Welcome to the Quest

Hello Friends and seekers of understanding. This first post serves as an introduction into the type of material and subject matter I want to develop through this endeavor.

I think its clear that the world is strange and the internal workings of the human even more complex. Looking at our times we can see much political unease, flawed social functioning, and discontent souls. Now more than ever its important for us to reflect upon the nature of the human condition in order to develop dispositions with authenticity as the driving force instead of fear. Fear propagated by media, delusion, and egoistic patterns of thought.

Working towards authenticity requires first and foremost a deep personal inventory of the beliefs and attitudes you hold. The Re-evaluation of truths and belief is necessary for growth, and we must be humble enough to enter this sphere of reprogramming. Through this blog, it is my hope to dig into the attitudes and modes of thought that lead to a higher quality of life. A quality rooted in a deeper connection to self purpose, adaptability amidst unfavorable circumstance, engagement with your responsibilities, and a hunger for creating a sense of integrity within your being.

Its time we get serious about exploring both the dark and light aspects of ourselves. One can’t know the light without recognizing the dark and I feel as though many new age beliefs, self help programs, and certain religious structures try to avoid the dark instead of facing it with courage and transcending through it. Life is no joke and it certainly isn’t easy. We will all get beat down and face personal demons along this journey, but its how we respond and move forward through the chaos that defines our being.

I don’t claim to know the answers to the deep psychological, philosophical, and religious questions that pervade the human, but I do aim to keep the discussion going about them. I aim to build a framework in which we can discuss these issues and be open to leaving unproductive beliefs behind and adopt more life driven ones. I hope this blog can serve as a platform for us to discuss these complexities of life as a collective and truly experience the light that dwells at our core.
