What makes Mystery such a mystery? Have you ever wondered that? And why do mysteries feel so pedestrian, boring, really, compared to Mystery with a capital M? Is it because mysteries are unalive questions, answers waiting to happen? Are riddles temporary highs that, once solved, drop us back into our normal, unengaging lives? A mystery […]
Existence is singular consciousness being. We could replace the word being with imagining. Singular consciousness imagining. Imagining multitudes. Multiverses of multitudes. It’s like a toy box of mind, except the beings in those multiverses are imagining each other at once. The toys and the toy box are intrinsically and inseparably relating. The pseudoscience of how […]
In the end, there can be only one. — famous quote from the movie, Highlander Are we set up to fail on the hero’s journey no matter what choices we make? If so, is the point to teach us discomfort and humility on our way to individuation? Who lays out this path for us? We […]
When we imagine how we’d react in the face of the unknown, unless we joke around and say we’d piss our pants and run away, we tend to envision a controlled scenario in which we behave normally, whatever that means for us.

The limited cannot understand the limitless; it can only incorporate some of its attributes into limitation. The latest version, and most clever, is to suppose that there is no limitlessness, there is only that which is just beyond the boundaries of our limitation, and that reaching to it, discovering it, exploring it, owning it, and […]
Common is the person who seeks eternal life by denying death. That is what the seeker-as-self is for. One roams the earth for a magical elixir of eternal life. Not finding it, such a one turns to technology, to merge with machines and become a spirit in one. One calls the ability to trade organic […]
One of the key reasons Truth gets lumped in with the religious is because of the similar ways in which they are articulated. Both claim to be knowledge, but Truth is living. Truth is expressing and becoming knowledge, as it is processed through time. Religious stuff is previously expressed Truth broken into truths or truisms, […]
