a self-declared cyborg doing cyborg stuff
The ‘Soulcruzer’ podcast (more of an audioblog, really).
Expect a blend of mysticism and music, psyche and soul, everyday wisdom, and the esoteric. One day, I might be waxing lyrical about Nietzsche’s eternal return, and the next, uncovering the wisdom of the tarot. It’s all up for grabs on this pod.
So, if first-person confessional style podcasts are your jam, subscribe to mine wherever you get your podcasts. I’m on all of the major platforms.
Q: what is it about me that i can’t keep my virtual hands off of creativity, love, mysticism, and misfit ontology?
We all have an inner world—a landscape filled with our experiences, thoughts, feelings, struggles, dreams, and all the drama that makes up our lives. Yet so often, this rich internal space remains terra incognita, even to ourselves. We may only vaguely sense the outlines of our inner truths without fully...
The ancient Taoist text, the Tao Te Ching, speaks of a state called Wu Wei, typically translated as “non-action” or “non-doing.” But this is misleading. Wu Wei does not refer to literally doing nothing or simply being lazy and passive. Rather, it describes a state of alignment with the cosmic...

Our thoughts form the foundation of our inner world, the vast, luminous landscape of private experience.

I recently went on a series of shamanic journeys to find and connect with my spirit animal. On the first journey, I met a leopard, but it turns out the leopard was there to guide me to my spirit animal, which it turns out is the wolf. The following is...
I stumbled across the best metaphor to describe living in the present moment. It’s from the book The Tao of Daily Life by Derek Lin.
The words we use to describe our lives have an uncanny way of shaping our reality. The stories we tell ourselves and the language we use to frame our circumstances dictate how we perceive and interact with the world around us. As the linguist Benjamin Lee Whorf hypothesised, the very...
The power of solitude is indeed great and beyond our full comprehension. When we retreat into the quiet sanctuary of solitude, we open ourselves up to profound insights and revelations from within. In the stillness, when the chatter of the external world fades, our inner voice emerges to provide clarity....
I’ve recently reconnected with creating mandalas. Over the past couple of days, I made this mandala and spent time contemplating its meaning. Through intuition, I received an insightful message from my inner wisdom.
Shamanism, one of the most ancient spiritual practices known to humanity, traces its roots back to the earliest civilizations, where it was integral to the fabric of daily life.
