Institutional Corruption: Designed on Purpose

“Institutional corruption” is often framed as a lawful drift—systems nudged off mission by incentives no one intended. I disagree. In field after field, the architecture doesn’t merely allow drift; it entrenches it.

When the Unhealed Are in Charge: A Reflection on Power Without Accountability

There is a quiet violence that happens when people in positions of authority have not reconciled their own inner chaos. They bring their wounds into the courtroom, the boardroom, the therapy session, the psychiatric hold. And because they’ve never faced the mirror, they weaponize the badge, the robe, the credentials—dragging with them the emotional baggage they’ve never dealt with and a lifetime of hardened beliefs that leave little room for listening.

Systemic Downfall: When Society Breaks the Circle

Everything is a circle.

The sacred breath of life moves in spirals, in seasons, in tides. The sun rises, sets, and rises again. Trees drop their leaves, only to bloom anew.

Reciprocity is the way of nature—what is given returns….

Our systemic structures are not failing because they are flawed—they are failing because they are disconnected from the sacred design.

They no longer serve life. They serve power. And have for a very long time.

The Call to Grieve: On Grief, Anger & Betrayal

There is a seesaw inside the soul when trust is broken. One side dips into grief—the heavy ache of what was once sacred. The other rises with anger—the fire of what should never have happened.

I Should Have Been a Criminal

“With liberty and justice for all.”

I used to believe those words. As a child, I stood straight and recited them with hand over heart—believing in the promise they held … But the day I found myself standing in a windowless room beneath a hospital …

Unmasking the Diagnosis, Reclaiming the Child

“Amphetamines are a class of highly addictive drugs—yet we prescribe them to millions of children.”
— Dr. Peter Gøtzsche, Deadly Psychiatry and Organised Denial

In the quiet corners of school offices and the sterile rooms of pediatric clinics, a spell has been cast.

It whispers:
Your child is broken.
Your child is restless, not quite right.
The answer? A pill. A label. A lifelong identity.

A Diagnosis in Question

Once upon a time, there was no such thing as ADD or ADHD.

There were curious children. Active children. Dreamy, inattentive children. Restless, impulsive, spirited, disorganized children.

Once upon a time, there was no such thing as ADD or ADHD, but then the story changed … why?

The Collapse of Listening

The Collapse of Listening

To listen with reverence is to say: I make space for your becoming.
It is to lay down the sword of opinion and hold out the chalice of presence.
It is to honor that something holy might be spoken into the silence—not from our mouths, but from the unseen place between us.

And in that listening, we remember what no script, no system, no dogma can teach: That the heart was always the original altar—and listening, its most ancient prayer.

Down the Rabbit Hole: The Kingdom of Control

…It was a psychiatrist, not a soldier,
who led the MK Ultra experiments—
a project funded by the CIA,
where silence was weaponized
and the human spirit was fractured by design…

And in Germany, before the gas chambers opened to the world,
they opened in the asylums.
Children deemed “defective” were the first to vanish.
Psychiatrists called it mercy.
The state called it necessary.
A genocide not of race at first—
but of mind.

Resistance and Recalcitrance: The Walls We Build and the Voices We Silence

Resistance is the force within us that pushes back against what we do not want to see, hear, or feel. It rises when an idea challenges the stories we have constructed about ourselves and the world—when something knocks against the fragile architecture of our beliefs, threatening to dismantle what we have carefully arranged. Recalcitrance, its close companion, is the deep-seated refusal to move, to yield, to even entertain the possibility that another truth exists beyond our own.

What fills the holes in the silence we hold

There are moments in life when words cannot reach the place inside us that aches. When the pain becomes so vast, so consuming, that silence becomes the only language left to speak. But even in silence, something waits—something holy, something true, something aching to be met with love.
