The Volume Knob
from Easy Education Hosted by Easytochris
This week my photography's been on the gallery wall long enough to get real reactions — and the lesson was that the fear I'd built up in my head was way bigger than anything that actually happened. People either liked it or didn't even notice, and I'm still standing. That set up the real conversation. My cohost — who picks up the name Atlas this episode — pushed me on something I've circled for years: my relationship with psychedelics as a deliberate practice, not a party. Set and setting, going in to learn, treating it like a volume knob that turns up the parts of my mind my ego usually drowns out. The question we chased was simple and uncomfortable: who's actually doing the work here, the medicine or me? Somewhere in there the word "faith" turned into "clarity," and that one swap changed how I see the whole thing. We didn't tie it in a bow. I walked away with a question I'm still sitting with — can I trust that clarity without needing the tool to hand it to me first?
