I’m reading the Science Delusion by Rupert Sheldrake and it’s a fun trip through all the different ways scientific models fail and what that should tell us about science. I haven’t finished it yet but what stands out very clearly is the whole idea that anything should be anything. The verb ‘to be’ is causing… Continue reading Nothing ain’t anything

Adulthood
I’ve been thinking a lot about development. Emotional development and growing up, becoming an adult human being. I view society and the people in it like a bunch of kids making a mess. Take a small step back and really look. But look with fresh eyes. There’s crayon on the walls and ceiling. Toys and… Continue reading Adulthood
One view to rule them all
We have really taken to the utility of maths and science, we love how neat it is, and how well it works. The iPhone I’m writing this on is an amazing device and the fact that it works is bloody magical. And we’ve transposed the perspectives that work for making iPhones to all parts of… Continue reading One view to rule them all
Perspectives
Think back 100 years, then another 100, and another and another, then imagine the perspective of a person in that period. How different was their outlook on life? How differently did they experience what happened to them and around them? Now do the same for people in your time. Then meditate a little on how… Continue reading Perspectives
Proof for the segregated
I’ll prove the truth of 1 to you. I make only one claim: consciousness is all and you are it. That’s it! Nothing more, everything else is a claim made by the segregated. And here’s my argument. The only thing you or any entity can know is: I am / Consciousness is / Experience is.… Continue reading Proof for the segregated
Misunderstanding
We live our lives with the mistaken belief that we are separate from everything else. We believe ourselves to be a finite entity at odds with our environment. Struggling and fighting to get ahead and survive. Our language very much reflects this view. In fact our language very much causes this view. Language is made… Continue reading Misunderstanding
Play a better game
This is a dream. Nothing about it is true. Reality is entirely belief based. You’re in a video game. And you aren’t real either. Your likes and dislikes fuel the engine that keeps the production going. Discontent is what keeps it all moving. Viewed from this perspective one can’t take out any of the bits.… Continue reading Play a better game
3 step program
1 🧍 2 👀 3 Step 1 – you’re the role. You’re in character, invested in the plot, engrossed by the story and you care very much about outcomes. Child Step 2 – you’re the actor. You have some distance from the soap, you understand it’s just a play and you’re ok however it plays… Continue reading 3 step program
☠️
What would you do if you knew you only had a week to live? What would you do if you knew this life was a simulation or a video game? I was listening to my favorite podcast (Very Bad Wizards) and they were discussing the possibility that we were living in a simulation. And according… Continue reading ☠️
Burn
The only thing that burns in hell is the part of you that won’t let go of your life: your memories, your attachments. They burn them all away, but they’re not punishing you, they’re freeing your soul. If you’re frightened of dying and you’re holding on, you’ll see devils tearing your life away. If you’ve… Continue reading Burn
