Journal

Here you’ll find my philosophical meanderings in the form of articles, essays, and occasional poetry. My interests and curiosities are broad, but the central focus remains the pursuit of what is authentic, real, and true.

Lux et veritas


The Committee of One: The Internal Obstruction

The Committee of One: The Internal Obstruction

Most of the obstacles in my life weren’t external. They were procedural. Internal. A one-person committee skilled at delay, deflection, and convincing arguments for doing nothing. This is a note from inside that room, and a reminder that the only way out is movement.

Uniformity Conformity

Uniformity Conformity

It behooves us to become aware of the many compromises we are making in our day-to-day living. It is harmful and spiritually depressing to carry on as if everything is alright, relying on coping and adapting to get us through. The world around you is doing it’s best to push you toward uniformity and conformity, and that’s why you’ll feel unhinged, edgy, frustrated, confused, alone, and directionless. That’s the point, so you will forever choose to defer to their authority, their priorities, and their values rather than sitting quietly a few times a day and discerning your own. It’s tyrannical, if not clever. Just pause more often and have a good look at what you’re being, doing, thinking, accepting, integrating, and acting out.

Revolutions: Freedom of Speech

Revolutions: Freedom of Speech

It’s August 2024. This is a watershed moment in Canadian history, and for Western nations in general. For example, consider Bill C-63. It is introduced, in part, under the guise of an amorphous, ambiguous concept such as “online harm,” but, in practice, it will result in increased censorship, social unrest, and further instills and legitimizes communist sociopolitics in the future. When a law is intentionally left unclear, ill-defined, and open to interpretation based on the politics of those involved, it’s a dangerous, slippery slope that will put the “Digital Safety Office,” their enforcers in the police services, and the unwitting judiciary in hot water.

A society will eventually destabilize and collapse as a result of this overly simplistic and yet predictable agenda in which anyone can be fined, arrested, tried, or imprisoned for simply speaking up and sharing their opinion, whether online or not. Heaven forbid you ever criticize or insult our era’s foolish, narcissistic, corrupt, captured, and cowardly politicians.

Culture Complex

Culture Complex

I am grateful to have been born a few decades before the woke, race, gender, DEI, and medical-industrial psychological operations, among others, were in full swing. I’m grateful, too, to have always had a different way of looking at life in general — not that it has made the journey any easier. Quite the opposite, in fact. The hearts and minds of the young today are under constant assault from all directions, and as tech devices of perpetual surveillance and screens of all sizes are ubiquitous and omnipresent, it requires a truly awake and aware, consciously deliberate choice to limit your exposure to the persistent mind control, indoctrination, and propaganda inundating everyone, all the time, everywhere, all at once.

The Infinite Dance of Good and Evil

The Infinite Dance of Good and Evil

Throughout the ages, humankind has existed in this realm amid a persistent conflict or contrasting of energies, a master wave comprised of myriad pulsing frequencies of smaller waves. This simulated reality construct maintains an oscillation of lived physical experience somewhere on the scale between good and evil. Regardless of the civilization, era, or epoch, it appears an uneasy homeostasis is perpetuated, whether by conscious and obvious or unconscious and subtle means. Whatever the circumstance, whatever the reason, the evidence is clear that neither good nor evil ever dominates entirely, but neither do they secede.

Manufactured Consent

Manufactured Consent

You gave them permission, were unaware of what you were doing, and had no idea why you did it in the first place. Welcome to the modern era of deception.
