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.
