Anarchy as a Metaphysical and Existential Philosophy (NOT a Political Philosophy)

June 5, 2020September 8, 2020 / The Enlightened Mind / Leave a comment

The anarchy is not innately a political ideology, but a metaphysical and existential philosophy with political and social implications. It describes the inescapable, ever effectual, natural state of human social systems.

Your Life is Your Story

May 23, 2020May 23, 2020 / The Enlightened Mind / Leave a comment

I had watched a video this morning by Like Stories of Old (LSOO) on some differences between stories and reality, titled Your Life is Not a Hero's Journey. LSOO is an amazing channel with wonderfully insightful analyses of the significances of modern stories, particularly those in cinema, and their relations to ancient mythological themes and … Continue reading Your Life is Your Story

Pandemic Response: What do We, Can We Save?

"Recovering economically will be a matter of work and time, but recovering physically or emotionally from suffering caused by the virus is not at all guaranteed"

The Difference between Reality and Existence

April 10, 2020 / The Enlightened Mind / 5 Comments

Why or how does anything exist at all? It's already a tricky question to come up with an answer for, but this particular question may also not have any certain answer, at least as far as we can tell. If everything in existence was made by something else that is greater, then how did this … Continue reading The Difference between Reality and Existence

Persons are Not People

March 25, 2020 / The Enlightened Mind / Leave a comment

Among all the talk of self-realization and the fulfillment of the individuation process, no one really mentions that it's incredibly odd feeling whole. Assuming that at one time you were incomplete, fractured, and deluded towards your own state of being, and that you were able to reconcile the damage you felt towards yourself and reintegrate … Continue reading Persons are Not People

The construct of citizenship is a hardship that is faced by humanity in the shadow of the political economy and this new economic reality.

Preparation for Death and Dying

February 7, 2020 / The Enlightened Mind / Leave a comment

I write on death to express some feelings about my life that I feel are atypical and unconventional, yet insightful. This ties into my philosophy of sanity and the compulsion to be "in" rather than "out", but I don’t explicitly mean to talk about mental states here. Just about my own, in fact. I love … Continue reading Preparation for Death and Dying

The ONLY Working Society

February 4, 2020 / The Enlightened Mind / 1 Comment

A governmental system continually producing regulatory legislation on the basis of "freedom for all" is a deeply confused thing.

Humanity #5: Moral Counter-Balances

January 31, 2020 / The Enlightened Mind / Leave a comment

Why do those concerned primarily with material things spend so much time and effort on thoughts and understandings? Why do those who seem most concerned about having the right state of mind or ethical philosophy get so involved and invested in material things? People to me have always seemed backwards. They often say and do … Continue reading Humanity #5: Moral Counter-Balances

How do We Understand Life? A Cure to Suffering

January 27, 2020 / The Enlightened Mind / 6 Comments

Life is like a flame that burns on a wick. If it burns too strongly, it could destroy itself in a flash, but if it doesn't burn strongly enough, only the faintest puff of breath is needed to blow it out completely.
