Title: shadowboxer

Location: Los Angeles, CA

I'm mainly interested in ways and “tricks” to reducing selfimportance. Living in the present moment seems to be the way to live.
The more I understand the simpler life seems to be in its complexity. And peaceful.
Understanding and piercing through the illusion of a divided existence.
 I'm highly inspired by people who have advanced beyond the point of presentation of the self. Death is my point of meditation - not as a morbid source of selfpitty but as a wake up call to perceiving the present moment undistracted and with urgency.
I do fail at this task every day :) but nevertheless I keep and keep trying.
Although I love and am feeling loved I know that I'm not hunting for love.
The emotion of love does not seem to be the ultimate goal in life - if there is any goal in the first place. Love in fact doesn't matter to me more or less than anything else.

The only thing I'm really after - and that I do fiercely - is not being after anything else but what is right here right now.
I am in the right place at the right time and I have always been.

The warriors path as described by Carlos Castaneda is my source of inspiration and my guiding point. Which actually means that the only advise I really listen to is the one coming from my own death / mortality unless I'm in subtle ways tricked by my own greed or fear. Well that's the work isn't it? To find out and be honest to oneself first and formost.
I am attempting to break through the limits of conventional perception, knowing that it is not going to get me anywhere. For the sake of it :)
In the end we're all going to meet at the same point, no matter what we do.
