Some instruments are played. Others play you.

Benjamin Symes is one of the world's most visible practitioners of the Pyradym, a chakra-aligned analog sound and light instrument with fewer than sixty in existence. He came to it from an unlikely place: the New York underground house scene, where his ear was already attuned to low frequency and its effect on the body. What he found in the Pyradym, and what found him, became the work of his life.

In this conversation we get into:

• How a DJ from NYC nightlife became a sound practitioner 

• What the Pyradym actually is, and why so few exist in the world 

• Sothis, Sirian contact, and the channeled message that redirected his path 

• Sound as a carrier of information, not just vibration 

• What it asks of a person to surrender to an instrument that carries its own intelligence

This is episode one of Make Your Own World, the rebranded continuation of the Journey Mindfulness Podcast. Same host. Broader frame. We're going where the work has always pointed.
