I wrote and published a book of fiction in 2011. The main Character David Opinski, has the voice of my experience... This is some dialogue from one of his seminars. “All of us are subconsciously in tune with the generative principle of the fabric of reality, the inherent design of the universe as a whole and recognize such beauty when faced with the forms of that natural law,” he stated, his eyes still closed. “Beyond metaphors, residing in the space between idea and opinion is the realm of experiential phenomena, the world perceived through direct contact, uncontaminated by the artificial texturing of our language, beliefs and conditioning. Is it possible for an individual to experience the world directly and not perceive through the lens of cultural misrepresentation? I ask this, because of the immediate conflict which arises upon having experiences outside the cultural constructs of learned and accepted knowing. This realm is traditionally the playground of the insane.” A broad grin spread upon Dr. Opinski’s face as he opened his eyes; a cheeky sparkle lighting the room. “Our sentient intelligence used according to its evolutionary mandate is to create a feedback loop, reiterating the experience of the fractal dimension of infinity. If ever there was a purpose to Creation and any meaning implicit in the complexity of the human organism, I believe it is as a device through which the universe can know itself.” David continued. Every word he spoke heavy with the truth of his conviction. “A whole system by definition is one in which all duality has been put into perspective and recognized as aspects of a cohesive continuum. The synthesis of consciousness and morphology leads to an experience of this cohesive whole. There is no difference between what we label spiritual and what we label physical. Metaphysics understands this unity. This includes subjective and objective mind and its relation to space-time. Every observer has their own relative and therefore subjective experience. An ontologist uses their own mind-body as the scientific apparatus in the experiment to find an answer to the question ‘what is the true nature of being?’. Acknowledging the positive feedback loop created between the observer and the observed when this delineation is dissolved, the ontologist becomes a boundless self-referential singularity spread across all space.”

I am currently finalising a manuscript "The Enormity of Mind - Beyond the Threshold and into the Territory". I am in discussion with a publishing house but the process can take up to two years before it hits the bookshelves. Community members will get access to a 'members only manuscript' - it won't be the polished final edition but it is a wild ride through my 40 years of research and experience and unpacks the best maps available to describe the territory of experience everyone is trying to enter - stay tuned🙂

The self is a habit. Habits can be interrupted. Ordinary waking consciousness operates from a single, fixed perspective. The one looking out through these eyes, from this history, with these preferences and these fears. That perspective feels like the only available one because it is the one the Default Mode Network continuously reinstates. It is not the only available one. It is the habitual one. The 25 Perspectives Practice is a structured contemplative exercise built on a simple insight: self-identification is a process, not a fact. By moving awareness deliberately through 25 distinct perspectives in sequence, the conviction that the habitual perspective is the real one begins to loosen. Not through dissolution but through multiplication. The decoder discovers it can operate from more positions than it believed available.

Every human being walks around inside a story they didn’t write. Not metaphorically. Literally. Your nervous system isn’t a camera — it’s an editor. Before a single image reaches conscious awareness, your brain has already cut 99% of available sensory data, cross-referenced what remains against a library of prior experience, and handed you the result labeled reality. What you’re calling the world is a perspective wearing the mask of fact. This is why two people can stand in the same room, watch the same conversation unfold, and leave with completely different accounts of what happened — and both be telling the truth as they received it. There is no view from nowhere. There is only the view from here — from this body, this wound, this wonder, this particular configuration of everything that has ever happened to you. The implications are staggering. If perspective generates the narrative, and narrative generates the felt sense of what is real, then changing your perspective isn’t just a psychological technique — it’s a cosmological act. You are literally altering the universe you inhabit. Most of us never examine the lens. We argue about what we see, never asking what kind of glass we’re looking through. The contemplative traditions knew this. Every serious inner practice — meditation, shadow work, psychedelic inquiry, somatic awareness — at its core is doing the same thing: making the invisible lens visible. Catching yourself in the act of constructing the story before you’ve mistaken the construction for the ground. The moment you see the perspective, you are no longer entirely inside it. That gap — between the seeing and the seen — is where freedom lives.
