Barron Trump the Synchronicity Kid

By S.J. Kerrigan | Published: July 25, 2017

By now, most people reading this will have heard of the Alt-right. Are they really just racist trolls, or are they the right wing version of Occupy Wall Street: young, technologically savvy, and a bit counterculture? Perhaps they are both or neither depending on who you ask, but the Alt-right is defined less by their beliefs […]

John C. Lilly and the Solid State Entity

By S.J. Kerrigan | Published: July 30, 2016

John C. Lilly is one of my favorite “alternative” scientists. His popularity has waned significantly since his death in 2001, even as his contemporaries like Timothy Leary and Terence McKenna have continued to have strong followings. Still, Lilly’s admittedly outrageous ideas and prophecies are worth remembering, not because they are necessarily true, but because, like all mythologies, they give us […]

Spider-Man is Your New God: Fandom and the Absence of Meaning

By S.J. Kerrigan | Published: June 14, 2016

I’ve always defined god as that which motivates a person the most. Whatever makes you get up in the morning or whatever makes you go to work for 40 hours or more a week, that is your god. For a lot of people, God is money. Money does after all affect almost every interaction we have on a […]

The Therapeutic Power of Floating and the Death of Self

By S.J. Kerrigan | Published: March 16, 2016

I carefully step in to the tank, one foot after the other, into the super thick and unusually slippery water. Once the lid is closed, I’m immersed in complete darkness. As I lay back, my body is forced upward, floating on the surface of the water. I’ve done this a few times now and my […]

The Image: The New Global Language

By S.J. Kerrigan | Published: September 8, 2015

Two weeks after the event, we have all but forgotten about the murder of a news reporter and her cameraman during an interview on live television. The apparent shooter, Vester Flanagan, was a former coworker who had previously been fired from the station. ABC News said it was faxed a 23-page manifesto from someone claiming to be the shooter, […]

Violence and the Tyranny of Symbols

By S.J. Kerrigan | Published: June 25, 2015

Grant Wood’s “American Gothic” painting says a lot of about who Americans are deep down: one figure timid and seemingly almost traumatized, the other defiant, and both are dour. Their unhappiness stands in stark contrast with a beautiful setting behind. Dressed in black, there is a morose darkness to their mood. But the message of this parody is one of rage matched with delusional […]

Religion, Zealots and Reconnecting with Our Mythology

By S.J. Kerrigan | Published: February 24, 2015

(Click to download an audio narration of this post.) A lot of people I know claim they are not religious. If they had said they were not very religious, I could accept it, but to claim complete separation from religious thought is like saying “I do not get angry,” or “I do not get hungry.” It’s self […]
