That we continue to navigate this world being even slightly more constructive than destructive is, in itself, a strangely beautiful fact — We’re authors of perspective A derecho [weather event] is a line of intensely chaotic windstorms, termed from the Spanish phrase ‘straight ahead’. Our own nature, in how we navigate through (and out of) the chaos of our world, isn’t unlike the intensive progression of a series of such storms — destructive while eerily enlivening.

On our conscious navigation through past, present and future. — Consider a new way to contextualize our conscious states: via the three tenses of time (past/present/future). By leveraging these three tenses/dimensions of conscious movement against our ability to create change, such a contextualization may prove especially useful for transcending the usual constraints of time — for it’s change itself that…

On why we’ve been counting in the wrong direction — Time’s a dance, not a march What if we were to ground our perspective of time in abundance, not scarcity, and consider its movement as one that doesn’t diminish downwards to zero but, rather, accumulates up from it? A new theory under a familiar context of change turning future to past; unsaddling our own judgements and…

A new theory of consciousness; technological and athletic applications; intensive intent and transcending time. — A Boston University team lead by Andrew Budson, MD and Professor of Neurology, recently published a new theory regarding consciousness, which posits that consciousness itself functions as a memory system more than anything, acting secondary to the unconscious directions of the mind. Per Dr. Budson:

Moving with the intuitional, logical, rational and emotional twists and turns of our conscious drive through this reality — Overriding the ABC’s. The relentless quest for optimization has turned us into a result-first kind of culture — a good thing if you’re looking to maximize the output of a hive-minded species but not necessarily the best thing for, well, getting the most out of life. Even the collective efficacy of our progress…

On the [ful]filling potential of empty space — “When one enquires into the essential nature of things — into the deeper realms of matter in physics; into the deeper realms of consciousness — one discovers a different reality beyond the superficial mechanistic appearance of everyday life.” - Fritjof Kapra The pursuit of common denominators through the fringe-intersections of…

Chasing truth through the illusory constructs — A broken compass Part of our schtick as a human species seems to be the need to map out the territory atop which our existence flails around, whatever the style of map may be — be it science, consciousness, culture. The kicker is that we seem to operate with an inherent tendency of…
