Episode 12 - 3D Poetry with PJ from Poster Journal


Listen Later

Welcome to Crystal Ballers, a podcast celebrating the audacity to create our future now, with your hosts Britten LaRue and Natasha Levinger.

This week, Natasha & Britten are excited to welcome special guest, PJ of Poster Journal. Poster Journal is a public diary that doesn't hold back—a bold mix of wit, candor, and all-caps chaos. Its minimalist style is nostalgic yet timeless, speaking from the heart (and sometimes screaming). Launched anonymously in 2020, Poster Journal has evolved into a loud, unfiltered voice in the art world, growing more acidic and unabashed with each passing year. With phrases that are as vulnerable as they are biting, Poster Journal captures the messiness of being human and dares its followers to do the same. Its mission? To say what you're thinking so you don't have to.

In this episode:

  • PJ loves any opportuity to talk about himself
  • The energy of PJ's prints
  • Becoming an audience of your mind
  • Ideas are not rare; they are one of the most abundant resources
  • PJ's technique of 3-D poetry
  • Channeling ideas is vital to their authenticity
  • "If these ideas are not helpful to me first, they won't be helpful to anyone else."
  • The scary idea of being alone in living at a given frequency
  • You might not have these kinds of ideas, but they are available to anyone
  • PJ didn't always have access to these ideas
  • Living in a channel of desperation, fear, confusion
  • Saved by "Letters to a Young Poet"
  • Your inner turmoil is the material; your work as an artist is to honestly depict it
  • If you're always looking for misery, you're going to create more of it
  • Needed to find positivity and affirmations that we're saccharine and paper-thin
  • "The trick is to take being unserious very seriously."
  • Humor releases pain from everything
  • Giving people permission to be a whole person; happy, angry, messy, all of it
  • The ego can be very funny and silly
  • Started in 2020 when the pandemic took everything away and PJ started learning about stoic philosophy
  • "I put on a mask, so I can be myself."
  • What is a 12th House Sun sign?
  • Giving your inner child an opportunity to be expressed and not denied
  • Not wanting to pick any one aspect of your personality to express
  • Confronting the fear of seeming like a narcissist when you are proud
  • Self-love is the beginning of all love
  • PJ talks about having haters
  • Using constraints to inspire rather than inhibit
  • Realizing you are not your thoughts
  • Training yourself out of evaluating while you are creating
  • How do you decide which ideas to write down
  • The confirmation is in your spine!
  • Activating your light codes
  • Learning not to ignore your intuition when you hear it
  • The value of being a court jester
  • A harmless selfishness
  • And more
  • Plus...

          Crystal Ballers is a weekly podcast hosted by mystics Natasha Levinger and Britten LaRue. Inspired by Pluto’s shift into Aquarius, it’s space to celebrate the audacity to create our Future now. In a world that minimizes the subjective experience, it takes swagger to validate our dreams, desires, and visions in co-creation with the unseen, the unexplainable, and the felt. Britten and Natasha invite listeners into the concept of "skilled feelership" - the practice of honoring and developing one's intuitive abilities as a skill, rather than seeing it as a fixed trait. They explore the reclamation of feminine power, intuitive development, and the collective shift happening in 2025 and beyond. With weekly episodes and monthly guests, Crystal Ballers’ primary goal is to support listeners in staying present to their power no matter what astrological and energetic shifts are present.
