A Toast to the Timed and Tamed
It’s funny how everybody celebrates New Year’s on January 1st, like clockwork — literally. The fireworks go off, champagne pops, resolutions fly, and everyone cheers in submission, believing they’ve begun something new. But if you really think about it, nothing has shifted but the clock’s agreement. Nature doesn’t renew herself in January’s frost. The trees are bare, the ground is sleeping. We start the “new year” when life is still in hibernation — and call that progress.

The Ghost Job Boycott:
At some point, awareness isn’t enough. Knowing the job market is rigged doesn’t change it. Naming ghost jobs doesn’t stop them. Even venting—no matter how justified—still feeds the same machine if applications keep flowing.

The Ghost Job Economy:
Let’s stop pretending shareholders are confused, naïve, or “fooled” by today’s job market. They aren’t. They’re the architects of it.

The Devil, the Mascot:
The devil, as most people imagine him, relies on spectacle. Fire. Brimstone. A red suit stitched together with fear and superstition. He frightens, he threatens, he tempts. He is loud. But in Gnostic thought, the devil is almost quaint—more mascot than mastermind. The real terror lies elsewhere, hidden behind systems, routines, and invisible rulers who do not need pitchforks because they already own the farm.

A violation is still a violation.
Let’s be clear from the start: **this is not a legal argument.** I do not care how statutes are written, how policies are framed, or which box an institution checks to make itself feel justified. This is a moral argument. And morality doesn’t bend just because a system is uncomfortable with the implications.

Sex, Love, and the Intelligence That Creates Worlds
There is an intelligence at work long before we call it desire, love, or faith. It decides timing. It governs attraction. It instructs the body how to heal and the soul when to open. Most people encounter it in fragments — during intimacy, moments of clarity, or sudden knowing — without realizing they are brushing against something vast and ordered.

Gratitude in the wake of loss
As I sit here writing this, I’m still trying to figure out where to begin. These past few days have been heavy...heavier than I expected, especially with the holidays happening around me. My heart has been carrying the weight of losing a family member, a feeling many can relate to. Even though I trust that God is taking care of them, the closeness of their passing has made me think about life in a completely different way.

The Christmas Hangover
Are you feeling done with Christmas, yet? I've had it with the tinsel, decorations, the food and the presents. The kids are tired and just plain worn out.

As 2026 Begins, What Do We Choose to Carry Forward?
The beginning of a new year doesn’t arrive with noise, it arrives with space. Even when celebrations fade and routines return, there’s a subtle quiet that follows. A moment where the future hasn’t fully taken shape yet, and the past still lingers close enough to be felt. That space is where reflection lives.

The Eye in the Fold:
Once you notice the hidden center of the cube, it’s hard to unsee it. The drawing no longer feels like a static object with six faces; it becomes a system. Lines converge. Directions collapse inward. A square appears where nothing was explicitly drawn. That emergent center isn’t decoration—it’s functional. It exists because perspective demands it.

You’ve Been Drawing the Fourth Dimension Since Childhood
That simple cube sketch you learned in school isn’t just a way to fake depth on paper. Embedded in its lines is the logic of higher dimensions—an emergent center that appears only when perspective does the work.

Friends: Our Chosen Family
Friend: Definition According to most dictionaries, a friend is a person whom one knows and with whom one has a bond of mutual affection. True friendship is not one-sided. Each person respects and looks out for the other's well-being. The relationship is stronger than just knowing someone or being acquainted with a person. The relationship goes much deeper than that. In order to be a true friend, three components must always exist.
