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”

The Cost of Awareness: The Performance of Humanity and the Weight of Feeling Too Much
Earlier today, I came across yet another post online where someone was asking, “Why are so many people laughing during this?” The context was tragic—something serious had happened, and yet, the reactions captured on video were bizarrely out of sync with the gravity of the moment. People were laughing. Filming. Spectating like it was aContinueContinue reading “The Cost of Awareness: The Performance of Humanity and the Weight of Feeling Too Much”
Authenticity Unveiled | Clarity ≠ Bitterness: A reflection on spiritual boundaries, peace, and divine wisdom.
There’s a strange thing that happens when you truly wake up—not performatively, not for appearances, and certainly not to win religious approval. I mean spiritually, from the soul outward. When your eyes open to truth and your ears finally hear what the Spirit’s been whispering all along, something shifts so completely that it changes howContinueContinue reading “Authenticity Unveiled | Clarity ≠ Bitterness: A reflection on spiritual boundaries, peace, and divine wisdom.”
Science & Spirituality | The Song Glass Will Never Know: Why Crystal Costs More
Most people don’t know the difference between glass and crystal. They look similar, come from the same basic materials, and you could set them side by side and not immediately know which is which. But the difference in price? Significant. And the reason is not what most people would guess.
The same is true about people. I have been called too sensitive my whole life. Too deep. Too much. People were never wrong that I am sensitive. They were just wrong about what that means.
Authenticity Unveiled | 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 “Authenticity Unveiled | Labeled by Design: Why Today’s Youth Are Angry—and Why It’s Not Their Fault”
Returning to True Oneness: Rebuilding Spirituality from the Ground Up
In my last post, I talked about how spirituality as a whole is undergoing a massive transformation — a death and rebirth — as the old structures of religion collapse under their own weight. As that crumbling accelerates, many people are waking up to the need for something deeper, something real. But rebuilding true spiritualContinueContinue reading “Returning to True Oneness: Rebuilding Spirituality from the Ground Up”
A Supportive Message to the Ones Rebuilding Faith Outside the Walls
A message to the ones who stayed longer than they could explain— The messages in this post are often ones we see geared toward those struggling after breakups with partners or strife in their families. While these messages may absolutely fit those situations, this post is not about personal relationships. This post is about systems.ContinueContinue reading “A Supportive Message to the Ones Rebuilding Faith Outside the Walls”
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”
The D-Word: Dodging or Discernment?
As long time readers have already noticed, for the past couple of weeks I haven’t posted much. I’m aware—even I have noticed my own silence in almost uncomfortable ways, and felt that familiar tug: “Shouldn’t I be posting something? Shouldn’t I be showing up more?” But as I shared in my last blog post (andContinueContinue reading “The D-Word: Dodging or Discernment?”
Sunday Sessions | The Rise and Rot of the “Wounded but Wise” Archetype (A Spiritual Crisis of Accountability)
A few years ago, I began to notice something unsettling. It started quietly—subtle personality shifts in spiritual communities, vague contradictions in activist spaces, increasingly defensive energy cloaked in talk of “healing” and “boundaries.” But now, it’s impossible to miss. Before we explore that idea, though, you’ll notice that the posting schedule here has gone fromContinueContinue reading “Sunday Sessions | The Rise and Rot of the “Wounded but Wise” Archetype (A Spiritual Crisis of Accountability)”
Sunday Sessions | The Ache That Was Never Depression
I actually wrote this last week—but didn’t post it. I am posting it now, late, because God wouldn’t let me keep it buried. I didn’t post it because I was afraid. Genuinely afraid. Not because I didn’t believe it was true, but because I’ve been conditioned to be afraid of my own truth. Conditioned toContinueContinue reading “Sunday Sessions | The Ache That Was Never Depression”
Authenticity Unveiled | A Continuing Discussion on Discernment: On Dependency, Communion, and Channeling
There’s a specific kind of fog that settles in when people lose their spiritual grounding but still want to sound enlightened. It gets thicker in comment sections, especially under videos like the one I recently saw of Eckhart Tolle. In the video, he’s talking about the difference between channeling and communion. And while his toneContinueContinue reading “Authenticity Unveiled | A Continuing Discussion on Discernment: On Dependency, Communion, and Channeling”
Between the Lines: Why Our Messages about Faith Clash with Both the Church and New Age Spirituality
In the many years we, the voices behind the Twin Tree Project, have spent navigating faith, we’ve come to realize something that makes people uncomfortable no matter which side of the fence they’re on: Our beliefs don’t fit neatly into any box. The foundation of our belief system is, without question, Bible-based—but our personal, nuancedContinueContinue reading “Between the Lines: Why Our Messages about Faith Clash with Both the Church and New Age Spirituality”
Science & Spirituality | The Observer at the Center: A Journey Through Cosmos and Connection
There’s a profound resonance in the idea that the “infinite universe” has no center, yet the “observable universe” pivots around the observer—you, me, each of us standing as a singular point of perception in an endless expanse. This rings true, even in a Biblical sense, if you delve deeply enough to weave it into notContinueContinue reading “Science & Spirituality | The Observer at the Center: A Journey Through Cosmos and Connection”
Authenticity Unveiled | From Rage to Refuge: The Power of Voice and Silence
This morning, I was ready to chuck my laptop out the window. Seriously—technical difficulties had me so worked up I could’ve screamed, except I was too busy wrestling with a platform that wouldn’t cooperate. I’m still shaking my head as I write this. (Side note: if you’re signed up for inbox updates, I’m so sorryContinueContinue reading “Authenticity Unveiled | From Rage to Refuge: The Power of Voice and Silence”
Authenticity Unveiled | Beyond the Surface: The Truth About Your Spiritual Presence
In the 3D reality we inhabit, image is everything. From social media profiles to first impressions, people go to great lengths to curate how they are perceived. But while appearances can be manipulated, your energy—the essence of who you are—is something that cannot be faked. It is your spiritual face card, and in both the physical andContinueContinue reading “Authenticity Unveiled | Beyond the Surface: The Truth About Your Spiritual Presence”
