Episode 10: The Goo we turn into

Today I introduce the inspiration behind starting my new project around Liminality, weirdness, media, and all things in between via Strange Static. Please go follow me there, as to respect the space of your inbox, I did not import my current email list. Strange Static is a separate project and the energy is very different. I also share the story behind the name (it has to do with my first introduction to Freddy Krueger). I also share a little bit about releasing shame about promoting our own work. I plan to delve into this more as I confront my own shame about sharing the work I make. One tidbit I forgot to mention is I am in the process of setting up a space to make a video version of the podcast (other than the podcast logo). I did already obtain a new mic, let me know if the audio experience was better. Send me your stories My inbox is open (starmothpress@gmail.com) to your stories regarding strange experiences and encounters with the liminal. I am also open for questions about any of the topics I cover: spirituality, creativity, curiosity, paranormal, consciousness, the human experience, mental health. I imagine the shape of this podcast will continue to develop and take shape as more time elapses.

Episode Five: Surrender and slow evaluation

Correction I mentioned “Be like water” which I thought was in the Tao Te Ching, but is actually a Bruce Lee quote. I am including the full quote here as I do find it insightful. I found this here. “Be like water making its way through cracks. Do not be assertive, but adjust to the object, and you shall find a way around or through it. If nothing within you stays rigid, outward things will disclose themselves. Empty your mind, be formless. Shapeless, like water. If you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup. You put water into a bottle and it becomes the bottle. You put it in a teapot, it becomes the teapot. Now, water can flow or it can crash. Be water, my friend.” ―Bruce Lee Other Notes: Buy my book: grace in every moment Let’s Connect!

Bonus Episode: The Collage Pod

Today I share the first reading from my collage deck made on playing cards. There are 43 cards all together. Our three cards were climb, depth and curiosity. I riff on this reading, provide message, prompts and a challenge to create your own collage based on this reading. I share the process of my collage creation during the video. If enjoyed, I’ll try to add this type of bonus at the beginning of each month — time and health allowing. There are now 3-card readings available from this deck on my ko-fi for $11. You’ll receive a PDF with a photo of the cards pulled, the message plus prompts and exercises to work with. Grab one here. Upon purchase you’ll be prompted to provide me with your email, and I’ll send it off 24-48 hours later. It’s a fun process. Let’s Connect!
