Of Descartes and God — A Plane of Infinity

In this episode of Wanderings with Ashaley Koblah, the Cartesian plane becomes more than mathematics. Ashaley traces its beauty from calculus and spacetime to sacred scripture, pondering whether Descartes was not only a thinker of reason but a man moved by divine purpose. Between geometry and eternity, the heavens stretch out like gauze, and every star becomes a point in the divine equation.TranscriptWanderings with Ashaley KoblahEpisode 10: Of Descartes and GodTo those who can relate. In the quiet chaos of my embattled mind, free, for a moment, from the distractions of this ending world, a revelation came to me.We so often overlook just how revolutionary and ingenious the Cartesian coordinate system is, or what some might simply call the Cartesian plane. It allows us, intelligent sentient beings, to express the complexities of our universe in simpler, more manageable forms, whether we’re dealing with differentiable or non-differentiable functions, integrable or non-integrable ones, or even the abstract realms of number theory, probability, and the time dimension in spacetime geometry, which so often find surprising clarity when visualised this way.Many foundational ideas in calculus, like limits, find natural expression on the Cartesian plane. And from this perspective, I begin to understand, even if only in part, why mathematics makes such perfect sense and why it works so well in helping us interpret the structure of our natural world.Perhaps it’s because our reality, in some abstract sense, resembles a plane, a vast, conceptual space stretching from infinity to infinity.It strikes our wonder, like that of the precocious child who once wondered aloud and asked her teacher one of the most beautiful and profound questions:“What is bigger – our imagination or the universe?”I find myself imagining Descartes inspired not just by logic, but by the sacred, perhaps even by words like those in Isaiah 40:22:“He is stretching out the heavens like a fine gauze.”And everything in those heavens?Just vector points in space.Reflective interludeAs I read these thoughts aloud. I found myself pondering a quote I once came across. It struck me like a mathematical bell in the dark.For if each star is little more a mathematical point......It’s the idea that the stars, countless, shining, distant, are each just mathematical points. But taken together, they hint at something vast. Something whole. Something divine.To God, it may be one simple, singular equation. What Einstein would later capture as the field equations, governing spacetime, curvature, and the very motion of galaxies.It made me pause. Rene Descartes must have believed in God. And the more I searched, the more certain I became. He was not only a mathematician. But a devout Christian.And I could not be more convinced that he, too, was inspired by the sacred.By the simple yet staggering verse from Isaiah 40:22, He is stretching out ... Perhaps, in that moment, the Cartesian plane was not just a breakthrough but an act of worship.OutroIn the next episode...... Join me for Episode 11: A Beautiful Goodbye.

Wonder Woman - A Figure of Beauty

In this episode of Wanderings, Ashaley Koblah reveals a mirror held up to the glittering masks of our age. Figures who dazzle with ambition and charm, projecting hard work, discipline, and even virtue. But beneath the façade lies a hollow centre, a pursuit of glory that devours, a beauty that destroys. This is not only about the seductions of one woman but about an archetype: the hollow self, a person built on illusions, on borrowed words and borrowed light. She, like many before her, reaps what she did not sow. And in the end, her dazzle fades, leaving behind only emptiness.The Wonder Woman here is a cautionary tale, a beautiful facade collapsing under the weight of its own lies, stabbing itself with many pains. True strength does not lie in taking but in building. Not in dazzling, but in being real.TranscriptMain NarrativeYour strides, your strikes. They dazzle. Woe to you, Wonder Woman, for what you seek. Pleasures you want. You whisper, Please… I want.But what you sell, you do not know. Your promises are only echoes. Your words, imagination alone. You go to reap what you did not sow. You tear down what you did not build. Like a church preacher, you proclaim the words, give it me all your money, power, and glory. and all of you.You ask,Can I?Come — hold it, grab it, own it, and eat it whole. Devoured. Then you lead men to their destruction. And nothing is left for you. Wonderful Woman, but your aching, empty soul. Reflective Interlude“Wonder Woman” is a mirror held up to us all. A figure of beauty and brilliance, yes, but hollow, chasing shadows. She reaps what she did not sow. She tears down what she did not build. It is the tragedy of a life lived only to consume, to dazzle without depth, to shine without source. And yet, do we not see the same pattern in our world? Spectacle replacing substance, words without weight, power without truth.The preacher’s cry is there to warn us: when sacred language is bent for desire, it becomes not light, but fire. So the “Wonderful Woman” is not only her. She is us; she is the times we live in. She is the caution that beauty and brilliance mean nothing if they are built on sand. And so I leave you with this thought: what does it mean to be a hero in a world so quick to consume?OutroThank you for listening to Wanderings with Ashaley Koblah. If this poem stirred you, share it, reflect on it and carry the question with you.Until next time, keep wandering.

A God in the Wires - Baal

In this Passionate Cri de Cœur, Ashaley Koblah confronts the illusions we cling to about life, circumstance, and morality. Through a raw and reflective narrative, he challenges the cliché that someone “would love to be in your shoes”, exposing the weight of self-loathing, societal hypocrisy, and the search for validation in a digital age.From historical injustices to modern obsessions with technology, this episode explores the tension between human fallibility and the divine. A contemplative interlude invites listeners to look beyond mere survival and confront the deeper truths of existence.TranscriptMain NarrativeThat mindset, the idea that people would love to be in your “shoes” is an excuse to avoid confronting self-loathing. People say, “Oh, your situation is better; some would love to be in your shoes.” But would you truly want anyone in those shoes? Shoes so tight they’ve twisted your toes and cracked your toenails? Shoes that do not stretch? Please don’t wish my circumstances on anyone. Loathe yourself if you must, but don’t assume your circumstances are better or worse than anyone else’s. This world has no metric for an “ideal” person; we’re in need of salvation, contingent on the divine. It comes from aboveit is promised, undeserved.The world and its moral ideologies are warped. especially when executives and founders of colossal corporations imagine themselves the rebirth of Napoleon, Julius Caesar, or Marcus Aureliusno matter how you see and say it: great men, grandest of men, gods, idols, rock stars, geniuses? Men who, despite everything, were fallible and became etched in history because they pushed beyond the conventions of their time. They’re dust and ashes, lying bare at the mercies of the elements.On the other hand, so-called men of God sometimes subscribe to despicable things on the dark web. selling fallacious blessings, insisting we’re not evil.How long will you look to your fellow man who’s just a mist and, at best, dust and ashes when humanity craves validation through a three-dimensional rectangle of wires and circuits, kneeling to it like a god perhaps the reinvention of Baal? Do you forget the echoes from long ago? Know that man’s proclamations are illusions. Remember that slave trading ended only about two centuries ago; among the many justifications used, pigmentation was a predominant one. And women were treated as property. To conclude: if you believe in God, seek to know the mind of God by grasping His word. And I say to whoever comes to me:hold your peace and your wicked, twisted words; don’t come to me claiming I live in better circumstances than someone else. By what metric do you claim this, from the infallible viewpoint of the Maker of all things? Bury those abominable sayings, keep them to yourself, and pray in silent reverie, because the only truth is He. All else is corrupt and twisted even my own words and aching heart.
