Episode Notes
Jason Aylsworth is a licensed therapist and Zen practitioner.
We explored the messiness of the word “spirituality”, fungibility of self, mindfulness, the capacity to change, compulsive accomplishment, psychedelics, helping those who suffer, art, fiction, death, and other things.
Sincere thanks to Jason for making this possible. This helped us both appreciate things from new angles, and we hope it helps others do the same.

Discussion Invite
It is baffling, how we are all entangled with a black box hallucination machine known as the human brain, and barely anyone, broadly speaking, is curious how this works.
Can we explore this?
