There was a saying in my youth: Turn on, tune in, drop out. We can thank Timothy Leary for that. He intoned it to a crowd of hippies in San Francisco in 1967. (He borrowed it from Marshal McLuhan.) Regardless, I am close to giving myself up to the sentiment. To comment beyond that is to swim against the stream in which I wish to be swept away.
With an undergraduate degree in Religion and Philosophy, complimented with graduate work in the History of Ideas, Doug has spent his life chasing some of life’s big questions. As a result he has delved deeply into wisdom traditions both ancient and modern, including the philosophical schools of Existentialism, Pragmatism, and Stoicism; he has also explored several of the Eastern traditions, principally Zen Buddhism and Taoism. Admittedly, he is no expert on anything, being a simple pilgrim.
