...where the Two become the One
This article was originally written back in April of 2013, but I reproduced it here as it is still a valuable asset for performing activism in the world. Nothing gets the passionate juices flowing like being an activist for a cause, resisting evil, perceived or otherwise, by taking on Goliath in our role as David the Giant Slayer. All too often we allow ourselves to invest tremendous amounts of energy […] Read more »
Do “the needs of the many,” really outweigh “the needs of the few?” We have concluded that the development of our individuality should be at the forefront of everything we engage in, and not the development of the group, or the structures erected to protect and perpetuate the group. This may seem selfish at first, but there is an important nuance that most people miss when making this judgment. For […] Read more »
Here are my thoughts on entering into a fairminded conversation with those who participate in identity politics, and desire what is termed “social justice”. Such ideologies are rooted in envy, and seek to tear down successful people and their creations to the lowest common denominator in the name of fairness, and according to the Freudian School of Psychoanalysis, the root of all mental illness is also envy. Therefore, it can […] Read more »
Postmodernism, Deconstuctionism, Third Wave Feminism, Marxism, Cultural Marxism, Socialism, and Progressivism are all examples of far left ideologies that spring forth from the weak’s envy of the strong; they are collectivist ideologies that embody Friedrich Nietzsche’s concept of “slave morality”. Envy, which according to Dr Norberto Keppe from the Freud line of psychoanalysis, is at the heart of all mental disorders and pathologies; thus, it is not a far stretch […] Read more »
The Socratic Method is the way out of the mess we find ourselves in. Most of humanity is still in the cave, but through careful questions and admitting to intellectual humility, we can help people discover how to think, and once they know how to think, they can find the answers they need to leave the cave of ignorance.

The Unity Process adds an extra set of skills and takes debiasing to a “whole nother level”, by working through each emotional upset, which pinpoints where each of our biases are. This video has a few decent introductory techniques, and definitely explains the problem well, but to truly debias your thinking, you’re going to have to work through your emotional upsets as they arise.

It is highly useful tool that vastly improves the quality of our lives, and the lives of our clients. To learn more about our sessions, please click on the link. If all of our interactions could start including the […] Read more »
Jordan Peterson is bringing the “what” back to the West, whereas our focus and desire is to bring the “why” back to the West, and by extension to the world. You can see the difference in his practical advice given in this wel made video, as he is clearly identifying the problem, but it still lacks the deeper “why” that will make the changes lasting and self-replicating.

Why does Hollywood, the music industry, the media, government figures, etc, all use the one eye symbol in photos, especially the “666 ok” symbol over their eye? This is because they’re mocking Horus, who lost his LEFT eye to his uncle Seth (Set) in battle. “The Right Eye of Horus represents concrete factual information controlled by the left brain. It deals with words, letters, and numbers and those things which […] Read more »
Aline and I are free spirits who have taken Nietzsche’s “experimentalism” and used it to challenge our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors to an extreme degree. Much of our insights and growth has come through experimenting with new ideas, while challenging our older ideas—older ideas which stem from past traumas, societal norms, biological factors, and childhood experiences. Being able to continually challenge and work through our old beliefs while remaining flexible […] Read more »
In this video, I give a brief description of Voluntaryism and its foundational principle, the Non-Aggression Principle, and how it relates to how we give and receive. When we are young, we learn that giving is mostly coercive, either from our family, school, or society, thus we do not have a point of reference or personal understanding of what giving without some form of subtle coercion is. I then perform […] Read more »
Here is the paradox of equity: the state must treat individuals unequally in order to enforce equality of outcome. However, with equality of opportunity, each individual is granted an equal opportunity to pursue their own unequal outcomes. Historically speaking, equal opportunity results in the liberty of the individual, while equal outcomes results in tyranny, genocide, and the enslavement of the individual. Yes, the State must use force to ensure the […] Read more »
In this video we examine a chapter from Carl Jung’s Collected Works in which he investigates the achievement of personality, describing it as: “the prototype of the only meaningful life, that is, of a life that strives for the individual realization of its own law.” ~Academy of Ideas How to Support the Academy of Ideas: Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/academyofideas PayPal: https://www.paypal.me/academyofideas Carl Jung and The Shadow: https://gum.co/jung-shadow Amazon Affiliate Link: http://amzn.to/2kI9BuL Read more »
Some people think that shadow work is screaming into a pillow, or allowing full expression of their emotions, but this is a gross oversimplification of the role of emotions, and of the nature of shadow work. Our emotions are the messengers that communicate the current state of our alignment between our thoughts and our inner being (Source), and they provide us with detailed information, much like we would receive from […] Read more »
Here is a video that offers definitive proof that there was a MAJOR change, and that timelines have merged, as “Procter & Gamble” is the current timeline, but there is a lot of evidence, including government and legal documentation, that there was our initial “Proctor & Gamble” timeline as well. Mandela effect deniers want to blame “bad memory”, but this one shoots their theory in the foot. Read more »
