In evolution. Personal evolution whether physically, mentally or spiritually, of our society into a more just and equitable one, as well as evolution of our species into something ... more. I extend that "hope?" to other species and to the planet/solar system/universe as well.

From that starting point, I'm a keen student of theoretical physics, philosophy, transpersonal psychology and esoteric religions, and I follow transhumanist-type technologies very closely.

Being at peace with myself.

Knowing I don't need the majority to approve of me in order to feel good about myself.

I place meaning in the fact that, no matter what, I will try to do the right thing.  This gains even more meaning when I know that there are a multitude of people around the world who feel the same as I do.


Thanks for asking, you hedonist.    :laugh:

Do you know if I can do what you do for a living?

Hmmm....I do not wish to "have" more, but I wish to "be" more, so for me it is always personal growth.

The number one (IOW...me, myself and I).  I can count on them anytime I want whenever I need to, and I know for a fact that they will always be there!  :P

Quotewhat means the most to you?
To be me, just me.  Without any complications or prejudges.

Quotewhat do you find security in?
A higher power.  There is something comforting in that.


I think that the best thing is to "Be All You Can Be", sums it up quite well.

I posted this on another thread earlier but I believe it fits quite well in this thread as well.

I am me just a different sex. Close, I am me, but now I am the right sex, the one that harmonizes mind soul and body. When the bell goes off nothing will stop one from becoming one with themselves. That's right, being you is no big deal, you are just being who you knew instinctively to be you, nothing more. Now I am who I am, just me. No brick wall or army could stop me from being myself. After one has made their peace with the inner-self it is like you go to sleep one night and you wake up as you, the true you. As you lay there it is as though the previous nights,*years,* of nightmare disturbed sleep fade away slowly from memory, like mist as early morning sunlight arises over the tree line.

There is no meaning.  There is only action, and the actor.

I am the actor.

Just be the best you you can be and the freedom to express who you are without fear of repercussion.

To grow, to experience as much as I can both good and bad. To peel back the veil of mystery of my world and try to understand what lies beneath, and to make the world around me better if only a little.

In my books, my writing, my friends and other people and in my work.
