I think..

On today’s episode, we explore Part 1: The “I” Awakening from our blog under Free Long Read – Journey 1.

What appeared to be a bold life move—from South Africa to Canada—was not about advancement at all. It was a quiet dismantling. Removed from familiar validation, cultural identity, and the reflections that once confirmed who I thought I was, the noise began to fall away. Titles stopped meaning anything. Words lost their grip. Even prayer dissolved into silence.

But this was not an absence. It was an encounter.
A stillness so full it could not be named.

In this episode, we invite you to sit with that stillness for yourself. To notice what remains when the labels soften, the striving pauses, and the mind stops reaching for explanation. What mystics have always known begins to reveal itself here: silence is not where God disappears, it is where Presence speaks. And within that Presence, something may introduce itself—not as promise, not as future, but as fact:

I Am.

“Before we begin, take a moment to arrive.

Wherever you are, allow yourself to pause.

Let your breath settle, your body soften, and your attention come into this moment.

This is not a podcast to rush through.

It’s an invitation to listen beneath the words —

to notice what stirs, what quiets, and what resonates as you listen.

Welcome.”
