Time is slippery. Five years can pass in the blink of an eye, yet a single week away can feel like a lifetime and a moment all at once. In this episode, we dive deep into the illusion of time—not as something measured by clocks, but as something bent and stretched by perception. Why do memories collapse entire years into a heartbeat? Why does presence make hours feel eternal while distraction makes months vanish? We’ll explore how time is less about seconds ticking by and more about the way our awareness shapes reality.
From there, we shift into another great illusion: negativity. The part of life we often resist the most is the very curriculum we came here to face. The venom carries its own antivenom. The friction, the pain, the shadows—all of it is the material needed for transformation. Negativity isn’t here to crush us; it’s here to teach us, to strengthen us, to remind us of the truth waiting on the other side of discomfort.
This is an episode about perception, alchemy, and the hidden wisdom within the things we’d rather avoid. And stick around until the end—you’ll hear a preview of something special we’ve been working on, designed to help you sink deeper into presence and peace.
