Layman Pascal used to be a meditation and yoga teacher — but he’s feeling better now.
He’s a post-metaphysical spiritual philosopher. That means he has the ability to re-enchant your experience of the world without triggering your inner skeptic. He also philosophizes about metamodernism, Integral Theory, nonduality, theology, shamanism, existential risk and politics.
Topics include:
Layman’s extended peak experience that began at a bus stop
How to train your will with dreams, art and synchronicities
Shamanism and the harnessing of subconscious intelligence
The 3 proto-skills needed for an effective life of practice
How to generate a wisdom tradition (hint: you need art)
Why “self-discipline” is a misleading idea and what to do instead
How serving others is the best strategy for building self-esteem
How Andrew Huberman is inadvertently promoting a wisdom tradition
Adi Da’s “motivational hack”
Why so many experienced meditators seem soulless, un-vital and passive
Lucid dreaming

How to get started on this stuff even though it’s overwhelming
