NitN 3 – Seven of Cups (A Wealth of Topics)
In the first releasable episode we ever recorded, JT and Geoff talk transcending obnoxious Redditor atheism, the overlaps between Magick, placebo and folk cures and a ton more!
Bo Burnham’s Inside: a Metamodern Masterpiece Co-opted by Algorithmic Cynicism
Bo Burnham employs raw emotional intensity and cheeky irony in an attempt to “heal the world with comedy” in his Netflix special, Inside. For some on TikTok, it might have worked too well, but maybe that was inevitable.
Chaos Ritual: Shadow Work
1: Shadow (Yeesh, Geoff. Your Journal used to be Emo AF…) There is a side of me that Carl Jung would call my Shadow. When given control of my meat vessel through my conscious brain checking out, getting drunk, becoming distracted, wandering or otherwise ending up inebriated, it propels me to behave in ways that I would characterize as unloveable.

NitN 2 – Trip Report Part 2 (Trauma, Trauma, Trauma)
Part Two of the Trip Report! With a psychedelic journey narrative as a backbone, we both enjoy diversions into math, compassion, and more while we work to heal the inevitable trauma that we all inherit as babies born amid a boring dystopia rapidly circling the drain and threatening to take even the most loving, wonderful people with it.

How Can I See Myself as Queer if the Self Is an Illusion?
My spiritual teachers are unanimous: there is no “self.” But when we talk about authentic self-expression, aren’t we talking about our outsides reflecting what that illusory inner pilot feels? That’s where I started last night. I finished identifying as non-binary.
Nodes in the Net – a New Podcast!
This podcast establishes the Creekmasons as a node in the internet; a gathering place; a reflection of the (inter)net in whole; an interbeing-esque connection to every infinite speck of divinity housed in the atoms of the material world.
Don’t Skip Leg Day
Sometimes it’s worthwhile to climb out of the warren, up through the rabbit hole you’ve been drawn into, and find a Default Reality explanation for a revelation you’ve too credulously accepted. If you don’t, you’ll end up looking as silly as a gym rat who spends all their time on their chest, back and arms and gives off vibes of an upside-down triangle perched precariously on toothpicks.
Reincarnating Better
When a memory eddies into the present, a dead you is being reincarnated. As I sat quietly the other day—engaged more in “thinking with my eyes closed” than in meditating—an old embarrassment bubbled to the surface and I realized that the “me” who endured that experience is dead…
