This is part one of my conversation with Jason Patterson about art, spiritual awakening and the nature of true intelligence.
Jason and I worked together as entry level grunts in a customer service call center about five years ago. We used to have the most in-depth conversations on philosophy and individual freedom during our coffee breaks. Everyone around us thought we were nuts but we knew who had the goods.
I invited Jason to have another one of those deep conversations on my podcast so you can get a glimpse into the hell it has been for us to put the pieces together so that they fit in our minds.
Throughout both parts of this Blog Cast, Jason and I discuss:
- The difficulty of collaborating with others in an artistic venture
- The similarities between Tool and Pink Floyd and what I believe is Maynard’s overall vision
- The meat of the conversation is about Jason’s decision to stay away from highly-opinionated and fear-based mindsets (aka "Rush Limbaugh") and what this means in terms of reaching individual Enlightenment for yourself
- Jason tells us the most inspiring book he’s ever read (hint: I bought it for him)
