I recently joined Robert, host of the Leafbox podcast, for a wide-ranging conversation on writing, creativity, and spiritual purpose—topics we first explored in the online course that I taught last fall, based on my (currently unpublished) book Writing at the Wellspring.
For those who prefer reading to listening, I’ve created a refined transcript that goes beyond a literal transcription, much like The Power of Myth book differs from its TV counterpart. The revised version enhances clarity, corrects errors, and makes the conversation more engaging as a stand-alone text.
The discussion covers themes like the daemon muse, nonduality, meditation, creative quietude, and the intersection of religion and horror. You’ll find section headings and a deeper exploration in the full post.
