CURRENT MISSION

Connecting with our Mother Earth through ceremony and experience.

ABOUT ME

I'm a student of metaphysics. I like the Law of One book. I love Terence McKenna's work, as well as that of Alan Watts, don Miguel Ruiz, Carlos Castaneda, and Daniel Quinn.

I'm 6 feet and 1-1/2 inches tall, a big guy, 260 pounds (though most guess around 220). Nonsmoker, social drinker, and 4 to the 20.

I was in the Army for a couple of years, and that brought me to Korea. I love that country. It's landscape and people are beautiful.

I spent 8-1/2 years in a strict Christian cult group. That was fun, even though it doesn't sound like it. We single brothers got to goof off a lot. The women had it a lot harder and that's partly what led me to leave the group. I believe in equality between the sexes.

I consider myself a very spiritual person who loves to experience new things. I am actually a very solitary person. I do best in small groups (usually 3 or 4). I am quite out of my element in a dance club.

PHILOSOPHY

Do what you love, no matter what other people's opinion of it is. Because you only have regret to look forward to if you do not. Plus: your life is completely your responsibility. There are no self-pitying victims in heaven.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Right now, I'm new to Couch Surfing. A friend of mine mentioned it to me when I told him about my intentions to moto across America. Looks like I'll be surfing for a little while!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

none so far

Interests

Discussing politics and religion (I'm opinionated but I also don't get offended when people disagree with me). Neo-tribalism. Permaculture. Eco-villages. Earthship houses. Talking with the Spirits, Tarot, Jungian psychology. Ascension ideology. Energy work, Orgonite, Reiki, that kind of thing. Crystals, indigenous spirituality. I'm not a fuzzy bunny type, but I have seen the power of having the right attitude, and it makes everything better.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I once printed a quarter million booklets in a week with 15 other people on a communally-owned web press.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can tutor ESL. I can smudge houses and perform exorcisms. I am a sovereign man on the land, and can teach you what that means if you are interested. I can even show you the door out of the funhouse and into the rest of the amusement park.
