ICRAVE Self-Archaeology

Archaeology is our frame of reference, and as the archaeologist of your Self, it will be necessary for you to do some digging in the verdant field of your past, in order to aid the excavation process. 

Search for something More – more bountiful, more exciting, more exhilarating, more joyous, more miraculous than any personal journey you’ve ever been on before. 

  • Blessings on your courage. 
  • Your buried treasure lies within.

Archaeology levels of study – observation, description, explanation (Bill McMillon)

  • Observation occurs during the excavation of a site and is central to all archaeological study.
  • Description occurs when archaeologist analyze the materials collected during an excavation
  • Explanation occurs when they draw conclusions based on the analysis of the collected material.”

Archaeology translates as “the study of the ancient.”

  • Search for the moments that have made a difference in the trajectory of your life. 
  • Dig deep:
    • through the successes and failures that have defined you
    • through the loves and hates, gains and losses, promises and pain that have bound you
    • through the risks and ruins, tumults and triumphs that set you free. 
  • Exhume all the perfectly reasonable choices that derailed your dreams and brush off the clinging soil hiding the half-truths that have haunted you for all these years.

“You need to claim the events of your life to make yourself yours.  When truly possess all you have been and done, which may take some time, you are fierce with reality.”
