The Long Arc of the Dark Night

When people meet The Zero Point Eclectic, they often assume it was built from inspiration.
The truth is: it was built from collapse.

In early 2020, when the world stopped, so did I. Coaching ended. Caregiving roles shifted.
Every external identity that once defined me fell away.

That was the moment the Dark Night began — not as despair, but as disassembly.

Through the next three and a half years I went back to school and became my own experiment: tearing down every false layer until nothing recognizable remained.
By late 2023, my system crashed completely — a true underworld descent where simply moving from bed to couch felt like wading through tar.
That was the death stage.

Then, slowly, the rebuilding began.
A new self took shape: Soul Doula, Eclectic Alchemist, Reverend, Architect.
The work of Kavi Apoha, Reality Check My Life, QFFC, and Mad Madame Gin Mercantile rose from that reconstruction.

2025 became the forge year — the Initiatory Fire that tested whether the new architecture could hold.
It did.
The crisis did not consume me; it tempered me.
And out of that tempering came a clear realization:

The Zero Point Eclectic isn’t a brand.
It’s the map of how light rebuilds itself after the dark.

Every page of ZPE carries that lineage.
It exists so no one else has to face their own unraveling without a lantern.
