DEPARTURE

I'm not a Renaissance man, I'm a Renaissance, Man!

The experience of eternity here and now is the function of life. Eternity is realizing the greater scheme of things, and being a part of it.

The influence of my imaginary peer group They, the anonymous no one, once told me, Growing up is optional but growing old isn't, as if my body were milk, with an expiration date stamped on the carton.

Half the agony of this kind of thinking is the waiting for that final birthday, where you hit the wall, and stop living. It is that very fear of dying, of playing it safe and secure that keeps risks in an acceptable range—like purchasing your freedom on the weekend, surfing in Manhattan Beach, or flying to Cabo for Spring Break.

Be careful when casting out the devil, Nietzsche says, because you are throwing away the best part. The Daemon, the DYNAMIC—and "They" are so against it, that they turned it into a DEVIL.

Advocating For The (Devil) Dynamic

My own powers of observation English chronology quite differently. The QUEST for my own Dynamite is in the questions. Ask better questions and you get better answers. What age would I be if I didn't know what age I was? Boom!

I am 20 with thirty-four years' experience.
I'm not just a dude. I'm Dyn-o-mite!

Aging for me is just a bad habit I blew up a long time ago in a science experiment. As I begin to compile what I've lived and learned, my career after my career can affirm LIFE "chi"/Energy and LIFE wisdom in this new ageless "age" I've accrued. I'm a Renaissance, MAN!

Life at (20+30) in Bangkok

"You can only quit the company once," I was told by the HR guy. The correct answer to that question is always, "Bangkok, Thailand, Sir." He just rolled his eyes and said, "The land of smiles. Say Hi to the elephants and Buddhas." I did. And the girls.

Life at (20+32) in Fiji

After 3 consecutive months at sea, days of the week suddenly become countries. I no longer run ON time, but run WITHOUT time in waves of probability. Some of my best material comes from that spaciousness—The Gap.

Life at (20+33) in Australia

REAL travel writing is about leading an interesting life and having a good time. It's less about where you go and more about who you go with or end up meeting along the way. Being There.

Life at (20+34) in Panama

Digital narcissism and singing my praises are over. No self/no enemy. When you get out of the way, you get more sublime. But you have to be a SOMEbody before you can be this NObody.

INITIATION

Two Roads Appeared - I Got Lost

The cave you fear holds the treasure you seek.

The dark night of the soul comes just before revelation. When everything is lost, and all seems darkness, then comes the new life and all that is needed.

Doing the Math, from Zero to Infinity

5 - 2 = 7

I am doing less yet BEING more. The fewer activities I DO, the higher the value I can generate for them.

1 + 1 = ∞

Motion creates an emotional algebra where environment creates mood. The future is already here, and evenly distributed.

2 + 2 = 5

The fuzzy logic in the superstition of materialism, that shared hallucination that says you MUST purchase freedom in a two week vacation.

Freedom = Free

It is not for sale. I don't attract what I want. I attract what I am.

RETURN

Sea Change - 20,000 Leagues Inside My Brain

The meaning of life—I Got One—the meaning of life is about the experience of realizing that your dreams have come true. That your make-believe world has become REAL.

My Sea Life as an Accidental Sailor, based on a true story, is downright paranormal. How the hell did I get here? Whatever talent I possess is most definitely on loan from some deity, some unimaginable source and force for some exquisite portion of time, to be passed on when I am finished.

Joseph Campbell's Wisdom

"All the time. It is miraculous. I even have a superstition that has grown on me as a result of invisible hands coming all the time - namely, that if you do follow your bliss you put yourself on a kind of track that has been there all the while, waiting for you, and the life that you ought to be living is the one you are living. When you can see that, you begin to meet people who are in your field of bliss, and they open doors to you. I say, follow your bliss and don't be afraid, and doors will open where you didn't know they were going to be."

— Joseph Campbell (1904 - 1987)

Thanks to Bill Moyers, and Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, the Doubleday editor, whose interest in the ideas of Joseph Campbell was the prime mover in the publication of The Power of Myth.
