Greetings seeker of learning and knowledge. I am one of the guides in your life of choices that you may choose to direct you on the paths of knowledge, insight, and "wisdom". Knowledge is the presentation of data. Insight is seeing the relationships of the data in their discrete and extrapolated contexts. Wisdom is the efficient and elegant application of that data in the appropriate manner at the appropriate time.

I offer you my skills in math and history.

I consider math to be not only the basics for computational expertise, but a metaphor of the qualities and limits of life. The processes and function of math can be understood not only by the rote memorization of the different functions, but by the qualities with which you have interaction on a daily basis. For example, addition is more than an aggregate sum of numerals, but a description of a totality, plus or minus a reference point. 27 + 9 equaling 36, can be seen as the conventional plus-3 numerals to 30 and plus-6 more to 36 from 27, or it can be seen as the continuing series form 0-9, 1-8, 2-7,3-6 that is the up and down numerical escalator quality of adding 9 to a number.

History is more than arbitrary dates of a particular cultural relevance. July 4, 1776 or July 14, 1789 mean more than the dates of liberation for the 13 American Colonies or the peasants of France, respectively. Those dates are the culmination of a process of individual stories that facilitated the present significance of two days in the calendar year.

For either math or history the function processes and the names or dates are the tip of the iceberg for your comprehension and appreciation of math and history. To appreciate the beauty of the design of the function processes or the unintended consequences that weave into a mathematical or historical result is my mission. My methodology would to create a physical interaction as if you were on the ground level with the numerals or the participants so that you feel the cognizance of your knowledge, not just have an archival, impersonal bibliography that carries no connection to you personally. Props and role playing will supplement the dry didactic of reading to present these subjects to you.

I want our hours of study to be your foundation for the learning process with our props of math and history.

Merlin, Savant of the Magic of Fun.

  My spiritual specialty is the renaissanced life of cognitive phenomenology. The life of who we are by action, not by status, title, or material trappings. It is the re-communion with the preverbal, feral consciousness of intuition. It is the life of resonance to a metaphysics of serendipity and synchronicity that directs you. I was not special or worthy in character. I believe that being quisitively, open-minded enough to investigate a "rabbit-hole" of possibilities, I did what is said of people who use the Ouija Board. I opened up a door for a communication. It would take the events of serendipity and synchronicity for me to give convictional credence of this state for my coincidental intentions. "Coincidental" would be the non-ego baggage of human hubris, and as insignificant and anonymous as a piece of thread that goes through a needle eye. It is a 30+ year old testimony, delayed until I I had reached this mystical certainty. It was precipitated by a "world cataclysm" dream which chastised me, the protagonist of the dream, for being so dilettante about not living up to the urgency of the dream's narrative of imperatives. The project gives a critique of secular and religious dogma which degrades humans' discernment for connecting with the forces vibrating about them and coming at them through the unappreciated and unexplored dimensions of consciousness. Instead, the world provides an intellectual and derivative spiritual paradigm, which renders us collectively adolescent, emotionally, in the comprehension of our technological self-destructiveness as well as our holistic negativity on our ecology. I call this process "the secular and temporal fallacy". This is an outgrowth of my life experiences, which have been guided by a seemingly, persistent muse. That" muse" brought me to convictions in a manner and affects similar to Gen 18: 17-21-in being the anonymous, discounted, measuring rod by which poetic justice was determined for the person or the locale as the sign of a visitation. There was a covenant I had with this metaphysical force. It gave me those moral insights (ethos) beyond what my parents, school, and friends were teaching me- to adapt to the practical "life priorities". Those insights were interesting, parallel considerations I was storing away. After living an in-denial life of materialistic, temporality, I was reacquainted, exclamatorily, with the mystical serendipities of the "Muse". In the period 9/69-8/70, I got the "life marching orders" as the answer to my realization that I had acknowledged my own (and our own cultural) "insanity".That "answer" was so radical, even for me that I spent the next 37 years being brought kicking and screaming by the hard-knocks of events to the steps that led up to the portal of the eye-of-the-needle. I crossed over this year.. The crossing was NOT in the style NOR status I had anticipated or desired, but it WAS consistent with and in the affirming paradigm that vindicated the living out of "the dream" I had dreamt in the Spring of '72, just before graduation from Yale and facing the military induction consequences of having the number "36" (the recurring numerological-9) in the draft. "The Dream" being the metaphorical phases of Estrangement, Existential challenge and danger, Survival, and the Redemption over the next 36 years.
