Hi,
I am Loy Young and I have got a question for you:
Adventure - what is it to you?
Racing down the track in an F1 Ferrari?
Heli-skiing in the Alps?
Sailing single-handedly around the globe?
Barehanded bull wrestling?
Orbiting the earth in a NASA capsule?
The
ultimate adventure for me has always been and still is seeking to understand
the contrast between our spiritual ideals and our
human behavior. In spite of our high spiritual principles, religious teachings
and incredible scientific advancements, I have found little change in the
way we deal with each other over the years. In fact, human nature today
appears not to have progressed much from the time of Cain and Abel. Why? - I
wanted to know.
The
mystery I felt compelled to unravel led me far into the depths of darkness
of our human consciousness. That might not be everybody’s idea of fun, but
it was pure excitement to me: my destiny was beckoning.
My
quest grabbed me by the scruff of my neck and plunged me into four decades
of risky adventures and travels over six continents, confronting me with
people from all walks of life — from cosmopolitan jet-setters to rural
villagers in remote places with tribal cultures and religions all their
own. Whenever I found an answer that proved to be beneficial to me and the
people around me, I would write and speak about it, teach classes, and use
it in counseling with those who sought my guidance. Some of my findings
indeed proved valuable, others turned out to be counterfeit or half-truths,
spiriting me on my way again.
It
was often a perilous journey. I nearly drowned in the sea of opposites many
times. Yet the search was not in vain; I did find the answers that I was
seeking.
As
the fire storms raged over Southern California this last fall, I was
reminded that life can be extinguished in but a few seconds and realized
that I can no longer put off what I have felt compelled to do for many years
now, to revisit my life's work. And of course, I am running out of time, my
senses are failing me. This race against the ailments of old age turns my
project into another exciting adventure. Will I get it all down before my
life is over?
Almost everything that I would like to share with you was already written
down in my books, pamphlets and papers. However, all this wealth of
information lacks structure, a path through the maze. So now I am going
through all my writings, some that made its way into
books,
New Age newspaper columns, articles, class manuals, and others that are
still on napkins and on the back of menus stuffed away in shoe boxes.
Say It with Humor
I only wish I had the time to put it all together, with a good laugh. Most
of my discoveries date from a few years back, waiting to be published in a
humorous in a humorous way, one that would make you chuckle. In my way of
thinking, teaching through humor is the ultimate feat. I can teach anyone
how to turn conflict, especially relationship conflict, on its head by
finding the funny side of it. I have even written a “how to” book for humor
therapy entitled Die Laughing, Is There Any Other Way?
But last fall those raging fires in Southern California where I now live
scared me out of my wits. Loud and clear I heard the clock ticking. I
believe it was Mark Twain who once apologized to his friend for writing a
rather long letter because he did not have time to write a short one.
So here I go Funny or Not!
