Welcome to Transcendental Scouting
Every decision in your life has somehow led you to click this article and be apart of this community and as we all know, everything happens for a reason. By being here and reading this, you've already done what Transcendental Scouting is about. You have used a moment of your life to think, and to be open to shift how you see and perceive. In today's world that matters more than it might seem.
Shifting the perception of our minds, so that the things we love and the world we inhabit reveal more of themselves to us is the soul of Transcendental Scouting. Because perception isn't passive. When you allow yourself to see something differently, it becomes something different. The game changes. The body changes. The idea changes. Reality opens up in proportion to how well you've learned to look.
"We see the world as we are, not as it is." - Robert Grant
Whether it's sports, food, art, health, philosophy, culture, epistemology, ontology, aesthetics — whatever pulls at you. Our aim (and I say "our" because this isn't mine alone; it's a community of like-minded thinkers) is to transcend our current understanding of the things in life we love through adopting Kaizen: a Japanese concept where the improvement itself is the goal rather than a final product. There's no destination, no final form, just the work of sharpening, forever. Which is either terrifying or freeing depending on how you perceive it. For us, it's freeing, because arrival was always an illusion anyway.
As humans, we are the only species on Earth tasked with asking why we exist at all. And I don't think that question is something to run away from but to run toward- and I am of the belief that a path we can embark on is the notion that our species is here to evolve our consciousness and expand our perception of the things we find most interesting.
To let the universe know itself a little better through us.
That's why I'm building this. To create a space where those who strive to operate and live through this lens are able to connect, discover, create and evolve together and let raw passion, curiosity, intuition and authenticity be the North Star.
You already know whether this is you. If it is, you're home. If it's not, what do you have to lose?
Life is a gift. Time is our most valuable resource. Let's spend it together doing things we love. Alone, each of us is finite. Together, what we can learn and discover and create is infinite.
Join us and transcend yesterday.
