In this episode, I share a disturbing dream that marked a turning point in my relationship with Attention, social media, and the systems we participate in.
It’s an exploration of the Magician archetype, the nature of illusion, and the subtle ways our Attention can be shaped, captured, and carried without us realizing it.
🎧 Press play on ep 315 to hear:
The Magician archetype in Jungian psychology and what it represents
How Attention can be shaped, redirected, and influenced without conscious awareness
Why illusion often feels good and why that matters
What it means to be in Right Relationship with technology
Attention as a relationship, not just a resource
Illusion as a natural part of human experience
The difference between being entranced vs empowered
The problem isn’t illusion. The problem is forgetting that you’re inside it.
I’d love you to join me in…
