Sexual Self-Transcendence

Feeling Inner Peace While the World Burns

It doesn’t conflict with the movement for justice and equality — I’ve seen a spate of articles lately on how meditation, mindfulness and self-help are supposedly toxic and anti-progressive.

Joy in the Shadow of Climate Doom

The freedom in facing the inevitability of our personal apocalypse — Climate despair is mounting.

The Simple Contains the Complex

Why we should flip our mental model of dimensions — In high school mathematics, I was taught that the zero dimension was infinitesimally small. A point. Smaller than the tiniest dot I could make with my pen. The first dimension was a line, thinner than the width of a hair, connecting two of these vanishing points. …

Mass Shootings ARE a Mental Health Problem

there is no void

insights from a mystical experience — There is no void The cold embrace of otherness is right with us Nestled against us The energy that moves in me Dissolving into new forms, new fractal eddies We become more isolated The further we march into entropy As time tips itself towards the asymptote Of total dualism Of…

Idealism’s Resurrection

Love transcends control in the Matrix’s latest reincarnation — This article contains spoilers for the film The Matrix Resurrections. The Matrix Resurrections is the best film of 2021.
