Becoming a Dharma Artist: Discovering Model Agnosticism
The journey to becoming a Dharma Artist starts with embracing model agnosticism, as shared by the speaker's personal experience of navigating a psychotic episode in 2011. The philosophy of 'I don't know and you don't know' from Robert Anton Wilson's book, Prometheus Rising, allowed for a transformative shift towards living a life free from paranoid-flavored psychosis. This concept encouraged continuous evolution of perspectives and the acceptance of uncertainty, leading to the realization of embracing the identity of a Dharma Artist.
Dharma Artist: Embracing Pragmatic Mythic Play
A key aspect of being a Dharma Artist involves engaging in pragmatic mythic play, understanding life as a profound metaphor akin to a video game that offers insights into consciousness. By navigating the game of life through continuous evolution, listening to outcomes, and iterating based on experiences, Dharma Artists aim to reduce suffering and enhance flourishing for all beings. This approach combines mythic play with pragmatic learning, fostering a transformative journey towards collective well-being.
Dedication to Craft and Regenerative Communication of a Dharma Artist
Dharma Artists commit to honing their craft as a path to manifesting their Dharma and contributing positively to the collective. Through dedication, they cultivate discipline, humility, and grace while tapping into elevated states of consciousness like flow and insight. Furthermore, Dharma Artists prioritize regenerative communication, fostering inner and outer collective growth by embracing dialogue, unity, and understanding within themselves and with others. This holistic approach towards personal and societal transformation embodies the essence of a Dharma Artist's commitment to healing and evolution.
If you've ever wanted to work with me, this is the container. It's a 13 week online community that culminates in a 5-day in-person summit with the rest of the Fit For Service community.
If you want to hear about my first darkness experience, I wrote about it here, and I podcasted about it here.
