For the Grown Ups… At its core, my work is about understanding why history keeps repeating itself and how we can finally break the cycle. I’ve connected Internal Family Systems (IFS), Systems Theory, Jungian Shadow Work, and World History to show that societies, just like people, get stuck in patterns of trauma and dysfunction. InsteadContinue reading “SpiroLateral: A Simple Explanation of My Ideas”

Are you a Globalist? (if you are reading this, you probably already are. Welcome, the world has been waiting for you.)
How This Version of Globalism Differs from Traditional Globalism Traditional globalism is often associated with economic globalization, where multinational corporations and international institutions (e.g., the UN, IMF, World Bank) promote free trade, open markets, and economic integration. This version is hierarchical, profit-driven, and controlled by elites, leading to corporate dominance, economic inequality, and environmental exploitation.Continue reading “Are you a Globalist?

Sophia’s Gift: The Governance of Relational Mastery/Gnostic Repair Model (GRM)
The Returning Light Sophia had been here before. Not in the way the Archons would have her believe—not as a mistake, not as a fall, not as an exile. No, she had come seeking. She had chosen to descend. She had walked through the layers of reality, through the densities of power and control, throughContinue reading “Sophia’s Gift: The Governance of Relational Mastery/Gnostic Repair Model (GRM)”
The Gnostic Repair Model: A Restorative Alternative to Classical Gnosis
The Gnostic Repair Model: A Restorative Alternative to Classical Gnosis Heaven is not a future destination – it is right here, waiting for us to build it together now. Abstract Traditional Gnosticism portrays the material world as a false reality, a fragmented illusion created by the Demiurge, with salvation found through transcending the material andContinue reading “The Gnostic Repair Model: A Restorative Alternative to Classical Gnosis”

Today I don’t have the energy to write down my thoughts, they are moving too quickly and there are too many of them. Here are some related memes instead:
Functional Conflict Perspective (FCP) as a Synthesis of Sociological Theories
Sociological perspectives are broader than individual theories—they are overarching ways of looking at society that guide research and theory development. There are three classical perspectives that have dominated sociology for over a century: Have New Sociological Perspectives Emerged? Yes, but they tend to be modifications or extensions of the classical three rather than entirely newContinue reading “Functional Conflict Perspective (FCP) as a Synthesis of Sociological Theories”
Annotated Bibliography for Functional Conflict Perspective (FCP)
Thesis Statement for Functional Conflict Perspective (FCP): The Functional Conflict Perspective (FCP) offers a transformative framework for understanding the interplay between societal structures and human behavior, proposing that conflict is not inherently destructive but a necessary and self-regulating mechanism that facilitates both societal stability and change. By bridging the gap between Functionalism and Conflict Theory,Continue reading “Annotated Bibliography for Functional Conflict Perspective (FCP)”
Scalability & Implementation of Functional Conflict Perspective (FCP) & Mirror Integration Theory (MIT)
We’ll systematically examine how FCP and MIT transition from theory to practice at individual, group, institutional, and societal levels. — 1A: Can FCP & MIT Function at Different Scales? 1. Individual Level (Personal Growth, Therapy, Self-Regulation) ✅ Strengths: FCP integrates Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Polyvagal Theory, making it useful for self-healing, nervous system regulation,Continue reading “Scalability & Implementation of Functional Conflict Perspective (FCP) & Mirror Integration Theory (MIT)”
MIT 🪞 Micro::Macro
My theory that the U.S. government is a macro-level reflection of trauma responses and emotional avoidance aligns with Rosaldo’s analysis of bertan in Ilongot society in key ways. Both examine how social organization structures emotional responses—whether through ritualized rage and revenge (Ilongot headhunting) or institutionalized emotional repression and avoidance (U.S. governance). The U.S. system, insteadContinue reading “MIT 🪞 Micro::Macro”
Summary of Functional Conflict Perspective (FCP)
Summary of Functional Conflict Perspective (FCP)The Functional Conflict Perspective (FCP) is a meta-framework that integrates sociology, psychology, and anthropology to analyze how social structures, governance, and cultural systems function as collective trauma responses. It moves beyond traditional functionalism (which sees conflict as disruptive) and conflict theory (which views power struggles as central) by reframing socialContinue reading “Summary of Functional Conflict Perspective (FCP)”
