Bridges. Portals. Thresholds.
Exploring consciousness through the rigors of research and openness to experience
I am a PhD student, writer, and researcher examining the edges of consciousness, extended human capacities, synchronicities, and mystical experiences that offer us portals to meaning, purpose, and sense-making. I collaborate with organizations that investigate consciousness, non-dual states, and anomalous phenomena.

Those who have endured trauma, particularly as children, often report more paranormal experiences.
Nine Months Into My PhD Journey…An Update
I am no longer tethered to intuition, not because it does not interest me, but because I see it within a shared space of bridges or thresholds, a tool of unseating what we thought reality might be.
Spaciousness
There is a word that follows me these days – spaciousness. It is expansive and airy and ebbs and flows with breath. It is new for me, so I look at it, dissect it at times, wonder how it is shaping me.

Intuition: Both Divine + Mundane
The alignment I feel exploring intuition is like a gathering of disparate pieces: simultaneously mundane and divine, quotidian and transcendent, analytical and numinous.
What is Intuition?
We all know the word intuition colloquially – perhaps informally translated to be some kind of ‘inner knowing.’ Of course, it’s deeper than that.
