This is one HELL of an episode with honestly one of the most interesting and radical thinkers of our generation.
Jamie is a renaissance man. He's well known for his work writing Stealing Fire and creating the Flow Genome Projectโand as you'll hear in our conversation the book he has just published is unlike anything else you'll ever read.
I see Jamie as being a bridge between the spiritual and the scientific. He's pioneering studies with Johns Hopkins and MAPS whilst wading deep into questions of how to we evolve and mature as humans or in his wordsโhow do we "Stay awake. Build stuff. And help out."
In this conversation which felt more like a science-fiction rhapsody we bounce around between:
๐คฏ Why we're facing a new Meaning Crisis and the dangers of 'Rapture Ideologies'
๐งโโ๏ธ The Hedonic Yoga of Becoming experiment he dreamt up and ran with after a conversation with Roland Grifiths at MAPS
๐ We talk about grief and the real need for cultivating a culture of post-traumatic growth
๐ฎ How he's planning on launching a post-modern religion in hyperspace taking the form of an alternate reality game called Y-ANON.
Truly this has been one of my favourite and mind-bending conversations to dateโif you enjoyed it please take a few moments to share on the socials, go out and buy his book Recapture the Rapture and start experimenting with some of the protocols and practices that he shares (Bonus points if you send Jamie a letter telling him what youโve done!)
