Come Again

By
  • Joanna Hoyt
| 5 Sep 2018 Features Fiction, Story

These people in the church with him today have heard all those words over and over, they can’t really hear them any more. He remembers other words: If they do not listen to Moses and the Prophets, they will not be convinced even if someone rises from the dead.

The Mythopoetic Mind of PlatoThe Mythopoetic Mind of Plato

By
  • Luke Kernan
| 5 Oct 2017 Features Essays, Poetry, Story culture

We are always living in a story, always present in a myth. The key is to possess mindfulness towards worldviews and their presence in the awakened self—they are analytical frameworks of the mind that first allow the universe to be experienced in a specific manner and then formulated into pure, specific “understandings” about the nature of that universe.

The Name of God

By
  • Alexander Blum
| 20 Jun 2017 Fiction, Story Noetics (Mind/Spirit)

He stood upon an old skull, and he crushed it under his dark heel. A snake was inside it, and its blood seeped into the ground. He stood in the crater where Gods went to die, the valley without light where a bloated Leviathan would rest upon the ground, and spears piercing its belly beneath dark clouds, the sun would turn away in time for it to rot and die. In its carcass, in its open bones a new God would form, a new rotten Beast to occupy the holy Throne….

Saturn in Scorpio in the First House

| 14 Jun 2017 Features Story Noetics (Mind/Spirit)

We will build our grave here on earth. Is it grave? Our bodies reduced to the skeleton of gluttony and the like. Or a marker, we build with substance, where our former bondage and body lies? ​The villains, if you will, have their will, they were here b …

Chess is two wills locked not only in combat but also in cooperation. Players must together create the conditions allowing one to emerge triumphant—or not.

The Long Curve of Descent

By

| 25 May 2017 Features Fiction, Story

Since the end of the Paleolithic Era, it is possible that we have been riding a long curve of descent, in which all things once transparent have become more and more opaque.

Prose for the Paranoid

By
  • Sue Stevenson
| 19 Mar 2017 Features Fiction, Story Noetics (Mind/Spirit)

I am, I am slightly ashamed to admit, a little paranoid at the moment. Some of it is genetic. My family have a history of “nerves.” My lovely cousin, who shares a big batch of genetics with me along with a childhood of school holidays spent together indulging our creative whimsy

Autumnal Fallout

By
  • Brian George
| 23 Oct 2016 Features Audio, Essays, Story Society (Multitudes), culture, tech

“It would be hard to communicate to someone growing up today just how widespread was the fallout from the threat of the Atomic Bomb. From July 16th, 1945, when the first bomb was tested over the Jornada del Muerto Desert, its occult light had continued to throw shadows from each object. The danger was not abstract; it was imminent, and it changed our whole way of looking at the world.”

By
  • Brian George
| 6 Sep 2016 Features Fiction, Story culture, tech

“In a comment on my essay “The Vanguard of a Perpetual Revolution,” Okantomi wrote, “I often feel like I can see what is happening in the world, as well as what is just about to happen, and what will almost certainly happen later on, and it’s like no one else sees what I am seeing. It’s eerie, shocking, and finally depressing.”

In the Crack

Explicit By
  • John Davis
| 19 Jul 2016 Features Explicit, Fiction, Story

A searing story of love, sex, longing, spiritual vision, and the paranormal—an intimate look at race, class, consciousness, and sexuality—and a star-crossed marriage of the cosmic and the carnal in one man’s heart.

The Burning Ghats of Varanasi, India

By
  • Ania Chapska
| 27 Jun 2016 Features Story Noetics (Mind/Spirit), culture

I’m sitting downwind from the raging fires that are viciously swallowing up whatever still remains of the material manifestation of a once breathing, living body. The skin on the face peels back to reveal features which do not distinguish one from the …
