🌙 The Golden World

There are places inside us that don’t speak English.
They don’t live in logic, strategy, or even memory.

They show up in sensation. In symbols. In dreams.
In the silence between thoughts — when something stirs that doesn’t quite have a name.

Todd Peyton calls this inner terrain The Golden World.

It’s not an escape.
It’s not fantasy.
It’s the quiet vibratory field inside each of us — the one that knows who we are before the world told us who to be.

A Monastery on the Edge of the Map

Todd didn’t learn about the Golden World from a book.
He learned it from sitting — hour after hour, day after day — in a Burmese monastery where silence was the language, and presence was the teacher.

He trained under Sayadaw Gyi Ti Saun G, a master of Vipassana meditation.
Over seven visits, Todd spent nearly two years in total silence — shaving his head, wearing robes, and sleeping on a wooden floor while he studied the depths of the psyche through the body.

These weren’t casual retreats.
They were initiations.

Physical pain, emotional collapse, psychic openings — all part of the path.
He didn’t go looking for spiritual experiences. But they found him anyway.

Meeting What Lives Beneath Thought

In the monastery, Todd learned how to tolerate things most people spend their lives avoiding — discomfort, disorientation, the raw edge of the unknown.

He learned how to stay when others would run.

And in that stillness, something opened.
He began sensing realms that didn’t move with time — what some would call archetypal, astral, or energetic realities.
Beings that didn’t originate in imagination, but seemed to exist on their own — in another vibrational layer of experience.

“I don’t talk about this often,” Todd says, “because most people don’t have language for it.
But when someone does — when they’ve touched that place — I know immediately.
And they know I won’t turn away.”

Bringing It Home

Todd doesn’t expect his clients to meditate in caves or study Eastern cosmology.
But the world he trained in shaped the way he listens, the way he sees, and the way he works.

When someone walks into a session with Todd — exhausted, unclear, on the verge of emotional collapse — he’s not overwhelmed.
He knows that terrain.

He’s walked it himself.

And he knows that sometimes, the confusion someone is experiencing isn’t dysfunction — it’s initiation.
The Golden World is stirring again.
And it wants to be met with reverence — not resistance.

Why This Matters

The people who resonate with Todd’s work aren’t always in crisis.
But they are often in transition — between selves, between beliefs, between lives.

They’re sensitive but competent.
Disoriented, but not broken.
And somewhere inside, they know something sacred is trying to reintroduce itself.

Todd doesn’t provide answers.
He offers presence.

A place to reconnect with what’s real, and what’s been waiting — patiently — underneath the noise.
