I dont think there is a logical way to address the mainstream media bias, other than creating an entirely independent platform, which is something I would be willing to pursue with greater vigor, at some point in the future.......perhaps after the legend has had some more time to mature. At one point in this journey, I was ready to take on the controlled media head on damned of the consequences, and they backed down. The "Doctors", TLC, Discovery channel, Animal planet contacted me about doing a program, and before production could begin, they all got the call from controlled media Headquarters to stand down, and not face me in public. Currently I have taken a more Zen approach and am not hung up on becoming what the world deems successful... after all more than one way to skin a cat.... I no longer actively seek fame, instead keeping open and allowing for opportunities to present themselves in time, while meekly working out higher truths as well as digging into the underground depths.
Currently I am satisfied with living in obscurity, while raising a family, and am content with things as they are..... I have time to practice this way of life and hone my craft, while waiting patiently like a crouching tiger for when the time is right to pounce onto the world stage. My life as it is now days is somewhat precariously balanced, it takes almost all that is in me to earn a living and eek out a good life for me and my loved ones, thoguh I still dream very big, day to day has taken on a more down to earth feel...... seeking fame and acclaim for the most part has taken a back seat to the things in life which contain truer value.
So much of the vision and perspectives I hold dear are esoteric to the extreme, and simply could not be easily translated into media format that could be commercialized. (Eric) I dont really feel called upon to frame my own personal appearance in accord to what the mainstream may consider a good impression. A rare individuals' life, rarely fits a neat little narrative, that can be transcripted into a made for TV special. Being autodidactic from an early age I learned that much of the world will never understand or give a damn about the vast reflections of an introverted mind, and in many instances the world is openly hostile to those who exercise the limitless intellectual freedoms, I occupy much of my time indulging fully.
Still in the face of brutal reality, in both personal and societal limitation, I attempt to maintain a stoical constitution, though at times I fall into cynical thinking of how perhaps much of the world does not want to wake up, and how the Buddha was right about the universal persistence of ignorance in the wheel of samsara. Then just when it seems like all hope is lost providence seems to call out as it has time and time again..... this Mens health article, from the basic outline they sent, seems well done and generally positive. It could potentially be seen by millions of people and give a greater legitimacy to the RAW truth.
