How it works
A meditation you take part in
Take part
Send a reflection
Pick a chapter, answer one of its questions, and send it. You don't need to own the book to take part; the Chapter 1 sample is enough to start.
This book is a personal, spiritual practice, not medical or mental-health advice. If a memory or practice makes you feel unsafe or unable to function, stop, ground yourself, and reach out to someone you trust or a qualified professional.
Inside the book
The Seven Doors, illustrated
Every chakra in the book gets its own full-page painting and a practice you can try tonight. A personal, symbolic map, not medical advice.
New · The comic book
Piss Dreams: The Seven Doors
The complete 7-issue run · 79 pages · 7 art styles
The book, reimagined as a comic. (Big-a) and (little-A) are the same person, thirty years apart. Behind every door waits a fear with a body and a name, and the only way through is together. When every version of them lines up, déjà vu becomes a power: the Ajna7 transformation opens (little-A)'s third eye, and living star armor pours out of it.
- Seven doors, seven art styles. Art Nouveau, Moebius-style sci-fi, retro anime horror, pop art, ukiyo-e, watercolor, and Afrofuturist.
- Seven fears to fight. The Drowse, The Anxious Vacuum, The Freeze, The Crosswire, The Forecaster, The Rush, and The Hollow.
- Half fight, half heart-to-heart. Every issue pairs big action with the real-life lesson behind it.
- The twist. Who the Nightmare Man really was, and why he came back.
