Mid‑Life and Other Crises: Crisis or Awakening? …Your Call


 

Mid‑Life and Other Crises: 

Man or Woman? / Crisis or Awakening?

 

The Thresholds We All Meet

If you live long enough, and live consciously enough, you start to notice that life doesn’t unfold in a straight line. It moves in thresholds. Pressure points. Moments where the self you’ve been collides with the self you’re becoming.

THE WORLD BEHIND THE WORLD

A Deep Exploration of Paradigm, Perception, Trauma, and the Return to Seeing

 

1. The World Is Not What It Seems

I’ve walked this earth long enough to know that the world most people see is only a thin slice of what’s actually here. Beneath the surface, beneath the noise, the habits, the programming, there is a realm of wonder so profound it borders on the miraculous. A world of subtle intelligence, quiet magic, and beauty so staggering it can bring a grown person to their knees.

But most never see it.

The Bottom Line

There are many paths a person can take in search of peace. Some walk the spiritual road, some follow the psychological, some lean into meditation or breathwork, and some simply stumble into quiet moments that remind them of who they are beneath the noise. But no matter the path, no matter the method, the bottom line is always the same:


Peace is an inside job...

The Solar Plexus Chakra, Where Emotion Becomes Power

 

The Solar Plexus Chakra, Where Emotion Becomes Power

 

I. Standing at the Fire in the Center of Myself

When I talk about the Solar Plexus Chakra, I’m not talking about an abstract symbol or a pretty yellow mandala floating in the air. I’m talking about something I’ve lived, something that has knocked me to my knees, lifted me to my feet, and taught me that emotion is not a flaw in the system but the ignition point of personal power.

For me, the Solar Plexus is the place where my emotions stop being background noise and start becoming messages. It’s where fear becomes clarity, where anger becomes boundary, where joy becomes fuel, and where tears, those strange, holy little droplets, become a release valve for the pressure of being human.

The Third Eye and the Architecture of Seeing

 


The Third Eye and the Architecture of Seeing

There’s a moment in every seeker’s life when the familiar boundaries of thought begin to feel too small. When the labels we’ve inherited, spiritual, psychological, biological, start to feel like fences around a landscape that was never meant to be fenced. I’ve lived long enough, and wandered far enough, to know that the truth of our inner world doesn’t sit neatly inside any single discipline. It lives in the overlap, in the place where mysticism, science, and lived experience converge.

A Reflective Exploration for Thoughtful Seekers


Introduction: Contextualizing the Loss of Belief in Magic

You’re missing the magic. The true magic has been discredited by the commodified magic, the fake magic, the pop-magic, the dark magic, on and on and on. At first one listens to the nonsense, drawn by its promises of a full and prosperous life and love and power, and naturally, you find yourself fascinated with it, enticed and beguiled by it. But alas, after a time you stop believing because none of its promises ever came to fruition. Time passes, and after a few more of these experiences, you no longer believe that there is any such thing as magic at all. Then inevitably you can no longer see or experience the real magic that has always been there, and does indeed permeate every aspect of our lives.

Sorcery, Perception, and the Paradox of “It”

Unraveling the Alchemy of Experience and the Equivalence of Meaning


The Alchemy of “Sorcery”: Technology, Life, and the Spell of Perception

It is though, after all, “sorcery”… perception is the key to life… “It” is what “it” is.

At the intersection of science and poetry, there lingers the beguiling notion that, despite our rational certainties, the world remains enchanted, if only by the lens through which we perceive it. To call something “sorcery” is not necessarily to invoke the supernatural, but to acknowledge that experience is, fundamentally, transformative. Technology, art, and even simple existence carry within them this touch of the arcane, a suggestion that the familiar is always potentially magical, awaiting only a shift in perception.

Homage to the Humble Sacral Chakra

Homage to the Humble Sacral Chakra... Possibly the most overlooked Chakra of them all. Like the lonely child sitting off in the corner. Not because it isn’t vital, but because it doesn’t get all the publicity that many others receive, Third Eye, Kundalini, etc., how can it compete with that. Basically it hasn’t had as good of a PR firm representing it as the other more “shining star” Chakras. I would like to set that straight here. I’ll do your PR my friend Sacral… 😊
