“At 57, I’m not winding down—I’m spiraling in. This is not the finale. This is the reclamation.”

In this Wisdom Walk edition of the Soulcruzer Podcast, I step into the mythic terrain of Act III—the Reclamation Phase. Blending Joseph Campbell’s Hero’s Journey, James Hillman’s mythic imagination, and the soul-deep symbolism of the Osho Zen Tarot, this episode explores the turning of the inner wheel and the soulful integration that defines the latter chapters of life. In this episode: 

What it means to live in Act III—not as decline, but as the return with the elixirHow soul integration and legacy begin with letting go of split identitiesEmbodied reflections on the three Osho Zen cards drawn for this walk:The Torn One (Schizophrenia) – the inner conflict of clinging to two worldsThe Dream Gazer (Postponement) – the cost of waiting to step into the full-color lifeThe Cosmic Dancer (Change) – surrendering to the rhythm of the turning wheelA real-time mythic meditation on life, death, purpose, and legacyThe personal reckoning of letting go of the "safe structure" in order to fully serve those who’ve awakened from the Matrix

This isn’t just a podcast—it’s a soul signal for those who’ve stirred from the dream of the ordinary and now find themselves blinking into the mythic light, wondering, What now?  🌀 Mentioned in this episode:
