Exploring The Shape of Time: Maya Long Count Insights
Why the Maya Long Count Enters the Story Now When I wrote earlier about Jerusalem and the winter of 2012, I mentioned the Maya calendar almost incidentally, as if it were a background detail rather than a conceptual thread. But the truth is that the reference was never accidental. I placed it there because I…

Future Narratives: Embracing Change Beyond Human Logic
Two Futures: The Human Logic and the Logic of the Story Every era imagines its own future, but what it imagines usually reveals more about its current fears than about what is actually coming. Today humanity stands in the middle of a global convergence of crises — ecological, economic, political, psychological — and the pressure…

Understanding the Logic Behind Global Turmoil
When the World Loses Control — Why Global Collapse Follows the Same Logic as a Human Life Modern societies like to imagine themselves as rational systems guided by conscious decisions, long-term planning, and collective responsibility. For most of the last century, it was possible to believe that progress was something we produced, that crises could…

Letting Go and the Grammar of Surrender
Why “going with the flow” is not a choice — but something that happens to us when the story takes over In ordinary conversation, the phrase “go with the flow” appears effortless and almost glamorous.

THE SURFACE — A DEADLOCK THAT RESISTS EVERY EXPLANATION The conflict between Israel and Palestine has become the defining deadlock of the modern world — a crisis so persistent that it feels welded into the very horizon of history.

Understanding Paul’s Unique Historical Perspective
Why Every Age Before Ours Misread Paul Paul stands at a fault line in the history of consciousness. His letters are the earliest Western documents written from inside the movement of time itself, rather than from within a mythic story, a legal order, or a doctrinal system. Yet in every age after his own, Paul…

Atonement and the Narrative Structure of Paul’s Message
The Lost Architecture of Resurrection For two thousand years the question of the resurrection has been distorted by a debate that Paul himself never engaged. Modernity inherited three, mutually exclusive answers: that the resurrection happened literally as a historical event, that it did not happen at all, or that the question is irrelevant because “faith”…

From Interpretation to Structure: The Next Age of Understanding
When the World Sees the Architecture Behind Its Own Meanings (1000–2000 → 2000–2025 / Ages 50–60)** Every long story reaches a point where interpretation is no longer enough. For nearly a thousand years, the world lived in the Age of Interpretation, a period in which meaning was pursued through commentary, critique, and analysis. The Schism…
