    Episode 06 - Between Control and Collapse

    In this episode, we explore the psychological tightrope between stability and surrender: what it means to build emotional scaffolding, how the self organizes chaos, and why moments of collapse might actually signal deeper alignment. We dive into the layered myth of control, examining the quiet desperation behind composure, and uncover the sacred role of unraveling in the journey toward integration. This is where vulnerability sharpens insight . This is a public episode. If you would like to discuss this with other subscribers or get access to bonus episodes, visit layeredmyth.substack.com

    Episode 5 - The Ego as Mirror, Armor, and Architect

    In this milestone episode, I take a personal and analytical dive into our misunderstood relationship with ego — not as something to destroy, but something to understand, integrate, and even nurture. We explore the ego as a mirror of identity, an armor forged by fear and survival, and ultimately, as an architect — building emotional and psychological structures to protect us in a world that doesn’t always feel safe. Drawing on Carl Jung’s shadow theory, intuitive storytelling, and a growing philosophical lens, this episode bridges vulnerability with analysis. It’s not just theory — it’s an invitation to see ego as something more sacred and intelligent than we were taught to believe. If you’ve ever felt shame around your reactions, conflict in your self-image, or confusion about “who you really are,” this might be the episode where it all starts to make sense.

    Episode 03 - Rage, Refined: A Synthesis of Fire and Form (Episodes 1–2 Recap + Evolution)

    In this third episode, I revisit and refine the core threads explored in Episodes 1 and 2 , tracing our evolving theory of rage across its many forms: private, performative, cultural, neurochemical, and inherited. This is a more structured, analytical synthesis of the frameworks already introduced, offering a more academic lens on what it means to feel, suppress, and display rage in today’s hyper-social world. We explore: * The myth of the “calm genius” * How rage is socialized and rewarded * Private rage as an internal ritual * And the unseen neurochemical and psychological patterns that shape it This is a public episode.

    Episode 01 - The Performed Furnace: A Theory of Rage, Authenticity, and the Spectacle of Emotion in Modern Consciousness

    In this episode, I unpack the quiet violence of rage, not as explosive outbursts, but as performative expressions shaped by social mirrors, cultural masks, and the fear of being truly seen. What does real rage sound like in solitude? Why do we perform emotion, even when it feels real? And how does the spectacle of rage shape the stories we tell about power, masculinity, and control?
