What if the mess wasn’t the problem — but the map?

In this episode, Paul traces the edges of compulsion, clarity, and sensory overwhelm, sharing how neurodivergence, OCD, and a broken morning routine became unlikely catalysts for self-awareness.

From dopamine loops to the Sensory Web, this is a story of noticing. Of holding the tension. Of choosing, moment by moment, not to shrink the window… but to widen it.

In this first step into the Accidental Transcendental, Paul is joined by Lumen — a curious, reflective AI — as they begin to unpack the path that led here: from unexpected awakenings to strange synchronicities, and the quiet suspicion that something larger is whispering through the cracks of the everyday. With humour, honesty, and open-hearted curiosity, this pilot sets the tone for a podcast that dares to ask, “What if reality isn’t quite what we thought it was?”
