The great mind Michel Foucault considers writing about yourself to
be what he terms a technology of the self. Writing being used as a
tool to say and discover something about yourself in such a way
that you could become different. Forms of personal and private
writing bring us close to a type of knowledge that transforms us.
Through personal writings about oneself we produce new ways of
being. Through the writing a freedom to be a different self is
practised. This freedom transforms us and grants us power to
pronounce truths about ourselves that may lead others to transform
themselves. I write, and will continue to write, in order to
reinforce new beliefs and to become different, and by becoming
different I practise a transformative freedom, that I hope will
lead others to find freedom and change also. A little or a lot. I
guess you could say that I agree with Michel Foucault. A great mind
that for me has hit the nail on the head. It is my hope within my
ramblings that a person will find at least one nugget, hopefully
more, that will help give more meaning to the world in which we
live. Meaning at the level at which most of us live, on the ground
in the real world and not with our heads in the clouds. In this
book I will discuss how I try to live my philosophy from day to
day. Not even being entirely sure what my philosophy is, and
changing daily. Never really succeeding 100% in my aims but being
mindful of much that I had never even been aware of previously in
my life. The structure will be quite random as that is how life and
thoughts arrive with me and how I reflect on them and thus develop
my reflections. I have yet to learn how to think in nice ordered
chapters. Much is written about the flow of the universe, well I
consider that is how I write. An idea presents itself when the time
is right. There follows many random thoughts and ideas for you to
ingest. First I would like to introduce both myself, my dogs,
Julie, my wife and my turbulent past through the introduction and
then we will enter the random world of my daily thought processes.
It may be thought of as self indulgent to talk about oneself in a
book but I hope the following arguments will help state my case. I
can only view the world from my unique perspective, attempting
anything else would be foolhardy.
