  • Analogical Geometry - Book I
    3 days ago
    This is the latest version of the Introduction for my upcoming book, "Analogical Geometry - Book I". "Modeling Reality" focuses upon the interconnections between classical Geometry and the way one experiences the physical world, making more akin to a branch of physics than theoretical mathematics. This introduction provides a historic background for the numberless approach towards Geometry that this book takes - even borrowing a quote from Sir Isaac Newton.

  • Analogical Geometry - Book I
    3 days ago
    This is the latest version of Chapter 1 - A Language of Relations, which focuses on developing a relational approach to Geometry based upon the way one experiences physical reality. In keeping with classical traditions, this approach makes no use of number and focuses on the continuous magnitudes of length, area, volume, and time.

  • Analogical Geometry - Book I
    3 days ago
    This is a copy of Appendix III for my new book entitled, "Analogical Geometry - Book I: A Language of Relations". This Appendix illustrates how the classical approach to Geometry (no numbers) can be viewed as a branch of physics. It also shows how the process of Geometric construction outlined by Euclid represents an inversion of the way individuals experience Nature, causing points and lines to be used more as symbols than facets of Reality in modern approaches to Geometry.

    Just a quick note to let everyone know that I have made several updates to the site. Perhaps most importantly, there is now a functional side-navigation for people who aren't logged in — which is the bulk of visitors at this point! This should make it easier for all of you to browse content and find articles and information that you are interested in viewing!

    All the best,

    July 4th, 2020

    Today marks the adoption of the Declaration of Independence by the Continental Congress in 1776, resulting in the holiday being known in the United States as Independence Day.

    This document is unique in that it explicitly stated that all men [now humans] are created equal. As we are seeing today, this value is a difficult one to uphold, not only in our present era, but throughout history as well.

    While the framers of this country have not been without their foibles, the truth of the matter is that "we the people" still have much work to do.

    For this year's fourth, how can each of us help make this ideal a reality for all people. Put another way, how can we grow this nation so that it can realize the spiritual goals commemorated on this day more than two centuries ago?

    David Bohm - On Fixed World Views

    Wholeness & the Implicate Order
    Bohm's work was invaluable as a reference for my first book, "Science & Perception". Almost 3 years after first being introduced to his writings, I am still going back to this book and finding new insights and inspiration.

    I find Bohm inspiring , not only for his depth and range, but also his perspective on the role of science as a discipline. Somehow, even after reaching the pinnacle of scientific thought, Bohm managed to keep a certain humility about him (at least as evidenced by his writings).

    This is one of the things I enjoy about his writings, although they can take time to go through and are often highly technical, he never loses his humanity, nor forgets that he is writing for a human audience.

    Let My People Go Surfing
    Yvon Chouinard's story is another book that I keep coming back to again and again. Those of you questioning whether you can build a multi-million dollar corporation and still keep your soul will find inspiration in Chouinard's account.

    This doesn't mean that things have always been easy - they haven't - and Chouinard admits that. It does show that one can build out a business with integrity - and even have fun while doing it!

    Science & Perception - Preface

    The Preface is my attempt, as the author, to provide context for the entire book: why I wrote it, why I feel that it's important, and what I hope reader's get from it.

    This is a snapshot of how I felt both before and while I was writing the book, with a much different perspective and intent than that found within the Conclusion.

    Science & Perception - Prologue

    Like the ancient Alchemical texts, the Prologue sets the stage for the entire book (not just the discussion and dialogue, but the book as a whole).

    The Prologue is a soliloquy to the audience, serving to foreshadow events while providing depth and context for the events that the storyteller is about to recount.

    Science & Perception - Chapter 0

    Chapter 0 is where everything starts, the zero, or starting point for the entire book. The "Friday Group" is immediately plunged into a heated discussion over the Nature of the Universe and the role that Perception plays in modeling the world.

    An apparently simple question (puzzle) stumps the group — not due to the answer, but simply because a WAITRESS posits a question (puzzle) that no one in the GROUP can answer (solve).

    Science & Perception - Chapter 1

    Chapter 1 explores the idea of the Universe in much greater detail, positing that the Universe is actually infinite in Nature. This idea of infinity is closer to the idea of boundlessness, rather than "extremely big" or "extremely small".

    Since this conception of the Universe contains *everything* by definition, it is also boundless — making the idea of anything "outside of it" impossible (once again, by definition).

    Science & Perception - Chapter 2

    Chapter 2 explores how the phenomenal world could be created through a process of "Separation & Division", in a process analogous to mitosis within the cells.

    This *could* indicate that the Universe as a Whole is a living being - especially if we expand the idea of "life" to conscious intelligence or an active process of patterning.

    Science & Perception - Chapter 3

    This chapter covers the concept of the "Mutual Arising of Opposites", borrowed from and inspired by the Taoist sages, as well as Alan Watts in greater depth.

    I continue with additional graphic means of description and experiments that you can do with a simple pen and paper to understand how we (may) give rise to the phenomenal world through our mental models.

    Science & Perception - Conclusion

    I wrote this section *after* finishing "Science & Perception", so it serves as a kind of summary of things that I noticed and learned along the magical journey of writing a book.

    It is by no means comprehensive, but served as a way to highlight concepts and bring light to them in a different format than the Dialogue found within the book.

    Science & Perception - Appendix I

    After looking over this Appendix recently (June 2020), I will be the first to say that this Appendix needs some updating. The Absolute is actually absolutely continuous AND discrete - as being The Absolute it subsumes all pairs of complements.

    While this may be somewhat difficult to grasp (after all, it only took me another 2 1/2 years to articulate after publishing the book), if something is absolutely continuous, then it has no break points or points of discontinuity.

    Paradoxically, this also makes The Absolute absolutely discrete, as it is exactly One Thing due to its Unbroken Nature.

    Science & Perception - Appendix II

    Appendix II focuses on the "Rules for Exegesis" when interpreting holy books. I found this reference invaluable in helping me shift my vantage point and perspectives across the multiple authors and works (to say nothing of the characters) while writing and editing "Science & Perception".

    Why Storytelling?
    Why is storytelling so important to me? It's quite simple, really. I believe that we create our world through the stories we tell about ourselves, others, and the world around us.Try as we might, none of us can escape the power of stories. If you find yourself disagreeing with me

  • The Spring of the Leaf
    June 30, 2020
    When I was working on the rough draft of The Spring of the Leaf, I would occasionally get overwhelmed with the movements of the characters or become blocked on a particular scene.

    Try as I might, I found myself completely unable to write myself out of the most complex predicaments. Rather than staying stuck, I employed a different storytelling technique — sketching.

    Thanks to suggestions in a video featuring Neil Gaiman and a lecture by Nick Sousanis, I began sketching out my world — complete with paths marking the movements of various characters.

  • The Spring of the Leaf
    May 30, 2020
    What if there was a small group of individuals in a nearly-isolated village that still viewed the world through the lens of Alchemy & Myth?

    Moreover, what would such a world-view even look like? How might they interact with one another? Themselves? Nature?

    These are some of the questions I've been exploring while writing "The Spring of the Leaf", my second book and first foray into Magical Realism.

    Click the link or image below to begin reading with the Prologue!

    Hi Everyone,

    I've added some fresh updates to the website, along with the ability to test out the card deck / quiz system and see graphs of your results.

    As you may be able to tell, I've also been able to make some snazzy additions to the post functionality as well.

    More to come...
