✨ New on the blog ✨ I’ve just published a new blog that clarifies something I see misunderstood again and again on spiritual and personal development paths:
What it actually means to have a Spiritual Guide — and what it does not.
In this article, I walk through the role of a Guide within an authentic path of initiation, particularly as it is understood in the Modern Mystery School lineage. This is not about hierarchy, dependence, or someone “having answers for you.” It is about sovereignty, personal responsibility, and support for real transformation.
In the blog, I cover:
• What a Guide is — and is not
Including why a Guide is not a life coach, therapist, guru, or personal “friend” in the conventional sense, and why those distinctions matter for long-term growth.
• Free will, sovereignty, and personal responsibility
Why true spiritual paths never pressure, chase, or coerce — and why choice and agency are essential to authentic initiation.
• The role of a Guide after Empower Thyself
Including support with discernment, next steps on the path of initiation, and navigating the sometimes bumpy terrain of inner alchemy.
• Healings and the alchemical process of transformation
How the path of initiation catalyzes a seven-stage process of inner transformation that can feel both exhilarating and challenging — and how spiritual healings support purification, integration, and forward movement.
• Teachings that translate into daily life
In order to equip you with skills you can actually apply so you can to reach deeper levels of understanding, rather than offering information alone without a path to embodiment.
• Kalyāṇa Mitra — the concept of the “spiritual friend”
I explore this Sanskrit term and how it applies to the role of a Spiritual Guide — not as emotional companionship, but as support for awakening, clarity, and ethical living — and how this helps explain why a Guide is a Spiritual Friend, which is different from being your “friend” in the conventional sense.
• Boundaries, care, and integrity
How interaction with a Guide is always based on your preferences, why there is no pressure to engage, and how genuine care can exist without attachment or pursuit.
If you’ve ever felt unsure about what support on a spiritual path should actually look like — or have been wary because of unhealthy dynamics you’ve seen elsewhere — this article is for you.

As a Guide in the lineage of King Salomon certified through the Modern Mystery School International, I am continually called to do my own inner work. This includes ongoing training, self-refinement, and annual re-certification to remain in integrity with the teachings and the lineage of King Salomon. This ensures that the guidance and support offered is grounded, responsible, and aligned with a living, time-tested tradition.
