The Mythic Thread That Connects Us All (Yes, Even Through Web Comments)
Read the full article, but be warned! This article is not merely something to read. It is a psycho-cybernetic ritual that pretends to be a collection of words behaving themselves on a page.

Understanding Reality: Expand Your World Through Non-Local Connections and Probabilistic Logic
The conventional view of the mechanical universe, governed by deterministic laws, is fundamentally flawed. These mechanical laws do not operate as they appear to based on physical perceptions.

Gurdjieff And The Moon: Self-Remembering, Infinity, and the Hidden War for Human Freedom

Beyond the Illusion: Rethinking Time, Memory, and Existence
From a personal perspective, for the average person, the world at large, the world “out there”, seems to be a very stable place. We wake up each morning to familiar surroundings: the walls of our homes, the streets we walk, the faces we know. The world appears solid, unwavering, and reliable. Indeed, for most of

The Mad Logician Revisited: Impeccability, Honesty, and Our Role in Others’ Lives
In my last article, I introduced a particular philosophical perspective that I referred to as the mad logician. This perspective is far more than just a way of thinking; at its deepest level, it is a technique. It is a practice that not only fosters the blossoming of perception and awareness, but also serves as a

Questioning Certainty: Exploring Mystery Through the Way of The Mad Logician
After watching a handful of debate shows and listening to various podcasts where people passionately argue their positions on controversial issues, I found myself wondering what it would be like to join one of these discussions myself. The idea was tempting at first. The thought of sitting across from a well-known host, or perhaps a
