About — Journeys of a Rational Mystic

Why this site exists

Journeys of a Rational Mystic is a space at the crossroads of reason, myth, and lived experience.
It’s about unlearning, clarity, and practice — not performance.

My story

I’ve spent my career as an engineer, entrepreneur, and software architect — building systems, companies, and solutions.

Now, in my sixth decade, after a major life reset, I find myself drawn to questions I had long postponed:

• What truly matters?
• How do I want to live the rest of my life?
• What does it mean to live with clarity, purpose, and inner freedom — especially after the structures, identities, and scripts I once relied on have fallen away?
• What does exploration truly mean?

What I’ve come to discover is that life isn’t a story of seeking more.
It’s a story of unlearning — letting go of mental models, accumulated concepts, inherited beliefs, and spiritual marketing funnels that promise easy transformation for a fee.

For me, growth has begun to look more like subtraction than acquisition.
Less like self-improvement, and more like remembering what’s already there beneath the noise. What has always been.

I write to clarify, to understand, not to convince.
To practice discernment.
To share my unfolding journey — and above all, to learn from fellow travelers walking their own paths through this noisy, beautiful, complicated world.

My essays aren’t about teaching or building a brand.
They are about practice — about sādhanā — and one man’s experiences on this path.

If you’re walking a similar path — or simply curious — I’d be honored to have you along for the journey.
