JJ Simon is a visionary author whose work explores consciousness, perception, time, and the hidden frameworks shaping human experience. Drawing from psychology, metaphysics, neuroscience, and philosophy, he writes for seekers—those ready to question the visible, trace the unseen, and live with greater awareness.
After a profound psychological and energetic rupture changed the trajectory of his life, Simon emerged with heightened perception and a devotion to conscious living. His books challenge readers to engage with reality not as a fixed story but as a dynamic interface between the mind, the body, and something far greater.
Based in Alberta, Canada, he leads a deeply intentional life rooted in daily practices, reflection, and connection to

It arrived without warning, dismantled certainty, and left me standing inside a question that has yet to end. I’ve been tracing its contours ever since, and Humans Actuators of Time is one attempt to map that mystery.(less)

Why Time Feels Like It Flows

Time feels like it moves.
Not abstractly, but directly, like something carrying us from one moment to the next.
We feel it in urgency, in anticipation, in memory. We talk about it as if it flows: forward, continuously, irreversibly.
And yet, when you look more closely, that sense of flow becomes difficult to locate.
Physics does not describe time as something that moves.
Clocks do not detect a current. Read more of this blog post »

Before the Incal by Alejandro Jodorowsky

Philosophy does not always wear the robe of nonfiction. In Jodorowsky’s universe, satire, mysticism, and futurism collide in a way that is as chaotic as it is visionary. Reading Before the Incal is like glimpsing consciousness refracted through myth ...more

Quotes by JJ Simon  (?)

“Time continually shapes who we are—our memories, our present self, and our future hopes.”
JJ Simon, Humans Actuators of Time

“Time is both a concept we feel and a measurement we quantify.”
JJ Simon, Humans Actuators of Time

“The relationship between time and consciousness is deeply intertwined.”
JJ Simon, Humans Actuators of Time

“What an astonishing thing a book is. It's a flat object made from a tree with flexible parts on which are imprinted lots of funny dark squiggles. But one glance at it and you're inside the mind of another person, maybe somebody dead for thousands of years. Across the millennia, an author is speaking clearly and silently inside your head, directly to you. Writing is perhaps the greatest of human inventions, binding together people who never knew each other, citizens of distant epochs. Books break the shackles of time. A book is proof that humans are capable of working magic.”
Carl Sagan

“Time is both a concept we feel and a measurement we quantify.”
