A Prelude

How this is going to go about (my take on the Art of Persuasion):

Make unprecedentedly bold claims.

In matters of the heart, instincts, nerves, feelings (gut feelings, etc.), & emotions; not just thoughts (not that thoughts aren't discarded entirely; far from it...)

Back them up with:

E x p e r i e n c e.

&

Rousing language, imagery (much subtle imagery), & some embedded videos. With referential links.

A 'message' with language that exceptionally surpasses the common parlances of cliches, narratives, & even conventional standards (without causing offense; appealing to known nomenclature).

I am laying to a Great claim!

I lay claim that I have a wider scope of recorded knowledge than anyone on the planet. I've checked the internet; information is fragmented, and definitive sources lack other findings & perspectives. My recorded body of cohesive knowledge is of great absolute objectivity.

I am looking to gain traction by acquiring fellow colleagues & by being a remote assistant for organizations in insightful research, analysis, marketing & strategy.

I have been a Software Developer for 15 years.

And for the last 15+ years; I have been on a deep journey of Learning all world cultures, philosophies, psychologies, religions, spiritual practices, music, sports, technologies, news, body language, etc., etc.

I have made hundreds of pages of journal entries & notes drawing from my personal experiences and referencing internet resources; articles & videos.

My Motto's:

DON'T JUST THINK. GET DEEP. LEARN DEEPLY.

ONENESS & SEPARATEDNESS.

In being Non-Dual; Oneness; not letting my pride & ego go out of control. And remember the significance of Separatedness. {integrity in Dignity <-> Pride., etc.}

My personal experience

has covered high's, mids, & terrible low's:

• from countless days & nights wandering
• intense engagement & Involvement in "street" culture
• intense engagement & Involvement in especially BOXING; Karate; soccer; & basketball
• professional formal activities such as working for businesses in my career
• worshipping at churches & get away from the church
• close & not so close communication with family
• subsequently & intermittently continued innumerable days of Wandering; being lost, hopeless, in deep reflection, introspection, journaling & referential note taking.

I have stories; my; do I have stories [I am planning to compile my journals into a personal autobiography].

I have paid the price for such a life; having been jailed & sent to the mental ward on 3 separate occasions. Being diagnosed with psychosis & schizophrenia by a psychiatrist. Going through the criminal justice system & courts; having spent thousands of dollars on legal defense & other expenses; not to mention the intangible costs; and rewards :) .

I have recently had epiphanies & revelations to the effect of synchronicities in minutia leading me to pour out writings of over 150 pages of journal entries & notes in a couple of weeks.

A Cursory Take on Psychiatry

Psychosis or Spiritual Awakening:

With extremely wide & deep coverage in the following areas, amongst others:

Archetypes, the dialectic; reciprocity, symmetry, synchronicity, dualities, dichotomies, cyclic dependencies, rhythm, the nature of love, the aesthetic, the nature of beauty, maxims, axioms, God, ethics, morality, consciousness, conscience, etc., etc.

And modes of "essence":

"From my experience, I have learnt that God is a perspective on the Infinite. Respectfully, a practiced perspective."

I'd like to achieve a universal consciousness. Mastery of Oneness (non-duality) AND of Separatedness.
I am 44 years old, and have 50+ years remaining on this life journey.

I hope that your reading my profile has been evocative for you.
