"Neuromelanin, a little-known pigment in the brain, may be far more than a biological curiosity. Its unique properties suggest a quantum potential that could revolutionize how we understand consciousness, energy, and even reality itself. Combining insights from esoteric thinkers like Rudolf Steiner and the enigmatic alchemist Fulcanelli, this article explores how neuromelanin and the cultivation of a polymathic mind could free humanity from the parasitic structures of hegemony."

"Set in late 15th-century Europe, Eclipse follows a young Dominican friar traveling from Paris to Florence in search of pre-Christian manuscripts. His encounter with an ascetic alchemist draws him into a quest for enlightenment, disrupted by disasters culminating in a solar eclipse. Written as a memoir, the novel blends historical detail, medieval alchemical lore, and philosophical depth, challenging rigid worldviews. Originally published in 1998, Eclipse earned Hirano, then a 23 year-old undergraduate, the Akutagawa Prize, establishing him as a literary prodigy."

Jung’s Integration and Adaptation of Religious Daoism |

"The impact and influence that a religious tradition can have amongst culturally out-group populations can be quite unexpected and can even “boomerang” back home in equally unpredictable ways. This article explores one example of a Chinese religion’s unexpected cultural influence within the Western psychiatric community using religious Daoism and its appropriation by analytical psychologist Carl Jung. Although elements of religious Daoism, such as Daoist Internal Alchemy or the Yijing, integrated into a system of psychiatric practices, its influence was not straightforward. It will be argued that Jungian ideas such as active imagination, individuation, and synchronicity were directly influenced or inspired by Jung’s exposure to religious Daoism through Richard Wilhelm, Daoist texts, and his own adoption of Daoist Internal Alchemy techniques, an influence which would reverberate through both Western and Chinese popular culture."
