In this lecture, Christopher speaks of violence and conflict in the world and how the spiritual practitioner should approach this. Instead of laying blame, engaging in further divisiveness and aggression, we should instead examine our own tendencies towards conflict and anger, and wage war upon ourselves, engaging in the Great Battle Against the Self—Jihad al-Nafs. He spoke of cultivating peaceful and loving conditions within, which can in turn generate beautiful conditions in our environments and plant seeds of peace for future generations.

Battle Against the Self

Life Of The Party is where chaos meets clarity — a self-made soundtrack for anyone who’s ever laughed through pain, danced through doubt, and lit up a room they didn’t feel at home in.
Released in 2023, this was the start of Kardigan’s evolution — genre-blending, emotionally raw, and full of sharp storytelling.
From late-night thoughts to early-morning truths, this is for the misfits who still shine.

Whether you found it late or lived through it in real time… welcome to the party.

“Right In Front Of Me” is a song about the blind spots of the heart—the moments when love, truth, or purpose was there all along, but we just couldn’t see it. With stripped-down instrumentation and Tim Cooney’s trademark emotional vocals, the track gently asks: What if what we’re searching for is already here?

Part of The Journeyman soundtrack, this song is both confession and revelation. It’s for anyone who’s ever missed the obvious because they were too caught up in the noise of longing. It’s a reminder to slow down and see what’s been waiting for us all along.

What's Right In Front of Me

Right In Front Of Me

(I'm so right in the wrong, I'm so far might be gone, in this bottle I roam, I just wanna find my home)

I see my foes, and I feel my woes
I'm running away from the cons and pros
I don't want nothing wrong with me
but that does not seem to be reality
struggling with everythingin the dictionary
life is getting scary, 
I've been balled up in my own head for so long
I don't even know how to make a conversation long
I'm so right in the wrong, I'm so far might be gone, 
in this bottle I roam, I just wanna find my home

(my home, my home, 
my ho----me hoo---^----me)

I've tried and tried, just to watch myself fail
I wanna lie, but I know I'll be in hell
all that guilt, bottles up in me
regret is my biggest enemy
I don't wanna feel this envy
but I know its just a part of me
I can't even keep my own sanity
so how can I help the others around me

I see my foes, and I feel my woes
I'm running away from, the cons and pros
I don't want nothing wrong with me
but that does not, seem to be reality
struggling with everything, in the dictionary
life is getting scary, 
I've been balled up, in my own head for so long
I don't even know how to, make a conversation long

(I'm so right in the wrong, I'm so far might be gone, in this bottle I roam, I just wanna) find my home

Your New Playlist | Bradley Hamilton

"Late Night Thoughts" is a raw, emotional track that blends melodic rap with haunting lo-fi trap beats, inspired by the introspective style of Juice WRLD. The song dives deep into feelings of heartbreak and mental struggle, offering a vulnerable glimpse into the mind of someone caught between letting go and holding on. With a smooth, autotuned vocal delivery, the lyrics explore themes of self-reflection, emotional pain, and the quiet chaos of late-night thoughts. The atmospheric piano loops and subtle 808 drums set a dreamy, melancholic tone, while the reverb and delay effects create a sense of distance and isolation. The song’s repetitive chorus serves as a cathartic release, symbolizing both the weight of the past and the strength to overcome it. This track is for anyone caught in their emotions, searching for solace in the silence of the night.
