Bio

As far as I can discern, I am alive and corporeal, and have been since October 2, 1978. There is some undeniable reality to my inner senses, which accept with some degree of certainty that there is something more than meets the eye connecting, coursing through, multidimensionally interpolating and interpenetrating, and in some inexplicably complicated way, coordinating all that is around, and is, us.

I keep drifting away from the common pathways walked by other citizens of the U.S.A. through natural tendency and force of will. I feel cyclically compelled to reign myself back in order to function highly and respectably in a stimulating, but often soul-bereft, upper-class, private NY college, with the goal of paying my student loans and filling my belly.
~
In, of, and intermittently disassociated from the physical, psychological and spiritual realms manifested as such through reassembled signs within my sensory and thought-manifesting locus, I have been trying to syncretize that which is material, that which is currently too subtle to be understood as such, and an even more slippery third state which might be an alternation of the first two, so rapidly and imperceptibly changing as to become symbolized as a third possibility to my limited sensory and representational abilities.

Although this revisitation of existential questioning could be dangerously stroking the illusions of ego, and is admittedly selfish in time and energy, leading directly to no concrete altruistic benefits, it is my hope that through committing true energy and intention towards the purification and real understanding of our inner-worlds, that we may act and interact more fruitfully, and with less of the unconsciously implanted, alienating, and destructive behavioral models that our flawed societies, with progenitorial fervor, try force upon us.
