If you’ve been initiated into our conversational coven, you’re aware of what we do here. But in case you haven’t–

Typically, myself and another fascinating being or two rub mind tinder together until it (hopefully) smolders. A third thing emerges from the linguistic friction for you to interpret, witness and wield as you will.

Speaking of heat, what better thing is there to do with a flame than cook up a big old pot of comfort food?

If there is such a thing as comfort food in the Third Eye Drops conversational universe, or better yet, converse-a-verse (ha ha), it’s chats with my very good pal, Cory Allen.

Cory is one of my very favorite wonder-dippers to rub talk tinder with, so much so that I have to consciously limit how often I do them. Every few weeks I inevitably think to myself “I should have Cory back on!” only to realize I just had him in the midst of the mind meld a month prior. He’s just one of those friends where conversation is effortless and endlessly stimulating. It also helps that he’s one of the most talented humans I know. Cory hosts the Astral Hustle podcast, he creates fantastic fare like meditation courses, binaural beats and on top of all of that, he’s got a book coming out on the legendary Penguin publishing.
