Empathy for Our Ancestors
Western modern culture has a precarious disdain and a perilous disregard towards those who came before us. A tiresome and treacherous signaling of fabricated and unearned virtue. Born in the privileged life of Western academia. Infecting all our institutions and teaching our children terrible mistruths. Robbing them of the hard-earned wisdom of those who came before, mistakenly believing “we know better.”

Read MoreSpirituality Isn’t Love
Spirituality adrift we wander in darkness. Searching for fulfillment in a world that aggressively suppresses the Divine. Squeezing our souls and draining us of our humanity. Like pressed fruit, we find ourselves empty, exhausted and exploited.
