Simple living is a complicated idea even without a thousand selves flitting between several philosophies. Let's see how others do it. It might offer us some clarity. At the very least, we could find comfort in shared confusion.
“The meaning of my existence is that life has addressed a question to me. Or, conversely, I myself am a question which is addressed to the world, and I must communicate my answer, for otherwise I am dependent upon the world’s answer.”
― C.G. Jung
Thanks for being here (and on this website). So, what is The Maximum Project?
There are games we choose and those we don’t. Living with, within, and through ourselves is an infinite game we must all play. The Maximum Project. Whether through pleasure, mastery, meaning, beauty, companionship, or distraction, every act is a vote on how our lives develop. How do we build lives we like? How do we pursue the idea of sovereign integration, creating internal alignment while cooperating with others? What are we doing here, anyway?
I don’t have answers, but I have questions. Many. And I like the idea of peeling the onion to find out. Join me on a journey to explore and apply life-building principles. When the time comes for life to look us in the eye, it’d be nice for us to find the gumption to look right back.
