    Become the Paradox: On Time, Free Will, and Meaning

    Become the Paradox: On Time, Free Will, and Meaning

    “Life has to be given a meaning because of the obvious fact that it has no meaning.” ~Henry Miller Philosophy is multifunctional. I would even say it’s meta-functional. It both creates and destroys meaning. If the world throws meaning at Philosophy, it simply cuts it down with either a higher meaning or with no meaning at all. If the world throws meaninglessness at Philosophy, it merely cuts it down by either creating meaning out of nothing or transforming nihilism into exist

    Carpe Noctem: Embracing the Dark to See the Light

    “A harmless man is not a good man. A good man is a dangerous man who has that under voluntary control... That doesn’t mean that being cruel is better than not being cruel. What it means is that being able to be cruel and then not being cruel is better than not being able to be cruel. Because in the first case you're nothing but weak and naive and in the second case you're dangerous but you have it under control.” ~Jordan Peterson Initiate the monster. Integrate the shadow. Ba

    How to Transform Misery and Mastery into Mystery

    “A mistake that makes you humble is better than an achievement that makes you arrogant.” ~Unknown The human condition is a tightrope walk over an abyss. Lean too far one way and you fall into misery. Lean too far the other way and you fall into arrogance. Balance is achieved when the extremes are harmonized through mystery. The Great Mystery is the primal center. The Great Mystery is a balance of opposites walking the tightrope between misery and mastery. The center cannot ho

    Belief is a Hang-up: Let It Go!

    “We should go and proclaim without cease and remind people at every step of what we are: that our capacity for self-delusion has no limits and that anybody who believes anything is mistaken.” ~Celsa Milosz Attachment (belief) is both an intellectual, psychosocial, and spiritual tripwire. We cling to our beliefs at our own detriment. The more we cling to a belief, the more closeminded and inflexible we become and the more difficult it is to change our mind. Better not to cling

    The True Power of a Good Sense of Humor

    “A sense of humor is superior to any religion so far devised.” ~Tom Robbins Everyone is so focused on the joke aspect of humor that they miss out on the most powerful aspect of humor. Being able to joke and clown around and poke fun is the least of what having a good sense of humor entails. The most crucial aspect of having a good sense of humor is not how to joke, but how to take a joke. Especially in an existential sense. That’s where the true art of humor shines. That’s wh
    The Subtle Art of Gray Walking

    The Subtle Art of Gray Walking

    "The hidden harmony is better than the obvious.” ~Heraclitus The Way (the Path, the Journey, the Tao, the Absolute, the Infinite) existed long before the zealots divided it into Good and Evil. It will exist long after they have faded to dust. Where attachment splits the Way (right and wrong, light and dark, good and evil, life and death, black and white, beginning and ending), detachment honors the Way as the Middle Way (gray, centered, amoral, moderate, in-between, infinite)
