In this companion episode to The Story Behind 287 West, Beck guides listeners deeper into the hidden layers of meaning woven through myth, symbol, and Scripture. Together, we explore the ancient concept of the Green Language — the way truth hides in plain sight, asking us to look again with fresh eyes.

You’ll hear how numbers and symbols serve as more than mere curiosities; they are invitations into wisdom, pattern, and divine order. We also turn toward myth, entering the playful story of Hermes and Apollo’s stolen cattle — a tale of cleverness, language, and the origins of music that reveals profound truths about deceit, discovery, and divine exchange.

This episode offers both story and reflection, moving from teaching into practice. You’ll be invited to pause, breathe, and integrate these ideas into your own inner landscape.

Episode 1.5 is designed as a companion to Episode 1, providing depth, context, and practical ways to engage with the themes that shaped the birth of 287 West. If Episode 1 was the story, Episode 1.5 is the map of meaning that lies beneath it.

In this episode, Beck and Liv explore the symbolism of the Monarch butterfly and what it teaches us about sovereignty, transformation, and living as the ruler of our own inner kingdom.

They talk about the stages of metamorphosis — from caterpillar to cocoon to butterfly — and how these stages mirror the sacred pause, shadow work, and rebirth we go through as we mature spiritually.

This conversation is about claiming your inner monarchy — learning to create sacred containers for growth, stepping into spiritual authority, and returning to the Father’s presence again and again as you emerge into a higher, freer way of being.

“Life is beautiful, messy, and sometimes a little unfiltered — and so is 287 West. You may hear the occasional strong word, always in context and never careless, because we believe in telling the whole story just as it is.”
