One of the reasons I returned to this area was to check out the rig of one of the people who inspired me to become a nomad. Nearly two years ago I came across Randy’s website. What caught my attention was that he had converted a cargo trailer into a stealthy RV trailer. Since he was in the northwest and I’ve been considering “downgrading” to a more stealthy vehicle, I invited myself over to check out his rig – to which he readily agreed, even though he knew nothing of me…

I’m back at my boondock spot on Mt. Hood (Oregon). I’m here for a couple of reasons: There’s a fellow nomad in the area whom I want to meet and check out his rig; I want some isolation to ebook-tize my other books; and I want to figure out my next steps without distractions.

Though it’s been less than a month since I was here before, a couple changes are apparent: It’s quite a bit colder; all the flowers in this shot are gone; and there are a lot more birds about. Funny how quickly a tiny clearing changes.

I’ve finished the second draft of, tentatively titled, A Simple Explanation for Everything. Since the first draft, I’ve probably added about five or six new chapters with an additional 25% to the word count.

HDI theory, this “simple explanation for everything,” eloquently explains some of the greatest mysteries in modern science: the Big Bang, Dark Matter, Quantum Entanglement, etc. But I debated back and forth on whether I should include a section on how HDI theory also explains the mystical: the Human Soul, Reincarnation, Spirit, etc..

Basically, I had to figure out who my target audience was.

The smart choice would have been to break it up into two books, one for the scientific type, and one for the spiritual type.

I, being the stupid type, have opted to target both – unifying the physical with the mystical.

This is a terrible marketing move, but, as I’ve said, I’m the stupid type and really don’t care.

I had never been to The Grotto before – never even heard of it before yesterday. As it turned out, it is place of retreat for friars and nuns of the Servite Order within the Catholic Church. Very peaceful place. I wasn’t struck dead by lightning or anything, which quite frankly kind of surprised me.

Seriously though, if you’re in the area, stop by. It’s a very peaceful place for reflection.

I’ve finished the first draft of the book I mentioned a bit back. Need to expand on some topics, create some illustrations and maybe a video or two. Haven’t decided on a title yet, “HDI Theory: A simple explanation for everything from the Big Bang to the Human Soul” – something like that.

Probably moving on to Portland tomorrow.

Happy Mother’s Day Mom! Sorry you raised such a forgetful idiot.

Love You!

I’ve finished with the project that I’ve been working on for the last couple of months: CareCause. CareCause is a holistic approach to helping charities by creating “branded” charity support sites for sponsors. For as little as $10 $5.00 a month, a sponsor (anyone with a blog, website, or even a Facebook page) gets two charity support websites imprinted with their name and logo (Example 1 – Example 2).

To reward my blog readers, for the next six days (deadline Friday 3/27/09), I’m giving away free 1 year memberships. Here’s how…

I’ve been feeling the need to be near water. Since I had to move my rig to get my propane tank refilled, I used the opportunity to return to Lake Pleasant.

Below are a couple of nice emails I’ve received in the last few days. Used with permission…

I’ve made a lot of changes to the blog. Please check it out and let me know if you see or have any problems with it.

I’ve spent yesterday and most of today upgrading WordPress (the blog software) playing with plugins, changing the layout, etc. Still want to add some new tabs across the top and re-write a few of the info pages yet. I know I’m speaking Comp-nerd-ian, but you get the point.

The blog should look like the image below the break…

I’ve been here in Catalina State Park for two weeks now. That’s the longest most parks allow you to stay and fits in well with my nature. Two weeks is usually long enough for me. I checked out some BLM locations yesterday, so maybe I’ll do a little boondocking starting tomorrow.

In regards to my focus – I’ll be making a few changes here and there…

(more…)

As I mentioned in yesterday’s post, I’ve been waiting for my focus to clarify. What I want, need and feel I’m supposed to be doing. I set my mental alarm clock last night for 6 am, and at 6:01 this morning, my focus became clear…

I’ve been contemplating my “focus” over the last few days. What I should be focusing my attention on. What my message should be. What direction I want to take my work. 2008 was full of changes for me, a lot of things happened – and in a lot of different directions.

I hope to find more clarity of purpose in 2009, to open up to the stillness and allow more flow and harmony into this strange and nomadic life.

I arrived in El Paso, TX yesterday evening. Paid for a week so I could have some time to explore the area. This morning, I walked into Juarez, Mexico (and “no,” Mom, I didn’t see a single drug cartel or gang member). Very nice people. Strolled down to the local outdoor market to get a feel for the flavor of Mexico. Very cool. I only wish I was eating as I love mexican food. Oh well. The above shot is of the Guadalupe Mission.

For more on the juice fast, see my notes after the break…

The boondocking in the desert has revealed a couple little problems with the RV, so I’ve spent the last few days doing maintenance and upgrades. I’ve also run out of fresh water in my holding tanks so it looks like I may be moving on tomorrow.

I’ve fixed two water leaks, swapped out my old house battery which wasn’t holding a charge any longer and added a new stand-alone house battery, inverter and battery charger to give me a bit more time without having to use the generator so often.

All of these problems weren’t apparent until I was operating in self-contained mode, so it was a good experience.

Just above my campsite, in the middle of the high mountain desert, is this mysterious box. Yesterday, as I was hiking back down the hill from my morning meditation, I saw a man poking around inside it…

This is a photo by Doug Coone, whom I’ve been staying with for the last couple days. They got some snow up here in Alabama while I was down in Florida. You can see my RV experiencing her first snow.

Today I’m heading out for parts unknown. West, but unknown.

The entire family got together yesterday at my folks place in Palm Bay, FL – a belated Thanksgiving. It was great to see everyone again. I’m already starting to receive some “Thank-You” donations for the Past Life Recall download I released the other day. The little “ding’s” from Paypal sending a notification to my inbox feels like the ringing of a bell when an angel gets their wings from “It’s a Wonderful Life.” It’s a nice reminder that people are really getting something out of my work.

Staying in Savannah, GA tonight. Will take some photos tomorrow morning and get them posted ASAP.

I stand at the end of the dock, listening to the rain hit the water. Except for a few ducks, I have the lake to myself. Smarter folks than I are sheltering in their cars and campers…

I’m looking for some beta testers to try out my new Past Life Recall Guided Meditation audio file.

All I ask is that you commit to listening to the recording (11 minutes) for at least three times over the next three days and give me your feedback.

Interested? Then contact me and I’ll send you a link to the download page.

I’m hanging out near Charleston, SC for bit. Not so much because I’m attracted to the area, but because I’m coming to the end of this phase of Act IV and I have a few more things to do before I head out West…

Yesterday, I had the towing stuff installed on my Jeep and RV. Towing the Jeep back to my campsite was surprisingly effortless. Other than a little slower acceleration, you hardly know it is back there. This will work out well as I’m really enjoying the Jeep.

Sold my NEW motorcycle yesterday after only 12 hours on Craigslist. Bought this OLD ‘97 Jeep the same day. A beater: torn top, rusty undercarriage, almost 100k miles – but it’s fun to drive and feels right. I used to own a Jeep, same year even, but it was new and that takes all the fun out of owning a Jeep. I like this one better. Now I have to throw some more $$$$ into making her tow-worthy – but it’ll be worth it.

PS: Good luck Mr. Obama. It’s not about the economy, or health care, or taxes – these are all just natural and temporary cycles. Think about your old friends: I once decked my buddy Doug because of some girl whom I hardly remember, but what was far more important was our friendship. I helped him up, wished him well with her and we got back to drinking. I have no clue where she is now, but Doug’s still my best buddy.

What’s important in American politics is not the temporary issues, it is the way we get along with the rest of the world – with our friends.

So far in my travels, I’ve only met retirees living a full-time roadie life. They look at me kind of like you look at someone high up on a tight rope – with a bit of awe and a feeling that this guy has got to be crazy to do something like that. Knowing that after you die you come back, definitely takes away the fear of failure. I couldn’t live the life I’m living if I was concerned about the possible outcomes.

The Implications of the Soul is now available as a free download. Enjoy!

I awoke around 2 am last night and couldn’t get back to sleep. Among many of the things on my mind, is that I want to refine the technique I use to recall past lives. So, rather than fret about all the plates I have in the air, I went ahead and practiced – what should I call it – Soul Breathing? – whatever. Within ten minutes I found myself in London, circa the early 1600’s…
