On One Worldism

You know what time of year it is — tax season. That’s right — the time of year where we have somehow been convinced that paying a toll is somehow necessary for the functioning of a civilized society. Worse, we are conned into doing the work of collecting the toll and hand delivering it! Talk …

The Drunk Librarian

I have piles of journals too arcane for anyone to read but me. This blog is intended to be a space that provides clarity to these ideas by giving them more substance and structure. In doing so, I hope to also provide a bridge for others to follow. This “teaching” has an unexpected effect of …

Upwards and onwards

So I’ve been hammering on technology a lot in the last series of posts so it is time to take a step back a bit. I’m not a luddite. I mean, I moonlight as a sorcerer & philosopher, but most of the time I am a web developer. This blog requires multiple layers of technology …

The Human Condition

The tone of this one will be a little more liberal. You have been warned. Your triggers are yours. Use your own discernment. The more March marches on, the more I feel “me” than I have ever felt before, uncensored and free. So let’s grab hold of that truth stick and get this show on …

Digital Abyss pt. 2

This is a bit of a follow-up to the last post. As of December 18th, 2022 I haven’t touched a video game. A week or two ago (and a bit of a revisit this post), I submitted the requests to delete my Steam library and Twitch accounts. Now. Am I doing these things because I …

Moments of clarity that become easier and easier to hold. We do the work, perpetuate the frequency and it unlocks the universe. When you are able to integrate the concept of “computers” into a unity perspective — that the computers are part of an expression of a singular consciousness — then we can see the …

A little bit about doubt

This life is always a balance of paradoxical states. At least it is once you are able to reliably think from non-polarized axioms (which honestly is an ongoing practice whilst living as a human.) This wisdom is reflected in many philosophies, but the one of my favorite phrases is: “in but not of.” You know …

Shedding the Weight, pt. 2

When people hear “will” they often believe it is synonymous with “willpower” and this couldn’t be farther from the truth. What is willpower? Willpower represents a state of distrust, or rejection — it is the tantrum a child throws after they cause their own problem. Willpower is the attempt to “resolve” a problem you have …

Shedding the Weight pt. 1

Adopting a paradigm that free will is absolute is not all sunshine & daises. In fact, there are some disturbing truths that I have uncovered. As with all work of this nature, integrating this truth requires recognizing the importance of other people and their total autonomy within your overall paradigm. This is implicit in the …

VR & Gaming

I am a sort of ex-gamer. That is, I used to play video games. A lot. I’ve talked bit about that before. And now I don’t. I may do some constructive gaming / content creation in the future. I didn’t stop playing video games because I hate them, or think they are evil. The real …
