The Dreamtailor. AI-Generated.
In the quietest hour of the night, when the moon was high and the world was asleep, an old man named Elias went to work. He was a Dreamtailor, the last of his kind, and his workshop was a place that existed just on the other side of consciousness.

Digital Integrity
The Storm Of The Modern World The digital world is both a miracle and a battlefield. It connects people across continents, gives voice to the voiceless, and allows truth to travel farther than any single messenger could reach in a lifetime. Yet it also magnifies pride, anger, and cruelty. What once required courage to say face to face now pours out through keyboards without restraint.

The War of the Currents and the Man Who Lit the World. AI-Generated.
For most of human history, the night was a dominion of shadows. Fire—from a candle's weak flicker to a gas lamp's smoky glow—was the only defiance against the dark. It was dim, dangerous, and fleeting. Taming the night required not just a new kind of light, but a new kind of power.

Practical Magick: Applied metAlchemy
“If we understood the power of our thoughts, we would guard them more closely. If we understood the awesome power of our words, we would prefer silence to almost anything negative. In our thoughts and words, we create our own weaknesses and our own strengths. Our limitations and joys begin in our hearts. We can always replace negative with positive.” -Betty Eadie

Necessary Truth
The Foundation Of All Thinking Every human act of reason begins with an assumption. The assumption is that logic exists. When we say something is true or false, when we draw conclusions or recognize contradictions, we rely on fixed laws of thought that we did not invent. These laws are universal, consistent, and independent of personal opinion.

When Logic Becomes A Weapon
The Rise Of Performative Reason We live in an age where people worship logic but rarely use it with integrity. Reason has become a stage performance rather than a search for truth. Arguments that once served to clarify reality now serve to elevate ego. Debate has become entertainment. Outrage has replaced understanding.

Concentric Circles in Space
My mind travels in concentric loops. It moves in circles around a point, like the planets revolve around the sun, or like water around a toilet bowl. (Dr. Patty Lovarco just screamed at me that planetary orbits are ellipses and not circles.)

Artificial Intelligence and the Reflection of Humanity. AI-Generated.
In the age of rapid technological advancement,AI has emerged not just as a tool for efficiency but as a mirror reflecting the deepest aspects of human nature. From decision-making to creativity, AI systems are increasingly resembling humans in ways that challenge our understanding of what it means to be human. This raises profound questions about consciousness, empathy, and the future of humanity in an era where machines can mimic—or even surpass—human capabilities.

Good Faith in a Bad-Faith World
The Collapse Of Civil Discourse Everywhere you look, conversation is breaking down. Words that once served as bridges are now weapons. People no longer speak to understand; they speak to win. To admit uncertainty is to invite ridicule. To ask a question is to be branded as weak or ignorant.

The X and the Treasure
There is a story that exists in almost every culture on earth. It is the story of a map, a mark, and a treasure buried beneath the ground. The map is dismissed as myth, the mark is ignored or defaced, and the treasure waits in silence for the one person patient enough to dig. I have come to see truth the same way.

The Restoration of Order
Civilization rises or falls upon one foundation: the moral order that governs the human heart. When truth is exalted, families thrive, justice endures, and love becomes the highest expression of unity under God. When truth is abandoned, chaos fills the vacuum. The world does not collapse from external enemies first. It collapses from within, when its people forget the sacred laws that make harmony possible.
