An eclectic & syncretic exploration of one's own path
Welcome to a garden of study and reflection, connecting and concocting, that traces the lived interspace between spirituality and philosophy, mysticism and animism, metaphysics and existentialism.
The approach
These are public study notes, messy and unfinished, documenting my ever-evolving discovery, exploration and practice of life and meta-life.
I write to myself: What I need to hear, remember, learn and practice.
I expect to contradict myself and swim in inconsistencies as my thinking shifts this way and that. You can expect lame puns that only I will laugh at. 🤣
The format
Pithisms
Not-quite-aphorisms. Five-second insights, intuitively received that way, thus delivered that way. Frequently lacking context, but may sprout postscripts.
Articlishes
As in article-ish. Paintings of text. More right brain than left. Descriptions, contemplations, connections, questions. Drafts of thinking out loud.
The writer
I have been many (little) things throughout my life, but I find myself coming full circle to the practice of nothingness. Here are some random facts about me:
- Born in Singapore, Orang Laut land. Living in Australia, on Wadawurrung land, with my beloved partner Max. ❤️
- No religion, not atheist, no adherences; heavily inspired by Buddhism, Taoism, and other mystic traditions.
- Lovechild of magic and logic; equal parts intuition and pragmatism.
- Pronouns flexible, she/her most commonly; genderfluid.
- Weather-like ambivert; at any time extravert, introvert, or both!
- Body and mind different in ways big and small, specifics no longer matter.
- Invisibly disabled; mostly up, sometimes down, always going with the flow!
- Best job ever: Ghost tour guide. Longest stint: Seven years as a coach.
- I use terms, ideas and tools loosely. Picture a macaque carrying a snowball. Don't take my words too seriously. 🤪
