This transmission is for the wanderers, the ones who've stepped off the prescribed path and into the beautiful uncertainty of not knowing where they're going.We explore what it means to trust the journey when there's no map, why getting lost might be the most honest way to live, and how wandering can be its own form of wisdom. Sometimes the bravest thing you can do is admit you don't know what you're doing—and do it anyway.

I End with the Fool
08/05/2025 Duración: 12minIn this intimate soul signal, I share the final reflection from my most recent journal—and the unexpected archetype who showed up to close the book: the Fool, the Jester, the Eternal Trickster. This episode is part personal essay, part mythic meditation, and part invitation to reimagine how we end and begin our inner chapters. You’ll hear how a single tarot card, drawn “by chance,” became a symbolic seal on a season of becoming—and how the Fool reminds us that every ending is a disguised threshold. This isn’t just an audio essay. It’s a ritual of remembrance for storythinkers, soulcrafters, and seekers standing at the edge of their next page.Inside this episode: The mythic power of journaling as a soulcraft practiceWhy the Fool archetype is a guide for both ending and beginningWhat it means to close a journal like you’re sealing a spellA soulful prompt to guide your next threshold crossing“Every journal is a forge.

Reality by Design: The Thinker, the Prover, and You
09/04/2025 Duración: 06minWhat if your brain is less like a truth detector and more like a belief-confirming machine? In this episode, we dive into one of Robert Anton Wilson’s most potent mind-bombs: the Thinker-Prover dynamic from Prometheus Rising.Your Thinker forms beliefs. Your Prover goes out and finds the evidence. Whatever you believe—threat or magic, doom or synchronicity—your Prover will prove it. That’s not just metaphor; it’s the engine behind your reality tunnel.We explore:The brain as a bio-computer with confirmation biasReality tunnels and how they’re builtBelief as a tool—not a truthHow to practice belief engineering as a path to freedomThis isn’t about being right—it’s about being free. About wielding belief like a magician, not wearing it like a leash. Listen now and install a new lens. Reality’s more malleable than you think.

Story’s Answer to the Meaning of Life (And Why Logic Was Never Going to Save Us)

The Return of Story
20/03/2025 Duración: 08minFor centuries, we’ve been conditioned to believe that logic is king and story is its court jester—entertaining but ultimately frivolous. From the moment we step into a classroom, we’re trained to think in bullet points, equations, and neatly categorised facts. We’re rewarded for linear reasoning and penalised for wandering too far down imaginative paths.But here’s the thing: our brains don’t work that way. We are creatures of story. We make sense of the world not through cold, mechanical logic, but through myths, narratives, and meaning woven from experience. Storytelling is the oldest and most natural way of learning, yet it has been systematically erased from education in favour of rigid logic, industrial efficiency, and standardised thinking.In this episode, we crack open the foundations of this system and ask: Why were we taught to think against our nature? What happens when we reclaim storytelling as our primary way of knowing? The answer is more than a return to an old way of thinking—it’s a quiet revol

But Hyatt, isn’t speaking in riddles—he’s pointing to something fundamental about identity, limitation, and personal power. Let's discuss.

The Existential Chaos Magician
19/02/2025 Duración: 19minReality is not what it seems—it’s a construct, a fragile illusion upheld by collective belief. For those who glimpse beyond the veil, the realization can be both liberating and terrifying: nothing has inherent meaning. Some recoil into nihilism, paralyzed by the absurdity of it all. But the Existential Chaos Magician? They see this as the ultimate opportunity.This post is an invocation—a challenge to embrace the void, not as an abyss, but as an open field of possibility. If meaning is a construct, then belief is a tool. If the rules of reality are arbitrary, then you can rewrite them. The Existential Chaos Magician moves through life with intent, shaping reality through will, perception, and play. This is not passive acceptance but active creation.What does it mean to truly live on your own terms? To discard imposed narratives, sculpt your own mythology, and transform the chaos of existence into personal power? This post explores the guiding principles, practices, and mindset of the Existential Chaos Magician
