**Warning. Long post ahead** It’s quite odd to write about a book that was written nearly a century ago, 1932 to be exact, and it still be very much relevant today, and possibly, increasingly relevant as we continue on into the future. And, you might ask, what do I mean? Well, one thing I’ve found…

I was going through some of my old poetry I wrote, and don’t even ask why, because it’s beyond me. But as I was going through it, I was fully expecting to have just a series of cringes and maybe even a bit of disgust of myself; my old high school self. But that’s not…

I have this problem, one in which I’m trying very hard to overcome, but it almost seems impossible. What is my problem you ask? I can’t stop myself from continuing to start new avenues of creativity, you could call it, without finishing my current one. What I mean by that is, although I haven’t finished…

The more and more I dive into, what some would call, the world of mysticism, spirituality, or transcendence, I find that there’s less and less I know about the nature of reality itself. Many people I run into and happen to have a conversation with, even among many of my friends, colleagues, and acquaintances, it…

I still don’t understand how a single picture, it can bring back so many memories. It’s such an odd thing. It’s almost like we forget we still have these memories locked away in our unconscious minds. We go on with our lives like it never happened and BAM, you go through an old picture album,…

Unsolved Dreams

Most of the time, when I start writing these posts, I usually have a problem in mind I want to solve and I usually have a general idea of an answer. If not, I’m still, usually, able to conclude some sort of answer by the end. This time, I have a question which I have…

I want to write about something that I’m fairly certain is going to be close to one of my more controversial posts, if not, my most controversial. It’s something I’ve been meaning to write about for quite some time, but every time I start, it doesn’t feel as if I’m ready. Now, for reasons beyond…

I want to talk about something that’s definitely going to get some differing opinions of those on the Christianity side, but has been on the forefront of my mind for quite a bit of time, as of recently. What is it? Tantric Buddhism. Now, I’m sure I’m going to get some things wrongs, especially if…

I want to write about a curious thing that happened to me the other day. These past few days, since last Friday actually, I have been feeling quite tired. And I mean that in a literal and metaphysical sense. I was, indeed, quite tired, as I wasn’t getting enough sleep. In fact, the total hours…

Let’s Talk About Libido

Jungian and Freudian psychology, at first glance, may seem similar in nature. This is due to the fact that both Jung and Freud considered repressed libido as the sole cause of a neurosis (mental disease) in an individual. But, like I said, this is only at first glance. Like most things, the devils in the details, and…
