For those who outgrew the academy but not the search. Not peer-reviewed, but peer-revived.
It has been my hope in writing this simplest and briefest of sketches to present the reader with the most essential starting point for any spiritual pursuit. I will be skimming over vast amounts of information – entire religions’ worth of intricacies, but, sometimes simplicity is more conducive to understanding than lengthy expositions. This is …
They did not sleep after the spring. The eyes that once strained through mist now began to burn, not with fatigue, but with that solar fever known only to initiates of impossible dawns. The flowers that blossomed without permission, the voices that rose from root and ruin, did not recede. They multiplied. The season had …
There is a kind of awakening that does not celebrate.It does not gather likes. It is not shared.I am talking about the refusal to sleep again. This is not about sleeplessness of the nervous system.This is a deeper insomnia – spiritual, archetypal. A refusal to collapse into the anesthesia of the age.A refusal to comply …
There is a moment after the trauma, after the pain, after the rupturing panic;when something refuses to sleep again. It is subtle at first.A kind of quiet pressure behind the eyes.An alertness in the soul that no longer dims.

On Presence, Numbing, and the Formation of a New Type There is a numbing at the heart of modern life. Not the kind that arrives with trauma or pain, but something colder, quieter, harder to notice. A saturation that stuns the soul. Information flows like floodwater, images flicker past faster than reflection, and novelty deadens …
In the modern world, the greatest crisis is not material, nor even strictly ideological. It is perceptual. There is a numbing underway: a spiritual anesthesia that dulls the finer instruments of perception, making it impossible to sense the sacred, the mysterious, the vital. This numbing does not come by accident; it is the result of …
Myth speaks in a tongue older than the ego, deeper than ideology. It bypasses rational defenses and speaks directly to the imaginative, symbolic, and archetypal centers of human consciousness. The very places where worlds are formed. Modernity’s metaphysics are cloaked in neutrality but they are not neutral. They tell a story: of a world without …
You came here to unmake the world they sold you. We are midwives to a birth that has never happened. Our ancestors hinted at it, mystics wept for it, poets dreamed it. But no civilization has ever embodied it A being no longer divided against itself. Thought that bows to silence. A body radiant with …
Understanding Mythomechanics: An Introduction You are already using mythomechanics even if you’ve never heard the word. Every time you tell yourself a story about who you are, what the world is, or why something matters, you are engaging the machinery of myth.
