About James Nerlinger

My spiritual path has been anything but linear. I began life in the Catholic tradition, but quickly grew curious about the many ways human beings have sought truth. That curiosity led me through the world’s great religions and philosophies, tracing their influence on cultures, history, and the human imagination. For a time, I became a devoted spiritualist, until I set those studies aside to live more fully in the world of man—only to find that world unsatisfying, and the deeper questions still calling me back.

Today, my journey continues with a focus on Judaism, Torah, and Kabbalah, while remaining open to wisdom wherever it is found. Along the way, I’ve wrestled with Aristotle and Plato, listened to Solzhenitsyn and Nietzsche, studied the Zohar and the Rambam, and reflected on insights from Asian sages whose words still echo across centuries. I’m told I am a contemplative phenomenologist with ascetic discipline (humor intended).

This blog is a place to share that ongoing exploration—a meeting ground for traditions, philosophies, and seekers. Not to offer final answers, but to kindle sparks: reflections meant to remind us that though the lamps may differ, the flame at their heart is the same.
