I have come to an awareness that, perhaps for the first time in our country’s history, the United States has fallen to being aggressively indisposed toward its constituency. Be it by the bludgeoning of over-informing, the divisiveness of misinforming, or the profound distraction of both in the national and community commons, a somewhat corporatist, political, and  theocratic “community of common interests” now exists.  This “community of common interests” has an understanding of itself as an agent in the world; it understands and makes use of information warfare to acquire and hold hostage the intellectual promise, potential, and prowess of “we, […]

I am utterly certain that someone much more famous than I have said these things before me; but since I’m not “educated” enough to know of them, and I came to these on my own, with no help but my own experiences, I claim them as mine. With that disclaimer/preface, here is the tightest packing of “Pure Seed” concepts for getting things done that I know. My hope is it will be helpful to you. But at the very least, perhaps it will pique your curiosity enough to find the previously mentioned famous folk and get an educated take on […]

I remember my mother, in the deep of night, as I slept. A brief memory, but dense with the richness of her truth.

Seed / Egg / Life I am very much that autotelic one and it is as well that I am; my interests and fascinations are odd and blended, my delights seem woefully unattractive to others. They are enjoyed, regardless (though this seems usually to engender negative response in the world around me). The glorious exception to this, what I have known as “life’s rule”, is the sweet, soft, shining light that is my husband, J. This is, to the best of my ability to consider it, perfection in this life. So much so that all the swirling detritus and dogma […]

As the MMO genre continues to evolve in (what is now) a much more mutable industry, there are increasing signs that its stability as a genre will finally cross the threshold from closed to open persistence. The additions of data, machine, and semantic analysis are coming along in refining how well development and publishing houses can forecast (or validate) revenue, and those concepts are (albeit excruciatingly slowly) beginning to enter product design thinking.   Look for more high differentiators and innovators to push the expectation of online and offline play, choice of public or private servers, and even connected-but-disparate worlds as current themes of […]

There is a place where nothing is; all being and life extending and extruded, and spasming senses tremble for sensation that is not. A great and terrifying paradox – the ALL THAT IS NOT – within which no name can stand, no label will stick, and no boundary, be declared. It cannot fit in words, as even this contradictory paragraph deftly demonstrates. All truths are contradictory and paradoxical in the ultimate presentation. Not because that’s how they are, but because that’s how we are; stunted and blocked by our dualities, our dichotomies. All experience broken upon the fulcrum of perception, […]

Unwanted. All my life, I feel it; a weight of dull, dead eyes, not seeing me, only an obligation unwanted, an unfortunate-but-legally-binding presence upon the mind and being of another. I never wondered why. Why would I? The world was entirely certain. The normalcy of what is creates its own authority, it’s own terrible credibility. With time, it is sealed, like so much cement, into the abyss… falling, ever falling, into the quiet, dark void wherein I dwell. I float in it, you know. Always have. I did not realize even this until very recently. I just thought that everyone […]

I believe that We The People are being played. I believe that, around this globe, those in positions of leadership[1] and/or power know that there is but one thing to keep all of this speculative investment, revenue-hiding, debt kiting, usury-inciting, offshore-work exploiting, offshore-bank-account-infusing group of REPRESENTATIVES AND TRUSTEES proceeding (sometimes quite literally) full speed ahead: War. I believe that many United States government representatives have so greatly abused their position and power that they, themselves, are at long last fearful of repercussion. I believe that none of this is “conspiracy” so much as the infamous, ignoble, and illegal confluence of […]
