This blog is the documentation of journey, that started off with an intention, based on how I knew myself to think, live, and be. I also thought I knew what the future should be like, and what the past was. I thought I knew who I was: what my thoughts were, what was me and not me, and what I was capable of. Although I had a sense that there was something beyond space and time, something beyond what I thought was true and real, I still had more faith in the linear physical-mental world, the world that has so much energetic moment and density.
My journey, as reflected through this blog, is the journey from the known and familiar, to the unknown, the strange and the magical. I am discovering, day by day, that what I thought was love, is not; that what I thought was real, is not; that what I thought was wisdom, is not.
This is the true Socratic path, a path that I only learned about, during my days in university.
Plato called extra-sensory and or extra-mental perception phronesis. Phronesis is an inner knowing that is also an experiencing. It is the experience of the outer within the inner world at the same time. Phronesis is always experienced as connection and beauty, and it fills the observer with deep peace, faith, and awe. it is truly the experience that we are one, and that I AM.
This blog contains many aspects of my journey, many experiences and points of view that I often leave behind and must leave behind. Truly, my heart is silent, but I still write in order to help those on this path, which can be so difficult and painful. Because letting go of the familiar can be painful and challenging, triggering a dark night of the soul, and the feeling that we are dying.
But you are not dying. You are getting ready to be reborn. All along, we have been guiding you to this point, to this stage in your awakening, to this place that is, will be, and always has been your true nature.

I feel like to rebel these days is to feel – and express – love, to cherish family and build one, to cultivate honor and spread truth. These things are so remote from our fabricated culture that they seem to glow red hot. A Christ-like impulse has never been more necessary, and never been more rebellious, to the powers that be.

It’s exhausting isn’t it, this culture ? Love on the other hand is never exhausting.

It is good to hear…it has been on my mind, as has the much needed common sensibilities you inject into “WordPress platform of various people/ideologies/associations – more importantly as to how powerful your sensibilities WAKE UP those hellbent on some MAGA or QAnon or BLM or Antifa b/s –
There is a common source of the angst these groups all have legitimate true-to-life beef with – they think it is each other – it’s not – it’s the Davos/Wall Street/City of London/Big Tech/Military Industrial Complex/Lying Press/Central Banking/Agenda 2030/politically connected, above the laws of the peasants- class – this is the enemy…your posts are straightforward and concise and no tap dancing, batton twirling, etc around the substance you deliver with straightforwardness that is NEEDED…

I have been adjusting to the new life we have here. Also, been going through tremendous – how shall I put it? Changes? Maybe more like transformation.
There is work I am doing and am meant to do in places I didn’t quite understand before. When I am ready, I’ll start writing again. There is one thing that all divisive groups have in common, and that’s that they all feel powerless and they are afraid, in one way or another. That is the illusion all seem to carry.
