Quests

 

Tools, Baskets, and Vectors

For those seeking a structured journey through FERUS TEL, the labyrinth begins here.

Twenty Seven Quests with three different guides to narrate the journeys.

 
 

  • The first set of Quests are called Tools and focus on building your emotional intelligence with Others.

    Gaga the cartographer guides the way.

    The second set of Quests are called Baskets and focus on embracing your inner world.

    Breya the weaver guides the way.

    The final Quests are called Vectors and show ways to align with TRUE SELF.

    Shashoq the divine guides the way.

    Each level introduces new aspects of Ferus Tel that add to the levels before. They chart a progression toward an increasingly integrated perspective between Gaga, Breya, and Shashoq.

Three Quests of the Savanna

The Butterfly’s Emergence - Grounding in Innocence

The Saber - Discovering the Ferus in Others

The Sanctuary of Solitude - Illuminating Ferus within

  • My lessons are vectors. The intention behind their practices are to transport. The first lesson, Butterfly’s Emergence, is a kind of vector. Within the cocoon of the caterpillar exist the constructs for a multi dimensional launch.

    Meet Cheetah and Wildebeest, primary residents here at the River of Will in the center of the Savanna of Werth.

  • Step forward, intrepid traveler, Bearer of the SABER.

    My name is Gaga and I am here to lead you through the first nine stages of this journey. My guided path ahead is marked by TOOL icons, illustrated at the bottom left of each Quest card. Completing the activities of my 9 Quest cards gives you access to 9 TOOLs of relational insight. Gaining these TOOLs in sequence offers a leveled journey to build your Emotional Intelligence in dealing with others.

    On the bottom right of each Tool card is shown an icon directing you to Breya’s Basketweaving trances. She and I aren’t speaking right now. It appears she is upset with me and I haven’t a clue as to the reason. If you choose to follow her 9 teachings, please let her know I’m thinking of her and hope she resolves her issues soon.

  • Enter with me, the Sanctuary of Solitude.

    Greetings, seeker. I am Breya, weaver of baskets and the emotional tapestry. Drawing inspiration from the cyclical wisdom of the seasons, the elemental forces of nature, and the archetypal energies of the divine feminine, I offer a path to emotional mastery. I find that focusing on my basket weaving keeps me grounded and centered. If you are looking for a path to emotional well-being, follow the icons to my nine basket weaving exercises. As you progress through the exercises, you will learn to gather your emotions, cleanse them of negativity, and weave them into a beautiful tapestry that reflects your true self. You will emerge from this journey with a deeper understanding of yourself and your emotions, and a renewed sense of connection, pleasure and sovereignty. We will weave our whole selves into a beautiful tapestry that reflects your true self.

    Gaga can be such a tiresome old fool, so wrapped up in his own head that he is truly blind to the emotional needs of others. His tools and visual maps are helpful to understand me but that is barely half the work required. I must go within to discover the full spectrum of my own charged and conflicting voices.

    We start by Evoking our more fully Illuminated Selves at the Sanctuary of Solitude. This is an exercise of Foraging; that is, a calling in of elements spread far and wide. I enter the Sanctuary of Solitude first by acknowledging the Daring and Determined forces of Cheetah and Wildebeest.

    Their spirit of undaunted courage accompany me throughout.
