About Me

Bordentown, New Jersey, United States
I have lived in four countries, four states (worked in six), many cities, towns, and villages, and have visited many more. I have friends in many countries and cultures around the world and love them all. I am a pluralist and anti-ideologue. I believe that compassion is pragmatic and the scientific method is the path to enlightenment. To that effect, I believe that curiosity, imagination, and intuition are the initiating attributes of the empiricist, because a theory must come from a hypothesis - and a good hypothesis must come from a dedicated artist.

Introduction to the Church of the Undammed


The Church of the Undammed is not about god. There is no god.

It's not a Church, either. There is no building, tax exempt entity, indoctrination center, congregation, or collection plate. I despise dogma, ideology, doctrine, and anything else that stifles, stultifies, or stagnates curiosity, creativity, exploration, wonder, and the unique application of individual minds to the mysteries of life.

Undammed (spelled with two m's and no n) refers to breaking through the blockages and blockades presented by those who would think for us, and our reticence to think for ourselves.

Open your eyes, ears, hearts and minds to the reality only you can experience. Interact with the world of interaction. Cut the feckless, offensive bonds of spiritual tyranny that fall away like chains of rust with the simple thought - I am free! Throw off the yoke of tenacious, ancient lore and examine your world with fresh eyes. Your mind is not an insignificant redundancy in the vastness of everything, but a precious singularity of insight and point of view available for a limited time only.
