How To Make Friends
It would probably surprise people who know me personally to hear I always had a difficult time making friends growing up. When I moved schools in fourth grade a boy befriended me and we were very close until early seventh grade when he decided to stop hanging out with me (I never found out why but I moved again a few months later anyway). Although I was tall and well known as a teenager,
A Sad Lesson on Metaphysics
Boy is it hard to write and cry at the same time. My first love, Dolly Parton, died today at the age of 80 and, oh my God, what a life. What an absolutely phenomenal human being. As a child, Dolly’s song 9 to 5 was probably the first one I ever heard, very likely on the Donald Duck special Down and Out with Donald Duck, released in 1987
Fate and Action
One of the things I’ve taken for granted in the writing and publication of my new book, Under A Libra God, and public ascribing of astrology which has embarrassed a few, ignorant readers is that people would actually read my new book.
The Big Bang is Wrong (Or, How the Universe Works)
Something quite fortuitous and unexpected recently occurred in cosmology. The James Webb Telescope, the most advanced and expensive telescope ever made by man which was launched into space last year and set to orbit one-million fucking miles from Earth, just proved correct one of my foundational arguments about how the Universe works in my new book Under A Libra God.
How to Adult
Now that I’m almost 46 years old I feel like I have some authority on what it means to be an adult and how to live a successful, grown-up life. Mostly, my entire book The Perfect Child is about this, because many of our problems as an adult are rooted in our experiences of children in which we learned, by example, various control and coping mechanisms we then employ in adulthood which actually undermine our best interests and make life so much harder than it needs to be.
The Truth about Stocks and Economy
While the current economic state (in the USA but also elsewhere) is plainly obvious to many economists and analysts also discussing the economic bubbles, housing crisis, and affordability, not many (if any) recognize that we have actually been in a recession since the end of 2022.
The Imminent Collapse of the US Financial System
As part of my ongoing series demonstrating the utility and correlation of astrology with real-world events this article is going to talk about the upcoming chaos (as if things are not already chaotic enough) which will occur beginning a month from now and will last until spring 2027, including the total collapse of the financial system of the United States of America.
Things Get Worse Before They Get Better
At the end of last year I posted an article, “Cryptocurrency as a Lesson In Metaphysics” in which I discussed an upcoming parade of planets opposing Uranus that would result in a significant decline for cryptocurrency which would be a great demonstration of the laws of metaphysics which underly reality such as what the practice of astrology seeks (but often fails) to describe.
Countdown to Something Big
I haven’t been doing astrology very long, and while my new book resolves several big problems within contemporary astrology I am not exactly ‘good’ at it. That being said, the end of the year is rapidly approaching and suddenly we only have three weeks until 2026 begins.
Cryptocurrency as a Lesson in Metaphysics
In relation to my new book, Under a Libra God, I wanted to discuss something happening right now which is a pretty incredible demonstration of how the Universe actually works. As discussed in ULG, the Universe is built upon principles of mathematics, which is why math can be used to describe natural phenomena, but the mistake that most people make is that math does not only apply to physical nature but also metaphysical nature, wherein all events and occurrences in reality ARE ALSO governed by rational laws and mathematics.
The Stupid Gene
I don’t often talk about things like the reviews of my books. For a start, there aren’t many, and a few years ago when Facebook was revealed to be selling people’s personal information I deleted my accounts and pages even though that page contained even more reviews than what are otherwise available on the internet. But there is one review in particular that has always really stuck, that lives rent free in my head, and I just had to talk about it for the following reasons.
Understanding Reality
The internet is a great place to learn. But it is also a great place to become confused. Or to learn incorrect things. If you’re like me, a great deal of content you might see in places like YouTube, Instagram, and other content sites that will not be named, might actually just be confusing, or even demoralizing. What do you mean, tesseract?
Financial Trauma and Responsibility
Whenever I think back on my younger life and the problems I used to deal with, the one that always sticks out prominently is sitting down to my laptop in an apartment in Los Angeles at the age of 27 and practically trembling with fear at the spectre of having to look at my bank account. I could not avoid it because my debit card had just been declined, even though I was sure there had been money in the account…
Astrology, Really?
No one feels more silly talking about astrology than myself. In one moment I will be discussing the role of opportunistic microbial pathogens like Porphoromonas gingivalis or parasitic Trichomonas protists in the etiology of cystic fibrosis and chronic immune dysfunction and then in the next moment discuss how the influence of Saturn shapes our experiences of structure and responsibility.
The Tragedy of the Internet
Several days ago it was reported that a young man committed suicide after being encouraged to do so by ChatGPT, one of the most prominent “AI” (it’s not actually Ai, but a large language model) products on the market and widely used by many people. While it is clear the AI played a major role in this young man’s suicide we have known since its inception that “AI” is a notoriously unreliable product
The "Death" of Capitalism
We live in some pretty wild times. Rent across the entire country is too expensive for people to afford while more millionaires and billionaires have been created in the last few decades than even seemed possible. Governments start wars but chastise other governments for starting their wars, genocide remains ongoing in Palestine and Sudan…
Which Karpman Type are You?
Having received therapy from about seven different therapists in my life (including couple’s counseling), I was shocked at the age of thirty-six to first learn about the Stephen Karpman “Drama Triangle” model of trauma and conflict psychology because it is a well established and accepted model that not a single therapist had ever mentioned or even addressed it in any of our sessions.
Religion Breeds Poverty
While my family was never wealthy growing up, from my teenage years and on we lived in communities that could comfortably be described as upper-middle class. My father was a talented architect and general contractor, and aside from a brief detour pursuing his lifelong dream of having a restaurant his business consisted mostly of building homes on spec, meaning there was no buyer at the outset, then selling those homes once they were finished…
Spirituality In Modern Times
Saying the last decade has been chaotic is quite the oversimplification, as many of us have been through quite a lot of stress, upheaval, loss, and inconvenience. Several years prior to the pandemic my life fell apart as I became sick with cancer, abandoned by the love of my life, and began recovery from alcoholism and addiction. Yet even in the midst of that tumult I naively thought every year that good times must be just around the corner,
The Power of Fear
As I neared the end of my twenties I began having very disturbing dreams and nightmares from which I would wake breathless and bewildered, and seemingly normal situations which for others might produce maybe a little anxiety would leave me wracked with crippling and debilitating panic. For instance when I was twenty-seven I was invited to a vacation on Fire Island…
