The Importance of Rites of Passage

In this episode, we talk about rites of passage: not just how we can celebrate external and internal moments of growth and maturation, but also how to overcome society’s biggest challenges we face as we grow towards our Soul Purpose. Contrary to popular belief, psychological adolescence isn’t just confined to our teen years, and soul development isn‘t about age, or even external accomplishments. True psychological adulthood can’t be meaningfully defined as what happens in our 20s or what degrees we have or our jobs or our pay.  It's about ziji, authenticity - knowing who we really are — to know where we stand, what we value, what we desire, what we tolerate and what we don’t — and to be able and willing to act accordingly, most of the time, despite the social risks. This takes a minute.  Listen to learn: The 3 phases in a rite of passage; how to overcome society’s challenges to discovering our Soul Purpose; how to step into true adulthood, and more. * Be sure to grab the Rebel Buddhist Toolkit I created at RebelBuddhist.com.
