A Randonaut’s High Mystical Adventure

A path to break free of the matrix.

My wife, QT-Pie, and I recently enjoyed a magickal journey that began by just stepping outside our door. It was a spiritual pilgrimage that didn’t require a specific holy site to visit, specialized esoteric knowledge or any manufactured ritual. Although all those things can be fun, as long as they are held lightly. This was a journey about seeking transcendence with empty hands.

While our pilgrimage wasn’t to a specific sacred place, it was aligned with the recognition that all places are sacred. It was a journey of randomness, inspired by the Randonaut community found on Reddit.

A Randonaut’s intention is to break free from the societal and familial programing and the brainwashing that binds us so tightly to the modern, easy-money worldview. Our shared worldview normally dictates our perceptions of reality and is a primary reason things are such a shit-show these days.

Taking a Randonaut journey is embarking on a path of awakening from the collective programing, or samsara, or the grand illusion of separation for a little bit, to break free from the matrix of all our learned knowings. It’s a great way to escape those reality tunnels imposed on us since the patriarchy went into business some six thousand years ago.

Randonuating, in a nutshell, is taking a numinously inclined trek to a randomly generated destination in order to circumvent the hamster wheel of the modern world. The idea is to invite experiences into our lives that are generated from outside of the programming. And once we escape from the programing we become open to the real magick that flows throughout life, beyond (or before) all the programing.

Randonauting is an invitation for cosmic surprises (synchronicities)to jump out at us. When we become willing to enjoy those more mystical occurrences that are generated from outside the system it becomes easier to recognize society’s programing for the contrived bullshit it is.

I liken the Randonaut journeys to tarot readings where, instead of the cards, it’s the landscape and all it contains along the journey’s route that becomes the shuffle and sacred spread.

Our recent journey was mystically clean and mentally unfettered, like an empty room that Zen once occupied; and I confirmed something that I had only considered a possibility: the Universe speaks in the language of synchronicity. And we can open up to a deep understanding of that language if we choose to.

The geo-tarot reading QT-Pie and I received from the Universe on that recent journey gave us goosebumps, making real those dreamt of synchronistic connections that are born from the unified field, or Oneness, or mystical union, or whatever you call the great interconnected mystery of Life.
