Is it intuition or a trauma response? Former US intelligence analyst Erin Gunzelman has spent six years testing that question on herself — trusting her body 100% of the time and treating reality as a mirror — and shares what happened when she stopped ignoring the signs.
Erin grew up on Maryland's Eastern Shore, built pattern-recognition software in the intelligence community, and walked away when chronic pain — what Western medicine calls endometriosis — forced her to listen to her body. A yoga teacher training in 2018 opened the door; a divorce and the shutdowns of 2020 emptied everything else out. With nothing left to lose, she packed her car and began the experiment she now shares as the Mirror Method: following the winks, recording hundreds of dreams ("what if Carl Jung had AI?"), and learning blindfold vision — perceiving color without using her eyes. Michael tried it himself a few hours before this recording, and he's still integrating.
Together they unpack the nervous system as a portal rather than a problem to fix, why sitting in muddy water beats stirring it, ego death and the capital-T truth question, the terror of real freedom, plant medicine and outsourcing your power, and how letting go of control opens possibilities you can't yet see.
