What is the meaning to all of this, really?

Exploring how science and everyday life fit together inside a living cosmos.

Your Existence Is the Universe Trying to Get Its Shit Together is for the inquisitive, everyday human - no PhD in astrophysics or spiritual guru credentials required! At its heart, the book offers a tour of a rather cosmic idea: it suggests that our Universe might be one giant, living work-in-progress, and you (and me, and all of us) are part of how it’s “getting its act together.” In other words, imagine the Universe as one huge organism, and each of us as tiny cells helping it learn and grow. Maybe a wild thought? But, it helps explain so much of why we have the experiences we do on this Earth, both good and bad.

You will be introduced to a framework that's meant to help you connect to the Universe in a different way, like thinking of galaxies as metabolic bodies, and seeing our consciousness as the union of our soul-thread and body (I fondly use the term "wetware") chosen by the Universe in the two-dimensional boundary layer (a.k.a. the edge of existence). The framework ties everything together in a fabulous blend of science and spirituality to help you move through the concepts.

Most importantly, this book isn’t here to convince you of a single truth. It’s more of an invitation to explore. Each chapter offers something to ponder, along with journal prompts for you to reflect on what you think and feel. Take what resonates with you and leave the rest. The aim is that, by the end, I hope you might see yourself and your life as a vital part of the Universe. We are not the main characters (sorry), but we are in service of something so far beyond our lived reality.

Curious to read more? I’d love for you to be among the first to dive in! If you haven’t already, sign up and I’ll send you a section of the book when it’s ready. Until then, keep wondering and stay open. This is a cosmic journey that’s meant to be enjoyed, together.
