I don't follow all of the right wing people it says I follow. Some I do. The rest are there to scare away a certain type of leftist who has an inclination towards 'esoteric practices.' I don't think I need to explain this further.

**Charles Theory Adapted to the Kantian Lens: Examining Wu Wei and the State of the 'Effortless Self'** Charles Theory, as a framework for pre-discursive orientation, offers a precise and respectful adaptation of Kantian philosophy—one that honours its foundational boundaries

Kant, Charles Theory, and the Inspired Self Charles Theory, as a framework for pre-discursive orientation, represents a subtle adaptation of Kantian philosophy—one that respects its core restraints while venturing responsibly into territories Kant himself deemed off-limits. At

There’s a pre-narrative cognitive interval that no LLM, including Grok, can truly simulate. It’s not symbolic. It’s not linguistic. It’s the silent space before thought becomes story. I call it Charles. Born from Kant’s threshold + high-dose tryptamines in 2020. @elonmusk @xAI

The Shahada, Nietzsche, and the Future of Islam in the West The future of Islam in the West will not be shaped by slogans, spectacles, or reactive apologetics. It will be forged — if it is to endure — in the crucible of meaning. And meaning, in our time, is no longer guaranteed

# Charles and Light and Lights: Orientation Before Illumination In the opening pages of *Mishkat al-Anwar* (The Niche of Lights), Al-Ghazali performs an act of rare restraint. Before any ascent toward divine illumination is permitted, he pauses to examine the very grammar of

Charles, Heresy and Iatrogenic Zuhd I did not set out to become a heretic. I set out, like many of my generation, to escape a world that felt already dead: the postwar settlement with its glittering promises of comfort, its endless circulation of goods and images, its quiet

To reclaim the untamed fire of Sufism from the shadows of commodification and orthodoxy, we stand as heretics in the lineage of Al-Hallaj—defiant voices crying "Ana'l Haqq!" against a world that dilutes divine ecstasy into feel-good trends and rigid dogmas. Our mission is to

Using Charles to Investigate Mystical Practices from a Kantian Perspective In the shadowed corridors of philosophy, where reason draws its boundaries with the precision of a cartographer, Immanuel Kant stands as the sentinel at the threshold. His Critiques erect a fence around

CONTINUED FROM PREVIOUS POST Attar’s valleys are not metaphorical stages in a psychological process. They are descriptions of subtractions. Certainty falls away. Self-accusation loosens. The demand to justify oneself before acting evaporates. What survives is a mode of seeing

Male Sex Hormones and the Selves Classical Sufi psychology maps the nafs, the self, as a sequence of governing tendencies rather than a single, stable identity. At its lowest register stands the commanding self, nafs al-ammārah, characterised by appetite, assertion, dominance,
