Nodes in the Net

This intricate linguistic waltz with the wizardly Layman Pascal was truly one of the most engaging conversations Geoff's had the privilege of enjoying, either here on the podcast or in his 34 years of life in meatspace. This is exactly the kind of integrity-leavened concept-genius that we want in the vanguard of our liminal movement. Trust me.

What a delight, honor and joy it is to get to talk to Tifnee about the Hot Alien Summer Camp, consciousness and the nature of reality. With Jessa Reed as the Aliens' sort of para-guru, but a devout commitment to decentralized, collaborative, autonomous vibe maintenance and personal awakening, the Aliens are a beautiful group of souls who I'm profoundly grateful to have in my life. I hope they enjoy this episode, and I hope you will too!

What follows is one of the clearest attempts I've ever spit into a microphone to capture the mission of the Creekmasons as they exist today, the day before 2023's Winter Solstice. More and more I'm thinking these Holiday Hiatus episodes are a worthy introduction to the Creekmasons. It sure feels cozy in this Winter Solstice cocoon. I can't want for the days to start getting longer, though. And again, with the new year, comes new guests! Stay tuned.

Ever felt like you weren't mainlining nearly enough unhinged ranting straight into your sweet sweet cortical folds? Today's Holiday Hiatus episode of Nodes in the Net might be just the earbeating you're looking for. Listen to me manically leap frog one tangent after another for about half an hour, then enjoy the full text of one of my all-time favorite Creekmasons essays!

Be careful with this one. You're gonna get blasted in the face with a long rant about how paranoia and cultiness are opposite poles of a toxic spectrum of which I prefer to explore the warm, radiant middle section. I prefer to be ping-ponging between Me and We and never fully belonging in either. Or maybe, someday, belonging in both, but not in a reaching and grasping rugged individualist way nor as the desperate dupe of some imperfect mortal with their own karmic baggage but enough phony holy spiritual wisdom and charismatic mojo to get people to let him turn them into the Manson Family. After that, I'll be reading from the essay which introduces jt as the first Creekmason Adeptus Maker... figured I had to balance the news of the Creekmason cult growing with a resolution to never actually allow it to subjugate others.

The Nodes in the Net Holiday Hiatus continues with this second installment. In this episode, after a short rant about the defeat that I sometimes inexplicably feel when I can't live up to the productivity standards dictated to me by my own internalized capitalism demons, I read the Canonical Creekmason Pieces first edition, the Who We Are essay.

This is a great place to start if you're brand new to Nodes in the Net or to the Creekmasons!

If you missed the Black Friday sale on the epic poem read at last week's Nodes episode, not to worry! The eBook is still as low-priced as Amazon self-publishing will allow me to make it!

Nodes in the Net is going on a guest hiatus for the rest of the year. We're going to be coming back strong in 2024 with some guests that I've already recorded with and am INCREDIBLY PSYCHED ABOUT, but for now, please enjoy this journey through the archives. In today's canonical Creekmason piece, we've got an excerpt from The Mental Appendage, which is going on sale for Black Friday! Get yourself a copy and please let me know what you think!
