Distress Homeostasis and the "Virus" -- Dispelling the Noise to Find the Middle Way
In a world saturated with noise, distortion, and narrative manipulation, we need to examine the psychological and spiritual consequences of overstimulation, the subtle tyranny of language, and the fragility that emerges when challenge disappears. I talk about concepts like distress homeostasis, the illusion of control, the spellcraft of words like viral, and the deeper call to inhabit paradox, presence, and inner sovereignty as living practices.
