No further action for Journey in Being


OBJECTIVES FOR MY LIFE

…fundamental objectives and ultimate being

My life – what is real and fundamental… risk, give and do all it takes. . What Next – where, what, how: place – lovely, people; what – fundamental objective, challenging professional work, time in nature… work/grant/other support… Contact – unconscious and pre-language, charisma, my life – an experiment. Love, ideas, nature…

Review “superlist” – Central Design and Planning [html] – minimize it, ask “What is essential?” All theory, experiments and planning to be reduced to simple essentials – by excision and integration

Notes: CD&P – above, and the following – the core of Journey in Being. I will take only selections. The essays are placed where most suggestive but are pertinent across divisions

OBJECTIVES FOR THE JOURNEY IN BEING

…review, reflect and write on the following

FUNDAMENTAL OBJECTIVES… BEING

FUNDAMENTAL OBJECTIVES… IDEAS
