Hi. I’m Adrian - find me online as adicheo.
I am a skeptic who believes in magic. I am a pragmatist who loves poetry. I am a builder who understands that sometimes, the most productive thing you can do is sit still and watch the rain.
For a long time, I tried to fit my life into separate boxes.
-
The Professional Box: The part of me that loves logic, systems, spreadsheets, and “getting things done.”
-
The Spiritual Box: The part of me that loves philosophy, meditation, nature, and the weird synchronicities that science can’t explain.
-
The Creative Box: The part of me that just wants to play, make jokes, and disrupt the status quo.
The problem was, whenever I was in one box, I had to lock away the others. I felt fragmented. I was successful on paper, but I felt like a machine with a missing part.
The Mindgarden is my attempt to break the boxes and merge them into a single ecosystem.
Why “The Garden”?
In the tech world, we talk about “The Cloud.” It’s sterile, invisible, and efficient. But humans aren’t cloud servers. We are biological. We have seasons. We need roots.
A Garden is the perfect metaphor for a sovereign life because it requires two opposing forces to survive:
-
Structure (The Fence): You need logic, discipline, and protection. Without a fence, the wild animals eat your harvest.
-
Life (The Soil): You need chaos, organic growth, and patience. You cannot force a tomato to grow by shouting at it. You have to nurture it.
This site is where I document my experiments in balancing these forces.
My Toolkit
I don’t have all the answers. I am not a Guru. I don’t have a “Ten Step Course” to sell you. I am just an observer—a Navigator trying to make sense of the modern world.
My tools are a mix of the ancient and the modern:
-
I use Logic Air to cut through the noise of the internet and find the signal.
-
I use Magic Water—intuition and psychology—to understand the human “source code” beneath the surface.
-
I use Play Fire to keep from taking this simulation too seriously.
-
I use Blueprints Earth to build real wealth and health, so I have the freedom to say “No.”
The Invitation
Think of this site as an open-source library of my best discoveries. Some posts will be technical. Some will be philosophical. Some will just be me ranting about how to reclaim your attention span from the algorithm.
Take what is useful. Discard what isn’t. You are the gardener of your own mind. I’m just here to share some seeds.
Welcome. Close the gate behind you. It’s quieter here.
