Manufacturing Dissent Since 1996
New interviews throughout the week

A slob's guide to understanding the vibrations of a nondualistic universe.

898jeffdorchen

We talk about something bigger than ourselves, whether it be a legacy of some kind, a family, society, even a cosmic destiny, but these things are fantasies. We talk about this much greater thing the way the ancients talked about atoms. In a silly, misinformed way. We are still the ancients, still making up quaint illustrations of worlds we have yet to discover.

In a vibe-heavy Moment of Truth, the particular arrangement of atoms we call Jeff Dorchen proposes a model of the universe involving prisms, couches, bowls of rice, economic toxicity, industrialized agriculture, messy rooms, the longness of time, ignorance, incoherence and the nondualistic smell of a rose.
