...where the Two become the One
Agape love, in traditional Greek usage, refers to a form of love that prioritizes the well-being of others without expecting anything in return, often associated with divine or universal compassion, and is distinctly non-transactional as it seeks no reciprocation or zoomed in personal benefit, deferring instead to a zoomed out “bigger picture” personal benefit. In the New Testament, agape is elevated as the highest form of love, exemplified by God’s […] Read more »
Cymatics is the study of how sound vibrations create visible geometric patterns in physical mediums like sand, water, or powder, revealing the impact of specific frequencies. These patterns demonstrate the organizing power of vibrational energy, showing how vibration can shape matter into intricate, orderly forms. Spontaneous order refers to the natural emergence of organized patterns, structures, or behaviors in complex systems without centralized planning or control, driven by the interactions […] Read more »
Individualism and Independence Independence is the recognition of the fact that yours is the responsibility of judgment and nothing can help you escape it—that no substitute can do your thinking—that the vilest form of self-abasement and self-destruction is the subordination of your mind to the mind of another, the acceptance of an authority over your brain, the acceptance of his assertions as facts, his say-so as truth, his edicts as […] Read more »
The mind is an attribute of the individual. There is no such thing as a collective brain. There is no such thing as a collective thought. An agreement reached by a group of men is only a compromise or an average drawn upon many individual thoughts. It is a secondary consequence. The primary act—the process of reason—must be performed by each man alone. We can divide a meal among many […] Read more »
The Roots of Pain and the Power of Reflection Emotional pain often feels like an assault on our very being, a visceral signal that something is wrong with us or the world around us. But what if this pain arises not just from the event itself, but from how we identify with it? Consider the possibility that people—whether children, narcissists, or anyone in a prerational state—see their pain as a […] Read more »
Isaiah 1:18 presents a divine invitation with profound implications: “Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool” (KJV). This suggests that reasoning—whether to purify one’s Self, resolve conflict, or negotiate preferences—holds a redemptive quality, capable of transforming sins and mistakes. The process implies a […] Read more »
Question: It seems that there is a dynamic where false accusations generate some sense of imagined or real power over others, where they are acting as the judge, lawyer, and sentencing authority all in one. For example, to accuse a friend or relative of wrongdoing without evidence and then punishing them for it by blocking all further contact, or by turning friends and/or family against them with dramatic certainty, but […] Read more »
Q: In five paragraphs, where does the concept of “grokking” come from, and how is it related and relevant to the concept of the Divine Logos and divine logic, divine empathy, divine reason, and divine understanding? For example the “for God so loved the world” verse highlights God’s empathy by participating in human life as a man to experience life with us, and to redeem us. A: The concept of […] Read more »
Society often conflates a legal system with a justice system, yet they diverge in purpose and spirit. A legal system enforces rules shaped by authority, often favoring compliance over fairness, while a justice system seeks truth and its principles to ensure right triumphs. We need a justice system because humanity demands more than rote order—it craves a process that probes the essence of our actions. Truth, not law, should mediate […] Read more »
“Where there is no vision, the people perish.” ~Provers 29:18a In my disclaimer on AI, I mentioned how AI would not write my articles for me, however, I am re-posting a creative dialogue I had with Elon Musk’s newly released Grok 3 that I had today, where it helped me to formulate my vision for reclaiming American culture and society from the grips of destructive leftist ideologies, such as liberalism […] Read more »

“In getting rid of religion, we have unleashed an age of unreason, and what follows from that is the erosion of freedom—the freedom to think, the freedom to speak, the freedom to act, and the complete confusion about where the limit should be drawn between what I want and what others need.” ~Melanie Phillips THE UNITY PROCESS: I’ve created an integrative methodology called the Unity Process, which combines the philosophy of […] Read more »
The ideology of veganism (distinct from a vegan diet) is a subjective ideology built on the flawed premise that animals have natural rights, and that their natural rights make it immoral for humans to benefit from them in any way. The ideology of veganism states that an animal’s rights stem from their ability to feel pain, however, at least according to the philosophy of natural law, rights are derived from […] Read more »
Have you ever been caught off guard by a person who was attempting to debate you, rather than attempting to engage you in a fairminded conversation? They ask for proof of your position, which on the surface seems to be a reasonable request, and they may even veil their position with words such as “science”, “reason”, or some altruistic motives, but since it is a debate against you and not […] Read more »
