Your life is not one big tidy chronological tale. It has layers. It’s a nesting doll of discursive stories pressed upon you by culture, genetics and circumstance.

But those narrative-driven imperatives, no matter how minuscule or profound, actually obfuscate your real story. The one comprised of a synthesis between your greatest potential and most horrific fear. The one that calls out to you via subtle pangs of restlessness and existential angst. The one emanating from a locked box in the darkest, most frightening corner of your psychic basement.

That corner, of course, is precisely where you must go.

Musings in this mind meld include – 

• Choosing or rejecting immortality – would the world be a better place if we never had to die?

• Be ware of the hedonic treadmill

• Tuning your soul’s song, the Sisyphus act of creativity and being rescued by flow

• There’s only one real story. To find it, you must venture into the abyss

• You’re allowed to succeed

• You’re in your life NOW, it doesn’t start at in some hypothetical future

• Thought experiment – Pretend everyone is a teacher

• If you had a chance to do whatever you wanted with your life, would you even know what to choose?

• “You are a drop in the ocean but you’re also an ocean in a drop”

• Metaphors only go so far, eventually you must experience

• Do we have to have a firsthand psychedelic or mystical experience to really understand spirituality?

• The mystery is messy
