Beyond Transcendental Buddhism

Birthing the Future Human — Creation was not made to be escaped. Reincarnation (for which we now have convincing evidence) is not a trap but a supremely intelligent process by which nature develops, evolves and refines individuals. This process “does not culminate in a spiritual awakening that liberates us from this planet, but in the…

Music is Tantra

Notes on the Cosmic Symphony — Sanskrit: tantra, meaning “continuum”, related to the verb “to weave”. And what is music but the vibrational weaving of the cosmic tapestry, using the basic elements of sound, body, heart, and soul? I want to briefly explore the idea that music played with intention, love, and wisdom is tantra. Music…

Introducing the Meta-Universe

Mother of All Universes — If you’re after for a deep download, you’ve come to the right place. I haven’t come across many concepts as mind-blowing as Duane Elgin’s concept of the Meta-Universe. It’s explanatory scope and power is really quite something. I’m going to use a short autobiographical piece to walk through the concepts…

Population Collapse and Global Awakening

We are fast approaching a unprecedented point in modern history: the point where the global death rate exceeds the global birth rate, and the world population begins to decline. In an age of increasing resource scarcity, this decline is going to be steady, drawn-out — and for most of us, incredibly painful. This article is going to unpack some of the lesser-discussed effects of this massive existential crisis on our collective evolution. They are not all bad.

The Evidence for Human Reincarnation is Here

And It Changes Everything — We live in amazing times. I never thought I would write this, but: we now have very good scientific evidence for human reincarnation as a natural fact of life. Yes, you can read that sentence again. This evidence mainly stems from the work of Dr. Ian Stevenson and his studies…

Glimpses of a Metamodern Buddhism

Ironic Sincerity and the Fertile Void — This is a daughter article of Trickster Buddhism: the Dawn of the Hahayana which you can read here. Having dragged Buddhism through both the absolutism of modernism and the deconstruction of postmodernism, the only viable way forward is to synthesise the two: to fuse the sincerity and idealism of modernism…

Way of the Freedom Artist

An Invitation — I generally avoid self-definitions. Why limit yourself with words and ideas? To remain undefined is to remain open, unlimited — and free. However, I have recently stumbled on an identity that I thoroughly enjoy using: The Freedom Artist. I like it because it allows one to relate to life itself…

Vladimir Putin and the Redemption of Evil

Lifting the Veil on Great Cover-Up — The Great Cover-Up Like so many people, I have sought all my life to become loving, pure, and good: a thoroughly moral human being. Now the ugly shadow side of such a quest is The Great Cover-Up of Evil. …
