CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME
For 19 years I was quite unaware of who I was and what the world was all about. I was, after 12 years of schooling, let out into the world and since then I've started to find myself in this mess. I've traveled the world as much as I can and can afford and its been the biggest lesson of my life...Ive become a extreme relativist with a touch of extreme universalism....a good combo i believe.
I try as much as my ego allows me to be open minded and listen to people...I wanna learn from other peoples experiences and hear their stories....I thrive on others wisdom and words.
I enjoy long evening chats on a balcony with beer and listening to music and watching the world go by....and I enjoy very much to put actions to my words and do art and expand my own consciousness as well as others.
PHILOSOPHY
Question everything!
Wu wei: the way we see the way.
Walk your talk.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
When I was 20 years young I got on a plane, left my whole life behind and went to Cuba. I didnt know the language, didnt know much about the country, didnt know any one there...It was the first time Ive ever felt alone and vulnerable...and it is when I learned who I was out side the collective of family, friends and state....and it turned out to be the best thing I ever done. I started a new life there and then and I have never returned to the comfortable life of ignorance.
Teach, Learn, Share
Through a open dialog I think we all can learn from each other.
There is a current problem in discussions and other forms of dialog cause people instead of listening wait for their time to speak...
I guess I have some knowledge in History, culture, psychology, human relations, world relations, activism...
I learn new things all the time and when I do I become increasingly aware of how little I know...and maybe that I dont know anything....I think I understand a few things though...
