WELCOME, PLEASE READ FIRST

Updated: 2 days ago

Hello, and welcome. If you’ve landed here without reading the book first, and you’re trying to get a feel for what this place is all about, here are some things to know about the questions and answers below.


First, these are not articles, or blog posts. They are a very specific type of response to questions submitted by readers who know the rules, and know the type of response they’ll get.


In the book, I explain how all this came to be and why I’m doing it (for now.)


You’ll notice some parity between responses, and that is intentional. The underlying structure includes specific elements that are required to provide a comprehensive response.

First, all questions submitted by readers are limited to 50 words. 


I listen for what’s actually being asked. Not the surface question, but the one buried beneath it, the one the false self hides behind layers of story and need. If there’s any genuine movement, that’s where it begins. I identify the primary question being asked and reframe it to expose the hidden assumption, the real question behind the question. Reframing forces the asker to see the mechanism at work, the self attempting to survive inquiry. From there, they can begin to identify the forward-moving question. The one that opens the next door.


The goal isn’t clarity or comfort; it’s exposure. Turning the question inside out reveals the self-preserving machinery beneath it. Every reframed question is a mirror, not an answer.


Where it’s clear, I also note which phase of dismantling the question reflects. This may help people orient themselves, to see that what feels like failure or madness is often just the architecture collapsing. 


Each response, then, is an invitation, not a reassurance. When I reframe a question, it isn’t to be clever; it’s to show the asker where they’re standing. Most of what we call questions are strategies of delay, ways of staying asleep while pretending to wake up.


Ultimately, I simply point people back to what’s real, to the real question being asked.
