attain
enlightenment.

Sounds wild,
right?

Not when you consider that Buddha, Jesus, Rumi, and every other great mystic who ever lived devoted their lives to spreading one truth: Enlightenment isn’t for the few. It’s available to everyone.

So why aren’t more of us enlightened?

We think it’s because most of us have never stopped to ask what this word actually means—let alone what it means to us.

Enlightenment means somethinguniquetoeachofus.

The Currents App helps you clarify what it means to you to live an enlightened life—and then helps you move toward it, one step at a time.

What do you want your life to look like?

We define an enlightened life as… a life of your own design, that you enjoy living, and that makes the world better for others.

The Currents App helps you clarify what that means to you, what it looks like, how it feels, and your own unique path toward it.

“The happiness of your life depends upon the quality of your thoughts.”
—Marcus Aurelius

Currents keeps you from drowning in The River.

The River is your thoughts… your mind… all the things you have to do in the world.

The Currents App helps you keep The River organized so you can worry less.

Currents helps you feel The Lake.

The Lake represents the stillness behind your thoughts. Even when The River drowns it out, it’s always there.

The Currents App features a library of trauma-informed breathwork and somatic meditation sessions designed to help you find your way back to The Lake whenever you need it.

You’re here to have an impact.

We believe enlightenment is attained through the process of overcoming adversity and navigating obstacles, while building a life of impact, abundance, and service—and remembering that we don’t need to suffer through it.

“The Tao does nothing, yet nothing is left undone.”
— Lao Tzu, Tao Te Ching

How Currents
Works

Currents helps you clarify what you want across five core areas of your life—then helps you track the projects, actions, and habits that move you towards that vision, daily.

It does this with “The SIP Method,” which helps you move The River—one sip at a time—by regularly answering three simple questions:

  1. 1. What do I actually want?
  2. 2. How do I think I’ll get there?
  3. 3. What’s the intuitive path forward?
Take a SIP now
“Be the change you wish to see in the world.”

– Mahatma Gandhi

Spiritual insight has never been both more available—and less applied.

Enlightenment isn’t about blissing out for the rest of your life.

It’s about realizing that you have the power to design your life and help shape the world you live in.

The Midlife Mystic

Chief River Guide

The Midlife Mystic, Chief River Guide

Around 10am on a weekday in the summer of ’24, a former Tesla Head of Design, and named inventor on over 100 patents, was lying in bed.

His role at Tesla had come to an end due to his ideas being too out-of-the-box for the tech giant—crushing his dreams of impacting the world through an industry he thought was dedicated to saving it.

“What am I meant to do with my life?”

He wondered, desperately.

Then, he heard the voice of an angel:

“You’re The Midlife Mystic.”

In that moment, he understood the assignment:

Teach the good people of Earth that midlife is a time for rediscovering our true spiritual nature, so that we can all create the lives we most want to live, and have the impact we all came here to have.
