"The Big Awakening is Confronting Unrealistic Ideologies."
"If it be now, ’tis not to come; if it be not to come, it will be now; if it be not now, yet it will come—the readiness is all." (Hamlet, Act 5, Scene 2)
The word ideology once meant the study of ideas, rooted in idea (ἰδέα, form) and logos (λόγος, reason). Over time, it became a fortress of rigid beliefs, detached from reality. Ideas, once fluid and evolving, turned into dogma—words without weight, theories without grounding.
Now, the veil thins. The real collides with the imagined, and what cannot stand in truth dissolves. This moment demands discernment—a return to logos—not the blind repetition of borrowed ideas, but the forging of reason in the crucible of reality. At the same time, it calls for surrender, trusting fully in what aligns us with greater forces, such as the divine.
Dropping the next newsletter tomorrow about the first eclipse of the season.
How do logical streams help one see through the bullshit of the woo-woo that has been used in the idea of fake community and fake responsibility to avoid addressing the most important problem of humanity today?
People don’t understand what money is, and that’s why they get so confused with everything else that implies an organization.
Okay, so let’s talk a little bit about how important the axiom of human action is—making decisions and understanding how to value oneself. Because, you know, value is subjective. And if you don’t know what you need and you don’t know what your basic sustainable needs are, you cannot address anything else. But you will probably be distracting yourself because everybody is mirroring with people who are just as confused as you are.
I see, currently, that the woo-woo communities—all the New Age, psychedelics, astrological, human design, and self-help movements, all those fake gurus burners—are really impairing the possibility that a human being has to confront his own fear of sustainability. These communities are impairing anyone by telling each person how to do it, but actually, none of them know how to do it. They’re grouped together because they don’t know how to do it.
Humanity has lost quality time since 2020. For five years, the world has been confronting the opportunity to learn something new, not to shield oneself behind these fake groups.
Yeah, probably, at times, they were teaching interesting stuff. I was part of many, many groups, but the moment I saw that I could stagnate behind all this comfort, I just flew. I just changed perspective—because I started noticing the groupthink, the scripted behaviors, and the repetition of ideas with no real questioning.
Then later, I learned that the term NPC stands for Non-Player Characters. A lot of these people don’t even have their own character to play. They’re not authentic. They’re just mimicking the rest of the group.
That’s why it’s so important to stand up right now and voice with courage what you stand for. And while you’re at it, learn what money is.
I commend people to find who they are through self-realization and individuation—on their own. Yes, you can have support, whether through specific therapies or working with a skilled guide, but the work itself must be done by you. It’s not about holding hands with the rest of the group and hoping for change. That’s my criticism. Dive into your own journey, confront your fears, and trust that you can remain authentic. 
Sourcing images for next publicart commission… plus Movement. I need to move these days. I’m walking more than two hours a day—it’s so refreshing. I had to realize how stagnated I was in front of the computer. Even exercising at home wasn’t really making me feel connected.
And so, I’m back to my morning walks—time where I contemplate, listen to books, and spend time with myself. Love it.

This piece is a gift as we are in a profound time of delusion, disillusion, dissolution and renewal. With the Moon moving into Cancer today, we are invited to connect deeply with our inner world, with our emotional needs, and with the parts of ourselves that have been waiting to be embraced. As Mars in Cancer stirs action from the heart, this is a moment to step into clarity—not through force, but through synthesis. I hope this finds you at the right time...
Every time we give our power away—to a government, an institution, or even a tribe—we distance ourselves from our own accountability and authenticity. A tribe will always have a hierarchy, and if you’re seeking approval, you’re surrendering your authority to something outside yourself.
Get a grip. Align with yourself first. That’s the only way to truly stand for your inalienable rights—not just in theory, but in action. When you do that, you’ll naturally find people to collaborate with—voluntarily and nonviolently. Keep making decisions that serve your life, your values, your reality.
Because at the end of the day, value is subjective, so no one else can define it for you. Every choice you make carries weight, but only your human action will determine the outcome. Not a pre-set precedent, not a government—just you. #getagrip
A typo here and there doesn’t kill the message
Blame it on being a polyglot
You got it? That is great
This year I chose to practice the virtue of discernment.
My practice: observing and analyzing BTC trends - I love it!
Today based on daily, 4h, 2h and 1h timeframes using Ichimoku technique:
• Strong green candle breaking 86k resistance with substantial volume suggests bullish momentum
• Cloud twists forming across multiple timeframes (especially tomorrow's 2H twist) signal potential trend reversal
• Remaining cautiously optimistic until Chikou Span breaks free from congestion and rises above cloud
• Price navigating between key support at SSA (87.1k) and resistance around 89k
• Daily chart shows accumulation despite flattening twist structure
• Watching if volume continues strengthening above VMA on successive bars to validate breakout vs temporary spike
• Price interaction with key levels will determine if this is sustained momentum or false breakout 
Know thyself it takes time to face your daimon
GET YOUR PRIORITIES IN ORDER
War – Defense – Money Devaluation
Murray Rothbard: happy 99th birthday sir! “The government produces nothing; it only redistributes wealth and resources that it extracts by force.” (Power and Market, 1970)
War is a business. Governments justify massive spending in the name of “security,” but who truly benefits?
December 23, 1913 — The Federal Reserve begins. Every war since has been funded by money printing, diluting your time and wealth.
Ludwig von Mises: “War is always destructive of capital and wealth, never productive.” (Human Action, 1949)
Every war is paid by taxpayers. It depletes resources, fuels inflation, and burdens the people—while governments treat it as an economic strategy.
Since 1913, war has been financed by destroying your purchasing power.
Saifedean Ammous: “Governments that rely on money printing to finance war ultimately erode the value of their own currency.” (The Fiat Standard, 2021)
War is expensive. When governments can’t afford it, they print money—robbing you through inflation.
If war must be fought, let it be paid with real assets, not your devalued time.
War, defense, and money are connected. Get your priorities in order.
I enter the cave, where silence wraps around me like a second skin. No voices, no distractions—only the sound of my own breath echoing against the stone.
For 40 days, I stay.
I do not seek light; I let it find me. I do not ask for answers; I let them surface. I strip away the excess, the noise, the illusions. I hold each thought to the fire: Is this worth it? Does this give me value? Is this essential?
And deeper still: Is my purpose equivalent to my authenticity? As Venus retraces her steps from Aries to Pisces, through the cavern of my second house, I weigh what remains—what is mine, what is true, what cannot be taken. Only what withstands the silence becomes precious.

Little Nuggets from The Nature of My Reality
Edited and co-produced by Mari Budlong, cover and book designed by Monika Bravo.
A non-linear journey exploring self-awareness, sovereignty, and the synthesis of disciplines, weaving together art, Austrian economics, cosmology, and psychology.
Through reflections, illustrations, and inquiry, the book invites the reader to contemplate individuation, value, and human action beyond societal conditioning.

Equilibrium is a process CHILL
Mmm, yeah, it’s a language—an ancient one.
The logos of the stars, mapped through numbers and told through myth.
I speak it naturally, always through archetypal symbology (Jung).
I track time cycles, noticing patterns, connecting the dots—making sense of things, in my own way.
I wrote a whole book about it, using this language to explore individuation—this abstract process of uncovering what’s hidden. I also bring in praxeology, allowing the logos to emerge through human action.
In The Nature of My Reality, I weave this language into a deeply personal and non-linear exploration of value, time cycles, and individuation. Through myth, archetypal symbology, and praxeology, I reveal how the hidden structures of reality shape our perception—and how we, in turn, participate in their unfolding.
This book is both an inquiry and a synthesis—a process of uncovering what is concealed, making the unconscious conscious, and reclaiming agency in a world governed by unseen forces. I don’t offer conclusions; instead, I invite the reader into their own process of discovery, to engage with reality not as something fixed but as something alive, dynamic, and deeply personal.

Afterthought: The Art of Synthesis in a Dying Age
*(Perhaps you have noticed, dear reader, that in the past month, I have been using different tools to speak to you.
Not facts, not doctrine, but poetry, beauty, inspiration—for these are my main tools.
Astrology is a tool.
The movement of Neptune and Saturn is a tool.
Kalí Téchni—the skill of doing the right things—is a tool.
We are at a threshold, much like Dante, much like Damiel. One foot in the old world, one foot in the unknown. And it is our action, our human action, that will shape what comes next.
I have always worked like this. I gather—words, images, fragments of the past, echoes from history. I appropriate, reconfigure, destroy, rebuild.
This is the art of synthesis.
This is how meaning survives.
Only the will to act. Only the will to shape what comes next.
*HUMAN ACTION—the art of free will.*
The Pulse of Volatility
Volatility is movement, the breath of change. The word comes from volatilis—“to fly,” something fleeting, ever-shifting. Originally used for substances that evaporate quickly, it evolved to mean instability, unpredictability—never still, never fixed. But nothing alive is static. A flatline means death, whether in the heartbeat, the markets, or creativity.
Markets mirror the emotional body of the world. Bitcoin’s recent drop reveals this—fear contracts, greed expands. The charts don’t just track price; they trace human sentiment, a wavelength of reaction and perception. But not everything oscillates at the same rhythm. Just like in music, tension builds, peaks, and then releases. Life follows the same pattern—growth, contraction, transformation.
Mastery is not in control but in understanding. Recognizing patterns, aligning with the flow rather than fighting it—this is where clarity begins. I don’t just watch—I observe, correlate, and synthesize. Bitcoin, USDT, gold, and treasury markets move in response to shifting emotions, each revealing a different layer of collective sentiment. Nothing stands alone. Seeing the full picture means layering perspectives, tracing the pulse of change across time and space.
In the end, it all comes down to human action—the choice to react in fear or to move with awareness, embracing volatility as the natural current of life. Keep HODLING if you will. 
The Value of Scarce Time
Time is finite—so is Bitcoin. Understanding what you truly need helps you assign value, create purpose, and build freedom.
Join me at BitBlockBoom for a beginner-friendly session on Austrian Economics and Bitcoin—where time, value, and sovereignty come together.
April 3-4-5-6, 2025 in Dallas, Texas 
Eight years ago, under the same Venus retrograde, I was thrust into the depths, met my own darkness, and in that encounter, glimpsed the face of truth. Now, eight years later, I return to tell myself the story—to make it real. I may share it, I may not.
