Hello and welcome to what will be the OpenSelf. Before I get started with actual posts I felt an introduction and grounding per say would be appropriate. I personally have always wanted an outlet to explain my take on life, but then have readers add their own comments and ideas to help further everyone’s understanding.

OpenSelf will contain mostly my alternative take on aspects in life including, but not limited to, the metaphysical, physical, pseudo physics (possibly including the quantum type), world religion, and other… well… just more simple things. I will sometimes have references and make these as scholarly as possible. Other times I will be speaking from my own experiences and mini not so scientific experiments/observations in life. (This is why others editing in the wiki will be really fun and interesting.)

OpenSelf is relative in the SOStopia world because self (yes little s self – we can all will apologize to the Atman later) actions inherently create the actions of the larger group (society). This is the Ah-Ha moment! To challenge Bonnie Tyler, who wants a hero to be larger than life, OpenSelf will explore that there is no limit to what defines life and sets the act of life in a confined set of invisible ‘rules’.

I must retire at the moment, but I look forward to sharing with you some (I trust) interesting thoughts and hearing your comments and discussion! As a closing thought, not to encroach on Stan Brakhage or other thinkers, but take a moment to look upon a situation with new eyes and remove the prepositioned labels we automatically give things, and see if you see thousands of shades of green in your field or none! More on this later.
