Here's what I'm up to now! It's from my blog. Adventure - what is it to you? Racing down the track in an F1 Ferrari? Heli-skiing in the Alps? Sailing single-handedly around the globe? Barehanded bull wrestling? Orbiting the earth in a NASA capsule? The ultimate adventure for me has always been and still is seeking to understand human behavior. In spite of our high spiritual ideals, religious teachings and incredible scientific advancements, I have found little change in the way we deal with each other over the years. In fact, human nature today appears not to have progressed much from the time of Cain and Abel. Why? - I wanted to know.

And of course, I am running out of time, my senses are failing me. This race against the ailments of old age turns my project into another exciting adventure. Will I get it all down before my life is over? Almost everything that I would like to share with you was already written down in my books, pamphlets and papers. However, all this wealth of information lacks structure, a path through the maze. So now I am going through all my writings, some that made its way into books,New Age newspaper columns, articles, class manuals, and others that are still on napkins and on the back of menus stuffed away in shoe boxes.
