After failing high school - disillusioned with the meaning of life - David drifted until he was introduced to the Metaphysics of Quality. He now spends his time living the philosophy and hopefully demonstrating to others its greatness!
– In the morning before dressing, light incense and meditate.
– Retire at a regular hour. Partake of food at regular intervals. Eat with moderation and never to the point of satisfaction.
– Receive a guest with the same attitude you have when alone. When alone, maintain the same attitude you have in receiving guests.
– Watch what you say, and whatever you say, practice it.
– When an opportunity comes do not let it pass by, yet always think twice before acting.
– Do not regret the past. Look to the future.
– Have the fearless attitude of a hero and the loving heart of a child.
– Upon retiring, sleep as if you had entered your last sleep. Upon awakening, leave your bed behind you instantly as if you had cast away a pair of old shoes.

Alan Watts on Death.
“I think nowadays though, the more general idea, the more plausible idea to many people; is that when we die we just cease to be. That’s all there is to it. But we’re inclined I think, to have in our minds, a picture of this. Which indeed is depressing. Of being shut up in the dark for always, and always, and always. To be kind of buried alive in a blackness. Where we are blind, deaf and dumb but somehow still conscious..”
