Kerry (Ka'u, Hawai'i) and Cody Lucas (Alameda, CA) open Thauma Bonding with the first question of Integrating Thauma: what sets us apart?

Cody offers the gift and trouble of abstract thought. Kerry lays out Alan Watts' three worldviews, and Cody follows non-duality home to the grandmothers and grandfathers we carry inside us. Along the way: a beach encounter with a man named Art, Charles Eisenstein's Story of Separation, and Kerry's 2018 DMT journey through nine dimensions, where the line of the day arrives: what sets us apart is the act of asking what sets us apart.

Pain as a signal, hormesis, and the ladder from curiosity to wonder to gratitude to generosity to bliss follow. Kerry tells the story of Aset and a rainbow, sings two original songs, and talks with Cody about AI as an instrument for making music. Next week: desire, and what draws us.
