  • IF YOU ARE SUBSCRIBED BUT NOT RECEIVING MY EMAILS…

    Dear Readers, I recently noticed that a significant number of you have subscribed to my blog but haven’t completed the final confirmation step. This often happens due to the email verification process or the WordPress account prompt that follows—both of which are standard parts of the system I use to manage subscriptions and keep your…

  • SELF-LOVE: EXCERPT FROM MY MEMOIR

    For this Valentine’s Day, I’m sharing an excerpt from a manuscript I’m currently working on. It begins with a simple, vital truth: every love that transcends time and space originates from the love we hold for ourselves. Before we can recognize a love that nurtures rather than diminishes us, we must first become whole within.…

  • NEW PROJECT RELEASE: Condozilla

    For years, I fought a battle I never asked for. It was quiet, exhausting, and fought in a place that I never thought that I’d step foot in: a courtroom. My parents own a condo, and the condo board got nasty. For months, it was my secret second job. Researching case law late into the…

  • Snowstorm EVP

    The Scene: We are currently in the middle of a massive snowstorm, with drifts reaching knee level. While I’d love to just stay cozy inside, the chickens don’t care about the weather! We had to literally dig our way to the coop just to feed them and change their water. The Discovery: While we were…

  • THE CHILD IN THE STONE HOUSE: A Gnostic Awakening

    In my twenties, a haunting vision during a meditative session led me to explore Gnosticism, revealing a dualistic universe shaped by a controlling Demiurge. The teachings of Jesus emphasized love and inner awakening, contrasting with a fear-based religious system. My journey culminated in understanding the Divine as pure love, guiding me toward spiritual liberation and…

  • RANDOM EVP

    While clearing out my desktop, I found this random EVP clip from 2021. It is one of those clips that I recorded with a scrambled sound sample of P’s voice running in the background. In this clip, he formed the words, “Push a button”. I wonder what the context of that was? Maybe he was…

  • My New Blog Home

    Hello there, I’m writing to you from my new blog. I’ve finally done it—I’ve migrated everything to a fresh WordPress install. I’ve been dreading this move for months, but it’s done. My old site was beautiful on the outside, but it was quietly crumbling behind the scenes. This new foundation isn’t perfect, and it doesn’t…

  • A New Beginning…

    Hi, it’s me, Andrea Mai. I’ve been blogging for over ten years, longer actually. I had a crafting blog when the word blogger became a thing. And now I’ve just revamped Artist Diary. It started as a blog to document my journey as a legally blind photographer. But things took an interesting turn when I…

  • WHY I DON’T BELIEVE IN REINCARNATION

    The author explores beliefs about life after death and reincarnation, rejecting the notion of a cosmic bureaucracy that recycles souls. Instead, they advocate for the idea of genuine freedom beyond the Demiurge’s design, emphasizing personal sovereignty. They find resonance with Gnostic teachings and assert that true liberation comes from recognizing one’s divine essence.
