Abiding the Unresolved
A Slacker Satanic Philosophy of Time, Ethics, and Endurance
Usually printed in 3 - 5 business days
Abiding the Unresolved is not a system, a belief set, or a call to belonging. It is an exploration of how to live with tension without turning it into a problem that needs solving.
Drawing from Aristotle, Taoism, Nyingma Buddhism, Qabalah, Hermetic alchemy, Gnosticism, postmodern Satanism, and a stubbornly relaxed Dudeist sensibility, this essay traces a philosophy of endurance rather than resolution. It treats uncertainty as structural, contradiction as ordinary, and clarity as something that arrives unevenly—if at all.
Slacker Satanism emerges here not as rebellion for its own sake, but as resistance to unnecessary pressure: the pressure to explain too much, to belong everywhere, to resolve what can only be lived with. Satan appears not as a villain or a hero, but as a figure of discernment—the one who notices when certainty has gone too far. The Dude appears as a corrective, reminding us that not every tension needs escalation, and not every question deserves urgency.
This is a philosophy for those who are tired of conclusions that feel dishonest, communities that demand agreement, and systems that promise peace in exchange for obedience. It offers no final answers, no identity to adopt, and no path to follow—only a way of standing in the middle of competing truths without forcing one of them to win.
Read it slowly, or don’t. Close the book when it stops being useful. Nothing here requires belief. The only invitation is to stop tightening what doesn’t need tightening, and to discover that sometimes the most ethical response is simply to abide.
