I am not going to touch on the DSM directly here. However, I do have some cross-experience in a seemingly unrelated field, but is it?
For over ten years, I worked as a technical support specialist in a call center and seven years as a field service technician for a small wireless internet service provider. As a Diagnostician, I have seventeen years of experience if I combine the knowledge from those two jobs. The jobs involved troubleshooting cell phones, computers, network infrastructure, and people.
Over that time, several colleagues and I attempted to write a Troubleshooting manual for computer, cell phone, and network-related issues; oh yes, and let’s remember people. Have You seen our book? No, you have not; why is this? There were many attempts, but the book never made it off the many pages written. The reasons for this were simple: the possible scenarios were too numerous, and the classification of issues became too cumbersome on cross reference, as were the potential fixes. In short, the unwritten book to help fix the broken became broken. It was too complex in its working and lacked fluidity; it in itself lacked the reasoning power of the Human Brain. And then there was a need for future updates. Yes, the book idea broke.
In walks the DSM, a diagnostic aid for. Wait one minute; please see the previous paragraph.

Standing on the Ledge · Rebuilding from the Rubble
Lugh Sulian is a working name for a working moment.
This profile exists to hold Standing on the Ledge: Rebuilding from the Rubble—an ongoing, real-time record of what happens after collapse, when old rules stop functioning and new ones haven’t yet earned trust.
This is not myth reenactment.
Not spiritual bypass.
Not curated healing.
It’s a field journal from the threshold.
The name Lugh points toward skill, clarity, and responsibility carried with awareness. Sulian gestures toward sight—what can be seen when illusion drops away and pretending becomes too expensive. Together, they frame the posture of this work: to look clearly, act deliberately, and refuse to rebuild what already failed.
Through short-form video, spoken reflection, and long-form writing, this project explores:
Collapse without spectacle
Responsibility without authority
Burnout as a systems problem, not a personal flaw
Pagan cycles as lived practice, not aesthetic
Small fires instead of grand rebuilds
This space is intentionally unfinished. It documents:
Standing still without freezing
Moving forward without rushing
Learning from rubble instead of hiding it
Unplugged-Pagan.com serves as the grounding—seasonal awareness, ritual stripped of performance, and meaning built from experience rather than doctrine. Standing on the Ledge is one expression of that grounding, focused on the human cost of broken systems and the slow work of rebuilding integrity.
This is not a teaching platform.
It’s a shared watchpost.
If you’re here, you’re likely between versions of yourself—tired, alert, uncertain, and still standing. You don’t need answers yet. You need honesty, boundaries, and permission to move at the speed of truth.
No conclusions offered.
No certainty promised.
Still on the ledge.
Still watching.
Still working the rubble.
Godspeed.

Threshold work. Pagan-rooted, process-driven. Documenting collapse, clarity, and the refusal to rebuild what failed.
