veryone who lives owes it to humanity to report on what it's like to be a human being -- in one's own particular body, telling one's own particular truth. The Internet now provides the medium, the opportunity -- and the obligation. Here begins my report. It contains works both published and unpublished and will, eventually, cover the wide range of my experience and studies. First the studies: Beginning in 1996 as an Access Student at the University of Washington, I have indulged a passion to study everything under the sun, the moon, the galaxies, within and beyond the walls and voids; the earth, its mantle and its core, as well as its inhabitants, their thoughts and writings both Eastern and Western. (It is interesting that we in the Western World never speak of world knowledge as Northern or Southern.)
