Listen "Creativity, Ego & Psychedelics"

Episode Synopsis

A spontaneous dive into the raw, messy beauty of the creative process. No script. No filter. Just presence, flow, and a little cosmic chaos.In this stream-of-consciousness meditation, I explore how real creativity arises—not from force or effort, but from surrender. I talk ego, creative blocks, AI soullessness, psychedelic perception, and what it means to become a muse for something greater than the self.If you’re someone who’s tired of polished performance and starving for soul in your work—this is for you.🌀 I also mention my 1:1 mentoring near the end. If you resonate and want to work together on deepening your creative or spiritual path, drop me a message.–––Timestamps (Chapters):00:01 – Presence, spontaneity, and stream-of-consciousness01:24 – The friction of forcing insight03:56 – Why overthinking blocks creativity05:00 – Becoming a muse: ego, energy, and creative flow07:00 – Letting go of identity to make real art08:59 – Playing safe vs. dancing with chaos10:40 – AI and the loss of soul in art12:55 – Can machines create real novelty?14:40 – Psychedelics and perception as creative technology16:45 – Seeing beyond the veil of the everyday18:54 – Social conditioning and the matrix of the mind20:52 – Why meditators often misunderstand psychedelics22:00 – Shamanic reintegration and altered states23:05 – Closing thoughts + 1:1 mentoring invitation
