If you comment or contribute:

  • You're responsible for what you share
  • We may moderate for safety/relevance

Community Guidelines

In any community space we provide:

  • No shadow projection onto others
  • No performing hollow authority
  • No spiritual bypassing
  • No recruiting for external causes
  • Yes to honest exploration
  • Yes to questioning everything

Violation results in removal from community spaces.

Disclaimers

Not Professional Services

This work is philosophical diagnosis, not:

  • Medical advice
  • Psychiatric treatment
  • Legal counsel
  • Financial guidance
  • Life coaching

Seek appropriate professionals for these needs.

No Guarantees

We don't promise:

  • Enlightenment or awakening
  • Resolution of personal problems
  • Specific outcomes from shadow work
  • That you'll like what you discover
  • That integration will be comfortable

The work requires your participation. Results vary accordingly.

Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, we're not liable for:

  • Your interpretation of content
  • Actions taken based on the framework
  • Disruption to your worldview
  • Shadow material that emerges
  • Ego death or dissolution experiences

You engage at your own risk and sovereignty.

The Shadow Clause

By using this site, you acknowledge:

  • You might see your own shadows reflected
  • Comfortable illusions might dissolve
  • The framework might challenge core beliefs
  • Integration requires personal responsibility
  • The cure costs everything you think you are

This isn't a warning but a promise.

Termination

We may terminate access for:

  • Violation of these terms
  • Attempting to weaponize the framework
  • Harassment of community members
  • Acting as hollow authority in our spaces
  • Bad faith engagement

You may terminate by:

  • Unsubscribing from emails
  • Canceling paid subscriptions
  • Never returning to the site
  • Choosing comfortable blindness over difficult sight

Changes to Terms

Terms may evolve as the framework develops. Significant changes will be announced. Continued use constitutes acceptance. The core principle remains: mutual sovereignty.

Governing Principles

These terms are governed by:

  • The law of the United States
  • The principle of sovereignty
  • The recognition of mutual humanity
  • The understanding that legal structures are Maya
  • The agreement to operate within the current system while transcending it

Dispute Resolution

Before legal action:

  1. Email us directly to discuss
  2. Attempt good faith resolution
  3. Recognize the dispute as potential shadow projection
  4. Consider if the conflict serves integration

If resolution fails, disputes will be handled through arbitration, not courts.

The Real Terms

Beyond legal necessity, the real terms are simple:

  • We offer diagnosis, you maintain sovereignty
  • We provide framework, you do the work
  • We respect your consciousness, you respect ours
  • We're both trapped in the same Maya
  • We're both seeking integration

The legal language above is the Lex we must speak to operate in the current system. The truth is simpler: we're offering what we've seen to those ready to see it.

The system requires these terms. Truth requires nothing but recognition.
