The Almighty Ohm

This case study outlines a self-guided protocol that led to the remission of Hidradenitis Suppurativa and broader signs of systemic inflammation. Through mast cell stabilization using a rhythm of H1 and H2 antihistamines, mitochondrial support via low-dose methylene blue, and targeted electrolyte and lifestyle adjustments, the author experienced rapid reductions in swelling, improved energy, skin...

I’m dyslexic, and I’ve built a way to learn, read, and integrate information faster and deeper than almost anyone. It’s not fake speed reading—it’s total engagement, a polymodal system I stumbled into while solving my own problems. I call it my protocol, and it’s how I turned a thrift-store find—some book by Alan Paivio on dual-coding—into a blueprint for rewiring my brain. Here’s how it works, st...

In the 1980s, I was one of three kids chosen to learn coding on a prototype computer in Ontario. It was supposed to change our future—but it didn’t. Not because we lacked potential, but because no one had taught us how to think first. This is a story about why technology alone can't save education. Why screens can't replace structure. And why before we teach kids to code, we need to teach them how...

What if the words we use every day still carry the weight of our ancestors' hopes, rituals, and wisdom? In this thought-provoking talk, we explore Modern Philology—not as academic study, but as a living practice of listening, discerning, and reconnecting with the deeper meanings beneath language. From ancient Hebrew prayers to sumo wrestling chants, from Buddhist cushions to battlefield banners, t...

This meditative essay weaves together non-dual Śaivism, modern trauma healing, Jungian depth psychology, and Nietzschean authenticity. It explores Spanda—the sacred vibration—not only as a spiritual principle but as a somatic and emotional rhythm disrupted and reclaimed through devotion. Rooted in both ancient insight and modern embodiment, this is a living path of syncretism where the mystical me...

In an age where reality is algorithmic and meaning dissolves into memes, what does it mean to be sincere? This episode is a poetic invocation, a philosophical reckoning, and a metamodern myth. We trace the death of the real, the rise of simulation, and the quiet birth of the SupraReal—a sacred space beyond irony, where meaning is chosen, not inherited. Step into the in-between. Compost the hyperre...

In an age where we seek transcendence in circuits and salvation in algorithms, this manifesto reclaims the soul from the shadow of the screen. Drawing from Marshall McLuhan’s vision of digital communion and reinterpreting it for a world in crisis, this work argues that the machine cannot offer divinity—only reflection. What we find in our technologies is not a god, but ourselves: fractured, forgot...

A powerful spoken word performance drawn from the French verses of O Canada, this piece reclaims the national anthem as a sacred text—a mirror, a memory, and a mandate. With reverence and raw truth, it weaves history, heritage, and hope into a living call to unity. In a time of division and disillusionment, "Tempered by Faith" reminds Canadians that strength is forged through sacrifice, that coura...

A deep, reflective journey through the French verses of O Canada, revealing each line as more than lyrics—but as timeless medicine for a fractured nation. This is a line-by-line exploration that unearths the moral backbone, spiritual resilience, and emotional intelligence woven into our national hymn. In a time when many feel disconnected, this piece reminds us that our anthem holds a hidden map:...

my thoughts on why learning is so important, and why we face the consequences for not learning, teaching, thinking.....

Dive into a fiery take on John Taylor Gatto’s Dumbing Us Down, where surveillance and networks cage our freedom and connection. This isn’t just a lament—it’s a call to fight back. Rebellion is any jab against the system: a dodged tracker, a free thought. Tribalism is the heart, the trust that binds us beyond cold algorithms. In 2.5 minutes, explore why we’re built for defiance and bonds—and why th...

What do anxious kids, an autistic accountant, and Helen Keller have in common? They’re all clues to why society’s dropping the ball on teaching us to think—and be whole. In this episode, I unpack Jonathan Haidt’s phone flop, the hidden genius of The Accountant, and my own dyslexic journey to argue one thing: we’re not broken, we’re just taught wrong. From audiobooks to free-range kids, there’s a m...

In this powerful launch episode of Dharma Sattva, I share the core of my work: a new way of understanding suffering, healing, and learning in a world inflamed—literally and spiritually. I introduce the idea of Psychological Systemic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (P-SIRS) and the mitochondrial-inflammatory-immune axis, showing how stress, trauma, and disconnection affect not just our minds, but ou...

This is not therapy as you've heard it before. This is a journey—through trauma, memory, and the slow awakening of the self. These seven stages aren't linear steps or clinical checklists. They are living movements, drawn from ancient wisdom and modern insight, designed to help us learn the first and greatest commandment we were never taught: how to love ourselves well. We begin in survival, but we...

In this episode, we dive deep into what might be the most overlooked truth in all of spiritual practice: you must be taught how to love yourself. Augustine got it wrong. So did many traditions that assume self-love is innate or automatic. I argue the opposite—self-love is a discipline, a mystery, and a prerequisite for any true love of God or neighbor. From the Shema to the Upanishads, from trauma...

This spoken word offering is for the ones who feel too much, think too deeply, and carry pain that modern healing can’t touch. It’s a call to remember what you already know beneath the symptoms, confusion, and noise. Drawing on the raw depth of Nietzsche, the quiet flame of Frankl, and the steady breath of Buddhist wisdom, this is not a prescription—it’s a path. For those who are done performing h...

When therapy’s priced out of reach and screens wreck our sleep, one thinker digs in—self-taught, hands-on, and hell-bent on real solutions. From $50 blue light glasses that actually work to a $50 red light rig built in a garage, this is the story of chasing health over hype. Blending economics, science, and DIY grit, it’s not about cashing in—it’s about fixing what’s broken, for everyone.

For most of my life, I was told I was a high-functioning dyslexic. The reality? I was one of the most extreme cases of dyslexia—functionally illiterate in a world that increasingly relied on digital text. When the world went digital, I got left behind. But over the past few years, I’ve uncovered something revolutionary: Audiobooks aren’t just a tool for accessibility—they’re a way out, not just fo...

This essay delves into the symbolic significance of the ranks of Ōzeki and Yokozuna in sumo, interpreting them as archetypes of human growth, transformation, and transcendence. Through a philological analysis of the kanji characters for these ranks, the essay explores the Ōzeki as the liminal warrior standing at the threshold of potential, and the Yokozuna as the embodiment of perfected unity, str...

Meaning is found, earned, evaluated. Meaning cannot be given or taken from someone or somewhere.

A raw reflection on race, trauma, and the human shadow, weaving personal stories—like being a second-class citizen and watching my wife’s shock at the same—with a sharp take on Peterson and Vervaeke’s ego-driven "vertical dimension." Through Nietzsche’s defiance and Jung’s archetypes, the imitatio Christi becomes a lens for self-discovery, but so does doing the dishes. The real path isn’t some lof...

Is reincarnation really a cornerstone of Buddhism, or just another illusion we cling to? In this episode, I unpack the Buddha’s silent lesson with a picked flower—beautiful, dying, and full of truth. From the Flower Sermon to Patanjali’s reset button and Tibetan rebirth vibes, we explore why obsessing over “what’s next” might miss the point entirely. Join me as we dig into impermanence, suffering,...

What if the real story isn’t the 65% who shocked a stranger in Milgram’s lab or the 90% who took Sweden’s pension nudge? Dive into the overlooked 15-20%—the rebels who said no to authority, no to the script, and no to the herd. From lab coats to algorithms, we’ve built a world to herd the majority, but it’s the defiant minority who carve the way forward. X users in 2024 proved it, tanking an ad ro...

What if your stress, fatigue, brain fog, or chronic pain wasn’t just “in your head” but part of a hidden epidemic linking trauma and inflammation? In this episode, we uncover the deep connection between emotional trauma and immune dysfunction, exploring how stress, cortisol, and inflammation fuel each other—often leading to autoimmune issues, skin conditions, gut problems, and chronic fatigue. But...

Picture Job—skin ravaged, faith gone, powerless. That was me: uranium kid with a TBI, HS abscesses the size of softballs, allergies to everything, and doctors who laughed at my cures. Ten years of invisible hell, I fought back with mint tea, rupatadine, and a keto twist nobody saw coming. This is resilience against neglect—my story, my protocol, my middle finger to a system that failed. Want to kn...
