Where should I start?

Well, there's not too much going on here at the moment because I'm writing a book! But for you first-timers, start below, and then maybe my Zine. After that, you'll find my essays and other miscellaneous writings in the Portal section. With a few essays under your belt, you might also be interested in some book recommendations which can be found on the Bookshelf.

What's your game?

We're in for a bumpy ride, industrial civilisation is failing, the story of mechanical progress is losing followers, a new story is being written. Consciousness is primary, we're all magicians, most of us are magicians in denial, self-realisation fuels collective conscious evolution. Life is beautiful, girls are pretty, sex is awesome, original sin is the original lie. The cosmos is alive, our machines grew from our sentience, but look through machine eyes for too long, and you'll turn into Richard Dawkins.

I'm introverted, intuitive, sensitive, not too tall, and well-built with short blonde/brown hair, green/blue eyes and two piercings (nose and nipple.) I score INFJ on Myers-Briggs. I'm usually happy, curious, good at reading people, easily bored with small-talk, minimalistic, easily pleased, well organised, calm, constantly pondering, single and well self-disciplined. I'm currently writing a book. I'm a seeker! Or a mystic, depending on which sounds cooler at the time. I'm still living at home in a big ugly housing estate, and I work easy temp jobs when I need money. I have 3 useless A levels, I'm not going to Uni, I have no debt, I have savings, I don't drive, and I have a Specialized push-bike that I ride everywhere. Some of my influences in writing and thinking are people like Daniel Quinn, Barbara Marx Hubbard, Terence McKenna, Derrick Jensen, Robert Anton Wilson, Tim Leary, Ran Prieur, Carl Jung, Aldous Huxley, Philip K Dick, Rupert Sheldrake, Bruce Lipton, and Wilhelm Reich.

I read a lot, write a lot, ride a lot, train in Ninpo Tai-Jutsu, and have interests in, amongst other things: psychology, mysticism, paranormal, meditation, pranayama, massage, bodywork, psychedelics, anthropology, hedonism, permaculture, dreams, the occult, willed brain-change, and elegant simplicity. I eat well and exercise plenty. I eat a high fat diet of nutrient dense foods, based on WAPF advice. My staples are sourdough bread, oatmeal soaked overnight with raisins, good quality eggs, good tinned or homemade soup, lots of butter, unpasteurised cheese, fermented veggies, mixed stir frys with all kind of sauces, and good quality meat when I can afford it. Basically how healthy communities ate for thousands of years until people started eating themselves to death with vegetable oils, neurotoxins, white flour, and refined sugar.

All my work is freely available online and I won't be charging for it anytime soon. I won't pretend I desperately need money at the moment because I don't, but if you'd like to donate, I'd really appreciate that as a helping hand and as something to show for my writings. You can mail me before donating if you want to chat about it.
