AboutI fancy the big picture. I like exact generalizations. I wonder what it all means. I make up my own meanings. I test them out. I’m not afraid of learning. I adapt. I fail. I create. I’m looking for company. I’ve taught physics, philosophy, and other subjects in Waldorf high schools across the American West, using super-skillz gleaned from my bachelor’s degree in philosophy from Colorado College (thesis on Whitehead and quantum mechanics) and master’s degree in consciousness studies from John F. Kennedy University (thesis entitled “The Elements as an Archetype of Transformation: An Exploration of Earth, Water, Air, and Fire,”). My education has taught me that it is just as important to explore how we think as what we think. Thus, I’m currently writing a PhD dissertation in the nascent (academic) field of transformative studies at CIIS, in which I address connections between spiritual science and cybernetic epistemology. The current working title is “Towards an Aesthetic Epistemology: Transforming Thinking through Anthroposophy and Cybernetic Epistemology”. I do freelance web and print design for food as sole proprietor of Spirit Alchemy Design. My research interests include: Anthroposophy, alchemy, cybernetics, transformation, archetypes, spirituality, science, consciousness, transdisciplinarity, philosophy and much more. Contact me!…

With a fundamental distinction between dream forms and dream content, this essay examines four levels of dreaming, each one associated with a particular set of relationships between the physical, etheric, astral, and Ego. The transition of consciousness between different states is shown to give rise to the phenomenon of “projection”, which consequently provides opportunities for soul-work. The relations are described with an eye towards those interested in gaining a deeper relationship to their dream life, and in particular to those involved in spiritual development. The Art of Nature: Alchemy, Goethe, and a New Aesthetic Consciousness Summary: This essay explores the building of a new aesthetic consciousness, working out of insights from alchemy, into a new aesthetic method of observing brought forth by Goethe, and ending with a brief mention of the way this stream was taken further with the works of Rudolf Steiner. I present an evocative picture of the development of this new…

Thinking Through Infinity with Projective Geometry

Consciousness, Geometry

I’d like to offer something from the realm of projective geometry, with respect to infinity, that is (believe it or not) very practical. I have found that projective geometry offers something that is frankly unparalleled: a way to think towards infinity which is, at every step, clear and exact, brooks no nonsense, and is communicable and hygienic…

Since we are meaning-making creatures, any theory of meaning we concoct must be a tacit theory about who we are.
