About

Welcome to Tending Eden, a quiet corner of the internet where the sacred and the soiled embrace. This isn’t just a blog, a journal, or a philosophy project. It’s a kind of practice - a daily tending of the inner garden.

Rooted in the ideas I first explored in my book In the Becoming: Finding Meaning in an Unfinished World, this project goes deeper into a single, radical thought:

Consciousness isn't just awareness - it's a place.
Not metaphorically, not symbolically, but actually.
An Eden.
Not lost, but overlooked.
Not in the sky, but beneath your feet.

I call this space Mystics in Mud because I don’t believe that you have to escape the world to find the sacred. I believe you find the sacred by digging into life's soil. The mystic isn't someone who floats above life, but someone who kneels into life getting dirt on their hands. In this space, I'm going to explore the paradoxes of the mystical mind - a mind that's able to see through the mundane, past the habitual, into the radiant and unfinished nature of being itself.

What You'll Find Here

• Reflections on consciousness as a living Eden - not a lost paradise, but a hidden centre that's always seeking to blossom.
• Short writings and poetic essays on mysticism, ordinary life, and the sacred rhythms of nature.
• Explorations in Logontology - a word I use to describe the deep structure of being, where meaning unfolds not from what is, but from what is becoming.
• Tools for syncing rather than sinking - practices, rituals, and thought experiments to help you reconnect with the sacred movement of your own consciousness.

Tending Eden: Mystics in Mud is a place for those who want to go inward without leaving the world, but to re-enter it more fully alive.
