Humanity has been through much, that is for sure. We have had quite a turbulent history. The reason for this is that we have been seeing each other as separate. Separate from each other and separate from Life itself. We have been running from a guiding principle of evolution that can best be described as 'survival of the fittest'. This means we have been seeing each other as competition in Life. We have had a problem with how we relate to each other. This is a problem that we cannot change through laws, war, religion, or current schooling. This is a spiritual problem, and the solution to this problem is also spiritual. It is to do with our beliefs about Life. The solution to this problem is the guiding principle of evolution, which is best described as 'we are all one'. When we see each other as unified, as the very same Life, we see the oneness in each other. I spent many years observing humanity and seeking a solution to our greatest problems. And the answer I found is in our unity. As a collective, when we can see our oneness and see each other as unified, we will then begin to implement new structures in our society that help us live together in peace and harmony.
Sitting here, setting down these memories, checking them through, believing they are accurate, I find it hard to understand how much I came to love riding, how much it affected my life. It's the riding I remember the most. The incredible views I saw from the seats of my bikes, the people I met along the way, being part of the landscape and completely opened to the elements, the noise, and the surface of the roads. The brilliant furnace of the rising sun and the sheer immensity and beauty of the landscape was hard to imagine, and the scenery unfolding before me surpassed all my expectations. There were downpours and spectacular storms, hail hammering on my helmet, the bright flashes of lightning and glorious sounds of thunder. Then there were astounding sunsets, the city lights, night runs, the breathtaking atmosphere of inner cities that, in their busyness, offered incredible intimacy. So hop on board and make no mistake, you will enjoy the ride as much as I have.
