I just watched a video explaining how LSD works. The explanation took the materialist perspective which says our bodies love to fill in the blanks within perception, which creates meaning. But if meaning is meaningless, just a thin coat of paint bridging two established portraits, then what is the materialist reason for us having evolved […]
He talks about back in the day. Thousands of years ago, back in the day. The powers we had. The wizard wars. Balls of energy shot through the air by people with deep knowledge of an inner world we’ve locked behind prison bars of scripture. If the ancient times sound familiar, sound modern and post-modern, […]
She said she can achieve nothingness, but no change results from it and so her mind eventually wanders. By this she meant that she can be thoughtless—not an image or a word drifting into awareness.

Although usually in everyday conversation, what we mean by that word selfless is that someone did something unselfish. On the surface, there is a distinction between that definition of selfless and how we […]
The strongest lies we tell ourselves are the ones we live by. Here are five to consider. These may not all apply to you, but you’ve likely heard someone say them. Perhaps you saw through the lies; perhaps you never gave them a first, never mind second, thought. While you’re considering, if you’re an Our […]
I recently did a Rambleshare video in which I talked about how transcending and including in the physical world looks hierarchical, but is not. It’s simultaneous. Matter appears to be organizing and building interdependent beings through a hierarchical scheme, but at least one of the organisms it’s “building” is a being with enough sentience to […]
