Astrognosis Event and the Higher Side Cathedral
Greg Carlwood expresses a desire to facilitate physical gatherings for digital communities, inspired by the Astrognosis event. He jokes about buying an old church in retirement to create a "Higher Side Cathedral." Christopher Knowles mentions that White had long pressured him to start a Patreon, which he finally did after Marvel "fired their entire staff."
Astrognosis Conference, Philip K. Dick and Fourth Way Insights
Host Greg Carlwood reflects on his recent attendance at the Astrognosis event, noting several "synchronicities" involving the books Ubik and Piranesi. He highlights a presentation by Mitch Horowitz on the Fourth Way, which emphasized the "debt" humans owe to the world for their existence. This perspective helped Carlwood reframe his recent professional burnout and find new value in the obscure teachings of Gurdjieff and Nicoll.
