The Cathars
It was said that 20,000 people died for a version of Christianity the Church didn't want. They believed the material world was a trap and the god that made it wasn't the real God. Rome burned them out of Languedoc for it. What survives is mostly written by those who wanted them gone.
The Observer
The World might not be broken, but your vantage point might be. Once you see the frame you've been looking through, you can't see the world in any other way - but the choice of what you do next is yours.
The Shadow
Shadow work has become a wellness product, but it wasn't always that way. When Jung coined the phrase, he meant parts of yourself that you refuse to admit exist. But refusing them doesn't remove them.
The Essays
I write longer arguments which I publish weekly, relating to systems, power, the histories that were buried and what conscious choice actually looks like when you're inside the machine. You can access these on Substack.
The Awakening
A political allegory about systems of control and what it costs to see them clearly.
