Understanding Telos: The Core of Purpose and Meaning

In the grand narrative of human existence, few concepts are as fundamental—and yet as overlooked—as telos. Originating from ancient Greek philosophy, telos translates to “end,” “goal,” or “purpose.” It is not merely an objective to be met, but a profound calling embedded within each of us, guiding us towards fulfillment. Telos suggests that everything has an intrinsic purpose, a reason for being. This is not simply an ambition crafted by society or whim. Rather, telos is the inherent end-point towards which we all are unknowingly striving, often in unconscious ways. This concept, explored extensively by Aristotle, proposes that life is not a chaotic dance of chance. Instead, it’s a purposeful journey where each of us is equipped with the potential to actualize our unique nature. It is this process of aligning with our true telos that allows us to experience a life of meaning. To live without understanding our telos is akin to being lost in a forest without a compass. We might wander, a...

A Review of The Third Eye by Sophia Stewart

Sophia Stewart deems herself "the Mother of the Matrix" on the cover of her book The Third Eye . For over twenty years now, Stewart has insisted that her original copyrighted material was plagiarized and used to create-not only the Matrix films-but also the Terminator series as well. She compiles court documents surrounding the Matrix/Terminator RICO case along with the movie treatment, a photocopy of her original manuscript and more. Stewart wants fans to "find out the truth for themselves". Stewart's story of The Third Eye takes you on a journey into the dystopian future of a post-apocalyptic Earth. The planet has become barren and the inhabitants are starving and oppressed by evil forces. The sake of all humanity rests in the hands of the prophesied "One" and in the power of the Third Eye. Stewart blended theological and technological theories into an impressive science-fiction adventure. I was engrossed by the way Stewart wrapped the timeless ...

The Paradox of Light

In the vast theater of the cosmos, light plays a role both subtle and profound. It is a paradoxical messenger, bound by a finite speed yet capable of bridging unfathomable distances across the universe. Light is essential to our understanding of the cosmos; through it, we perceive distant stars, galaxies, and even hints of the universe’s origin. But its dual nature as both particle and wave, as well as its finite speed, invites questions about the very fabric of reality itself. Let’s explore the paradoxes that light introduces, shedding light (if you’ll pardon the pun) on the mysteries it brings forth. Light as Particle and Wave Perhaps the most famous paradox surrounding light is its dual nature. Experiments in the early 20th century showed that light exhibits properties of both particles and waves, depending on how we observe it. This phenomenon, known as "wave-particle duality," defies our classical understanding of physics. Traditionally, particles and waves were seen as ...
