Apocalyptic Chats episode 246: Creativity, Consciousness & The Mythic Journey of Becoming

​

In this conversation, I join Zen Benefiel, Founder of Planetary Citizens to explore creativity, consciousness, and the evolving relationship between humanity, mythology, and personal sovereignty.

We discuss how curiosity becomes a gateway into transformation—moving from exploration, to understanding, to embodiment—and how creative practice can serve as a path toward coherence, integration, and deeper awareness of self and world. Themes in this episode include neurodiversity, intuition, mythic thinking, spiritual inquiry, and the role of creativity in shaping both individual experience and collective evolution.

At the heart of the conversation is a simple but powerful idea: Creativity is a faculty of sovereignty.

This episode reflects the kind of dialogue I often bring into my speaking work—bridging art, meaning, human development, and the search for a more coherent future.
