Loving The Absurdity

On the grotesquely beautiful reality of our existence — “I said that the world is absurd, but I was too hasty. This world in itself is not reasonable, that is all that can be said. But what is absurd is the confrontation of this irrational and the wild longing for clarity whose call echoes in the human heart.” Albert…

Our Inscrutable Universe

And the shared journey we undertake through its wonderful complexity — As the over-thinking creatures we are, we can’t help but contextualize reality through a subjective frame of reference whereby we’re the nuclei at the center of everything. This poses a problem when it comes to our shared journey towards the certain penultimate truths that we find ourselves forever chasing. While…

Beautiful Meaning

Five arguments detailing how meaning is not just an illusion to our reality — I’ve always found myself rather obsessed with trying to confirm the objective existence of meaning behind our own existence; in other words, to refute the idea that meaning only exists because we create it ourselves. In so doing, I’ve tried to explore as comprehensive a landscape as possible, delving into…

Polar Dynamics

Traversing the spectrums of life in pursuit of meaning and truth — For Truth It seems that there can never be enough said about the ways by which the entirety of our existence — everything that has defined us and everything that continues to delineate meaning for us — adheres to the natural law of polarity. It’s the fuel that generates value in our…

Chasing the Iridescence

Riding the meaningful edge of the silver lining and filling the dark with the contrast of our glowing existence — “I was a rock collector, and a butterfly collector, and an amateur rocketeer, and all these things. And when I analyzed these pursuits of mine, it was the pursuit of a certain flash of iridescence: the iridescence that you get when you break open ore-bearing rock, or the iridescence that…

Under [or Over] the Fabric of Reality

Breaking through the definitions that bind us — No matter the kind of questions and answers we wrestle with in trying to decipher our surrounding reality, we always seem to circle back to the idea that everything’s interrelated. Chemists, anthropologists, economists, physicists; those who have had near death experiences or those who have taken psychedelics; every religious denomination…

Shadows of Perception

On nothingness, and all the other things that are too much, but not enough, to grasp — Inescapable Voids Sitting on the sun- and wind-swept shore of a secluded lake that I often frequent, I came to a number of realizations regarding a concept I’ve always had some trouble grasping — one that has engaged the deepest echelons of our cognitive and imaginative faculties since we could begin to…

Ouroboros & Possibility

Unravelling the process by which we turn imaginative potential into actualized reality — “Nature loves courage. You make the commitment and nature will respond to that commitment by removing impossible obstacles. Dream the impossible dream and the world will not grind you under, it will lift you up. This is the trick. This is what all these teachers and philosophers who really counted…

Apertures of Consciousness

Prescient truths from a certain uncertainty — “There are no facts, only interpretations.” ― Friedrich Nietzsche In the way that we cling to stability and progress, while only keeping the unpredictable nature of life at a daydreams distance, we risk mishandling our navigation through reality, assuming arrogantly that we hold some semblance of control over everything around…

The Paradox That We Are

Defining particles and riding waves to arrive at… — The grooves that define us Thanks to our intuitive assembly of various concepts emanating from physics and quantum physics, from the natural world and from the ideations that have emerged alongside our own evolution — from biological assumptions and religious inclinations — we’ve come to appreciate everything as consisting within a certain framework: a divine…
