An Insatiable Appetite

The human ego has an insatiable appetite. It absolutely craves control. It devours every opportunity to be right. A sense of superiority is what it most desires. Its specialties are manipulation, distortion, and coercion, especially unto itself. The ego relishes every opportunity to be a hero and to be seen…

Role Play

Why do we role play? Why do we appease? Why must we be so controlled by what we feel about what others may think? Especially friends and family! It is a disease! So much so, that we actually defend belief structures that don't even belong to us for the sake…

The Enigmatic Paradox

In the enigmatic paradox of choosing to be position-less, I am left frustrated and laughing at the absurdity of my reflection in the mirror of existence. As much as I aspire to be, I can not choose to be of non-position. This is why it has been scribed by the…

The Wise Ones

Human superstitions are absurd! How ridiculously disgusting can we be with our tiny boxed, fear-based, monkey minds?

This profound experience happened around 2014. Linda's mother Josephine had been in hospice for 7 years. I knew that she was in the process of passing, as Linda had informed me. Earlier that day as I was working at my desk, I suddenly felt the urge to go visit Josephine.…

Demystification Through Etymology

Let's demystify some words through the etymology of the words themselves.

Listen

"When we hear, we either accept or reject.. or we translate what we hear according to our knowledge, our background.. or we compare what is being said to what is already known.. or we oppose one idea by another. All these characteristics of hearing deny the act of listening. When…

Intellectually AWOL

Don't thank me for my service. I didn't do anything to protect your "freedom". But, if you're interested, I'll tell you what I did do. I went to boot camp, put on a uniform, sang the songs, and fully immersed myself in an eighteen-month long education of the inner workings…

As you may or may not know, Jax and I joined in union earlier this year and Jax gave birth to baby Stellar just a few weeks ago. Many subjects of a delicate and sensitive nature have risen over the past year with the integration of families, cultures, and perceptions.…

Patriotic Perversions

Those in power have no remorse in killing a few million of its own in the name of profit and control. They are well aware that the death of a relative will inspire hate, revenge, and fuel division. We react to a war we think we are fighting for a…
