Consciousness Lab is a space where we deconstruct the absurdities of human behavior using the ancient, razor-sharp psychological tools of Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras. We get under the hood of the mind to figure out why we stay stuck in patterns that don't serve us, focusing on two main pillars:
-
Pattern Disrupting : We identify the mental "whirlpools"—the repetitive thoughts and habits that dictate our days—and learn how to break the cycle.
-
Myth Busting: We expose the fundamental myths and illusions—like ego, attachment, and fear—that color our reality and cause unnecessary struggle.
To make sense of these deep concepts, we look to my neighbor, Nas. Based on the legendary Sufi "wise fool" Mulla Nasruddin, Nas is our constant case study. Whether he’s throwing breadcrumbs to "keep tigers away" in the suburbs or looking for his lost keys under a streetlamp because "the light is better there," Nas represents the glorious absurdity of the human ego.
By watching Nas, we see our own mental glitches in high definition. By applying Patanjali, we learn how to fix them. If you’re ready to stop throwing crumbs at phantom tigers and start seeing life as it actually is, join us.

This source features a podcast interview with author Michael Lewandowski regarding his historical fiction manuscript, The Weight of Lead. Set in 1869, the story centers on the intertwined lives of a Chinese immigrant, an Apache woman, and a Navajo soldier as they navigate a violent American frontier. The author highlights how these characters resist systemic exploitation, including human trafficking and the environmental poisons of unregulated mining. By focusing on marginalized perspectives, the narrative challenges traditional Western tropes and examines the moral weight of historical atrocities like the Long Walk of the Diné. Ultimately, the text explores how shared dignity and individual integrity serve as powerful acts of defiance against institutional cruelty.
