- a forwardThese writings are a modern take on a practical and timeless tale of existence. In a word Tao (or “way”). It feels as though it’s appropriate with the rise of The Mandalorian to indulge the notion that there is, a way, since the phrase “this is the way” reflects on action from a principled perspective. Almost biblical in a sense, yet this really isn’t what any of this is going for. This isn’t directly about anything science fictious however. It’s about the essence of a character, of being and its relative reality, of which, it imagines it’s separate from. It’s

A dichotomy, is the nature in which experience is translated. A division and/or contrast between 2 things that are viewed as being in conflict of, or entirely different from an other. The saying “I’m not myself, right now” comes to mind. Utilizing a conceptual me to describe how i’m no longer myself is that quirky, silly-fun behavior i mentioned in a forward. And here i’m going to lay the quirky me on pretty

You’re who you are, imagined by us, that has you as a memoryWe too believe we are a center of being, unlike any otherAnd while we continue to imagine you, we ignore our reflectionYet, nothing has or will change us, before, during or after we read this. You’re making choices, every moment, that provoke reactionsYou may realize you’ve been here before, anywhere
+ Read More - Chapter 3 – a meditationIf you’ve stumbled your way here, you might have come to the idea that there is no specific order for which words pour out. You could be in place where understanding literally requires nothing on your part, you might even be reading the words thinking you had to learn the language. But this isn’t as specific as knowledge, as knowing is pretense and you’ve passed that. These writings portray understanding as the only thing at which a human being (or any thing) is always, already fully capable. If you’re still on about expectations, assuming anything is absolute, then maybe this

The knowledge of the big ID is simply an illusion, which “time isn’t real” (my current favorite Grabbitz album title). Anyway, i’m going to simplify it down as much as i can muster in one sitting. The tricks of the trade, so to speak. Below, displays the dichotomy of perception, the origin of (in this case light information), as perceived by the destination (the informed). I could go on about what it means, explain the detail, yet it speaks volumes about knowledge and
+ Read More - Chapter 5 – a truthIf you haven’t noticed, in these writings i’ve started each chapter using “a”. It’s kind of annoying and a bit boring detail, but an important one, if we want to talk about reality using language designed in a way that invokes knowledge (a dualistic expression) of what is essentially, itself. Using “a” is about as minimal a start as i could ponder. It probably sounds trite, this repeat, but what i’ve spoken to up till now and onward, is this repeat and in all it’s complexity, a truth. In Chapter 4, i presented a theory, it’s just a theory, yet

An odd pondering of; that and the other. Whether we like it or not, and no matter what we say about it, we base our entire societies around religion. In fact, most won’t trust someone that extols anything other than some certain religion, regionally. Oddly enough, you really don’t have to believe in anything, you’ll still exist. The fact that humans have gone several millennium almost completely ignoring

You can also add a benefit that working out a typical brain also burns up those caloric energy stores, it could even help you shed those few extra pounds (probably not). On with ‘a universe’, an examination that there isn’t actually something “out there”. While it’s important to note, science is at odds with stuff like gravity, spooky action at a distance (quantum entanglement) and what actually makes up the
