Your Religion No Longer Bothers Me.

In my fighting days, I’d accuse religious people of two things. The first was of how naïve and narrow-minded they could be. The second was of their crude agenda: pushing their beliefs on people who didn’t ask for it. I hated religion because of it. But as I sit here today, writing this, my ...

Mystics: Knowledge-Makers Daring to Bare Knowledge.

Without mystics and their material, we seek sublimity in the superficial. Religion formerly fed this need. Ever since Nietzsche, however, God has lost speed (and influence) with many.

Nature Is My Playground.

The seldom times we get to be out in nature, we get to touch base once more with who we are. Only then, when we return back into society, to forget and get caught up in the roller coaster. We drink, take drugs, engage in harmful activities, and seek external pleasures. We become extremists in ...

Being Reborn As The Butterfly That I Am.

I realize now, looking back at my journey of transformation, which felt more as a transmutation -- a death/rebirth process -- what I went through was an energetic, alchemical process that changed my whole consciousness and, consequently, my self-identity, the process akin to what a caterpillar ...
