Emotional Abuse

“Is there a reason that you didn’t wash my bowl?” — As she rages and walks away, and tells me just how much she’s changed, and the awful things that I have done to her, and that this isn’t the right time, and if I just wouldn’t say anything, things would be fine, and that she feels like a pebble in…

When Jesus was Wrong

My God, my God, why have you forsaken me? In the depths of despair, at the end of life — it’s the apocalypse. A spiritual death and rebirth. A literal death and rebirth? A time when we come to terms with everything, and the whole universe changes in response. …

Finding God

Writing is now The Fluff

Aren’t you all sick of this shit? — Forgive the drama. You can all say suck it up, it’s what everyone does, and there’s plenty of good reasons for it — and you’d be right. As It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia said — there’s a spider living in my soul. (Give the song a google). Medium destroyed my…

The Divine Metaphor

Stories Hidden in Plain Sight — True believers take things so seriously. So seriously it hurts. There are many amazing books of wisdom. The Bible is one of them. When viewed through the lens of the Divine Metaphor, the Creation Story takes on a whole new meaning. Adopt what you first learned — that Adam and…

Uniting the Self and the Other

Synthesizing the Polarities — How shall we solve this problem, this eternal conflict? The self vs the other. The group like us and the group not-like us. It requires a philosophy that can unite the two. A way of thinking that values the individual. …

Grief

Learning from Death — The grief is fresh. It washes over me in waves. I’ve already tried to distract myself, but can’t — and shouldn’t. The cycles of grief are cyclical, and move between sheer pain and a nostalgic laughter. When it’s fresh, it happens faster and swings higher. I feel completely silent. Almost unable to speak. There is so much in my mind. There is so much I have experienced. A year has passed where nothing has happened (all while so much happened — what gives?). A day has passed that contained years.

The Universe Experiencing Itself

Eight Billion Experiments — We learn by doing. We do things, almost at random, until we find something interesting. When we find something interesting, we increase our focus on it until it seems chaotic. When the chaos reveals order within itself, we move to the next level. We learn more. Our skills improve. It’s…

The Failure of Fundamentalism

Re-redefining Fundamentalism — The term fundamentalism evokes within me something of a Make America Great Again feeling. It’s not a happy feeling — but the words themselves taken out of context are innocent. There’s nothing inherently wrong with making America great again — though that statement brings with it a steam-powered train full…
