Life as experiment

Life as experiment... I heard of a fella once who stayed in a room and punched in his time card every hour for a whole year and then tied himself to another person with a ten foot rope for a whole year and then lived outside for a whole year and then remained in silence for a whole year etc.... And I met this girl who cooped up with a bunch of friends in a room for 2 weeks but every day slept one hour less and one hour earlier - and then wrote a zine about what started happening to them...

So I said thats cool.. Setting up constraints for short periods of time just to see what would happen -- becuase the results are just not obvious... You have to go through it to know what will happen... I can handle that!!

In the hope of shattering all preconceptions and socialized behaviours, cultural configurations and mass deceptions... I too set off on my merry way... And fought the fight of ages old.. And broke through a few barriers and gained a few insights and learned a bucket full...

Here are the things I experiment with while trying to live an Alt life...

Fear -- not useful..
Food -- Too much and Too little
Shame -- How useless
Homelessness -- Sleep where your feet land when you are tired
Isolation -- Pretty common experience
Living without money -- Threw my last quarter in the Juan De Fuca
Pain - Ouch
Living without ID -- So complex
Love -- As an antidote to fear
Sex -- Too much and Too little
Pride -- In what??
Meditation -- Yesssss.... so peaceful
Yoga -- Its good....
Giving -- till it hurts

Nothing is as it seems and there are far too many ways to do things to think that this is all there ever was.... Do you have any experiments that you have
tried??? I would love to hear about it!!
