• Redemption and Transcendence – reconstruction of the divine reality consumed in the abyss; the rebirth of meaning from nothing; recognizing the process; the circular nature of our reality; accepting Truth into his very being




A look into “GO:OD AM”

Mac’s album “GO:OD AM” is the story of his journey towards enlightenment. It describes his pursuit, and eventual discovery, of truth.

The title of the album is meant to translate to “God morning.” This means that his “God,” also known as truth, had finally awoken.

The split in GO:OD represents him looking in the mirror of self-reflection. A realization that he was not separate from truth, but an expression of it.



A look into “The Divine Feminine”

• To form a true relationship, both beings must exist in balance ->
• assuming Mac was worthy of a relationship with “the divine feminine,” then to maintain balance, he must fulfill his equal role (i.e. “the divine masculine”
• “Will she accept me as a deity?” – “Festival” from GO:OD AM
• The masculine aspect of being is far more physical than the spiritual/emotional nature of the feminine
• The Divine Feminine embodies the more intangible aspects of the relationship (*need to come back for examples*) – “Love”
• On the other end of the spectrum, the divine masculine embodies the physical aspects of the relationship
• A few physical aspects are things like providing for the physical needs (e.g. Safety, shelter, comfort, etc)
• However, the very obvious focal of the divine masculine for Mac is sex -> obviously to the point of unhealthy obsession – “Lust”
• Although sex is potentially the peak experience of physical reality, it is able to bridge the divide between the physical and the emotional/intangible
• Unchecked lust can disrupt a balanced relationship of pure/genuine love
• A love born from lust will leave feminine aspects in disarray.
• But a lust born from a genuine and true love will consume the masculine aspects entirely in neglect and perversion
• I have experience with “a lust born from love.” You begin as equals, but as your obsession with “the divine feminine” grows, your interest in maintaining “the divine masculine” fades -> you no longer desire to improve yourself, because you are also at your goal
• The Divine Feminine demands her equal, the divine masculine. A queen deserves a king; a goddess can only be experienced by a god.
• The atrophy of the divine masculine eventually leads to a loss of transcendence; a fall from ascension
• In the moment, the masculine loses its divinity. It becomes unfit for the divine, so the divine feminine rightly leaves
• The masculine fails to be an equal, reverting back to a lesser existence. Your life no longer has its original meaning, because all meaning was lost to the lust of the divine feminine
• A goddess does not want a pedestal; she wants a partner; someone to accompany her on their life’s journey towards their goal, not someone who sees her as the final goal -> something that is no longer possible due to the corruption caused by unchecked lust and obsession
• The masculine no longer supports the feminine, but acts a burden in its attempt to keep hold -> with no self-inspired desire for improvement, keeping hold means preventing the other’s growth rather than growing with them
• When the divine feminine leaves, the reality of fulfillment built around the obsession for her implodes; nothing remains in the empty abyss known as a fallen divine other than an unobtainable obsession and a resentment for a reality devoid of all meaning.
• The heart dies, and with it so does the pursuit of happiness







*waking up to the sunrise –
a day of eternity
realizing the sun must set

The darkness is as true as the light
