We are really going to accelerate the apocalypse if we don't really take a good look at this stuff and find out how to respectfully approach the knowledge that comes from altered states.
What happens when you mix cognitive science, philosophy, and a dash of progressive metal? You get a fascinating conversation on 'Flight of Thoughts'. In this episode, Jake sits down with Daniel Greig, an educator and artist from Toronto, to tackle some heavy themes like trauma, darkness, and the intricacies of the human mind.
Daniel brings his expertise in cognitive science and philosophy to the table, sharing how dark imagery influences our thinking and how altered states of consciousness can aid in healing. They also dive into the concept of enlightenment and the various paths one can take to achieve it. Daniel's work on a book with Dr. John Vervaeke, titled 'The Cognitive Continuum: From Insight to Enlightenment', provides a backdrop for these discussions.
Beyond the academic talk, Daniel shares personal anecdotes and insights from his experiences in organizing the Mapping the Mind conference and his adventures in music production. The episode isn't just a lecture; it's a deep, philosophical journey that touches on spirituality, art, and the challenges of post-traumatic growth. One key takeaway? Approach altered states with respect and caution. The knowledge gained can be transformative but mishandling it can lead to unintended consequences.
This episode is perfect for anyone interested in the intersection of mental health, spirituality, and personal growth. Tune in for a thought-provoking ride through the depths of human experience.
