Your Existential Dread is a Completely Rational Response

If you feel like you’re starving in front of a feast of infinite choices while breathing the stale air of a life that doesn't belong to you, you know what it feels like to be suffocated by the digital bell jar.

Sylvia Plath’s 1963 masterpiece, The Bell Jar, serves as a map for the specific brand of suffocation we all endure in our hyper-curated era. Together we’ll explore the concept of the "fig tree" of infinite potential and see how the modern algorithm uses that very same imagery to keep you existentially paralyzed, watching fake lives rot while your own biological reality stays stagnant.

We’ll cover the necessity of the descent into the psychological underworld and the total lack of guided initiations in our sterilized culture. Most of us are left to raise ourselves because our elders stayed trapped in their own stunted adolescence. This episode will explore the alchemical process of falling apart and the violent beauty of shattering the glass to reclaim your inner authority.

JOIN THE WAITLIST FOR MOODS: The modern world offers zero support for the underworld journey. I designed Moods as a pre-social technology to house the raw material of your inner life. Sign up for the waitlist now at moods.world.
