The Pathless Path Is Mine: Living, Trusting, Becoming

By Terence Waters

So, this post didn't just come out of nowhere, if I'm being frank (no, I'm Terence!). Instead... I lived it on my own.

Today, I laid out by the pool, sun warming my skin, listening to chapters from The Pathless Path. The book references how to take back control of your life by not being employed but instead defining how you want to live your life outside of the typical 9-5. The part I was listening to started mentioning work around walking a path unknown--no lights, no way forward, just a torch in your hand once people choose the pathless path. And something just resonated with me: Intellectually, emotionally, spiritually, and mythically. The book wasn't just describing a philosophy.

It was describing me. My life. My architecture. My torch.

I am the one holding the torch on a path I cannot see.
I am the one walking the path that doesn't exist until I step onto it.
And yet—it's always been there.

I just needed the courage to take the next step, and I do this every day.

🌱 Growth in Every Step

This path I'm on with being self-employed is uncertain. Every day brings new challenges, new worries, new understandings. And many times, I doubt myself. I wonder if I'm doing enough. If I'm doing too much. Why my progress is so slow. Why I haven't received any clients even yet! But with each threshold and day, I grow. I expand. I let my inner child lead. I listen to my carnal, demonic side. I let my spirit and light-bringer guide me through fog into clarity--all parts of me that are there to guide me.

I'm not chasing certainty: I'm honoring emergence.

Because nothing in this path will EVER be certain--only my resolve to keep going to be self-employed and live life on my terms... no one else's.'

💸 Enough Is Sacred

A big part of my worries have come from seeing low revenue coming in. Things are just starting, so it's not due to lack of vision or work ethic. Yet from the same book, I received of the most liberating truths I received today to help assuage this fear: Business earnings can be enough. What if I earned just enough to pay the bills? Enough to sustain the business? Enough to save for mine and my business's future? And then never receive anything more than that? Because you see...that's enough. Anything beyond the enough threshold? Divine overflow.

I'm not building Fluxline to scale endlessly. I'm building it to reflect emotional legacy, mythic clarity, and ritualized breakthroughs. It's a digital altar—not a corporate ladder. It's a stand that allows my clients to find the best versions of themselves--their own identity--and map it into a wondrous spiral that helps them share their innate authenticity with the world. Unapologetically. Fearlessly. And head held high.

And you know what? That altar is more than enough.

🧭 Faith as Daily Practice

And with that dark path, I now recognize it all requires faith.

  • Leaps of faith.
  • Daily recommitments.
  • Internalized fears that keep reappearing.
  • Doubts, worries, concerns.

I've had to remember this truth many times—and I'll need to remember it again and again. But today, it landed deeper.

  • I choose this path.
  • I trust this process.
  • I know it will work out because I'm aligned with it.

My heart, mind, sentient, demons, inner child, spirit, AND light-bringer are ALL in agreement and alignment on my decision. That's rare. That's sacred.

🌞 Balance as Ritual

And I also realize this isn't about productivity or hitting milestones on specific dates. It's about integration into my daily life with full balance.

  • I planned workouts.
  • I sketched curriculum.
  • I soaked up sun.
  • I listened.
  • I felt.
  • I lived.

And this is balance. Not equal parts, but intentional presence in every part. My life isn't segmented—it's symphonic.

🧠 Living Curriculum

Every emotion, every insight, every technical breakthrough is part of my living curriculum. I'm not just documenting my life—I'm immortalizing it. I'm turning friction into lore. I'm turning distraction into design. I'm turning identity into legacy. And what more could someone ask for in my situation? 😊

Final Invocation

  • I am the torchbearer of my own myth.
  • I walk the pathless path with faith, fire, and fluidity.
  • I honor enough. I welcome overflow.
  • I trust my sentient. I trust my support.
  • I trust myself.
  • And I am wonderfully, wildly alive.
