A close-up of the Catalan Atlas Depicting Marco Polo The Age of Exploration | Friday – October 2, 2026 T o think that the world has gone from the vast and unending frontiers of Marco Polo and the age of exploration, empire and glory, to this homogeneous corporate landscape. Sad story indeed, but a true story indeed.      Yes, these are the facts of history that we must confront, facts that may upset us, and facts that may evoke strong emotion and sentimentalism . From the perspective of the old world, Marco Polo was a hero, but in our world, in modernity , Marco Polo is considered a villian and a monster, a monster because he discovered another part of the world, another part of the world from the point of view of Medieval Europe, read " The End of History ". Of course, this sentiment is nothing new, and is being felt when many historical persons are being considered, but it is important to understand that without Marco Polo the age of exploration would not have been poss...

Biblical ( תַּנַ״ךְ ) depiction of the flight from Sodom and Gomorrah Leaving Your Wife | Thursday – October 1, 2026 I n this installment , if you will, of this series , I have been asked by a person whether or not he should leave his wife and his family behind, in order to pursue a new life, and perhaps an alternative lifestyle. Yes, I take this letter at its word and I feel that the author of the letter really is struggling here, and I suppose as well that the letter concerns a rather sensitive topic within the Catholic community. Yes, should you be able to divorce your wife, if you are a catholic? Now, before I can proceed to answer any of these questions, allow me to make it perfectly clear that I am not someone who is qualified enough to provide any definitive answers about questions like this, and really, above all I believe that you must seek some kind of contact with your clergy, but still I am delighted to be able to provide some advice .     Now, as I typically do ...

Yahweh in (יהוה‎) : Moses and the Burning Bush Notes about Myself | Wednesday – September 30, 2026 I do not have a policy and I do not believe in having a policy. Eh well, I do have some policies regarding my conduct on this page, this blog really, but those policies are really soft law, soft rules , and sometimes I may not always follow them. Am I not a great hypocrite? I suppose that I am, but are we all not hypocrites at the end of the day?     Now, in previous posts I have attempted to make it clear that it is my purpose to not reveal too much information about myself, as this information will most likely serve to create confusion and a certain amount of awareness that will contribute to bias whenever someone should read my posts. Of course, it is also my intention to not engage in vapid individualism and vanity, for I do not believe that I am important in almost any way, at least not in regards to this blog and to my overall mission, read " Dreaming " and my " ...

Photograph of the Atlas globe The State of Radio | Tuesday – September 29, 2026 R adio is a topic that I have covered in the past, read more here , and I have been forced again to consider the rather sad state of radio, because today all the young people are obsessed with technology that is instant and relies on the destruction of history, the destruction of any reference point. To me, radio is the most important technology there is, because it enables man to communicate across a certain distance without the need for a third party, a middle man, and yes, you might say that when we tune the radio that we instead rely on the medium of propagation, and while this is true, let us consider the fact that the medium of propagation does not attempt to manipulate us, it does not attempt to sell us ads, and it does not require any kind of malign algorithm, for the medium of propagation depends entirely on circumstances still beyond the range of man's abilities. This is why radio should reall...

Hindu ( ॐ ) depiction of Vishnu ( विष्णु ) and Lakshmi ( लक्ष्मी ) on Shesha ( शेष ) over the cosmic ocean ( क्षीरसागर ) Sailing the High Seas | Monday – September 28, 2026 S ailing the High Seas can surely seem quite romantic , and this is because sailing the high seas is romantic and an experience to treasure, as long as you can, because we may nor be surprised when our supposed "freedom of movement" becomes restricted across seven seas. But I am not merely a dreamer dreaming my life away here, read " Dreaming ", but I believe that I can say that sailing the high seas would be an achievement for any man, but also not something to boast loudly about, loudly like a ferocious baboon. Yes, if you want to experience freedom , then you must sail the high seas, for  this is the last frontier not yet disturbed by humanity and secular law , read " The Problem of Border ". Yes, you may drop your monocle, but you may not use your surprise and an excuse, for you kno...

Creation of Light ( אוֹר ) By Gustave Doré Genesis, Chapter 14 | Sunday – September 27, 2026 E h well, I am ahead of my time I see, for I am supposedly writing this on the Sunday, but this is also not true. I may publish this well ahead of time, and in this case, yes I am writing most of this about two days ahead of the date in the title, but this is my working process and for now I believe that it is important for me to keep up this current pace, of being two days ahead, as it provides me with a certain amount of relaxation, and besides, it does take a while to research and write these posts, especially posts that belong to this series, the " Bible Study series ". But I do still enjoy writing these posts, but as I have alluded to in many of my previous posts: I am undergoing a change in my personal life at the moment, and there may come a time when I will simply find the need to take a break from this particular study, because these things happen, and besides, there is no ti...

Deep Green By Eugene Golovesov Nature | Saturday – September 26, 2026 N ature, read " How to Interact with Nature? ", is something that is missing in the world today, although it is not entirely true to say that either; instead nature is missing in action. Yes, nature is still out there, but people are more and more distant from nature, which in and of itself is quite abnormal. Instead, man has attempted to liberate himself form the organic rhythms of nature, by creating concepts such as time and laws , in order to live by the cycles of materialism , and these cycles have instead of actually liberating man imprisoned him, and today this is simply modernity, or what one can refer to as modernity in the colloquial sense . Really, this is a monster if anything, and it seems that on occasion a lot of people realize this, but then they move on with their lives and with their addictions , read " Frugality ", and so they never truly reach a resolution, and indeed few thin...

Biblical ( תַּנַ״ךְ ) depiction of the flight from Sodom and Gomorrah To Wrestle With God | Friday – September 25, 2026 I believe that it is true to say that men that actually know how to view the world also very much find the need to struggle with God , and so this is why I have decided to answer one of my reader's questions about this, but more on that in a moment.     This post is a part of my " Answering Readers series ", and since I am running shorter and shorter on letters that you, the readers of this blog , have sent me, I would hope that you could continue to keep sending me letters, or else this series may just fade away... Again, I would prefer that you send your letters to me through the "contact form" attached to this page; this is mostly a defence against bots, since bots, generally at any rate, do not know how to send strings containing letters that make up useful and meaningful information through that contact form. You may send me an email on ...
