625. From Ancient Myths to AI Gods: How Stories Shape Our Reality w/ Ben Stewart

In this episode, I sit down with filmmaker and musician Ben Joseph Stewart, a true pioneer in the conscious art space, to explore how story, symbolism, and film shape the way we see the world. We dive into the power of story as the oldest human technology (older than science, older than data) and why myth, metaphor, and narrative influence our consciousness more than raw facts ever could.Our conversation spans everything from the chaos and beauty of cymatics, to the pitfalls of conspiracy culture, to what it means to live in alignment with humility and boldness. Ben offers a refreshingly grounded take on accountability, explaining how real transformation begins not by blaming “the system” but by embodying our own power, values, and love in everyday life.If you’ve ever wondered how films, myths, and archetypes can rewire your reality—and why story is the invisible architecture of culture—this episode is one you won’t want to miss.
