I came across a post on X today that deeply resonated with me. It perfectly articulated something I’ve been reflecting on (and sharing with you, from other perspectives) a lot lately—how once we awaken, grow, or “level up,” we often feel like we no longer fit in. But the truth is, we aren’t meant toContinueContinue reading “Walking in Integrity: Why You Were Called to Stand Out”

Broken, But Not Destroyed: What Every Sacred Text Says About Suffering
There comes a point where suffering isn’t just something you go through—it becomes you. Where life strips away everything you thought you were, everything you thought you had, and leaves you standing in the wreckage, wondering if you were ever real to begin with. And what then? What do you do when you aren’t justContinueContinue reading “Broken, But Not Destroyed: What Every Sacred Text Says About Suffering”
Sunday Sessions: It’s a Beautiful Day
There’s a song I think we’ve all heard at least once in passing, whether on social media, in reels, or shorts: “Lord, thank you for sunshine, thank you for rain. Thank you for joy, thank you for pain. It’s a beautiful day. It’s a beautiful day.” I haven’t been on social media much lately. TheContinueContinue reading “Sunday Sessions: It’s a Beautiful Day”
Sunday Sessions: Blame It on the Moon
Spirit was on one this morning. I kept running into sign after sign, message after message, all tying into the moon—not just its quiet beauty in the night sky, but its deep, undeniable influence on the world. During breaks from working on some big projects around the house (which completely knocked the energy out ofContinueContinue reading “Sunday Sessions: Blame It on the Moon”
Accountability & Motivation: The Internal vs. External Battle
Accountability is often seen as something external—rules, expectations, or authority figures keeping us in line. But real accountability, the kind that leads to lasting change, isn’t about fear of consequences or the need to meet someone else’s standards. It’s about self-responsibility. It’s about deciding, for yourself, that your choices matter, that your actions shape yourContinueContinue reading “Accountability & Motivation: The Internal vs. External Battle”
The Standard of Self-Respect: Why It Begins With You
Sometimes it’s not that someone is disrespecting you, but they are treating you in a way they wouldn’t treat someone they respect. (Jared Mello) Read that again. At first glance, this quote is about how people treat us—how they reveal their level of respect (or lack thereof) through their actions. But if we stop there,ContinueContinue reading “The Standard of Self-Respect: Why It Begins With You”
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”
Wrap-Up: Connecting the Cognitive Theoretical Model (CTMU) to the Broader 2025 Vision
As we conclude this series on the Cognitive-Theoretic Model of the Universe (CTMU), it’s clear that this framework is more than a theory—it’s a paradigm shift. The CTMU redefines our understanding of reality, uniting science, philosophy, and spirituality into a single, coherent model. Over the past weeks, we’ve explored its foundational principles, from interconnectivity andContinueContinue reading “Wrap-Up: Connecting the Cognitive Theoretical Model (CTMU) to the Broader 2025 Vision”
The Cognitive Theoretical Model’s (CTMU’s) Philosophical Implications for Everyday Life
The Cognitive-Theoretic Model of the Universe (CTMU) offers a framework for understanding reality that goes far beyond abstract theory. At its core, the CTMU provides a profound philosophical lens through which we can view ourselves, our relationships, and the world around us. By framing reality as a unified, self-referential system, the CTMU challenges us toContinueContinue reading “The Cognitive Theoretical Model’s (CTMU’s) Philosophical Implications for Everyday Life”
The Virtue of Temperance: A Path to Balance and Freedom
Temperance is one of the oldest virtues known to humanity, and it remains as relevant today as it was in ancient times. Historically, temperance has been associated with combating the sin of gluttony—not just in terms of physical indulgence, but also in how we allow ourselves to be consumed by excessive desires or passions. MoreContinueContinue reading “The Virtue of Temperance: A Path to Balance and Freedom”
