I'm Josh, and this project is dedicated to my search for the unconventional wisdom that transforms and brings true success. Not just wealth, status, happiness. More critically, developing the roots that lead to those fruits and better fruit: Developing virtue and strength of character, fighting the good fight, achieving kenosis, becoming "the greatest" through serving (opposite of slave morality). That brings fulfillment, and the best life has to offer. Understanding reality is foundational, so I explore metaphysical realism and the psyche with the help of Carl Jung, Jonathan Pageau, Jordan Peterson, and the first great psychologists (what Jung called the Church Fathers). Building the "self" is good for the purpose of building up others and bringing them to the best in life. Not actualization. Jung's individuation is better. It's his version of "put off your old self"/"put on the new self". But the highest form of actualization/individuation is theosis, as the Fathers taught.
