  • Categorically ignoring someone — when is that cool? their presence and expressions — their very existence. As if looking through thin air into a distant void... First. When you've already responded and closed it. When the "yes" or "no" (or "maybe") just doesn't sink in. When they keep on invading your space and sovereignty. Read more...

  • Nothing lines up! No sense of synchronicity. Not a slightest sense of magic and alignment. Why is life so edgy. Why do I bounce off the walls? It must be that the environment is against us... One finger points outward. A trident points inward: 1. We actively sabotage situations with our agenda. 2. We impose limitations and undermine the potential. 3. We don't attend to and adapt to what actually is. Read more...

  • ⊂ talks ⊆ kernel-talkscreated 2025-06-22updated 2025-11-04 words 969 06:36 min
  • Respect my authority! Because you say so right? When your awareness is slanted with your agendas, your reign rests in a hallucinated house of cards.

Make your stance. Read more...

  • Where we have lofty ideas, where we wish to express and implement them, we must have lucid and well-rounded models of operation.

  • Casting of abstract patterns and expansion of cognitive circuitry. Not just for the amusement of cosmopolitan musings. That too but. But there's more in the works here. Here we reframe all things. Fields of nuance are spread across countless semantic fields. This is a pattern farming exercise. Hybridization of symbols.

  • Your "the ego"? There is no such monolithic ego. We are complex entities — not one-dimensional blobs. You are a rich system of concern domains in a stack.

  • Someone comes up with an insight. Not on the market yet. Mere moments later, that insight becomes their ego ride. We longer operate in service of the insight itself. Instead, the insight is harnessed as your ego's slave. Then we are driven by a burning need to push it out there. For validating ourselves, for establishing our special status. Read more...

  • Who are we? What am I to you, you to me? I alone unto myself, you in your context? What you make of it, whatever "me" is built, it is the "me" that exists in your weavings. Then in our intersections — the "us" us born. I am there in many reflections of your essence. All are friends unbound — some known and others not. A friend zone the size of universe — there we share.

  • When you seek the deep essence of what you are. Soar not with the high winds into entropy afar. Enter the cave and encounter your inner gravity. Blueprints etched into the ground of your being.

  • If it seems that you don't exist... then chances are, you fail to be present? Not present — not absent — ambiguously not-ish.

  • Hello! Is it me you're looking for? No? How tragic! Who would have guessed. Among the folks going on about topics like this, I find two common extremist factions on the stage. Shameless self-promoters. Message exists as a platform for self-exposure. Anonymous escapists. Message is a diversion from their boring lives. Can we just be ourselves and share it as it is?
