FLAME
Welcome, dear sacred wild one.
We are so humbled and honored that your path has led here.
The spiritual journey is much like a winding path through a thick forest.
In order to make it through that mystical and dark forest, we must use
both discernment and instinct.
Our work is about helping you to see through the misty veils of delusion
and deception so epidemic on this winding path – both within yourself,
others, and the world at large.
We also believe in the vital importance of finding your own path – the
path you're destined to walk, the path written in the stars, the path

The spiritual journey is one of losing yourself and finding yourself over
and over again. We hope this small offering can stimulate new ideas,
awaken new feelings, and spark deeper longings inside your soul.
May you be like the wolf howling relentlessly for the moon in the night.
May you embrace the wild wolf within.

If there is any advice I would universally give to every person, regardless
of who they are, it is this: walk your own path.
Walk your own path. That means CHOOSING your own path in a very
conscious way.
Although choosing your own path may initially sound very empowering,
there’s a reason why most people prefer to follow the herd.
Firstly, walking your own path means that you might be REJECTED by
others. You might be gossiped about, thought of in disparaging ways (e.g.
as a “kook,” “oddball,” “idiot”), and outright alienated or estranged from
other people. Sometimes those people who reject you are those closest
to you. And what could be more painful than losing a family member,
friend or even partner?

HOW TO ATTRACT YOUR
The second reason why most people avoid walking their own paths is
that it’s a hell of a lotta work. No one is out there giving you a map, a set
of rules, or instructions that tell you what to do. YOU have to be
responsible for figuring it all out from scratch. It kind of feels like
stumbling through the dark in a room full of sharp objects. You will make
mistakes. You will fall flat and land smack bang on your face. You will feel
embarrassed, overwhelmed, and a lot of other uncomfortable emotions
that come with doing something completely radical. And on a mental and
emotional level, most people see that. Most people understand, on some
superficial level, the consequences and therefore prefer the cozy,
comfortable, and bland mediocrity of society-prescribed living.

C O Mpeople avoid walking their own paths is that
it’s “too much” RESPONSIBILITY. When you take your path into your own
hands, YOU are responsible. There’s no one to blame, point the finger at,
whine about or feel victimized by. You are the worker, boss, innovator,
and creator all-in-one. Instead of someone else holding all the cards, you
hold all the cards, and it is ultimately your problem if you wind up feeling
shitty about what you do. Most people can’t handle that. Most people like
the comfy confines of their cages because it makes them feel justified
about feeling like a “poor little” victim of life. Instead of taking self-
responsibility, it’s much easier to dump the burden onto someone else’s
shoulders and feel self-righteously empowered through blame.

And last, but not least, the fourth reason why most people avoid walking
their own paths is that they don’t know where to start. Some don’t even
FLAME
know that there is another path to begin with. We seem to be raised in
cultures which tell us that there are a limited number of paths, aka. the
paths that are taught by the big money-making University and College
industries. In school, we are conditioned to believe that going to
HOW TO ATTRACT YOUR
University is the only path towards developing a legitimately “fulfilling”
career path … and that getting a properly certified career path somehow
equals happiness. Very few of us are ever taught about other equally (if
not more) fulfilling paths. Spirituality isn’t touched on in most cases. So
when we do stumble upon the possibility of taking a new path that goes
against the grain, we are intimidated and invalidated by our social
conditioning. Many people believe that the only way to know you’re
walking a “proper” or valuable path is if you get the approval of social
institutions (or shall I say social marketplaces) in the form of degrees and
PhDs. The deep distrust we are conditioned to develop in ourselves
paralyzes our ability to act. So many of us never make anything of our
dreams – they just fester in the back corners of our minds.

Does walking your own path always mean that you’ll have to embrace
being a lone wolf or social outsider? No, not always. Maybe your life
purpose really is to enter statistics into a data file in an office. Maybe it’s
simply being an acceptable member of society. If you feel empowered by
that or like it’s for a greater purpose, all the more power to you. But I
would argue that there’s a difference between defensive complacency
(e.g. “I don’t know what you’re talking about, but I’m perfectly happy in
this path/job, thank you very much”) and real fulfillment.

confronting truths which may alienate you from others. You will need to

moving forward, even if you are tired of fighting. Being a lone wolf means

being a warrior. It means standing up for what you believe in and
courageously walking into the wild unknown. It’s all worth it. I can assure
you of that and I can keep asserting it until I turn black and blue, but
ultimately you must discover this for yourself. Don’t take anything I say
as truth unless you have experienced it directly.
Whether from your friends, family members, or society at large, you will
inevitably encounter naysayers. At some point, you will be met with
cynics, killjoys, and sourpusses who seek to bring you down to their level.
The reason why they fight against you is that in their minds you
invalidate their way of existence. By courageously forging your own path
you are causing them to reflect on their own lives and decisions. If on
some level, they’ve realized that they’ve followed the crowd and made no
unique decisions of their own, they will feel a sense of resentment which
they’ll project onto you. Although it’s not nice to be on the receiving end
of this, understand that the issue lies with them, not you. Everyone

forward and remind yourself that it’s no one’s place to dictate what your
life should be like except you.
This is not a question you ask just once, this is a question you
continuously ask on your path, thousands of times over. Keep bringing
back your focus on what you desire on the deepest level – not what
others want to project or dump onto you. What do you feel called to do?

towards? Our paths are not static: they are constantly shifting, evolving,

and changing. By repeatedly asking yourself this question, you will be
able to reinvent yourself over and over again. Instead of getting stuck in
an old and stagnant way of living, you will be in tune with your soul.
Being a lone wolf and walking your own path go hand-in-hand with a
sharp mind. How are we to discover what is our “stuff” vs other’s “stuff” if
we can’t be discerning? How can we learn what is true and what is
deceptive without the ability to analyze? Your mind is a tool that needs
to be sharpened. Without having a sharp mind, it’s easy to fall into
delusion, naivety, and stumble into rabbit holes which lead to great
confusion. Without the ability to use critical thought (and balance that
with an open heart), you can easily fall prey to emotional and spiritual
predators out there. Your ability to be discerning is your protective
sword on your path. I can’t emphasize enough how important it is to be
discerning! Don’t let anyone convince you of anything until you have
experienced it yourself.
Embracing the path of the wolf and taking responsibility for your life can
be lonely. If you are your own worst enemy, your path will be a million
times harder. But if you can focus some of that energy on learning to love
and accept yourself exactly the way you are (warts and all), your path will

make sense to like who you are? Doesn’t it make sense to enjoy spending
time with yourself? In my experience it absolutely does. Practicing self-
compassion is one of the most powerful tools and strengths you can
possess. Ever.
5. Know thyself
Strive to learn a little bit more about yourself, your strengths, and your
weaknesses each and every day. Self-discovery and self-understanding
are tremendously important facets of walking your own path. As the wise
master Lao Tzu once wrote, “He who knows others is wise. He who

or preferably journal about – the following questions:
If you decide to journal about these questions, even a short sentence will

Finally, I just want to mention one more thing: it’s not easy walking alone.
WWW.LONERWOLF.COM
The hardest walk you can ever take in this life is the walk you make
alone.
It is this solitary path that forges a soul that knows how to never give up
– even when the odds are against you.

Remember that the strongest and fiercest wolves are those who stand

alone. Even when you feel weak, remember, standing alone and walking
