- The Necessity of Consciousness a.k.a. GodIn the beginning, the earth was without form and void. Who, or what, beheld such a state? In order for anything to be known to exist, there needs be an observer. A universe without conscious beings is never known to exist, never experienced.Consc...
- Imagine the Possibility: A Human EssayWhat if our stories of gods, goddesses, saviors, angels, devils, souls, little men and green men, are not just stories of things our ancestors couldn't explain... what if they were accounts of events that, once upon a time, happened to mankind?Re...
- Immortality is UndeniableSuppose I suggested that you, I, and everything that exists is, in fact, immortal. Ah, but I presume you think physically immortal, right? Well, maybe we are eternal, physically and otherwise. Likely, we'll never know, but let's apply t...

- Contact Beyond the Veil - Thoughts on Strange MindsThe modern age, most of us, accept the existence (or possibility thereof) of alien life, ghosts, demons, and any number of supernatural, paranormal, divine, or strangeness in general. Are we just superstitious monkeys or what?With any such phenomen...
- Jerusalem, the city worth nothing and everything.The Holy City of Jerusalem, sacred to Abrahamic faith, is a flashpoint for international conflict. One city capable of drawing the world into a devastating war. This is not hyperbole, people. History repeats itself, and its center has often been Jeru...
- "Wake", a story of blood and griefIron and salt mingled and washed over his palette, tempting the gag reflex. Inky black swam across his eyes, denying revelation to the burden that pinned him against the earth.The scent of burning timber and charred meat seemed to cling to his body,...
- Small is Big is Small: The Fractal Nature of RealityEverything we find in nature is a fractal, fitting into bigger and bigger replicas of itself, endless patterns, projected all around us like a hologram. The mandala is a classic example of a fractal conceptualization of reality.There is mimicry fro...
- Nature Always Wins - the Growing Threat of CataclysmsThere's not a snowball's chance in magma that we'll escape global cataclysm. Most of us don't bother thinking about it, but the fact remains: we are experiencing a surge in potential extinction-level events all over the world.Don...
- Which Mask Did You Put on Today?We're all fake, at least some of the time.For some of us, we become what others want us to become and we have no idea we're doing it. Like a chameleon, we camouflage our personality to avoid attracting the type of attention that would kill us...
- A Tale from the Underground Railroad“Sweet Jesus, is it hot!” Jacob muttered, fumbling through mosquito-laden fog with a fading lantern swinging from an extended arm. Another masked light bobbed lazily twenty feet behind him. “Eli, close that shutter a bit,” Jacob hissed. Bet...
- What's Your Social Template? Everyone's Doing It!It seems to me that human reactions are largely programmed.Behavior in certain situations demonstrates social engineering, or maybe it's just an artifact of our species.When someone dies, friends and family mourn, remember, laugh, cry, wear black...
- Degrade and Destroy? That's Not War! I'll Show You War!President Obama promised to "degrade and ultimately destroy" the Islamic State (IS). What does that mean, exactly? It wasn't much of a strategy, lacking in any substantive material and wholly deprived of any teeth. This is not war a...
- New World Order Games: 13 years since 9/11Tomorrow marks the 13th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks and it's a prime opportunity for the shadowy powers of the world to rub it in our faces. No, I'm not predicting anything specific, but I am sounding a general alarm for several reasons.
- Are We Born Prisoners?Life is a prison. I'm not talking about the fact of being alive--a creature that moves, consumes, and reproduces--but rather about the life as a human being in the social construct of human beings.Our values, beliefs, traditions, and so on all im...
- It's All a Bunch of Nonsense, I tell you!It's just all nonsense sometimes.What is life? What's the point, really? We're born, raised, grow up, and then repeat the process (or continue it) by having offspring. We accumulate material goods by indentured servitude (i.e. work) a...

- Breaking the Spell - Why Thoughts and Dreams are the RealThis is not real; there is no truth found in life. We gaze at pictures, speaking as if the still images were alive and the people trapped within a paper prison; we see a reflection in a mirror, window, or water and can't help but notice ourselv...
- Free Will is Absurd - What You Don't ChooseLet's start from the beginning. I'm working with what is apparent based on experience--our perception of reality, existence, as it appears to us in life.None of us requested to be born; we certainly didn't get a say in who our parents wou...
