to re-acquire elements of experience and relation which appear otherwise inaccessible such as transcendental experience or tightly-knit group unity (‘missions’).
A significant part of the entry-into-adulthood is the awakening of an undisclosed urge toward entry into nonordinary experience which has historically been directed via various relatively ornate culturally or traditionally conserved initiation rituals. Properly navigated, these serve as ladder of transcendental metaphors whose transit actually results in a direct, non-linguistic experience which is at once universal and incredibly intimate. One undergoes an epic initiation into the nonordinary and ‘fraternal’ experiences which the person previously pursued more recklessly and unknowingly, for they did not then possess the ability to specify these desires to themselves.
It is my experience that some aspect of our mind is expressing the expectation of fulfillment of these urges toward unification of inner intelligence(s) and outer Intelligence, and when denied this, we often respond symptomatically. I believe that it is crucial that we establish such traditions as would grant us direct access to these experiences again, and not merely for those emerging into adulthood. In every age of life we will benefit when we are empowered to consciously and positively maintain a transport of contact with the impossible, the mysterious, the numinous.
