2003 … Going where it Led
And then my Epiphany was finally received, and I somehow “knew” that it was finally time to set forth and Walk my Talk; that it was finally time to stop merely reading about Truth or wondering about Truth or speaking about Truth, and finally time to start Living Truth instead. I don’t know how I “knew” the same, and yet it became clear as crystal that it was time to begin “The Experiment” – that I was to spin Rebecca Jean’s globe, close my eyes, place my finger on it while it turned, fly to wherever it stopped, and use my life to radically test all of Life’s “Greater Truths” – to use my entire Being to push the limits of all the parables & maxims & platitudes I had ever been taught – to see which ones were flawed and which “held their water.” And so that is exactly what I did – I spun the globe, I closed my eyes, and I placed my finger on its spinningness. And it stopped spinning precisely on the Big Island of Hawaii, and so that is precisely where I went. I gave away or discarded most of my possessions, I bought a one-way ticket to Honolulu, and I leaped into “The Experiment” right away; by embracing one of my primary fears — consciously choosing to become a homeless resident of the Big Island, a truly magical place where I would live as a Faith-full philosopher for the next two+ years of my life …
