Field Notes from the messy middle.
I’m a software engineer who started meditating in 2022 to fix my burnout. I was looking for stress relief. Instead, I accidentally dismantled my entire worldview.
Technically Mystic is the documentation of that dismantling. It is the logs of an atheist turning into a mystic, written by someone who is still trying to keep their day job.
For a decade, I’ve built systems and lived by logic. But after finding The Silence, I went from an agnostic workaholic to navigating the "Dark Night of the Soul" while trying to act normal in morning stand-ups.
This repository serves as a permanent archive of these field notes. It contains all posts and notes as markdown files, compiled into a PDF for easy distribution and preservation.
The content in this repository is organized by "depth," allowing you to choose how far down the rabbit hole you want to go:
Burnout, skepticism, and the rational analysis of spiritual phenomena. Making sense of the "woo" without losing grounding.
Where the existing worldview starts to crack. The shift from stress relief to something deeper.
Devotion, the Dark Night, and the visceral ache of falling in love with Something you can’t see.
Space Division field notes. Non-duality, direct experiences, and phenomena that sound impossible until they happen to you.
This is the compilation of the Field Notes from the messy middle, sourced from my website.
