The Retardation of Reason

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 Weight of an Apology: Why Words Alone Aren’t Enough

Can an Apology Fix What is Broken? This is a question that many of us have asked ourselves at some point in our lives—whether in relationships, friendships, family conflicts, or professional settings. Can an apology alone truly fix what has been broken? The short answer is no. An apology in itself is not a magicalContinueContinue reading “The Weight of an Apology: Why Words Alone Aren’t Enough”

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”

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”

Information Theory as the Foundation of CTMU

At the heart of the Cognitive-Theoretic Model of the Universe (CTMU) lies the concept of information. In this framework, information isn’t merely an abstract idea or a tool for communication—it’s the fundamental building block of reality itself. Building on the foundation set in the previous post, The Role of Logic and Language in CTMU, whichContinueContinue reading “Information Theory as the Foundation of CTMU”

The Role of Logic and Language in CTMU

At the foundation of the Cognitive-Theoretic Model of the Universe (CTMU) are two key tools that allow us to explore and understand the connection between cognition and the universe: logic and language. Building on our previous exploration of how the mind works and processes cognition, this post delves deeper into the mechanisms that enable thatContinueContinue reading “The Role of Logic and Language in CTMU”

The Purpose of CTMU: Bridging Cognition and the Universe

The Cognitive-Theoretic Model of the Universe (CTMU) presents a bold idea: cognition and the universe are not separate, unrelated entities. Instead, they are deeply interconnected, two facets of the same underlying process. This connection lies at the heart of the CTMU and represents its most profound purpose—to bridge the gap between how we think andContinueContinue reading “The Purpose of CTMU: Bridging Cognition and the Universe”

Understanding CTMU: The Foundation of Our Exploration

One of the bigger projects we are focusing on here at Twin Tree Project in 2025 is breaking down and understanding the Cognitive-Theoretic Model of the Universe (CTMU) in detail. If you’ve been following this blog, you know that our mission is to explore the deep interconnections between spirituality, science, philosophy, and human cognition.
