Final Hangout: Thanks and Goodbye

We started this project four years ago. Over a hundred in-depth posts later, it's time to wrap up this hangout. It's been a helluva ride. We had an initial inkling to explore somewhat strange topics like UFOs, the deep state, trauma, pop culture (including yacht rock) as signs along the…

Evanescence

In a set of previous pieces I’ve looked at a model of spiritual awakening following the flow or evolution of awakening through transcendence, immanence, and incandescence. Each of those three constitutes a spiritual paradigm, organizing both the practices undertaken, the kinds of experiences experienced within that paradigm, and the…

Astrology in the Life and Times of General Ulysses Grant

In previous pieces I’ve explored astrological themes when reflecting on the global events of a year (for 2020 and 2021). I’ve also done astrological readings of individuals (Donald Trump), as well as of Ethereum, a cryptocurrency. In those pieces I lay out more my philosophical approach to astrology—…
