Earth, Air, Fire, and Water. These were the elements the Ancients knew. And they were correct, for they were not speaking of Chemistry. They spoke of Matter and Energy working together through Space and Time. They spoke of Chemistry combined with Physics . . . and with Imagination.Scientists tell us that matter and energy are what they are, and would still be so even if we did not observe them, interact with them. Sure. And money is merely paper, until we interact with it. Nature, the world, the universe, call it what you will, has no meaning, for us, until we interact with it. Then it becomes reality, our reality. Add a bit of imagination and it becomes whatever we may choose: Farms, mines, hunting grounds, radios, cars, picture phones, airplanes, spaceships, spirits, dragons, gods. All were once fantasy; some still are. But which ones?Nature is nothing without our interaction. With it, there is no limit on what it may be. This book is about what I see in it. And maybe what you see, too.

Visions are a traditional, time-honored technique for discovering the deeply hidden truths of life and the universe. Knowing they are hidden, seekers have turned to drugs (they thought it was the food of the Gods) or deprivation and torture (to make themseves worthy, to prove how much they deserve to know). But the Truths are not hidden; they are right there in plain sight, and always have been. All you have to do is discard your preconceptions (not an easy thing), ignore what you have been told by Authorities (which amounts to the same thing), and look. That is hardest of all, because people will not believe anything could be that simple and straightforward.That is what this book is about. There is a little about how to do it. You do not need mathematics or a long education. You certainly do not have to be an egghead or a brain-box. Anyone can do it. The rest is things I have seen. There are a couple of flights of fancy, taking the concepts to extremes. There are a few insights that may significantly change your life. Mostly they are simply fresh looks at common things, showing them to be quite different from what "everybody knows." At the least, they are fun. At the most, well, the sky is no limit.

I was born on the Road, and have lived on it most of my life, except for a few decades in a city, when earning the means to free me for permanent travel. Now, the Road is a mansion, with many, many rooms, of vastly varying variety. Some are hot and dry, some are cold and wet, others are everything in between. And just as fine and fascinating as the rooms are the hallways and passages between, some long, some short, and all with windows on an infinite set of worlds. A fairly large percentage of my time is spent actually on the Road, mostly going places I have never been, looking for sights I have never seen, finding people I have never met.And that is what is in this book. Praises of wonderful roads, portraits of places they lead, brief vignettes of interesting and often surprising sights along the way. There are definitions of the major kinds of roads, and discussions of what they can be like, and by far the most important, descriptions, histories, details of some of the most outstanding roads. This book is shallow, only an introduction to the Road. Almost everything has been left out, because everything would fill an encyclopedia. A large one. You really need to get out here and see for yourself. I am only showing you the way. The way to Freedom.

This is not the Second Edition. The Second Edition, with more data and the same price, is now available elsewhere on Amazon. It includes a chapter on Trailers, and miscellaneous corrections and additions. This book is not about motorcycles, but about how to camp with a motorcycle, especially full-time. It is about what may be the most free and open lifestyle possible today. To go wherever you choose whenever you want, and still live in pretty good comfort at very little expense.While intended for the motorcycle camper, most of the data is equally applicable if you backpack or if you travel by bicycle, car or even RV. Here are the basics you need to know, whether you camp for only a weekend, or for a couple of weeks, or for a whole season. And if you dream of living full-time on the road, this data should make it fairly easy to start.This book describes an appropriate motorcycle and bike gear for camping, and tips for mountain and dirt roads. It also lists the gear you will need and how to pack it. But it is mostly about the camping: Where to go, how to pick a campsite, get firewood, lay out, light, use and put out a fire. There are also sections on Water and on the special needs of Winter Camping. It also covers camp stoves, how to cook on a campfire and at high-altitude, cookware, selecting and storing food so animals do not get at it (and the bears do not get at you), and keeping food without refrigeration. There are even few campfire recipes.This is how the author lives, all year, year after year.This is how to live the dream.Stay Free!

Do you yearn to escape a life that seems petty, meaningless, not enough? Do you feel that there should be more to life than mere existence, that you are somehow missing out on all of the fun? Do you desire to explore your self and the world around you? Do you wish you could experience the romantic, the exotic, the wild? Do you dream of what might be, of a deeper, more interesting life? This book is about achieving these dreams, in mind and in body. It is about being free, doing the impossible, having what you imagine. This is making fantasy become reality. This is living the dream. You can read these pages as amusing tales, like Aesop's Fables. Or you can read them as instructive insights, like Aesop's Fables. Or both. They are simple things, for they are true, and truth is always simple. They are results of looking at ordinary things in a new or unusual way. They concern Technology and Magic, Man and Nature, Believing and Knowing. They are products of insight, imagination and flights of fantasy. The things in this book are things that do exist in Heaven and Earth, but are not dreamt of in our philosophy. There are things you see every day, but have never seen at all. They are not fiction; they are not impossible. They are dreams in my philosophy. Welcome to my world. Cast off your chains. Stay free!
