Already Falling in Love

The deluded among us who confound power with political position and happiness with wealth propagate a great confidence game, a colossal con, a great grift.

They believe and would have all else believe that the great succession of their material goals is real “success.” They would have you take confidence in them by way of confusing their political position or bank account with their singular being.

“Look how great I am… so much power, so much money.”

Hogcock! [Hogwash + Poppycock]

Always already they are falling away even as the loving struggle of the Great Path, the DAO, the Dharma, the Righteous Road, flows on as the Loving Struggle.

Wake up from the Great Grift of violent subjugation and get into this Loving Struggle. Divert yourself in the Hunt for true friendship and give up the meaningless diversions of win-at-all-costs.

You can do this… I know that the Great Way is within you, it is you!

BE FREE!

“When I despair, I remember that all through history
the ways of truth and love have always won.
There have been tyrants and murderers,
and for a time, they can seem invincible,
but in the end, they always fall.
Think of it–always.”

― Mahatma Gandhi

I am a PhD student in Philosophy and Religion at the University of North Texas-Denton. I began my vocation through a nine year apprenticeship with my mentor, Richard M. Owsley. I can be found around Denton troubling students and professors about this and that. A fringe scholar wandering the borderlands between the Academy and the World, I love the hell out of Socrates and Yoda while tending to act like William S. Burroughs and Jaba the Hut. My current projects include studies of the Dào Dé Jing, the intersection of Karl Jaspers’ periechontology with Tarot, and the challenge of queering existential hermeneutics.
