You might be wondering what kind of transformation you’ll actually get from reading Spirit Gym Volume 1. The first thing that’ll happen is you’ll wake up. This book is a synthesis of everything I’ve studied my whole life — myth, cosmology, psychology — the stuff most people are too busy to ever dig into. It gives you a meta-myth structure, a kind of eagle’s view, so you can finally see how your own belief system fits into something much bigger, and where you’ve got more freedom than you ever realized. Then there’s the workbook, and this is where it really lands. Knowledge isn’t power…applied knowledge is power. I take you step by step through actually creating your own myth: who you are, your mission, your tribe, why you’re here. This is the exact process that’s changed my own life. Watching the world come apart during COVID, people lost, anxious, depressed, I saw plainly what happens when people lose their sense of agency and free will. That’s what it means to be mythed. This book is how you shed that and finally stand on your own two feet. Preorders are closing soon. Click here to get your copy: paulchek.com/books/sgvol1/ Love and chi, - Paul

If you have a myth that’s unhealthy, it produces emotions that are unhealthy, and that leads to unhealthy diet and lifestyle choices, which further imbalance your internal systems and polarize you toward the negative. It’s like a snowball that gets worse and worse and worse. An unhealthy myth can make it hard to know what you’re truly needing, and your body misinterprets the signal. Am I hungry for emotional connection, or cake? Am I hungry for friendship and community, or should I smoke more pot and dream myself out of the pain of feeling alone? Am I hungry for something that challenges me and grows me, or should I keep numbing my emotions instead? And often, this is all unconscious. That’s what an unhealthy myth does. It runs you from underneath, and you pay for it in your body, your emotions, your relationships. If this is you, and you keep reaching for the wrong thing over and over and you don’t know why, this is exactly what my online workshop, Creating and Living Your Myth, is built for. You’ll get conscious of the actual story driving the craving, and instead of numbing it, you’ll finally feed what you’re actually hungry for.

Often, the earliest wounds are the hardest to work with because they’re the most painful. When I take someone into therapy, I always have to make a decision: is this person too under-resourced to go there? Maybe they’re tired or frazzled. Maybe things are tough with their spouse, or they’re struggling financially, and they’re scared to death. If I take them back to that root level and they don’t have the resources to deal with it, they’re very unlikely to stay in the witness position. They fall into the wound, and then they start acting it out. So remember, it is not how much or how fast you can heal, but whether you are authentically ready and have the resources to do so.

It’s very, very hard to listen to GOD if you’re afraid of the truth. The hardest thing for the ego to do is hear the truth... That’s where we have to have spiritual courage.

Remember, there’s only two options: more drama or solutions.

Pay close attention to any part of yourself that is negative, judgmental, or fear-based. Then ask your heart, your soul: is it really true? Is it really true that I’ll never be successful? That nobody loves me? That GOD will burn me in hell because I’m a sinner Whatever is keeping you from your authentic self and your sense of freedom, ask the question, and then do the work to get the answer.

You must be conscious of your thoughts, feelings, emotions, and direct your actions so they’re dream-affirmative and life-affirmative, and that’s the most efficient way to manifest what you want. But if you’re not conscious, you will keep manifesting your unconscious.

Sasha spent 25 years in the industry, operating her own companies, conducting clinical trials for over 60 pharma companies and frequently interacting with the FDA and other global regulators. Prior to 2020, she retired and sold her companies. Then the Covid-19 Pandemic arrived, and Sasha’s attention was drawn to FDA and CDC public statements, leading her to investigate their claims with her experience and insider knowledge. She and I discuss her views on pharmaceutical regulation and vaccine ingredient disclosure, her research into historical cancer incidence data, her critique of standard virology methodology, and her perspective on the regulatory history of the polio vaccine.

There are many misconceptions about myth. People hear the word and think it means a lie. It’s the opposite. A myth is a story so deep, it can take you a lifetime to fully understand what it means. And whether you know it or not, you’re living one right now. Every thought you think, every belief you carry, every “that’s just how I am” — that’s a story. The question is: did you write it, or did somebody else? Because if you didn’t write it, you’re being mythed. You’re acting out somebody else’s script… your parents’, your culture’s, your past, and calling it your life. That’s fate. No free will. Just a pawn moving through somebody else’s drama. But there’s another way. When you become conscious of your story and take the pen into your own hands, that’s destiny. That’s freedom. That’s finally knowing who you are, why you’re here, and what you came to do. If you’re ready to stop being mythed and finally take charge of the pen, click here and join me in Creating and Living Your Myth Online Workshop.

Many people believe that the more spiritually evolved they become, the less resistance they'll face. But without resistance, you don't grow. As you grow spiritually, you have to face hard choices, or you abort your own growth process and you're always going to keep wearing masks. That’s why there is an unwritten rule in Spirit Gym: every time you get stronger, GOD puts more weight on the bar. Love and chi, - Paul

Don't be afraid to give yourself permission to do nothing and just feed the part of yourself that needs a break from the world.

I've watched this happen to so many people, and it usually starts in childhood. Someone teaches you "GOD is unconditional love,” then, in the same breath, threatens you with hell. That contradiction doesn't just confuse a kid. It plants a fear that follows them their whole life, right down to how they face death itself. Love and chi, - Paul

Whose story are you living? If you don't know what myth really is, you can end up trapped in somebody else's story, belief system, or ideology, fitting in on the outside while your heart is telling you something's off. That's what mythologists call being mythed, and the Greeks called it being fated. In Volume 1, Welcome to Spirit Gym + The Myth and the Mystery of Spirit Gym, I teach you what myth really is, then walk you step by step through writing and illustrating your own, so you become the conscious creator of the story you live by. That's how you go from being fated to choosing your destiny and using your free will as a co-creator with Source. Preorder now and you’ll get exclusive preorder bonuses, including a live 90-minute session with me on personal myth creation, a prerecorded lesson on Soul, Myth, and Healing for Greater Freedom, and Myth reflective questions Click here to preorder your copy of "Volume 1, Welcome to Spirit Gym + The Myth and the Mystery of Spirit Gym": paulchek.com/books/sgvol1/ Love and chi, - Paul

The most important thing for your growth is to just ask yourself if it's really true. If it is true, then acknowledge it and see what you can do to improve.

Fate is when you have almost no freedom. You're acting out old programming and living out your wounds, and you don't realize it. You think you're choosing, but you're really just repeating patterns you never looked at. To that degree, you don't have free will. Destiny is when you're conscious. You see what's driving you, you make real choices, and you look for solutions instead of creating drama. That's when you start shaping your life instead of being shaped by it. One of the best ways to tell which one you're living is to watch your own story. Pay attention to the excuses you make, the justifications you give, and whether how you present yourself on the outside matches what's going on inside. Then ask yourself: am I fating myself, or am I creating my destiny? Love and chi, - Paul

The ego gets bored quickly and resists any truly effective spiritual development technique because the deeper you connect with your soul and unconscious, the more the ego loses control.

Spirit Gym is the framework I built from my whole life's work, and Volume 1 gives you the two foundations everything else stands on. The first is the Master Key, which shows you how to turn your hardest challenges into the things that grow you. The second is myth: what it really is, where yours came from, and how to finally see the story that's been running your life without you ever choosing it. The workbook walks you step by step through writing your own. When you preorder, you're not only the first to receive the book before it is even available in stores you also get bonuses that go away once the book is in print: • A live 90-minute session with me on personal myth creation • A prerecorded lesson, Soul, Myth, and Healing for Greater Freedom • A guided PDF of myth reflection questions to use alongside the workbook If you're ready to have your life changed for the better, click here to secure your book and bonuses: paulchek.com/books/sgvol1/ Love and chi, - Paul

After all these years of hard work, Penny, the team, and I can finally offer you the chance to preorder Volume 1 of my Spirit Gym book series. Part 1 is Welcome to Spirit Gym. I take you through the journey that led me here. From there, I walk you through the actual structure of Spirit Gym, who or what Source really is, and the Master Key itself — the foundation the whole 15-volume series is built on, and how to use it to turn your hardest challenges into growth instead of just getting worn down by them. Part 2 is Myth and the Mystery of Spirit Gym. This is where we go deep on what a myth actually is, where yours came from, and how to finally see it clearly. Most people, sadly, have no idea what their myth is, which means they're living it out unconsciously. And being unconscious of your myth means being fated. You're like a train on tracks, arriving wherever the tracks take you: family, culture, religion, programming you never chose. This part of the book will make you reflect: what do I actually believe, and why? By the time you finish the workbook, you'll have real clarity on both the Master Key and your myth, and you'll know how to put them to work in your own life.

One of the most important things we can do when facing a challenge is to be creative. Creativity is the essential means by which you solve a problem, because you cannot solve a problem with the same thinking that created it. So look at the nature of that thought or belief and ask, what would happen if I went the unconventional route?
