Nobody ever told me, 'Go west, young man' but in a sense, that's what happened. Starting in Denmark, I was then taken west to Washington D.C. At age 22, when the text for this memoir wraps up, I headed west to California. After a quarter century there, it was west again – to Southeast Asia. Naturally, there were zig-zags along the way. Some zigs took me east, and some zags had me going west again. Up until age 22, I had changed schools 11 times within 5 countries. There were sheltered elitist times as well as 'down in the dumps' times – some triumphs and some low points, such as spending a drug-addled night in jail.

Auto-biographies are usually the realm of famous folks so, you may ask, "what's a non-famous person like me doing – writing one?" I'll take a stab at addressing that. For starters, most people, whether famous or not, have some profoundly sad event in their formative years. It can be; death in the family, rape, beatings, drug problems, break-ups, or grave disease. Therefore, most biographies swirl around that unfortunate occurrence, and that therefore becomes the lodestone for the entire biography. Although similar such challenges took place in my formative years, there was fortunately no sole profound event which defined my boyhood. On second thought, having an emotionally shipwrecked mother might fit that role. America doesn't reward spiritual insight. There are awards and accolades, certificates and commemorations for a million different achievements, but where does spiritual attainment fit in? Nada. It doesn't. The average westerner, when hearing a phrase like 'spiritual achievement,' might attribute it to one or more religious icons from centuries ago. Or, if pressed to name a contemporary, might mention The Pope or a kindly church pastor. Indeed, even a mention of one's personal spiritual insight is considered 'gauche' or egotistical. Modern folks are busy enough with heaps of other priorities, such as; making money, burnishing their vanity, or obtaining electronic gizmos. Spiritual endeavors take a back seat, if they figure at all.

Drug taking is nearly as primal and as entwined with human evolution as sex. The text that follows attempts to shed light, not only on drug-taking during the hippie era, but how certain drugs can be conducive to a person's spiritual development. Society, via drug-enforcement laws, lumps recreational drugs into two convenient categories: One category comprises the sole recreational drug which is legal, available, and tolerated everywhere: alcoholic drinks. The other category contains all other recreational drugs. They're all illegal, deemed deadly, addictive and criminal-making. The latter part of the following memoir does more than touch upon that topic, it endeavors to shed reasonable light on recreational drugs.
