  • 029 Jackie Padich and the Ephemeral Nature of Art & Ceramics
    Jul 25 2025

    Welcome back to Faucets Of Reality. After somewhat of a hiatus I’m back with a fresh episode and let me tell you this one was incredible. Help me welcome Jackie Padich (@jackielope.land on instagram), pottery teacher and psychonaut extraordinaire, for truly the best conversation I’ve had in many months. Please enjoy and leave feedback. Thanks for being here!Note from Jackie:Some amendments to technical information about clay! (I’m a little rusty 🙃)

    •The umbrella term for what all types of clay are decomposed from is a Mother Quartz although feldspars are under this umbrella.

    •The rock that it is weathered from is not necessarily from a mountain top and as the clay travels from its original source it can pick up iron and many other types of natural materials.

    •It is called crystobolite inversion not conversion and depending on the temperature reached it can also be a quartz inversion.

    P.S. The mug (one of my everyday go-tos) is made by Jason Hartsoe on instagram as @hartsoepottery! Highly recommend 🫡

    P.P.S. I want to give a shout out to my teacher Miranda Thomas (aka Wink) she can be found on instagram as @mirandathomaspottery

  • 027 Exploring Prima Vita: A Journey Through Existence
    Feb 19 2025
    Download Prima VitaWelcome back to Faucets of Reality. I know you’re probably getting tired of hearing my voice, so this time, I’m giving you a break. Today, I’m letting two AI hosts take over as they dive deep into my very first book, Prima Vita.I wrote this over a decade ago, and honestly, it’s barely seen the light of day until now. If you’re curious, you can download it for free—just for my subscribers. The link is in the description.Alright, enough about me. Let’s see what these AI minds have to say.A Guide to an Exemplary, Wholesome ExistenceWelcome to this deep dive into Prima Vita. This book is a real head-scratcher, in the best way possible. It presents itself as a guide to an “exemplary, wholesome existence”—a phrase that sounds promising, if a little abstract. But as we dig deeper, the book starts throwing around some complex concepts: reverse entropy, systematic sustenance of universal energy, and more. Intriguing? Absolutely. Intimidating? Maybe a little.What makes Prima Vita fascinating is its structured approach to mapping out a path to this ideal existence. The journey unfolds in three distinct phases:* Internal Psychological – Understanding the foundation of our being.* Material Physical – Transforming ideas into tangible reality.* External Psychic – Integrating our creations into the larger universe.But before we even begin this journey, there’s a fundamental concept we need to grasp: Eternal Zero.Eternal Zero: The Beginning and the EndImagine a blank canvas before a masterpiece. That’s Eternal Zero—the origin and the conclusion, the potential energy from which everything emerges and where everything ultimately returns. The book uses the ancient Ouroboros symbol—a snake eating its own tail—to illustrate this idea of perpetual renewal.It’s a cycle that mirrors nature itself: things die, decompose, and become the building blocks for new life. But how does this apply to us as individuals?The book draws a parallel between Eternal Zero and the human mind. Every day, we generate countless thoughts, yet only a few take root and manifest into reality. It’s the difference between a black hole that consumes everything and a star that radiates light and energy. Our challenge is to cultivate the thoughts—the “star ideas”—that truly matter.And that brings us to Part 1: Internal Psychological.Part 1: The Internal Psychological JourneyBefore we can shape the external world, we must first understand ourselves. This section of Prima Vita is about uncovering our original idea—the unique spark of purpose that drives us.Chapter 1: Existence – Finding StillnessThe first step? Solitude. The book encourages us to disconnect from distractions, strip away external influences, and sit with ourselves. Only in that stillness can we begin to understand who we are at our core, before the world imposes its expectations upon us.Have you ever stepped away from the chaos of daily life and suddenly gained clarity? That’s the essence of this chapter: stepping back to reconnect with what truly matters.Chapter 2: Learning – Filtering the NoiseOnce we’ve established our foundation, we’re faced with the next challenge—knowledge. As we engage with the world, we’re bombarded with dualities: good and bad, right and wrong. Our original idea is suddenly caught in an overwhelming flood of information.This chapter stresses the importance of filtering. It’s not about shutting ourselves off from new perspectives but about asking: Does this knowledge bring me closer to my purpose, or is it just a distraction? Our ability to navigate this stage determines whether we stay true to our path or lose ourselves in the noise.Chapter 3: Teaching – Structuring KnowledgeHere, knowledge transitions from raw material into something structured and purposeful. It’s like an architect designing a blueprint—taking abstract ideas and shaping them into a tangible plan.At this stage, time becomes a factor. Dreams start evolving into reality, complete with deadlines and concrete steps. The journey is no longer just conceptual; it’s beginning to take form. And that leads us into Part 2: Material Physical.Part 2: The Material Physical JourneyIf Part 1 was about understanding, Part 2 is about building. This is where our original idea transforms into something real.Chapter 4: Elements – Gathering the ToolsJust like a house needs bricks and mortar, our vision requires resources—both physical and mental. This chapter emphasizes discipline, resilience, and even a sense of humor, because bringing an idea to life is no easy task.Chapter 5: Independence – Bringing the Vision to LifeAt this stage, our creation takes shape. The structure is built, the vision is realized, and we stand back in awe. But there’s a trap here: getting so caught up in how we’re building that we forget why we started in the first place.The book warns against sentient automation—a state where we become so ...

  • 026 Why Do Art According To The Signs of The Zodiac
    Feb 12 2025

    Hey everyone!

    Thanks so much for being here.

    After deep introspection, I have shifted my direction slightly (once again).

    In high school, I was the kid wearing all black in the back of the classroom praying he won’t be called on. For a long time I was quietly apathetic, until I started writing songs.

    Around the time my dad stopped living with us, he also gifted me my first guitar and a deep existential love for music. It’s was the gift of expression — and now I wish to pass it on to you.

    I am returning to my deepest calling, which is to express and help express and really do more art. That’s the whole message of what I am here to say: DO MORE ART!!!

    You can always do more, and whatever is preventing you is more than likely exactly what needs to be looked at. “What we resist, persists,” (Carl Jung) and so whatever is stopping you from expressing yourself is EXACTLY what needs to be expressed.

    I am opening a service and a space to help you find exactly what that block is and release it through empathy.

    The goal is to open a direct stream of expression from your innermost self, as I have painstakingly learned to do for myself.

    And although each is on his or her own journey, we truly open ourselves up in a place of mutual support, respect, and a shared vision.

    I wish I had that when I was younger. So now I can be that for you! Reach out.

    Aside from all the technicalities of the hyper-technological world we now live in, it is easier to create now more than ever, to see and be seen, to be you.

    We got this. Step by step. See you there!

    Faithfully,

    Dmitry, Artist, Creative Mentor
