“You arrogant, egocentric megalomaniac.
Does the system work for the 80 million children that die of hunger every year? Does it work for the war torn middle east? Does it work for africa, which has had nothing but genocide and rape for hundreds of years? Does it work for the 1 in 3 children that go hungry in WASHINGTON DC, the capital of the so called ‘Free World’?

Uncovering the Wall Street Protest
So there’s a HUGE protest going on in New York City. Did you know that? It’s in it’s second week, and has gotten incredibly little to no news coverage on American mainstream media. I first learned about it through word of mouth, and even then I had to go to a British news site to learn anything about it. Since then a friend of mine also linked me to a Facebook page that is...

"Reasonable Doubt"
“Reasonable doubt”. It’s a phrase most are familiar with in regards to the criminal justice system. It started with early British Christians who were wary of taking judgement upon another person- something which they felt was only God’s place to do so. By the 1780’s it became a standard beyond which all guilty convictions must be held- something the American justice system...

The Reason for Dissent
There have always been problems in our society, and nobody disagrees with that. Over time, these problems have remained relatively the same for a good 80-90 years. Of course, we’ve done great things over that period of time as well. I don’t think that as a species we’ll ever stop doing amazing things unless we are destroyed by nature or ourselves. What makes me (and others...

A Contemplative Note About The Universe- and Trees
Ever think about just how ridiculously complex and complicated everything is just to exist? I had a profound moment today where I considered the depth to every conceivable thing, and it was honestly somewhat overwhelming. There is absolutely nothing that is simple, and everything that seems to be only seems that way becasue of other complicated processes making it possible.
Allow me to...

Physiomonistic Pantheism: Understanding Awareness
I do not believe in “God” as a sentient, omnipotent, or omniscient being- in fact I don’t believe in ‘God’ as a ‘being’ at all. I believe that the Universe (Existence) is infinitely vast and intricate. Through studying the patterns in nature, I am fairly certain that Existence operates on what some call “organized chaos”; the universe...

Why the U.S. Government probably lied about Osama...
When people hear “conspiracy”, they normally think of shadow governments, impossibly complex plots, Illuminati, or Matt Damon. The word is associated with a stigma of irrational thoughts and paranoia that generally makes a lot of people automatically shut down whenever they start to hear anything even resembling the concept. I can’t say that I blame them....

"The Seed"
Put a seed up to your ear. Listen to it’s infantile cries and spare it from it’s struggles. Wings flap with buzzing speed carrying a black mass with red eyes to watch from a wall with a trunk that suckles grit from silver stone it’s views compounded visions that repeat forever. Light through glass refracting and reflecting an engine of distraction to your turbine of chaos. The...

"Transmortem Existentia"
On my way out of the great black forest.
The trees finally thin.
I wrestle through the tendrils
that try to keep me in.
I see one last beautiful tree
before I finally leave.
The world is quickly strange.
Plants spring from places which they should not.
Size and proportion become everything else
And then it starts. I see within myself
I feel the colors melt and twist, bleeding a beautiful...
