Chapter 15: When It All Feels Too Big

When ideas feel too vast to hold, we shrink. We know that it can all feel like too much to really understand sometimes. And that’s okay...

What feels overwhelming is often just an ungrounded emotional reaction to the expanse within you. You’re allowed to take small bites of the infinite.

Part 1: Naming the Bigness

We explore why abstract systems, sacred language, or expansive thinking can overwhelm our human thinking processes. It’s not a flaw in us - it’s a flag that we are closer to understading our own selves.

Part 2: Shrinking the Sacred for Sacred Reasons

This part of the book guides us in making the vast feel intimate. Small metaphors. Gentle repetition. Rituals that tether the expansive to our everyday.

Part 3: The Personal Portal

Good systems become breathable when they are discussed and shared.  We can carve a custom entry point for ourselves if we want a way to touch and communicate with our own system's integrity - without needing to master or fully control it.
