Your Spiritual Bypassing Ends Here

In this full chapter-by-chapter breakdown of "Spiritual Enlightenment: The Damnedest Thing" by Jed McKenna, we walk through all sections—each one another strike against belief, bliss, morality, purpose, and even the idea of self itself. From the “big fat goose egg” of enlightenment to the uncherished sword, from mocking gurus to the blunt finale of “why not,” this journey doesn’t hand out easy answers. It strips you bare, drags you through paradox, absurdity, and silence, and leaves you standing...

All You Ever Wanted to Know

What if your dreams aren’t dreams, but real excursions into an invisible world?

Leadbeater doesn’t ask you to believe. He dares you to see for yourself. Whether you’re a seeker, a skeptic, or someone who’s had that one dream you can’t shake—this v...

How to Bend the Universe (And Why You Were Never Taught This)

Dostoyevsky’s Most Terrifying Book

This journey into the unsettling depths of Notes from Underground challenges the notion that humans can ever be tamed by rational self-interest. Together we confront a resentful protagonist, a mocking of utopian dreams, and the fierce assertion that people will sabotage themselves just to feel truly free. It is a brazen rejection of the idea that we can be calculated into perfection. Dostoyevsky’s masterpiece reminds us that, even when given bliss and perfect logic, we often crave chaos and suff...
