The practitioner sees something mysterious, announces its meaning and waits for the client to gasp.

The real work is messier.

The client may bring the piece that makes an insight legible or tell me, plainly, that I am wrong.

I need to be able to stay for either.

Before one session, a dragon became a battered old teapot.

In another, I gave a client an answer that was simply wrong.

Both stayed with me.
Psychic insight can arrive with startling precision, and the interpretation still passes through a human mind -mine.

Part Two of From Source Intelligence, When Steam Finds Its Shape, is now live.

Before one session, I received a psychic insight in which a dragon became a battered old teapot.

I understood pieces of it. Taken together, I had no idea what the bloody thing meant.

Part Two of a Six-Part Series, From Source Intelligence, is coming [OCTOBER 4].

It is about what happens between an insight and the meaning we give it, including the part only the client can bring.

The question I keep coming back to after writing this piece is not whether AI will become more capable.
It will.
The question is what happens to us while it does.

Do we become more curious? More discerning? More capable of thinking for ourselves?

Or do we slowly surrender capacities we barely noticed we were giving away?

That question sits underneath AI, Existential Dread, and Not Hiding Under a Rock.

I went too far down the AI rabbit hole again. Go figure!
This time I came back with questions about human maturity, data centres, water, Atlantis, Source Intelligence, Dorothy’s ruby slippers, critical thinking, and what happens when the answer arrives before we have had a chance to find ourselves inside the question.

This is a long one. Deliberately.
AI, Existential Dread, and Not Hiding Under a Rock is now live.

If you’re trying to work out how to live with this extraordinary technology without handing over the parts of yourself you still need, come read it.

Sometimes grief isn’t only about missing someone.
It's about remembering the message you meant to send.
The conversation you didn’t know was the last one.

The moment you felt the knock and didn’t quite open the door.

I wrote about my friend Sue, who died before I knew how close the end was, and what her death has stirred up in me about intuition, love and the ways we armour ourselves when another goodbye is coming.

If you’ve ever looked backwards after a death and wondered what you missed, this one may find you.

My friend Sue died on August 16.
I found out two weeks later.
We had spoken shortly before she died.

We talked about death almost casually, because that was who we were together.
I thought of her repeatedly afterwards and kept meaning to reach out.

I didn’t.

This piece is about that haunting. About intuition, grief, armour, unfinished exchange, and the ordinary conversation that becomes the last one without telling you.

It also contains a tiny Devon Rex named Elfred, a standard poodle Sue found for me in about thirty seconds, and a woman who would absolutely tell me I’m being ridiculous for writing any of this.

It’s published now.
Come read it.

My friend died two weeks before I knew. What has stayed with me is the last ordinary conversation, the message I didn’t send, and the uncomfortable question grief left behind.

09/11/2026

A friend of mine died, and I didn’t know.
What unsettled me most was realizing I had been feeling her around the edges of my awareness for days. Thinking of her. Almost reaching out. Then life kept getting in the way.

I’m writing about the part of grief that doesn’t fit neatly into regret, especially when you are someone who trusts intuition for a living.

And underneath all of it is one question I still can’t answer cleanly:
Did I love her enough?

In case you missed this one, it is a long rabbit hole.
I’m asking what happens when our technological capability starts outrunning our human maturity, and I took some of the harder questions directly to Source Intelligence.

The answers involved a Wizard, ruby slippers, and remembering where home is.
