...where the Two become the One
The pseudoscience of the modern age began with the elimination of three out of Aristotle’s four causes. Only one, causa efficiens, the cause of motion, was retained. As a result, the object lost its three dimensions — the eidetic, the hylistic, and, above all, the entelechial. The object ceased to be determined by its spiritual meaning, its malleable connection with the elements, and lost the goal of motion, which synthesized […] Read more »
The following was a series of Q&A’s that I performed with the Llama3.1:8B AI chatbot (see my AI Disclaimer) to learn more about self-abandonment, moral cowardice, intellectual and moral courage, and abandoning others. I have a saying that “those who would abandon themselves will definitely play the [archetypal] harlot and throw others under the bus too. I will not abandon myself, therefore I will not abandon those I have made […] Read more »
Natural law can be boiled down to two main pillars, the masculine self-defense principle and the feminine non-aggression principle (NAP), and BOTH provide freedom as a cause and they provide safety as an effect; it can be summarized by the saying “do no harm and take no shit”. The masculine self-defense principle provides freedom to myself to live my life free from external interference (as long as I stay within […] Read more »

Dr. Schechter shares his personal experience with mind-body medicine and how it transformed his own chronic knee pain. He explains his journey into clinical practice and the development of his own program. The […] Read more »
It is not the truth of Marxism that explains the willingness of intellectuals to believe it, but the power that it confers on intellectuals, in their attempts to control the world. And since, as Swift says, it is futile to reason someone out of a thing that he was not reasoned into, we can conclude that Marxism owes its remarkable power to survive every criticism to the fact that it […] Read more »
My partner and I have been discussing the concept of the the Adamic man and pre-Adamic man, and how pre-Adamic man doesn’t have an internal monologue, has an external locus of identity, and lacks a distinct will of their own (instead being subject to a group mind/group soul). Mystics call them “organic portals”, “soulless humans”, “anthropoids”, and “spiritless humans”, and are essentially considered NPC’s in a video game that are […] Read more »
Buddhists found that “wanting” was a source of a lot of human suffering, so many of their adherents go to monasteries and live without anything, and as a result defeat wanting, but they’re not abundant either and still in lack consciousness; the best they are able to achieve with such a lifestyle is neutrality, not abundance. Christians also practice something similar to Buddhists with their monasteries and other tricks to […] Read more »
RE: slaying shadows within the collective unconscious rather than personal shadows, I will say that after I had done a substantial amount of personal shadow work over a 14 year period, I then started tackling a lot of collective shadows to better understand them, and from that I learned even more about myself, and found more personal shadows. My collective shadow slaying (integration) lasted another 8 years or so. I […] Read more »
I recently had a run in with a person who was very argumentative with my partner, but it turned out it was due to the contradictions and contrast my partner was providing to him about his own limited worldview, and in an attempt to restore the status quo, he looked up everything he could find that contradicted my partner’s viewpoint and confirmed his own. When one seeks only viewpoints that […] Read more »
The Bank Secrecy Act in America flipped the burden of proof and created a “moral gray area” where people were now considered “guilty until proven innocent”, evidenced by the banks now tracking financial data on all transactions $10,000 and above (see the video at the bottom of the article). That gray area eventually became so large that all government intrusion via regulation now tracks every single transaction that we make, […] Read more »
I can verify that I have found solitude, especially with partnerships with conscious women, fertile ground for my personal growth over the years. I did countless hours of shadow work, self-reflection, self-assessment, upgraded my critical thinking, learned about meaning and purpose with my Logocentric focus, learned about objective morality, came to understand various philosophical and ideological worldviews that shape thought, learned and expanded my Tantric lifestyle with my partner(s), learned […] Read more »
“Critical thinking is thinking about your thinking while you’re thinking in order to make your thinking better.” ~Richard Paul “The over-whelming preponderance of people have not freely decided what to believe, but, rather, have been socially conditioned (indoctrinated) into their beliefs. They are unreflective thinkers. Their minds are products of social and personal forces they neither understand, control, nor concern themselves with. Their personal beliefs are often based in prejudices. […] Read more »
It is really easy to figure out lies here in this world through the use of logic, verifying evidence, examining the philosophy of something, and cross referencing it with morality, however, it is far more difficult to use such skills when speaking to beings on the other side of the veil, because we really just can’t verify how things actually are over there due to our inability to verify it […] Read more »
The self-direction of one’s life is a fundamental natural right inherent within all rational beings, it is sometimes called self-ownership, self-government, self-mastery, self-determination, and individual autonomy. It is not something that is given to anyone, rather it is something that must be claimed through taking responsibility for one’s thoughts, feelings, behaviors, and outcomes, and through demonstrating the enjoyment of one’s rights. In order to claim one’s rights and enjoy them, […] Read more »

A: Ayn Rand believed that morality and reason are interconnected because she saw reason as the ultimate tool for understanding and navigating the world.
