I have been in communion-with a number of Fae, both visible and invisible. Their interests and natures are essentially aesthetic.

The Expanse
0ne aspect of working up a phenomenological picture of social-political events is to follow the arts. These arts change overtime, yet a core remains: we love stories. I wrote some years ago about how the archetype of the American soul was captured in the “Western” (1). Today I want to offer some remarks about the …

Reversing the Direction of Evolution
Reversing the Direction of “Evolution” Modern materialist science (all is matter, there is no spirit) posits that we once were ape-like creatures, living in vast African savannas. There are variations in the details imagined* to be involved, but for our purposes here, we only want to note the most “general idea” – the ancestors of …

They have faith that existence is something more wonderful. The idea of God, in some form, is common. This God is beneficent, perhaps all knowing and all …
