Journey objectives and itinerary
Vacation September—October 2008
Retreat | health-finance | get a grip—overcome my fear-inertia | get placed
Transformation for my life, death and journey in being
Enjoyment
Refine goals on the fly… lookup inspirational sources, maps… may change everything
Project
1. Hike, food,
sleep; adjust / minimize for maximum openness and health.
Everyday. Meditation, alertness, aerobic, flexibility, responses,
balance, kinesthetic precision
Journey in being—ideas-experiments
Project 2. Experiments. Ideas from manuscripts
Project 3. Ideas. Logic as perception—i.e. part of perception. Since symbol is at least potential perception, Logic is perception. What is desired, however, is (a) direct or at least more direct perception and (b) a simpler / perceptual proof of the existence of the Void andor fundamental principle. Approach. Just as the absolute Objects are an abstract and therefore empirical shell of perception, so Logic is the irreducible shell of Laws (perhaps reason) outside which Law cannot have reference—i.e., be empirical
Optional projects
Project 4. America / world / phase 3—action
Project 5. Reflect on phase 4. Theory, design, simulation, construction of a variety of being—physical, psychological, social, technological
People and places—enjoyment and placement
