So, this is my last post for a while. I’m taking a big trip and will be back near the end of March. It’s for a side project and also just to get out of here. It’ll be a real adventure this time– Himalayas and desert, jungles in the northeast. It’ll be my first time in Nagaland, a place I’ve wanted to go for years, and I’m thrilled to finally be going.

My liquids and gels are in 3.5oz clear containers in a 1 quart baggy.

“Baggy” is impossible to say seriously.

I probably won’t be able to update much at all while I’m gone, so you might have to wait for a big overload of pictures and stories when I get back.

Thanks for checking in these last few months. It’s sort of neat to think back to when I was completely incapacitated with a broken back disc and now be backpacking at 20,000ft just a few months later.

So, wish me luck, I leave extremely early tomorrow morning. Here’s the basic map of activity for March:

Plus four recovery days in Dubai.

Insist on the conditions for the emergence of truth in yourself. Act in accordance with your highest level self and experience the satisfaction of understanding it. If we are to discover higher truths, the only way is for us to be able to look at things openly, and the only way to do that is to realize what makes us the way we are and then judge and decide if that’s good. Go forth unafraid. Don’t mimic. Don’t take refuge in going along with things. Don’t let yourself be fooled by the feeling of acceptance by others as a good thing. Don’t kill off your powers. That’s the most pitiful life that can be lived, the life of a mimic, a fake, the undeveloped and unrealized life, the lowest level experience a human can have. Be more than that. Be braver than that and do something. Don’t be a slave to your conditions. Don’t accept impulses that mess you up, understand them and perfect yourself.

Highest level self. Go after self perfection, you dumb motherfuckers. Not all happiness is the same. Trust that with your best heart.
