Productivity Starts With Courage
I recently starting developing a new deep dive course, which I expect to launch later this calendar quarter. It’s called Engage, and my intentions for it are ambitious. Engage is about optimizing personal productivity and creating a powerfully engaged life. It’s going to be unlike any productivity course or book you’ve ever seen before. This will be our 6th course, and I want it to be our very best one – helping a wide range of people experience major productivity breakthroughs. I’m framing this as our one course to rule them all. I want this to be our #1 flagship course. These are the big r...

Submersion Social Deep Dive Is Complete
Our Submersion Social Deep Dive experience concluded on January 6th, 2023. This was a series of 9 bonus Zoom calls that I hosted for Submersion course members, one call per week for about 2 months. This was a really beautiful journey for those who partook of it. On these calls members shared their experiences, and we did extra practice exercises together. I also shared some additional insights on Subjective Reality and ways to apply the course ideas. Perhaps the most fun part was that each week we collectively selected and energized a new intention to weave into the journey – including using an intentional tracer. ...

Installing Acoustic Panels
One project that I’ve been wanting to do for a while was to add acoustic panels to my home studio and office. Acoustic panels absorb sound, so they can greatly help to reduce room echo. Some rooms in my house are very echoey, which can be noticeable when doing recordings or live calls in an untreated room. Previously my studio was ringed with several sound blankets (80 inches square) hanging on light stands. That was acoustically effective but rather ugly, and I didn’t like that the blankets blocked the windows too. I used the sound blankets for a few years to good effect though. There are many YouTube vi...

What It ’ s Like Being Me
I love asking people this question: What is it really like being you? We can see how people speak and behave on the outside, but what do we know of their interior perspective? What I love about this question is that it invites real intimacy and empathy. It’s an invitation into trust. I feel honored when someone does their best to answer honestly. It’s fascinating to discover how someone frames and experiences their interior world, at least to the extent they can articulate it. I thought it would be interesting to answer this question too, if only to see what comes through when I try to answer it. Ce...

Frequencies of Experience
I often think of life as summation of different experiential frequencies, much like different musical instruments can combine to create a song. Some frequencies combine harmoniously while others would sound discordant if you tried to merge them. What about I find most interesting about this model is that it helps me discover when some frequencies are holding me back from having new experiences. I cannot always invite new frequencies into my life when pre-existing frequencies are anchoring me to a different range. Usually I must detach myself – or at least loosen my grip – from some anchor frequencies, so I can fl...

Insights From a Plant Medicine Journey
I had a fascinating weekend of plant medicine journeying that involved taking several different substances: kanna, white lily, psilocybin (mushrooms), and ayahuasca… mostly the latter two. I had only done ayahuasca before (3 years ago for 4 nights in a row in Costa Rica). I shared the insights from that previous experience here: Lessons From Ayahuasca. In this post I’ll share my experience of this recent journey while it’s still fresh in mind and heart. If you’re short on time and only want to skim the insights instead of reading the details about what it was like, feel free to scroll down to the sectio...

Exploring AI Art Co-Creation
As I’ve been playing around with AI art tools, I decided to update the associated images for our courses. I wanted to come up with a more unique and personal expression than using the old stock images as we’ve been doing for the past few years. This was a relatively small project, and it gave me a nice reason to delve into some interesting AI tools to better assess their capabilities. I definitely learned a lot and very much enjoyed the experience. With most of the images I iterated dozens of times, feeding incremental images back to the AI tools and prompting them to keep evolving those images in directi...

Submersion Vibes and Intentions
In my previous post, I invited people to enroll in the new Submersion course deep dive on Subjective Reality, which is the perspective that you could be living in a simulation or dream world of some kind. So far 211 people have signed up, which is awesome! I expect that many more will join by the deadline on Thursday, November 3rd. In this post I’ll share more about the intentions and vibes that I imagine for this 60-day group experience.

Submersion Group Deep Dive Begins Nov 1st
Our Submersion course group deep dive experience begins on Tuesday, November 1, 2022. You’ll find all the details in today’s blog post about it.

Vegan Milestone Reached
This month I reached an interesting vegan milestone. I’m finally at the point where I can now say that I’ve been vegan for most of my life. I was non-vegan for the first 25.75 years of my life (309 months). For the last 3.5 of those years, I was lacto-ovo vegetarian. I’ve now been vegan for the past 25.8 years of my life (309.5 months), finally surpassing my years as a non-vegan. This assumes we don’t count my time in the womb. It will take a bit longer to compensate for those extra 9 months. Of all the personal growth changes and challenges I appreciate having gone through, going vegan...

How I Think About My Life and Work
I often think about my life as a flow of experiential explorations. I’ve found it overwhelming to consider the vast array of possibilities that life presents objectively. Traversing just a fraction of this space could occupy endless lifetimes, so that framing doesn’t bring much clarity and leaves me adrift. Instead I create clarity by thinking of experiences as a summation of different vibes. A vibe is the inner, subjective flavor of an experience, similar to qualia. It’s what I experience internally when living through an outer experience. This includes my emotions and the thoughts I have along the way. I t...

Let ’ s Do a Submersion Deep Dive Together!
I mentioned the idea of doing a Submersion course group deep dive experience together in my latest blog post about How to Shift Into a New Reality Faster. Submersion is a 60-day audio course with daily lessons and exercises to practice the perspective that you could be living in a simulation of sorts. I recorded Submersion in 2018 and 2019, and it’s been one of our most popular courses ever since (actually the #1 course in terms of sales). Submersion is ageless, so it’s just as relevant today as it was when it was first recorded. In fact, I recorded it with the intention that I would someday go through the cour...
