ANECDOTE

Teenage Self-Recording Sparked Channeling

  • Jason Silva began recording himself in altered states at 16 to capture his unleashed creativity and test coherence later.
  • Watching the footage taught him his vigilant ego wasn't needed in those states and made him feel looser and freer.
ADVICE

Record Then Edit With Two Lenses

  • Record creative sessions to review them sober and decide what to keep or edit later.
  • Use different lenses (chronos and kairos) to evaluate raw inspiration more reliably.
INSIGHT

  • Flow states remove the self-editor making action and awareness merge into one seamless process.
