“You are an individual, unique piece of this whole that we are all part of, and it’s not complete without you.”

– Lindy Nelson

🧠🌰🪷

In this psychonautical odyssey, some sober guy named Tom (NOT from Myspace) is joined by two lovely humans, Jay and Lindy Nelson, authors of a book titled Consciousness in a Nutshell, to crack open the endlessly complex black box that is consciousness.

This episode won't teach you more than a 4-year degree — but it's more compact, less costly, and lightyears more enjoyable than a lecture from an uptight professor who insists on everyone calling him "Doctor." (You know who you are, Dr. Robert. 👀)

Turn on, tune in, and D̶R̶O̶P̶ O̶U̶T̶ voyage inward with us!

Course Outline:

• The enlightening potential of Creative Nonfiction storytelling


• Self-awareness: is it possible to truly perceive yourself the way others perceive you?


• Social media algorithms pushing outlandish conspiracy theories (like Dave Chapelle being replaced by a clone of himself)


• Jay’s revelatory Near Death Experience (NDE) — “The Life Review Boomerang”


• Altered States 101: how to override the narrative self (EGO) and the default mode network (DMN), with or without psychedelics
