More Detailed Stuff…

Writing is my vehicle for exploring myself and the world. And maybe, just maybe, improving both. Can’t attest to whether I have improved the world, but through sharing these explorations with other people online I have certainly learned a hell of a lot. I’m interested in what it means to be human and how to live the “good life” which philosophers, poets, knights, lovers and madmen have always pursued. Along the way I have gotten mixed up in a lot of different subject areas from pop culture to God to conspiracy to theories of the mind and ultimately - and most importantly - to self-mastery.

Self-mastery, you could say, has been the hidden focus of all my writing and seeking for the four plus years which I have been running this website and this alchemical experimentation upon the substance of my own being. It is really only lately I feel those efforts bearing some fruit in my life: with ever escalating waves of clarity and tranquility. I am of the mind that we are not only responsible for our own decisions, but that we as individuals are solely responsible for taking charge of our own emotional states. Your perceptions of the world control your experience of it and vice versa. Be vigilant and be joyous. Living for others and mastering yourself are the only true and lasting routes to happiness I have found. I am working right now on always living just on the verge of bursting out into laughter, because the world both needs and deserves that.

I am getting my shit .ORGanized!

Old Stuff, Cause… Yeah, it happened.
