Blogs

https://meherbabathoughts.blogspot.com/ (This blog began as a Meher Baba trivia blog and morphed into a blog about the prodigy soprano Amira Willighagen and other young talents. If you scroll far enough down the right column you can still find the Baba posts near the bottom.)

https://letters-to-the-living.blogspot.com/ (The Meher Baba followers, who comprise most of the people I interact with today, are getting old. Hence the title of this blog, "Letters to the Living," implies posts I hope future generations will read when we are gone.)

https://meherbabafuture.blogspot.com/ (A blog I created as a follow-on for a talk series I gave in Myrtle Beach from Jan to April, 2018, titled "Baba and the Future.")

TWO CAREERS

From filmmaker to philosopher

Filmmaker: In an earlier career directing on the set of "The Setting Sun," 1987, with cinematographer Phedon Papamichael. In later years, Phedon was twice nominated for the Academy Award for Best Cinematography. 

Philosopher: Photo taken of me by my daughter in 2004 when I was first thinking through my ideas during the writing of Evolution of Perception in Arkansas. I was 44. One can see the connection between my idea and cinema.
