I want to take you back to Year 11. I wasn’t the prize-winning student or the athlete or the obvious academic star. I went to a private girls’ school where you were channelled toward whatever made the school look impressive. I loved theatre. I loved humanities. English. History. But they weren’t the kinds of talents that earned loud applause.
Then one teacher named something in me that had never been named before.
Intertextuality. It changed everything.
Intertextuality is the ability to read one framework through another, to see how ideas converge and separate, to recognise patterns across paradigms, to bring seemingly disparate systems into coherence.
At the Institute for Intuitive Intelligence, my work is to bring academic rigor, research integrity, and ethical frameworks into the unregulated spiritual industry. What my students and clients want, and what I believe we are all seeking, is measurable change.
More joy, peace, self-worth, financial abundance. Perhaps something entirely different.
But there must be evidence in your lived experience that something has shifted.
Applied spiritual practice is the bridge between knowledge and gnosis. It is the metabolisation of wisdom, the moment when insight moves from the intellect into the body, into your choices, into your behaviour, into how you move through the world.
A cosmology is the universe of meaning you are living inside of. We do not objectively experience the world. We perceive it through our identity, our personality, our subconscious programs, our beliefs. Two people can experience the same external event and inhabit entirely different realities. That is cosmology.
The world is not an objective experience. It is dependent on the level of perception through which you participate in it. If we can upgrade perception, we can upgrade our cosmology. When we upgrade our cosmology, we upgrade our lived experience.
Many people on the spiritual path become less happy before they become more aligned. Growth is often typified by loss. If your cosmology is built on scarcity, martyrdom, or self-sabotage, whatever contradicts what you are calling in will need to fall away.
If your worldview contradicts your desires, something must shift. We are not waiting for the world to become peaceful, we are cultivating peace inside the existing chaos. That is spiritual maturity. Not bypassing paradox. Spirituality invites us to become comfortable with mystery.
Over decades of practice, I have been refining a circular formula: Humility. Grace. Power.
It is about organising what you know into a lived framework.
Humility prevents ego traps.
Grace allows paradox.
Power aligns action.
Together, they create a practical, embodied cosmology.
A manifesto for how you inhabit your life. I love the idea that we are creators of our own reality, but we must also admit:
In our blind spots, we are creating our own trouble. Humility, Grace, Power gives us the tools to see those blind spots.
A six-week immersion in applied spiritual practice.
A space to:
- Understand the cosmology you are currently living inside of
- Identify where it contradicts what you are calling in
- Upgrade your perception
- Organise your knowledge into embodied gnosis
- Create a lived framework for right action
If you are ready to shift your perception and build a cosmology aligned with what you truly crave, I invite you to join us.

We are not here to collect spiritual ideas, we are here to embody them.
So much love,
Ricci-Jane
