We have a certain foreknowledge of our own deaths, but we do not take enough time to consider what that means for us. In life we are constantly bombarded with ideas, thoughts, and concepts that are in a way foreign to our natural states as human beings.

Essay on Self-Awareness and Despair
By: Thomas Sheldon MacDonald
Paperback.
Drawing on Freud, Rank, and Schopenhauer, I argue that despair is not pathology but the inevitable consequence of sentience—and the crucible through which transformation occurs.

I’m focused on Aiki Jūjutsu Dō—studying the full lineage: harmony, technique, and the Way. It’s a personal commitment to depth, internal practice, and honoring the original structure. #MartialArts #AikiJuJutsuDo

POST-MODERNISM AND THE DEATH IMPULSE By Thomas Sheldon MacDonald
This philosophical relic maps the death impulse as sacred architecture—where suffering, autonomy, and non-being become sovereign tools for becoming. A funeral for post-modern detachment. A crossing into sovereign ache.

Now that we descend together
In the ancient cemetery (of death)
Bound together by dreams of blood.
There is no sanctuary here.
Open the gates.
Turn to Face me.
Unlock the Gates.
Return to Emptiness.
In this moment, ever dying.
The candle is blown out forever.
