Stories, quotes, experiments, practices, bits and bobs that consistently give me sudden glimpses into the nature of existence. A list of “personal koans”. A collection of psychoactive bits of text. Maybe they’ll hit you too.


  • “My whole life, regardless of all that may happen to me, every minute of it, is not only not meaningless, as it was before, but has the unquestionable meaning of the good which it is in my power to put into it!” - Tolstoy in Anna Karenina
  • “The world is all made up, and that’s a great thing. Don’t forget, you get to make it up too.” - Garry Tan
  • “Everywhere I see people working forwards from what they know how to get to find what they want, rather than figuring out what they want then finding out how to get it” - Nick Cammarata
