There's more???
Just kidding...I have spread out my studies over a broad range, as my parents taught me to. As a kid I was rather spacey, did a lot of artwork back then, later I got into role-playing and video games. At 16 I was tired of all the fighting in my life, so I determined to master the martial arts, I began with Kung-fu, but after it got tested in a real street fight, I decided to learn something else...not that I lost...I simply broke my fist on the other guys head (I was surrounded by 30 people...scared to the gore), so I later strayed into Kajukenbo while attending a community college.
I dived into it, exercising 8 hours a day. A friend of mine got kicked out by his girlfriend and I agreed to let him stay at my place only if he trained with me for 2 hours a day. He learned a lot from me in those 6 months...so did I...
Because I wanted to be the best I could, I looked at those who where considered masters and learned from their words and examples. When I read many times over how important philosophy is to martial arts, I began to buy books about philosophy. The studies triggered a change in my mental make-up, and I began to gather any information I could from any source I could, sorting it out as I went along.
Around this time I also got into Buddhism and both studied and practiced with the intent of embracing the wisdom of it. I screwed up a lot too, did a lot of things I don't regret, but others might. I have no regrets, because I can't be certain which of the many experiences I had where needed to get to where my mind is today, and which weren't.
Later on I went to earn a degree in the field of architecture, and around this time I met my wife. After school, I kept studying and studying, gathering what I could. How does one cover all that territory? So much...
I was a troubled student during my early years, and after getting into so much trouble, the school board decided to test my mind out, to see if there was something wrong with me. They called up an expert, who took me out of my class room and conducted a test. While I tested either slightly above average or above average on most of the regions within the test, at one part I did something he never saw before, it involved geometrical puzzles. He was shocked and amazed- and I didn't really care at that age. Looking back, I find the whole thing interesting.
One in a billion...the school suddenly came at me with renewed interest, and every teacher I had tried to motivate me to make good use of my mind. The state paid for further examination and I was soon meeting with a professional psychologist once a week for the next two years. At our last meeting he gave me a book...Chaos, by James Gleick.
Twelve years later I read it. It blew my mind and opened up new awareness, I could no longer look at anything the same way before. I began seeing patterns everywhere...all the same fundamentally, and as I studied further the Mayan time system shortly there after I began seeing possibilities too good to ignore, at this time the Mind Portal appeared in my mind...there is of course more to it then that...
I will condense: sex, philosophy, math, physics, metaphysics, religions, biology, chemistry, macrobiotics and cooking, tantra yoga, time systems and calendars, psyche and psychology, consciousness, history, sports and martial arts, music and singing, art, mythology, architectural systems, psychic studies, poetry, computers, technology...these things and still more I learned of, gathering from those who put much time into their work...to save time so I didn't have to.
At this point my primary interests are the reason for studying other fields, to look for connections and tie things together...trying to get a bigger picture. Those primary regions of interest are: time systems and chaos, consciousness, and exceeding human limits.
And all this ultimately is because I am a sex driven maniac...as I see all this knowledge leading to better sex...which is the deepest rooted interest and desire there is (Freud was right!). What are the possibilities...??? Do we really know? No...we can only know what is within our scope, our range of knowledge. For example: supposing one is born and taught that sex is evil...flesh is impure and all that garbage talk...how could they even begin to consider the possibilities? How could one possibly know of Tantra Kriya yoga if they are born during the Victorian ages when sex was a hush hush embarrassing topic (they should be embarrassed that they were embarrassed about sexuality!).
Why would I eagerly seek to increase my own freedom, my own range of possibilities? Somewhere else someone else asked if they could score with space chicks...they have the right idea (though they could of stepped it up even further)!!! Underlining our thoughts there is a very powerful sex drive, anyone who denies this becomes unhealthy and possibly dangerous to others as they try to espouse their distorted views about.
Thats a little bit more...
And...underlining the Mind Portal as well is this desire...I simply haven't bothered to clarify this anywhere in great detail yet. It would take time.
It all ties into where we come from...and how (hint hint...what our parents did that resulted in our living). Maybe I should simply say...THE BIG BANG!!!
Hopefully this makes sense...
