Knowledge is Survival
Knowledge is indeed power, not because we acquire ability from knowledge, but because we apply ability to experience. We all have a transferable ability to understand cause and effect, sequences and systems, and this ability works the same no matter what it’s applied to. Isn’t this sort of a wonder in and of itself?

Knowledge is Emergent
Where does luck factor into metaphysical law? Luck in the original sense was a personal trait as the Norse understood it. A way the world behaved around you because of the way you were, the person you are. That is the original concept behind luck. It had nothing to do with randomness originally. So luck…

A Disposition of One’s Awareness
Reality is an agreement? Well, in a sense yes. And in fact surface reality is indeed an agreement, but there is a reality underneath the one people interact in, beneath “real life” and the human psychodrama that plays out in it. We connect with each other for the same reason nature maintains a balance, an…

What if Kindness is a State of Being?
So can we really define kindness as a resource? I feel awkward requesting kindness too. Why do we feel that? Like we don’t want charity. We feel awkward requesting kindness, because we know that anything other than kindness is a sign of disease, unease, imbalance. It’s implicitly wrong. Good deeds done to you can lack kindness…
