Duality of Everything

Everyone has their own share of burdens that they have to bear as part of their existence. My burden is the patterns I see and observe, from the minute day to day to the realities of the universe. I cannot stop them, I cannot unsee them, I cannot avoid them.

Here are a few that I have observed, on a random basis.

Life

I have spent quite a few years of life, more than I would like to admit, exploring things around existence. Solo trips, psychedelics, ashrams for weeks, living completely alone, and more.

The clarity that I have from that period is something that I am truly proud of. I have spent countless hours on almost all the major questions. I have done many years of menial work in my life — as a driver, a dishwasher, cleaning toilets, mopping floors — and the privilege that time gave me was of thinking. My mind was so free to think, and boy, have I thought.

That period is what I attribute a lot of my clarity of thinking to, because I have debated every idea and every angle so in depth that the positions I have on things have a strong foundation.
