Drew Mcpherson - A brief and cryptic autobiographical view
Copyright (c) 2008 Drew Mcpherson
There was a time when I did not know my purpose, so I lived quietly and peacefully in my fortress of solitude. Things were fine, I was happy, for a time. This was apparently unsatisfactory to the universe, and so I met my maker in human form and my life was turned inside out. This was the beginning of a long journey that I am still on now.
Phase 1 was to destroy my quiet peace, to bust down every wall and gate of the fortress of solitude inside which I felt safe. Once my sense of safety and security was gone, I had to have a near death experience or two. The effect of that was to desecrate any remaining faith in all external entities and institutions and to instill a sense of internal faith and quiet awe of all things.
That was the breaking point, everything changed after that.
The learning process began. My journey took me to many places, both geographically and emotionally. I experienced the range of human emotion and cognitive functioning. I departed wildly from my previously stable and narrow range of holistic human experience. This allowed me to experience and document many things which were previously alien to me. That was book #1.
The next phase is only beginning as I write this. I have nearly recovered completely from the traversal into imbalance which occurred in phase 1. I already know what phase 2 consists of. I will explore all aspects of social and community structure in order to master it as I did with human holistic health.
Once I achieve a degree of awareness of this outer framework, I will use the knowledge to navigate to a position of influence so that I may proliferate the knowledge that I gathered during phase 1. This is what equilism is. The proliferation of balance and stability. I was created with an inherent resilience and ability to achieve personal balance. This is the way I was born, but had no ability to propagate it because I lacked knowledge of how to do so. In fact, I didn't even realize that there was a serious problem with imbalance in the world before all of this started.
Once equilism on earth has been achieved, I will proceed to phase 3. Notice how I say equilism on earth, not peace on earth. The reason for this is that the concept of "peace" has become a political buzzword and is often associated with war or violence as a means to achieve "peace". The theory behind equilism is that violent means can never achieve a non-violent outcome. It is important to note that violence refers to not just physical violence, but also emotional and psychological violence, which is far more insidious and far more difficult to deal with.
Phase 3 is on the horizon at present, and I have achieved only glimpses of what it entails. Once I have set up a suitable work environment by achieving not only personal balance, but also social balance on at least a community if not global scale, then I can begin the real study of the universe in which I exist. This phase consists of completing some work that Einstein failed to finish during his lifetime. The understanding of the nature of the universe, and specifically the unification of multiple physical theories.
That's really why I'm doing all this. I can't think straight with all this insanity happening around me. It's highly distracting. So in order to return to my fortress of solitude so that I may contemplate such things as the meaning of Pi and other universal constants, I must rebuild it. In the process, I might as well give everyone else the tools to rebuild their shattered existences as well. This is a bit selfish, I must admit. I'm thinking ahead here, because if I simply rebuild my fortress, it will be busted down again by the war surrounding me. If everyone is set to work on their own self-improvement and improvement of their community, then that will give them something to do instead of starting petty squabbles which turn into war and result in my walls coming down again.
After I’ve accomplished all that, I think it would be nice to just sit back and enjoy a slice of pizza and a glass of lemonade while I watch the sun rise in the morning and set at night. Maybe play a game of cards or something. Perhaps build a house and have a family and teach some stuff to a youngster before he’s old enough to teach some things to me. It might be nice to explore the woods, go hiking and camping too.
We'll see how it goes.
