Love Between Two Enemies Part Four
Secrets Don’t Stay Buried The photograph felt heavier than paper. Ethan stared at it under the dim light of his office, long after midnight had swallowed the city. Two men stood side by side, their hands clasped in a firm handshake—smiles restrained, eyes calculating.

Across the Ages of the Self: How the Soul Learns Through Time
There are ideas that arrive softly, like a whisper brushing the edge of consciousness, and others that land with the weight of recognition—as though they were always known, waiting only for language to catch up. The understanding that our incarnations on Earth unfold across vast arcs of time, spanning roughly 2,500 years of experiential learning, belongs to the latter category. It is not a doctrine, not a dogma, not a rigid metaphysical map. It is a framework that resonates across mystical traditions, ancient cosmologies, and modern spiritual inquiry. It is a way of understanding the soul’s long journey through matter, time, and choice.

The Demons We Invent: Ego, Free Will, and the Illusion of Darkness
For as long as human beings have been able to name their fears, we have created shapes to hold them. Every culture, every religion, every era has produced its own vocabulary for the unseen forces that trouble the mind and unsettle the heart. In the ancient world, these forces were often personified as demons—malevolent beings who whispered temptation, sowed chaos, and preyed upon the vulnerable. But as our understanding of psychology, consciousness, and spiritual agency has deepened, a different picture has begun to emerge. The demons we fear may not be external entities at all. They may be projections of our own ego, born from the parts of ourselves we refuse to acknowledge, the consequences of our choices, and the destruction our free will has caused. When we follow divine will, these demons dissolve, not because they have been defeated, but because they were never real in the first place. They were shadows cast by our own resistance to truth.
