“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 elixir
• How soul integration and legacy begin with letting go of split identities
• Embodied reflections on the three Osho Zen cards drawn for this walk:
  • The Torn One (Schizophrenia) – the inner conflict of clinging to two worlds
  • The Dream Gazer (Postponement) – the cost of waiting to step into the full-color life
  • The Cosmic Dancer (Change) – surrendering to the rhythm of the turning wheel
• A real-time mythic meditation on life, death, purpose, and legacy
• The 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?
