The Handbook for Accidental Awakening

Описание: When your identity starts to disintegrate, there's a fear that comes with it.

This is part 2 of Joe and Brett's conversation on awakening. Last time they covered what awakening is. This time: what it actually feels like when it happens, the different ways it shows up, and what to do when you're in the middle of it. Joe shares what he tells the people who call him mid-experience — some wanting it to persist, others begging for it to stop.

They discuss:
• 2 types of sudden awakening — and why one feels like a gift and the other feels like a crisis
• Head, heart, and gut: how the body processes each differently
• Why the fear is about self-definition
• What partners and loved ones go through (and why they sometimes try to diagnose it)
• The "fog walker" experience: when you barely notice it happened
• Brett's personal story: base jumping, his brother's passing, and an unexpected psychedelic-without-drugs moment
• Why nobody who integrates it wants to give it back
• What helps: ground, holding, community, and not believing every thought
