Brief Considerations
The Cyclical Cosmic Gardeners
This narrative reimagines the Hindu Trimurti (Brahma the Creator, Vishnu the Preserver, and Shiva the Transformer) as internal psychological forces that operate within each individual. Through their philosophical dialogue, these three deities reveal how creation, preservation, and conscious release function as essential aspects of personal growth and spiritual development.
The piece explores creation as an act of remembering eternal forms, preservation as dynamic balance rather than static maintenance, and transformation through the wisdom of knowing when to let go. Rather than presenting these as distant cosmic principles, the narrative positions them as intimate, accessible forces that shape our daily experience of growth, stability, and change.
The Cosmic Gift Exchange
An original mythological tale of transformation where four ancient powers converge at the edge of creation to exchange gifts that will forever change their divine natures.
The Zen of Reverent Rabbit
In ancient Japan, a white rabbit named Shiromaru journeys from restless seeker to embodied sage, discovering that true wisdom resides not in scrolls but in reverent attention to life's ordinary moments.
This timeless tale reminds us that enlightenment comes not from extraordinary knowledge but through the humble recognition that each moment, fully honored, contains all the wisdom we seek.
The Limited Hope Initiative
Taking an honest look at opposing views is one of the best ways to bypass hidden cognitive biases. This exercise can either expand your worldview in profound ways, or paradoxically strengthen your existing beliefs with greater humility and grace.
I decided to play devil's advocate with my own book series, "Growing Light," to see how well it stands up to scrutiny.
Will this exercise completely change my mind? Will I abandon my mission to help people improve their mental health, grow personally, and find greater satisfaction in daily life?
