E.P.P. = Existential Phenomenological Pragmatism.

Existentialism for ideas on freedom and authenticity. Phenomenology for ideas about the Lived Body and the Being of Life Pragmatism for being pragmatic about all matters. This outlines my personal Philosophy on Human Being and practice.

Also borrow from Pema Chodren and her views on the Wisdom of No Escape, as well as Karl Marx’s political economy, particularly his theory of Surplus Value. Also borrow from Gabriel García Márquez beliefs on Magical Realism.

It may be hard to see how all these ideas an be combined, but for me they fit together in a mutually reassuring whole. One philosophy reinforces another with the result being greater than the sum of it’s parts.

Bottom line is I just don’t give a shit. Literally, I don’t give a shit about anything. This frees me from the chains of desire, just as the Buddha taught. It allows me to Experience the True Value of Things, like the love I share with family like friends, and friends like family, that of Human Being.

My The Way of the Mystic of Cascadia Multiverse Stories is my attempt to talk about E.P.P. via literature. I’m not much of a writer so there’s not much chance I will be successful in this endeavor, but regardless I have to try.
