Half-truths are like bad poetry (trivial notes)

By nature people tend to see and hear and they want to see and hear. It really cannot be helped and isn’t going to be washed out of them in the space of a few social media messages. And yet, the all intellectual, justice-striving liberal left has no problem making fun of these very people …

Reposting Meaninglessfull Note on Music and God: the truth of silent observation

Just realized I haven’t listened to any music for a few days now. I do wonder if not listening to music for a while explains how I was so productive [recently]. I once went 6 – 8 years (?) not listening to music in order to get closer to God. It worked. For clarification, I …

On Abstaining from Asceticism: A Repost from scifi.global

I want to return to my post, “Solarpunk and Vestiges of the Ascetic.” My primary point, which I believe I failed to communicate is the suffering required to attain the transcendent moment, to meet that clarity, is flawed.

Romantic Awe and the Traces of Deleterious Dispensation

Romantic awe is like stroking your fingers along the inner traces of a sobole clock, so close to recess, so moved as to recoil. Romantic awe is lambast in sheep skin, too close to forging tidings; too far from our god-mother’s solstice embrace. What I have spent time attempting to warn you about is the …

The Lure of Awe and a Romantic Empathy Approach

Awe in our contemporary struggle is not without corporatism and digression from solitude. As we digress we feel closer to a social order and that feeling brings a sense of reward because we are social beings, intended to be together here in this space. However, awe and its lure has long been corrupted. It can …

What are the Consequences of Romantic Empathy?

Characteristics central to the English Romantic era were beauty and consciousness. To know a thing is to become a thing whereas that idea magnifies and precludes one’s own value of presence. This is not unlike the great fall at the Garden, where the true crime of Adam and Eve was the tailoring of possessiveness. To …
