    finale

    conclusion

    we haven’t been evolving

    the earlier ‘root’ races

    may not have been as technologically ‘advanced’ as we think

    but were far more highly evolved, intuitive, and energetically aware

    no need for a phone with telepathy

    no need for a car if you can teleport

    ditto energy if it’s latent in the environment

    so there’s the conspiracy

    corporations

    governments

    religion

    in cahoots to subjugate the populace

    and make them forget

    that they are potentially much more powerful than the captors

    elaborate hideout

    down the great dragon was hurled

    and don’t need to participate in this extravagant hamster wheel they’ve put us on

    but we need to do better

    than our forebears

    without their wisdom to guide us

    because they fucked their shit up

    or were doomed to

    we haven’t been evolving but devolving

    because the universe, our dimension, has been descending

    for eons

    but samsara is a wheel, and now we know it is an ellipse

    a giant oval through creation

    whereby the divine light descends to the lowest from the highest

    reaches its nadir, then returns

    re-turns

    and we have rounded the corner

    yeah, it’s been shitty

    and the interim of rebuilding will also be hard

    but we’re back on the path to the source of all light and life

    why does god allow this?

    apparently, for God’s sake, since we are all one in a higher-dimensional sense

    but don’t go around telling people you’re god, ok?

    that’s not quite it; rein in that ego there

    but we are connected

    that much there is no denying

    so, if connectedness is all it seems to be, that’s ALL that is

    you

    me

    us

    and together, we are 3

    I have discovered a universe

    Just astride our own

    Beloved listener

  • Come. Follow me, weary traveller.

    Take my hand, beloved
    let me lead you through this labyrinth of oddities.
    Feel free to wander off the path – if you choose.
    But be warned;
    this collection has hungry things that might follow you home.
    But don’t let that keep you up at night,
    there are plenty of scarier things on the news.
    (once you start looking…)
    If the weird intrigues some deep, inner part of you:
    you are among friends here!

    Peruse at your own risk!

    the weird shit goes by

    the weird shit goes by, and we all learn to accept that the galaxy is way weirder than we ever imagined.

    of course, it’s hard. change sucks, even when it’s for the better.

    no one could have known that then, however.

    Weird doesn’t have to imply malice: we already overthrew the most dastardly pricks anywhere or when, and we did it – not with a bullet – but a hug.

    we evolved, they didn’t.

    they ceased to exist, we didn’t.

    the world moved on, forward, and together. without having the bug up its collective ass of having to struggle just to survive, clawing at each other for scraps was no longer even a faint consideration.

    fuck someone over for money? why would you harm another person, a real person -intententionally – to HOPE to gain an imaginary quantity?

    wow, how many delusions can you fit into a sentence? Logical fallacies? Don’t get me started.

    A world of secrets, shadows

    Here’s the game plan. 

    I am writing a book. Enough of the puzzle has come together to see how the seemingly unrelated pieces threaded into one story.

    I have put all the work into this story – writing down every glimpse I got, collecting and organizing them obsessively, and further digging in to see more. Writing, re-writing, and reorganizing, and now it’s ready. It all makes sense now, and I plan to deliver it, piece by piece.

    I want to show you the finished product when it’s done. In the meantime, I will release pieces to you in a way that I hope will balance sufficient depth while remaining in a digestible portion. I will continue to fine-tune this content with your feedback, and when it is ready, it will be published as a book, e-book, and audiobook in various formats.

    Once the first part of the story is complete, we will move on to the next in the same manner, in a way that will make for an entertaining read online.

    The final version of the book may differ slightly in format and in editing. Some of what you read may not make the final cut. This will make the process pieces that are put aside some rare, early edition experiences of the story that only you, the early supporter, will have read. 

    The goal is to make the story available to many people interested in reading it as soon as possible. The freshest material will always be exclusive to my paid supporters first.

    After a time, this material will be made available to more people and replaced with the next step in the story’s development. This way, there will always be progress on the project, and the finished product will be delivered according to your level of support.

    Let me tell you, it has been a hell of a ride so far, and I look forward to sharing it with you. I hope this will build a community of like-minded people to help propel this creation into the hands of whoever would appreciate its flavour. 

    Pay whatever you can or think the story deserves, and know that I sincerely appreciate your help to make this dream a reality.

    I hope you are entertained and intrigued by reading it and your thoughts provoked. May it bring something of value to your life.

    Thank you for joining me in this endeavour. I can’t promise that it will always be to your taste or to your liking, but I solemnly promise to deliver it faithfully and to the best of my ability.
