Adulthood is re-inventing itself...
The kind of adulthood needed now is not achieved through ritual or ceremony.
It is not achieved through bowing down to tradition.
If you submit yourself to tradition, then the tradition has authority. That kind of adulthood worked when the tradition was intelligently noble and the circumstances remained stable. We have neither of these conditions now. The time of relying on what worked for the ancestors is over. Facing into and owning current reality NOW, moment by moment, requires a new kind of adulthood with new ways of initiating awarenesses and responsibilities in us.
Nobody already knows how to do this. Initiated adults around the world are working together to figure this out now. We need your help. You are an important part of the equation. You are the vanguard, the first, the edgeworker, concerned about giving birth to a new kind of human adulthood, beyond the traditional male and female roles, beyond the capitalist patriarchal empire's morality and values.
This new kind of adulthood is never fully achieved. It is transformational and has no top end. You are forever at risk. It is authentically inclusive of everything that has previously happened and everything that is coming. Yes, a lot is coming...
Next culture adulthood continuously unfolds, step by step, as new surprises appear whenever you have prepared yourself capable of holding the distinctions and consequences of the next initiation process. Each new quality is born through the Death and Resurrection Show, The Phoenix Process, 24 hours per day, 7 days per week, 365 days per year, aliveness for the rest of your life.
Are you in?
What does adulthood mean?
Questions only exist when you earnestly ask them.
Google the term 'adulthood.' Look at the images.
You will not find an agreed upon object or image.
Adulthood is not like 'house' or 'car', 'death' or 'birth', 'having a job' or 'getting married'.
The images we are given for adulthood arrive by TV sitcom shows or magazine advertisements for buying sunglasses, smart phones, fast cars, brand-name clothes, or amplifying your alcohol and tobacco addictions.
Where, then, are you supposed to find role models for adulthood?
What is the pathway to adulthood?
If you even ask these questions you find yourself outcast, thrown into a quandry, a stinking quagmire.
Losing the way to adulthood turns out to be a wretched local and global problem with disastrous consequences.
And, you... you are the cause of it.
You cause the emptiness of adulthood because you have not reinvented adulthood yet.
You may not have chosen to follow in your parents' footsteps, but have you established pathways to a new adulthood yet?
If you have, please tell us about it. Not the rituals. Not the ceremonies. What are the transformational initiatory processes to authentic adulthood that you deliver? Please give us your website link so that we can tell others about you at initiations.org.
The biggest threat to the future of humanity on Earth is that you don't know that you don't know about adulthood, and then you give up trying to find out. You make the assumptions that what you see around you is all that is possible.
It is not all that is possible. Not by a long shot.
Yes, these are huge assumptions on my part. Please prove me wrong.
Keep in mind that there is a big difference between 'making me wrong' in the inner exclamations of your own mind, and 'proving me wrong in the world' by delivering adult-level results that dignify the honor of being given a human life through serving something greater than yourself.
Adulthood is defined by different cultures at different times.
The photo above of the young men was taken in Rwanda around 2012. At that time, and probably still today, a man is not considered adult until he builds himself a house, attracts a woman and gets her pregnant. The average daily wage for working in a field or construction site all day is 200 Rwandan Francs, equivalent to about 0.47 Euros, the same price as one roof tile, or one hot meal at a street-food stall. Do you want to eat after working hard all day, or have one more of the 3,000 roof tiles you need for your house?
A Rwandan woman is not considered an adult until she lives in one of these self-made houses with a man and has given birth to children. (This data and the photo come from a book written by Marc Sommers called Stuck.)
In western countries we are equally stuck. Adulthood is assumed to suddenly occur when you turn 18 years old, because then you are of legal age in the eyes of the law and you can be sentenced by a state or federal court and locked into a corporate-owned prison. In what ways does modern culture prepare you to be an adult at 18 years old after keeping you confined and controlled in a depressive school system for 14 of those 18 precious first years? At 18 the western world gives you the right to drink alcohol, smoke cigarettes, drive, and vote in the corporate-controlled political system.
At 18 years old you enter the Western version of the Rwandan Linear Life Plan where you should get a college degree, find a job (JOB stands for Just Over Broke...), buy a car, find a partner, get a different job, buy a house, have kids, start your own business, send your kids to college, sell your business, retire, write your memoirs, go to an old people's home, and die. Do you know anyone out there living the Linear Life Plan?
This website is part of the StartOver.xyz massively-multiplayer online-and-offline personal-transformation game. Here you are challenged to re-think your life and reinvent yourself in preparation to enter a different kind of adulthood: an 'archearchal' adulthood - meaning, adulthood in the culture of archiarchy, the culture that naturally emerges after matriarchy and patriarchy have run their course.
There Is A Phase 1 And A Phase 2 Of Entering Adulthood
"I won't work to try to enter Phase 2 Adulthood until after you have succeeded in accomplishing Phase 1 Adulthood."
Adults Are Made By Other Adults... By Adultmakers.
Where are the adultmakers?
Adulthood In Archiarchy?
Questions only exist when you earnestly become them.
In archearchal cultures, adulthood cannot be known.
How could it be known? If adulthood was known it would be predictable, controllable, and limited to the tiny linear dimensions of your intellectual mind.
Authentic archearchal adulthood is ecstatic in 5 Bodies.
Adulthood is not a finished product.
Adulthood is not a state that can be achieved.
Adulthood is an evolutionary path of engaging an endless series of authentic adulthood initiatory processes.
Where are you in on your path?
Have you started? Yes. Even if this moment is your start, you have started.
Have you finished? No, never. Is compassion finished? Is love finished? Is discovery finished? Is ecstasy finished?
Next-culture adulthood is obviously an investigation.
We move forward in this investigation together through experimenting.
Each experiment is an initiation.
An initiation is any experience after which you are more aware and take more responsibility.
Responsibility is applied consciousness.
In the culture in which you were born and raised - the capitalist patriarchal empire - responsibility is a swear word. Responsibility includes giving up the delusional goal of making a 'profit' in a closed ecology by externalizing real costs to the environment, society at large, third world countries, or future generations.
Where are the adults?
What can you do NOW to become more adult?
Upgrade Your Thoughtware About The Meaning Of The Word 'RESPONSIBILITY'
Experiment ADULTHOO.01:
For this next week use the word 'RESPONSIBILITY' three times each day in conversations. Each time you say the word 'RESPONSIBILITY', also say, "I mean the upgraded thoughtware version of the word 'RESPONSIBILITY' which means... " and then from memory, explain the archiarchy version of the word shown in the Map of Responsibility. Notice what questions people have when you explain this. Answer their questions with curiosity, as an ally for their quest to become more adult. Compare and contrast the old and new meanings of the word 'RESPONSIBILITY'.

What can you do next to become more adult?
Commit Before You Know How
Experiment ADULTHOO.06:
Commitment is an energetic action because commitment is done with your energetic body, not with your mind. Commitment is a transformational action because an authentic commitment changes the shape of your Being. Since the Universe interacts with you according to the shape of your Being, by changing the shape of your Being you force the Universe to interact with you differently than before. After you make the commitment you are a different person: you are a person who is already committed. The Universe conserves know-how. It does not give know-how to someone who is not already committed. Would you? This means that a powerful skill for making things happen (such as building new gameworlds that make the existing gameworlds irrelevant...) is to be able to commit to something before you know how to do it. Most people give the excuse, "I cannot commit because I don't know how to do it." (You also do not know 'how to commit before you know how to do something' before you start committing before you know how to do something!) (Experiment: Choose something relatively harmless and commit to doing it with a deadline before you know how, now, that is, before you know how to commit before you know how.) After you are committed, the Universe (ECCO - Earth Coincidence Control Office) can move coincidental meetings, hidden resources, favorable accidents, and beneficial circumstances into your circle knowing these resources will not be wasted because you are already committed. Adults commit before they know how. It makes their life more interesting.
Be the Space through which your Bright Principles can do their work in the world.
Experiment ADULTHOO.07:
Distill your Bright Principles. Go to the Bright Principles website and follow the procedure to distill your Bright Principles out of your life. That is a separate EXPERIMENT. After getting your Bright Principles checked by a qualified Possibility Manager and after Choosing to serve your Bright Principles, which are two additional EXPERIMENTS, please return here to the ADULTHOOD website and do this experiment:
Choose someone with whom you have previously given your Center away, or someone you consider to be a strong ally of yours, and interact with them as your Bright Principles. Let your Bright Principles do the feeling, the thinking, and the talking as a way of serving the person you are talking with, while you occupy yourself being the grounded, centered, bubbled space through which your Bright Principles do their work in the world.
Establish your Gremlin at your side as an ally and a resource of nonlinear possibility.
