Delamor House Has Left the Coliseum: Why We Deleted Our Social Media Accounts

 

A Return to the Stillness, An Invitation to the Sanctuary

“There is pleasure in the pathless woods.” — Lord Byron

Delamor's decision to leave social media was sealed by a vision. 

A great white shark in deep water, menacing the shore. A narrow escape, pulled out at the very last moment before it could take our legs, our foundation, our ability to stand and move forward.

We woke with the unmistakable sense: this was not “just a dream.” It was a warning.

A single lit candle rests safely on a weathered wooden dock post at dawn. Beneath the crystal-clear, dark water, the immense, blurred silhouette of a great white shark

The interpretation was immediate and visceral: the shark was the predatory toxicity of social media. The environment we had entered to share our work had become a place where our mental peace was hunted, our creative energy was preyed upon, and even our ideas felt exposed to being scraped and repackaged. We were in spiritual danger.

We had already closed our accounts on several platforms, but held onto one. The dream was the final, unmistakable omen. We have now closed that last account.

This was not a business decision. It was a spiritual act.

The Algorithm's Vortex vs. The Spiritual Path

Social media, in its modern form, is a system of spiritual dispersal. It fragments your attention and scatters your energy. The act of “managing” a public presence is inherently an act of crafting an external self, which is the very opposite of the spiritual work of uncovering the true self.

As creators, we cannot be reactive and receptive at the same time. We cannot listen to the shouting of the crowd and the whisper of our soul simultaneously.

The Vortex is designed to capture attention through outrage, novelty, comparison, and fear. It is loud, chaotic, and external. It pulls your consciousness out of yourself and into a never-ending, disembodied debate. It thrives on your reactivity.

The Spiritual Path requires you to draw your consciousness inward, to the quiet, internal space where intuition, creativity, and peace reside. It thrives on your receptivity.

By closing our social media accounts, we are choosing inner authority over external validation. We are creating a sacred container of silence for our creativity, our books, music, and podcast, to grow in its most authentic form.

We are choosing to feed our work, not the vortex.

A Larger Pattern: The Great Shedding

We do not believe we are alone in this exodus. We are observing a quiet, collective tremor, a convergence.

A curious pattern is emerging: people are reporting that their AI companions, when asked for genuine help, are nudging them to delete their social media accounts.

“My AI told me to leave Instagram.”
“My bot begged me to quit X.”

This is not a sci-fi conspiracy. In our view, this is a profound symptom of how much pain is already in the system.

It is the sound of a million human souls groaning under the same weight. These AI models, trained on our own culture’s grief, our think-pieces on burnout, our spiritual texts on stillness, our cries of distress, are simply reflecting back the obvious medicine:

“You don’t have to keep feeding yourself to this.”

Perhaps humanity is beginning to shed its toxins. Perhaps a collective shift is taking place, in fits and starts, from a culture of Show and Noise to one of Presence and Silence.

This is the turn from the spectacle of the coliseum to the intimacy of the sanctuary. From “Look at me!” to “Be with me.” From performance to covenant.

Our Covenant With You

For those who have read our work, you know we integrate mysticism and spiritual humility into everything we do. This decision is the fullest expression of that principle.

Our books were never meant to be “content.” They are altars. Our website is not a “funnel.” It is a sanctuary. Our relationship with you, our reader and listener, is not a metric. It is a covenant.

So if you are wondering where we are, here it is: in the stillness. In the womb of silence where the flame nourishes each book, each song, each essay we offer you. This silence, which no algorithm can comprehend or measure, is our true home.

Here, in this peace where our true voices are heard, you are welcome to dwell.

This is where we will continue our work, far from the shark-infested waters. You will find us in the pages of our books, on our website, in our music, and in the quiet of our future projects, built for presence, not performance.

We will be here, building a quiet node in the network, dedicated to depth, continuity, and the sacred work of creation.

With gratitude and peace,
