The Experience

An Important Piece of Mind

There are no grades here.

The lessons must be viewed in order and were created to take about an hour to complete. But there is nothing preventing you from hurriedly clicking through. Just keep in mind that nothing on SiriusLeigh.com is random, and the information presented early will be referenced in later sections. This is a Journey.

Before we can work toward Peace of Mind,
I must first offer a piece of my own – the part that labored through confusion, softened in sorrow, and rose into clarity. The Journey from Logic to the Logos was a real one, far beyond the words I managed to string together for this site.

The first thing I had to do was clean my mind. In my case, this was not an act of will. I didn’t wake up one day and decide to fix my life. Tragedy, decimated my old life and I had to rebuild from the ground up. Not just financially – but emotionally, mentally and structurally.

For too long, tending to one’s own mind has been dismissed as fantasy, while dissecting the minds of others has been called science. But how can we hope to understand the landscape of the soul if we refuse to walk our own fields first?

To truly know humanity, you must know your own humanity.
And yet, how many turn away from this?
For many, the word “human” carries the scent of weakness, betrayal, even darkness.
As if being human were a flaw to be hidden, rather than a miracle to be shaped.

There’s a line whispered through the old story:
“The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn’t exist.”
I believe a deeper trick was played: convincing us that to be human was to be broken pieces.

Under that idea, we punish what we should nurture.
We war against our own nature, instead of guiding it with wisdom and love.
But many of the traits we call “flaws” are simply raw virtues, waiting for the hands of a careful gardener.

Here, I offer you two gifts:
The science, to steady your mind.
And the story, to awaken your heart.

May both serve you, as you remember the quiet strength woven into your being – the beautiful, tender, mighty thing called human.
