I would be remiss if I claimed to have accomplished everything that I wanted to in 2025, but I can say that I was able to comprehend a new level of the Tao despite (or perhaps because of!) not everything going to plan.
In another month and a half, the Sage transformation will be completed, as I combine the last 12 years of Ritual Power, manifesting in a metaphysical rebirth, as well as the Initialisation of my next Cycle. The elements involved invoke a deeper power, ancient magiques as well as space/time manipulations, which I attempted to substitute with alternatives, but realised that it’s better to not undermine the process. In the next month or so, there are still some things that require attention, and while I do not know if I have the strength to overcome all Unknowns, that’s part of the journey isn’t it?
But still, an end is also a beginning, so rather than dwell on things I have yet to face, though I must do so eventually, let’s look forward to my New Year’s Resolutions. I have been thinking about it, and each resolution has context:
● Organise my Self, home structure, and lifestyle so that I ascend the Cycle of Attachments. Eventually, I will achieve the freedom I have desired, and pursued, and be free of desire and pursuit, even amidst material settings.

● Doing what I love, such as karaoke, and more cosplays, the latter which I can catalogue on my newly created Social Media pages. I love dressing up, and being with other such people… I am a social creature, afterall, so I do miss the old networks that haven’t been maintained as life gets busier as we all get older. Already making headway, I have a ball event scheduled for mid March. ✨️

● Return to Junzi Arete. I stopped working on the Super Soldier Program a while ago, but I am invigorated and inspired to continue my research in developing Homo Superior.

● Be a better teacher to my students, a better Son and Brother. Emit a Calm and Stolid Presence under all my glitz and glamour. If possible, use my true face more often- in conjunction with my masks. All 3 of my Disciples need me at my best, and my family is better than ever, but I am still needed a while longer to ensure a smooth succession from our traumatic past.

● Complete my Black Friday Diploma, which will then branch into goals for my 40’s. (Eventually, this will move into the next phase of my plans).


● Resume my powers in my original Dark Arts skillset, such as Maskcraft and manipulation- For the Greater Good, of course. Armour isn’t a crutch if it’s used correctly.

● Writer more! I AM A PHILOSOPHER [SURGEON] xXX̌. This goal does mean that I work on completing more of my hiatus projects, but also that I hone my artisty and wordcraft.

I hope to express myself with greater perspicacity, to match my perpetual perspicuity, so that great stories are told, and Legends can be forged anew.
