Memory

I imagine I am moving forward in time, repeating certain activities and experiences. But I am not moving anywhere. I am fixed right here at the place and the now that never changes. But there is no place nor is there a time where I am. So I am not here and now so much… Continue reading Memory

The existential primitive

I have spent a lifetime searching for the fundamental answer that clearly, instantly, and conclusively resolves every question I have. I have called it by many different names, and even believed I had found it on more than one occasion. But what seemed whole was always exposed as incomplete. With this post, I term this… Continue reading The existential primitive

Freedom and the fall

What do I seek? I seek being. What is being? Being is what comes after knowing. Being is not the question. It is not the answer. Being is the absence of the need to question, for I find the entire answer in being. In being, I am not lost. I know where I am so… Continue reading Freedom and the fall

In forgetting, I… Continue reading Seeing the body of my illness

May 30, 2022. Prior to this post, I have used the word “uniself” to refer to my state of identifying as a single person among others. In this post, I have officially replaced the word “uniself” with “demiself”, which is a more accurate description of the state. Emanation is my inward projection of the second place… Continue reading Formal continuity

Selfist forms of knowledge

In the selfist model there are two general forms of knowing: Uniself Knowledge In uniself, I believe there is an evolving set of knowable things. I am accustomed to believing that I know a growing percentage of what is knowable on a topic or range of topics. Because the totality of what is knowable is… Continue reading Selfist forms of knowledge
