During this period I also had begun to travel, venturing twice to Esalen
in California, then moving there in 1980. In 1981 I hitch-hiked for the
first time, and all through the 80s I would live for a few months
somewhere, then travel for a while, gradually exploring the vastness of
the usa and Canada.
In 1988 I began to base myself in Boulder, Colorado, and it was here
that I first came up with the concept of synthaissance cryobenthics in
1990. My background in science had always been of service when I
needed new forms of expression. I somehow merged synthesis with
renaissance, and cryogenics with benthic. A flowering of
creativity thats extremely cool and very deep. Perfecta humorous
mis-application of scientific terminology that perfectly expressed what I
was all about!
Synthaissance cryobenthics is a new paradigmthe next level beyond
the out-dated and troublesome worldview that Fritjof Capra called the
Newtonian/Cartesian paradigm.
I had always been inspired by a quote from my favorite visionary
William Blake: I must create a system or be a slave to another
mans.
In the spirit of what the ancient Greeks called physis, which was the
whole of natural science including medicine; what they called trivium
(logic, rhetoric, and grammar) and quadrivium (music, astronomy,
arithmetic, and geometry), or what we call the seven liberal artsI
offer you synthaissance cryobenthics.
What I have tried to do is not only to share with you the full spectrum
of my own creative work, but also to create a big picture perspective
of where we find ourselves now as human beings.
High-quality information that is relevant and accurate is essential for
maintaining a valid worldview; I have attempted to provide a wide
diversity of inter-related materials and links in this site which are each
an essential dimension of being-here-now.
This site is a compressed cross-section of what Im all about. If I can
share anything useful, or inspire anyone else to explore the limitless
world of their own creativity, then I consider it a success!
The universe is calling on each of us to do our best with the vast gifts
we have been given; we have to bring these on-line NOW, actualize
our potentials at the individual and collective levels, and make a
quantum leap from a civilization based on knowledge to one based on
imagination.
