CURRENT MISSION

Having realised that less stuff means more freedom, I am trying to get my life in a rucksack...

ABOUT ME

I find the world and its creatures fascinating and decline to buy into the TV led fantasy that the world is a dangerous place...I have lived my life so far on the principle that experience is more useful than rumination... I can make a modest living with my projects mainly using email, internet and phone, so have the freedom to travel and work from anywhere...I like to discuss the meaning of life and keep unfolding my own meaning through engaging with the world...

PHILOSOPHY

My Self is mostly my own creation; then there is Oneness... how can I take my ego self seriously, when it is an illusion? Reconnecting with the One is the best part...
