Fate, Free Will and a Year In the Chapel Perilous Oct 26, 2023

Show notes

If you had to boil down why you are where you are in life, how would you characterize that? Would you reverse engineer the circumstances of your life? Would you ascribe it to external forces? Would you liken it to fate, nature, or nurture? Perhaps a nice cocktail, a compatibilist concoction of all of the above?

I pose this question to because we're at a checkpoint (at least for me) -- It has been over a year since I made one of the most consequential decisions of my life, to quit my day job.

I've been thinking a lot about the forces that led me to make that decision and I think I've had something of a revelation. In this transmission, we'll explore said realization and more.

Synchronicity and the Secret Structure of Reality with Carl Jung, Rodger Penrose and Plato Oct 05, 2023

Show notes

Check out the full video version here

There's nothing like experiencing a really compelling synchronicity. As I said in my last transmission on the topic, it's like a glitch in the matrix orchestrated just for you. In that same video I covered a lot of the basics of synchronicity according to the man who coined the term, Swiss Psychiatrist, Carl Jung.

That said, I also shied away from some big questions -- What is synchronicity? Can we construct a compelling architecture for synchronicity that's plausible? Can you and should you try to bring more synchronicity into your life? Now that I've gathered some new information, I think we can answer those questions.

How To Find Your Soul with Plato, Carl Jung and James Hillman Sep 06, 2023

Show notes

*View the Full video version of this transmission here*

Mythopoetic psychologists like Carl Jung and James Hillman knew we needed to re-ensoul the psyche if we wanted to find real purpose in life. But what does that really mean? How do we even begin to go about understanding and finding our souls? In this transmission, I’ll attempt to answer those questions through ancient Platonic wisdom, the thought of Jung and Hillman, and, of course, some speculative wonder-dipping.
