"The false self can function. But it cannot live."
What if the emptiness you feel isn't personal failure but a symptom of corrupted systems that strip life of meaning?
In Beyond Our Masks, Jarp chronicles his raw unraveling: from childhood trauma and religious indoctrination to midlife collapse, dismantling the false identities that kept him functioning but not alive. What emerges is a profound framework for reclaiming coherence, the felt alignment of who we are, what we do, and why it matters.
At its core is the triadic process: the natural rhythm of transformation that powers everything from biology to culture to self. Yet this "factory of meaning" has been hijacked by Ledgerism, a viral logic that turns experiences into debts, relationships into transactions, and societies into endless loops of extraction.
Blending memoir, philosophy, and systems thinking, Jarp exposes how this corrosion infects religion, economics, education, and love, then maps pathways toward restoration. Not through revolution, but through reclaiming the furnace: the messy middle where raw experience transforms into lived meaning.
This isn't doctrine or self-help. It's a lens, offered in good faith, for anyone sensing the fracture between appearance and reality.
Light your furnace. Reclaim your agency. Discover what coherence might become.
