The descentist framework explains my existence in practical, literal terms. It aims to eliminate abstraction. To that end, descentism is entirely validated by my own direct experience. There comes a point when I can continue down the path I have, not knowing, or I can begin to listen to the instruments I have at my… Continue reading Anatomy of my illness

My awakening
My existence is a series of painful, unwanted awakenings into this place I call life. What is my awakening?
