QUESTION: Do you endeavor to know who you are?
STORY: I drew this self portrait in October 1968 when I returned home from a 6 month journey to San Francisco. I was concerned about the Vietnam war, about racism and the Black Lives Matter movement plus I was curious about marijuana and hallucinogenic drugs like LSD. So in San Francisco I explored cannabis, peyote, hashish, mescaline and LSD. I did not take downers or speed. After 6 months of exploring drugs with the hippie LOVE generation, I knew with certainty that there is far more to be aware of in life - than what we are told by newspapers, teachers, parents and friends! Often I was led to ask myself this question: WHO AM I? This question guided me to The Prosperos School of Ontology in 1970. For over 50 years, I studied WHO I AM with this school’s unique tools and now it is 2025. Today I believe that we all must endeavor to do the WORK of being curious, asking ourselves: WHO AM I - and waking up to our INNATE SOUL Self, Higher Consciousness.
