Thank you for being in my life. As an expression of my gratitude, I'm sharing something that emerged through complete surrender—my manuscript, "Very High Priest."

Before this manuscript hits publishing platforms and podcast circuits, I want to share it with you - my early supporters who've witnessed this journey of remembering.

Created in twelve intense days this January, after fifteen years of carrying these stories like burning coals in my chest, this isn't a polished memoir, but a living prototype. Through three interwoven timelines, it reveals how our most carefully crafted identities can become bridges for others.

  • The Child Seeker: From ultra-orthodox Jerusalem to American dreaming, navigating love and belonging through increasingly sophisticated patterns of protection.

  • The High Priest: Walking between sacred and shadow in underground ceremonies, using spiritual practices to avoid my deepest healing.

  • The Guide: Present-day integration, discovering how every pattern serves our remembering.

"Very High Priest" serves two profound purposes:

  • It shares my 12 Beats framework through the lens of my own journey.

  • It demonstrates my framework's power by using it to tell my complete truth.

While these stories are condensed, they are 100% authentic. I chose depth over detail, medicine over memoir. My intention isn't to craft a polished narrative, but to show what becomes possible when we stop waiting to be "healed enough" to share our truth.

The Origin Story

"The cave you fear to enter holds the treasure you seek." — Joseph Campbell

At 27, I sat before my computer with a burning need to tell my story. "Unprepared & Ready to Go" captured my journey perfectly—arriving in America without English, without secular education, yet somehow manifesting success through raw enthusiasm and technical intuition.

I even created a promotional video for the book, following Wayne Dyer's advice about visualizing success. Looking back at that footage now, eighteen years later, I see a young man desperate to share his truth but not yet ready to face it completely.

My obsession with story structure began in those early writing attempts. While others read self-help, I devoured screenwriting manuals. Then, grace intervened in the most unexpected way, leading me to my first underground ceremony. As sacred medicine cracked my heart open, something clicked—these consciousness-expanding experiences followed the same beats as Hollywood's greatest transformational stories.

For fifteen years, I walked between two worlds—studying story structure while facilitating sacred ceremonies. Things got so dark during my years as an urban shaman that I completely forgot my original intention—to discover the medicine in my own story. Yet, through it all, I kept refining the framework, weaving together Hollywood story structure with shamanic wisdom.

Now, at 44, grace has finally broken through. This manuscript isn't perfect or polished, but it's a living example of what becomes possible when we stop waiting to be "healed enough" and simply surrender to what needs to be shared.

Your presence here means everything. I encourage you to download and witness how the framework reveals itself through these stories. If something moves you, I'd love to hear what resonates.

Remember—this manuscript serves as living proof that we don't need years to share our medicine. Sometimes, our most carefully crafted identities become the very prisons we need to transform into bridges for others.

May this raw prototype remind you of your own light and truth. When it does, please help me share it. For this journey isn't about crafting perfect stories—it's about making truth our medicine.

Together, we remember.

Love, Oriya
