I Ching, the ancient Chinese Book of Changes, provides us practical, if often mysterious, guidance for our everyday lives. Based in understanding of Dao, or the Way, I Ching helps us find the path of the superior individual through all life’s circumstances and situations.

On this episode of Woven Wings Live (Season 4, Episode 5), we take a break from our usual guest format to share reflections on Gabe's own life cultivation work in light of I Ching Hexagram 39 — the Hexagram of Impasse, or Obstruction. We also wish our co-host Rahul Deedwania a hearty new beginning in his journey as a first-time father!

Life always throws us challenges and it’s up to us to turn these into opportunities for growth. In this episode, you'll hear about:

-Why I Ching is so valuable if you are interested in systems like Human Design and Gene Keys
-What the specific circumstance of Obstruction, or Impasse (Hexagram 39) offers for our spiritual development
-How these abstract and esoteric concepts can be directly applied to your life, through Gabe's own example

What if everything you’ve ever believed about God, purpose, or consciousness could be placed as a node on a much bigger map? What if your longing for meaning wasn’t confusion—but a sign that you’re on the right path?

In this eye-opening episode, meditation teacher, poet, and spiritual cartographer George Boyd joins hosts Gabe Crane and Rahul Deedwania for a deep exploration into his seminal work The Great Continuum of Consciousness—a spiritual map that charts the inner worlds of the mind and soul across cultures, faiths, and practices.

Drawing from decades of teaching and mystical experience, George guides us through the many “planes” of consciousness, offering insights into how people from vastly different traditions—whether Christian, yogic, Islamic, or New Age—are often experiencing the same divine light through different windows.

You’ll hear about:
- Why different spiritual paths often lead to the same essence
- The role of attention, faith, and intuition in the inner journey
- And how to find the right path for you—and why committing to it matters

This conversation admittedly gets quite heady at times, and the real picture starts to come into focus as we inquire and go deeper into George’s expansive vision. We encourage you to use the links in the description to track the Continuum of Consciousness through the conversation.

Whether you're just beginning your spiritual inquiry or have been walking your path for years, we hope you enjoy this profoundly vast and inclusive view that honors both tradition and innovation - of what it means to seek—and experience—the Divine.
