What a thing, this journey of bearing witness to what(ever) is, that finds you here, upon this page, in this moment where — amidst much inversion, obfuscation, presumption, deception, distraction, lies, false 'prophets' and more — it can feel challenging knowing what is true these days, let alone who or what to trust...
As such, below is merely an earnest sharing of highlights and punchlines of the past many years of inquiry and contemplation, amidst my sojourn of striving to make sense of this realm through which we are passing...
Take everything with a grain of salt (indeed, hold everything lightly these days), and if you see any mistakes / edits, or have some content to share,
let me know as this most certainly is a work-in-progress; as a general rule, too, rely on your own navigation system, based simply on what makes sense to you, upon good faith consideration and contemplation... seeing for yourself is what enables you to stand on your own ground...

A suggestion is to start at the beginning... and to keep it near...
... striving to keep it as simple as possible...
... because truth is simple...
What does it mean to be born as a living, sentient, moral being in this realm?
What are unalienable rights?
What is free will?
What did the Declaration of Independence and Constitution of 1787 set in motion?
What is the
united (and
United)
States of America (and our relationships to them)?
What does it mean to be in
honor/dishonor?
Who do you think
you are?
A journey (revealing, unfolding, unfurling, emerging, creating...), indeed...

Thomas Jefferson to John Taylor
May 28, 1816
"And I sincerely believe with you that banking establishments are more dangerous than standing armies; and that the principle of spending money to be paid by posterity, under the name of funding, is but swindling futurity on a large scale."
