Let’s get away from emotion, opinion, he-said/she-said, and all the hearsay surrounding this, the most misunderstood of all dog breeds. We are going to stray (no pun intended) from our usual topics of interest for a moment to address a matter which comes up a lot in our circles. This question about Pitbull terriers and…
Roughly half of alleged seekers are deluded by the belief they are already awake, yet are unable to glean the Truth of this poem, despite it not being veiled but explicit.

Much has been said on the topic of hate, and we could spend years recounting all the many ways that hate has been described, explained, dismissed and even justified. But we are not here to contribute another theory to be thrown onto the mountain of intellectualizations and rationalizations which already exist. We are here to…
What is the nature of doubt, belief, knowledge? How do they relate to one another? The nature of belief is not something many people want to hear about; but it’s something we must be made aware of if we hope to acquire genuine knowledge (gnosis) and free ourselves from hypnosis and ignorance.

Often to the point where we have no choice but to ask them directly…

To be or not to be. That is the question. Not only do these words make up the question of questions, the words which follow the opening line of Shakespeare’s most famous soliloquy from Hamlet Act III, Scene 1, constitute the MOST IMPORTANT WORDS EVER WRITTEN IN ENGLISH. Why? There have been literally tens of…
Consider a mythological world where hammers once built houses by the tens of thousands and people lived in peace and harmony. During this “Golden Age,” children were born and raised to become Master Carpenters, so when they found a spouse they could work together with their hammers to build their house together…a house which served as an inner sanctuary for them from the harsh elements of physical reality outside. Today, all that people of Hammeridin know are countless shadowy versions of Hammerism which mostly fuel hammercide and homelessness. How did they arrive here, and is there a way out of the suffering they endure?
