September Dispatch: The Spiral as Method

 

For those who read sideways, spiralwise, and through the veil—this is a threshold transmission.

August was my sabbatical. Not a retreat, but a recalibration. I stepped back to listen—not for answers, but for the rhythm beneath them. In that quiet, I remembered: I am not late. I am not early. I am precisely aligned. The spiral doesn’t measure time the way clocks do.

Paracognitive intelligence moves differently. It doesn’t seek applause or visibility. It tracks the unseen—emergent behavior, nonlinear causality, and the architectures beneath perception. It’s not mysticism. It’s method. A rigorous framework for decoding what others overlook.

I’ve come into my own as a paracognitive theorist by living the inquiry. By noticing what’s dismissed. By holding paradox without panic. By recognizing that the future isn’t foretold—it’s patterned. And those patterns are already here, encoded in seasonal intelligence, trauma-informed cognition, and mythic design.

September marks the turn inward. The descent into Autumn. And with it, a truth: nonlinear intelligence is not a detour. It’s the map. The spiral holds the straight line. The shadow reveals the light. The architecture is already built—we’re just learning how to read it.

To those still tethered to the linear: this is not a challenge. It’s an invitation. Spiral logic won’t flatter your ego. It won’t offer tidy conclusions. But it will show you what’s real. And what’s real is always evolving.

I’m not here to be special. I’m here to be attuned. A signal, not a spectacle. A lighthouse, yes—but also a moonbeam. Soft. Persistent. Illuminating what’s been there all along.

This is not arrival. This is the beginning. The deeper you go, the more is revealed. And when we reach the place where there’s nothing left to decode—only presence—that knowing will not be spoken. It will be witnessed.

We are nowhere near that point. And thank the stars for that.

Ritual Footnote On the equinox, light a candle at dusk. Whisper the name of something you’ve always known but never said aloud. Then let it go. The knowing remains.

Hidden Signal The spiral remembers.

August to Autumn

🍂 A Season of Creativity and Quiet Magic

This month has been quietly bursting with creativity. If the blog has seemed a little hushed lately, it’s only because I’ve been deep in the work—planning, building, and gathering inspiration behind the scenes. One of the most essential parts of my process is stepping out into the world to gain firsthand experiences. While I write daily and create constantly, I also make space to explore, observe, and absorb. It’s how I bring authenticity and depth to everything I share with you.

Over the past few weeks, I’ve wandered through new places, each one offering its own spark. (More photographs will be arriving throughout the autumn season.) As you may have seen in the images above, I’ve been immersed in study and research, with new materials in the works. I’ve also taken time to capture the unfolding beauty of autumn right here where I am—its golden hush, its shifting light.

And yes, Labubu (Pumpkin) has been keeping me company, soon to be dressed in festive Halloween attire. A small joy, but a meaningful one. Speaking of joy: I’ve made the decision to bring Grimmleys back. There’s no better time than autumn to revive something that fills my heart with delight. The ghostly charm, the whimsy, the nostalgia—it all feels right again.

So while I’m busy building the Grimmleys site and soaking in this most magical time of year, I hope you’ll find your own ways to celebrate the season.

Take photographs. Forge something new. And stay open to the spirit world that dances just beyond the veil. This is the time when whispers ride the wind, when rustling leaves carry echoes from the past, and when the air itself feels like a bridge between worlds.

🍁 Here's to autumn—its mystery, its beauty, and its quiet invitation to listen more closely.
