Martial arts plays a significant role in my personal practice

Martial arts plays a significant role in my personal practice, which has led me to delve deeply into research related to martial arts, self-defense, and combat sports. While exploring these subjects, I’ve noticed a conspicuous and concerning issue that isn’t widely discussed: the presence of racism and sexism within these fields. This matter has become a prominent part of my […]

What we honor is a reflection of ourselves within the world.

So Identify holidays that hold personal significance for you and incorporate them into your practice. Document these holidays and explore why they are individually meaningful to you. In my perspective, this is what truly transforms holidays, celebrations, and festivals into meaningful experiences. While there’s nothing wrong with observing cultural or national holidays, the essence of these occasions becomes more spiritual […]

Which are laid out by KRS-One, in his song “9 Elements,”: These elements are closely aligned with facets of my existing practice and have intersected with my philosophy, spirituality, or religious beliefs.

Emanationist monotheistic polytheism

I like to describe my practice of viadescioism as Emanationist monotheistic polytheism. Emanationist monotheistic polytheism is a philosophical view that combines elements of monotheism and polytheism while using emanationism to connect them both. It posits a single, ultimate source or principle from which multiple divine entities or aspects emanate. These emanations are considered manifestations or expressions of the one supreme […]

In viadescioism is it possible to be reincarnated as an alien?

In the event that extraterrestrial life exists, it is conceivable that Viadescioism would acknowledge the potential for transmigration to these beings.

This process does not necessarily entail the continuation of an individual’s personality or character, but rather the recycling […]

At its core, human existence is a fundamentally social one, and as such, individuals are inevitably part of a larger social, cultural and political context.

Imperfection holds a sacred significance in art, as it serves as a testament to the authenticity of the individual who created it.
