Universal Struggle. Universal Woman.
A story of two sisters, one dark, one light. One is destined to become the beloved and revered Oracle. The other is forced to sacrifice her life in service of the dead. But what happens when one sister refuses to accept her fate? What happens when, after choosing love over destiny she finds herself betrayed and alone?

Eden (Pt. 1)
The crisp smell of bacon and fresh eggs hit his nose, reminding him that yet another day had come upon him. Feeling well rested, he pulled off his sheets, feeling the heat of the morning sun coming through the window hit his chest, his hair frazzled from the night’s rest. Stumbling down the steps, he hears his mother call in her usual chipper morning voice.

Little Black Book
It was time for me to go, not just go away for a little while but forever. I could hear the voices telling me that everything about my family was wrong and everything I am is going to change the world. Where would I even go? I felt hopeless that my family will never accept me as the chosen one, so I believed I was because the command hallucinations pretended they were Godlike and informed me that I was to become someone else. I kept a journal in a small black book to understand the delusions that were going on in my head that I could not control. I told my mom I was the chosen one and had to fight Satan. She looked at me with confusion and horror in her eyes. As my dad woke up from his sleep, he asked what I meant. I repeated myself, “I’m the chosen one and had to fight Satan from you guys” He looked at me the same way my mom did. Then, I knew they wouldn’t understand.

To my dearest existential orphans,
Don’t ask me how I know this information, I may get to that someday but it’s decades of information and the overlap of having experiences, seeing other’s experience, spiritual teachings, developmental psychology, behavioral research, the study of human connection, and the way it all converges and intersects to generate existential information that no single source has pinpointed on its own without falling into the trap of ideology and collapsing what we nearly discovered.

Be A Lamp Unto Yourself
I’m not a Buddhist but I do love studying Eastern thought and particularly Buddhism. For me, as a philosophy it seems to have a profound understanding of human psychology. The methods of recognising how our own conscious mind works and harnessing it to manifest more loving and serene mind states to me seems to be of crucial importance at this juncture in human history.
