The longer the trek through new information, the more individuals are confronted with unexpected yet undeniable facts that defy their old perspectives. Over time, this exposure leads to the development of a new awareness that grows into an expanded comprehension with greater depth. Once we have reached a certain number of peaks, it becomes inevitable to reflect upon the journey and gain a full realisation of where we have come from.
Upon reflection, we understand that the ascent to the peaks of understanding is a personal journey that no one else could have undertaken on our behalf. While reading about others’ journeys and discoveries can offer signposts, each new pioneer must embark on their own trek, overcoming challenges and reaching their own milestones.
The climber who attains a higher understanding achieves this by forging a path that bypasses mainstream distractions and thinking. The most difficult part of such a path is that the trekker would have had to leave behind fellow travellers, even though they may have wished to bring them along. Higher altitudes are not for everyone, and that is to be expected.
For those who prefer higher grounds, the only way forward after reaching major peaks is to conquer additional mountains of common knowledge, ascending to even more peaks of authentic truth. Shift Navigators are thereby in a position to act as beacons, providing signposts for those who embark on similar journeys later.

This is a wonderful account of higher learning and I love the stacked stones as markers up on the heights!

Thank you! That was on the Inca Trail in 2016, probably the toughest trek I’ve done. It was around the highest point area – truly a milestone, so I wanted to give honour to the memory of the experience by integrating it into the concept of learning. Glad it resonates! 🙂
