I’ve spent a few hours today translating Plato’s “allegory of the cave”. For about a year, I have working on and off on a full translation of Plato’s Phaedo, however […]

I posted “this” article last night. I was attempting to articulate fear. It was a rough article to write, I will be honest. It was very much like rummaging through the darkness, and with very little light. It makes sense, that darkness I experienced, because fear is what keeps things in the dark. So, when trying to look at it, […]
The word art in Ancient Greek is poesis, from which we get our word poetry. It means “creation”. In our current programming, we have been taught that art is useless, and that it is simply an expression of personal perspective, but nothing more. This is a lie that has been propagated to make you willingly let your guard down when […]
The idea that a higher power speaks through us is a common one. The reason it is common is simple: it is true. That is why most people will understand us when we say something like “God speaks through me” or “my Soul shows me the way”, or other such things, especially when it comes to inspired and artistic expressions.

All of us are going to eventually discover that who we are has never changed – and that all we have suffered is simply a mistaken identity. The appearance of change, the appearance of a timeline, a sense of you becoming different, is no more than a moving of […]

Regardless, the idea of language as a spectrum is very foreign to the way we use language today, in the 21st century. We mostly think of language as something we use in […]
ego (n.) by 1707, in metaphysics, “the self; that which feels, acts, or thinks,” from Latin ego “I” (cognate with Old English ic; see I); its use is implied in egoity. They that have pleaded against Propriety, and would have all things common in this World, have forgotten that there is a Propriety, in our present Egoity, and Natural Constitution, which rendereth some accidental Propriety necessary to us (etc.) [“The Practical Works of […]
The entire basis and structure of the Roman Empire was contract law. The Romans could not understand anything, not spirituality, not creativity, without laws. Sometimes, historians will refer to Roman religion as a “practical religion”, but that is only if you consider conquering other nations and cultures, war, and bloodshed as “practical”. As the Roman Empire expanded, she would convert […]
Awakening is supposed to be a time of awareness, hope, and light. Yes, it is. But it is also something else. It is loss, it is death, and it waving […]
