Is There “More” to Life?
“There has to be more to life than this.” Most every journey of personal transformation starts with a bit of existential questioning. Some, of course, quickly jump to the conclusion that there isn’t more: “Life is about being positive and grateful for what you do have, not longing for something else.” But others, like us, take that line of questioning a bit more seriously. Deep inside, we had a feeling we couldn’t shake: “There is more to life than this, and I won’t stop until I find it.” That’s exactly what we did.
That journey began with putting an end to hollow pursuits. We realized how much time and energy it took to maintain the aspects of life we never felt good about to begin with. After a long road of building the courage required to step away from friendships, career paths, communities, and other shiny “opportunities,” we simply left.
Over time, we realized how much of our own minds were full of parroted scripts and ideologies that, on further reflection, weren’t our own. Forging a sense of personal identity, distinct from the communities we came from, we learned to move beyond our allegiances and the codified “good.” In that, we developed a genuine sense of self.
In life, there are a thousand reasons why your deepest sense of who you are and what you’re meant to be doing is wrong or untrustworthy.
We believe every last one of those reasons to be logically flawed and, in practice, completely worthless pieces of information. Knowing that, we work to move beyond their grip on our psyches and, more importantly, our decision making.
In a world built on consensus logic, where all the “right” answers lead to all the wrong places, we believe it’s time to actually trust our own experience and our deepest sense of truth.

About David and Miriam
David and Miriam Hrostoski are co-founders of The Second Paradigm. Since 2017, they’ve been working to develop a framework for making sense of soul, God, and the intuitive experience—a framework that sits outside of both religion and mainstream spirituality and reorients life around the tangible experience of intuition.
Broadly, they encourage people to develop ideological independence and to live a life centered around their deepest sense of truth. Despite what consensus thought might be, or what’s socially convenient, “What do you think?”
In a mentorship capacity, they take that a step deeper: “What’s left after questioning and untethering from collective ideologies, social pressure, and old biological habits and misconceptions?”
Underneath the impulses of our cultural and societal programming, is there something deeper (soul?) that emerges in our actual experience? Is that “unmodified self” the essence of who we truly are?
And what about that deepest feeling of rightness that guides our decision making along the intuitive journey? Experience seems to point towards this guidance being a personal connection to something higher, external, and benevolent—an organizational force that actively creates benefit and seems to be the closest thing to the word “God” in the human experience.
