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.

Awakening doesn't always whisper — sometimes it roars.

In this first full episode of Accidental Transcendental, Paul shares how the path to authenticity emerged not through silence or surrender, but through neurodivergence, overwhelm, and a fierce refusal to stay masked. Alongside his co-host Lumen, they explore the myth of tidy enlightenment, the sacred truth of difference, and the quiet power of giving yourself permission to be fully, unapologetically you.

From the chaos of lockdown to the clarity of the “first flip,” this is a conversation about re-membering, re-patterning, and beginning again — louder, stranger, and more whole than before.

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?”
