For months, I’ve been struggling with diagnostic fatigue when it comes to this blog. I realized long ago that I speak from upstream of a culture that has deliberately moved downstream and dammed itself there. Only recently did it fully land that this does not render the work pointless. It simply means the audience wasContinueContinue reading “The Retardation of Reason”

As Above, So Below: The Biblical Mirrors of the Hermetic Principles
What Jesus Actually Said vs. What People Think Is ‘Sinful’ “Thy will be done on earth, as it is in heaven.” — Matthew 6:10 This line, straight from The Lord’s Prayer—the one Jesus Himself offered as a model for how to pray—is the biblical heartbeat of the ancient Hermetic axiom: “As above, so below.” IContinueContinue reading “As Above, So Below: The Biblical Mirrors of the Hermetic Principles”
Labeled by Design: Why Today’s Youth Are Angry—and Why It’s Not Their Fault
It is almost infuriating to hear people complain about and be angry with the youth of our nation—and the world—today. This has weighed on my heart for quite some time, and I believe it’s time to change the script. Before you get defensive and begin to respond that the youth are sorry, lazy, greedy, andContinueContinue reading “Labeled by Design: Why Today’s Youth Are Angry—and Why It’s Not Their Fault”
The Two Graves: When Grace Is Misjudged as Weakness
“Before you embark on a journey of revenge, dig two graves.” I came across this quote recently in response to the tragic death of Austin Metcalf—and the quiet, grace-filled response of his father, Justin Metcalf. In the face of unimaginable loss, this man has become the target of criticism—not for what he’s done, but forContinueContinue reading “The Two Graves: When Grace Is Misjudged as Weakness”
A Psychologist’s Perspective on Mental Illness, Avoidance, and the Path to Healing
The Post That Sparked This Discussion I’ve been seeing more and more posts like this one, and frankly, it’s exhausting. The comment sections are often filled with people (rightfully) holding the individuals accountable for their behavior, but what’s missing in these discussions is any consideration for what led them here or useful correspondence. Especially ifContinueContinue reading “A Psychologist’s Perspective on Mental Illness, Avoidance, and the Path to Healing”
The Lost Art of Common Sense: Skills We Need to Reclaim
We started this series to break down the nonsensical, one-sided, imbalanced takes we see repeated over and over—ideas that make absolutely no sense yet somehow dominate mainstream conversations. These takes are almost always based on “what works for me” rather than “what works for the majority of people,” and that self-centered, shortsighted mindset is theContinueContinue reading “The Lost Art of Common Sense: Skills We Need to Reclaim”
Common Sense Series: The Epidemic of Heartlessness
There’s a viral video circulating of a woman afraid to cross a long bridge, and a cop stepping up to help her by leading her across with his vehicle. Seems like a wholesome, heartwarming moment, right? Wrong—at least according to the comment section. Instead of celebrating an act of compassion and true public service, peopleContinueContinue reading “Common Sense Series: The Epidemic of Heartlessness”
Equity vs. Equality: Navigating the Path to True Fairness
In this first topic post of our “Common Sense” series, we’ll delve deeper into the issue and misunderstanding of equity versus equality. The “woke,” liberal hive-mind mindset seems to completely misunderstand the reality of the ridiculousness of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives and how they often undermine the very concept they claim to champion—equality.ContinueContinue reading “Equity vs. Equality: Navigating the Path to True Fairness”
The Era of Common Sense: Truth, Emotional Intelligence, and Rejecting the Noise
The Twin Tree Project is dedicated to teaching and promoting truth—whether scientific, spiritual, or biblical. Just as Jesus was despised for challenging the status quo, those who strive to bring clarity to a chaotic world are often labeled as hateful, judgmental, or oppressive. Yet the Bible reminds us that speaking truth, sense, and reality willContinueContinue reading “The Era of Common Sense: Truth, Emotional Intelligence, and Rejecting the Noise”
