- The Kingdom of Heaven Is Not Heaven
Most of us casually merge two phrases that were never meant to be identical: Heaven and the Kingdom of Heaven. Heaven, in the common-sense imagination, is a “somewhere else.” A realm. A destination. A state - Speak in The Past Tense
The Strange Listener in the Room Most people think they’re listening with their minds. They’re not. They’re listening with whatever ideas are living inside them. You’ve seen it a thousand times: two people sit across - History, as Seen by an Idea
The one relationship ideas don’t get to have From your seat inside the Eternal Now, history is intimate. It is “her.” The Immutable Past. Dark, complete, singular, dimensionless, finished. You can feel the gravity of - Navigating the Geometry of Change: A New Equation for Leadership
Good morning. As leaders, you live under the constant, and often exhausting, pressure to manage change.

When you stand upright in the present—no longer leaning back into regret or lurching forward into anxiety—you can feel it. Gratitude arises without effort. You notice a euphoria, not dramatic, but unmistakable: “I’m here. I - Bias in the Reality Equation
Expectation as Complex In the reality equation, expectation is complex: with P as the predictor (real component) and C as ideation (imaginary component). To quantify expectation we take its modulus: This folds predictor and ideation - Why Mystical Events Feel Different
