“There is no shadow within a shadow and there are no more blind-spots left. The light of self-inquiry has blinded me from the outer world. What remains is a visionary vampire with self-perfected night-vision. The dark is my home and I see its depths and they do not frighten me. There are few and feeble creatures that live here as nothing nourishes the darkness and the insecurities evaporate like so much morning dew. Even the vampire, subjected to the light, crumbles to ash and is no more. There are no eyes to see no vision. There is no blindness without sight.”

What do you do?
I study meta-awareness, psychedelic microdosing, meditation, and attention, as well as other topics, with a focus on Open Science, transparency, and rigour.
Why?
I do research because I am curious. I want accurate information about the world. I do research myself because other researchers have created a replication crisis.
