I want to set up a bit of context for you.

It’s going to guide our relationship from here on and it’s important that you read these words; they are going to sound selfish and a bit self-aggrandizing, but I promise they are going to be in service to you.

Imagine yourself for a moment as a client of mine, a spiritual friend of mine, a friend whom I adore and care about.

Imagine I care so much about you that I put constraints on our relationship to honor your time and your value, as a glorious and gifted human being.

And I care so much for you that I refuse to waste your time and life by buying into and seeing life in any way other than a way that is beautiful and graceful, even if challenging.

Imagine that to honor you, I have to also honor and respect that truth for myself.

Imagine that I value you simply for being alive.

In fact, I am the most exquisite, mysterious, and glorious being I have ever known and continue to know.

And imagine that I am in this way toward myself for no other reason, than that I am…

That I exist…

There’s nothing I need to do, be, or have to change that truth.

Now imagine that the only way a person like me can see himself as he does, is if he knows this to be true of you too.

Even though he is imperfect, screws up more often than he’d like to admit, says things about himself that are not always kind, and is more time than not embroiled in a dance of the absurd, he continues to know that beyond the thing that he’s called, beyond his identity, there exists one primary truth, he is never what he seems, but always between being and becoming and he is fundamentally one expression of a totality of existence.

As that…

So are you…

How you express that existence, how deeply you feel that to be true or not, doesn’t matter necessarily at this time.

What is important, is that you are willing to open to the possibility that what I have shared exists within you as a potential.

And now…

With that I want to take you into another contextual framework.

This has to do with creating your world as you desire to, as you wish to express yourself.

And once again, I will reflect on my creation as an example.

There’s a secret of a kind within the words, a message that you will gather, but that I will not point out to you, but you will, if you choose to see it, see it.

And if you are keen to understand why it is the primary work that we are all doing in life, then you will want to follow along with greater attention to the quest I am sharing.

Here it is, I am challenging to get a hold of.

My primary work is to create and share messages that inspire and transform my clients’ personal relationship with reality and thus with all of those within their world.

I work primarily through email and the content that I share online.

I have standards that I will hold you to, as I hold myself to them as well.

I screw up often, but I am on a mission and screwing up comes with the territory.

I built these screw-ups into the game; they are part of the ruleset I have created.

I craft my life, living it as art, as an expression of one kind or another, as a journey to self-mastery, self-knowledge, and knowledge of life itself.

When you enter my world, however you might, I will challenge you to construct your world, to create your life, to express yourself in the way that you must do so for yourself.

You will simultaneously be asked to be selfish while being selfish to the genuine expression of your soul and spirit.

This selfishness, when held true to your being, always ends up serving the greater good.

This is why, I am vigilant and pedantic about setting rules for myself and then making sure you are also aware of them, because, I have little tolerance for those who want to steal or waste my time.

In fact…

No one can do that but me, and if I let you steal and waste my time, then what is actually taking place, is that I am stealing and wasting your time.

It will happen, because it does.

And because it does, we preempt it by placing rules into the game that serve our objective.

I will tell you more about this when you go into Questing The Unknown, The Two Truths That Are Neither True Nor False…

Now, I’ve been speaking for a bit.

Perhaps, it’s as if I haven’t said a thing, after all, I haven’t told you why you are here, or why you want to be here, or what I have to offer you.

Perhaps that is strange, a little weird, to have you here with me, curious to know more about why the best thing you can do in your life is partake in this quest.

You will want to buy into what I am sharing.

However, there will be consequences to the choice to live with me in your life.

Joy…

Frustration…

Love and beauty…

These will be experienced.

But truth, your discovery and experience of the deep resounding truth that lives for you and you alone, can only and ever be known by you.

What that is, well, that’s part of the quest.

This is my work, my craft, my joy…

And I create to be of service to the calling within me and to be of service to those who are receptive, ready, and willing to seek this for themselves as well.

A few words on work…

Whatever your work is or whatever work you want to be doing, there’s a mystery about the being you are when you do that work.

We will discuss this thoroughly because it will change your life. In fact, this is one of the first emails you will receive from me, on being the mystery that is your work.

About The Being Before You…

My name is Emeric Damian, I ask questions and I question everything and then I share these experiences, the knowing, the learnings.

And I share the mysteries that keep calling but don’t reveal their answers so kindly.

And in this way, I awaken people into truly experiencing the beautiful mystery of existence as best I can.

In this way, I give you back life, and time, time in your life to use as you wish.

How…

Your attention is the greatest asset you have.

And I want to make sure you own and control it.

It is your pathway to everything.

I have conversations; I am a guide and an instigator of ideas.

We must ask questions, particularly about the nature of reality, which includes everything and nothing.

Dreams of all kinds…

It’s been a lifelong fascination for me, exploring dreams and visions, and creating the future as we desire.

It’s wonderful and bizarre to realize that we literally can imagine something in our minds and then express it externally.

Lifelong learning makes my life more interesting, creating everyday matters to me as does sharing.

Absurdity, the ridiculous, laughter at life is adored in my world.

I’m for hire every once and a while. You can contact me here.

I write and speak to touch the ephemeral nature of existence.

A Sky Prayer

by Walking Cloud ~

Like the Sky, I let it pass.
It is not who I am.
It is not up to me.

As the Sky, I see it all,
Yet where am I,
Am I at all.

Point to me,
Show me to myself,
I am neither here nor there
Yet I am.

Also…

I perpetually travel as a kind of nomad of sorts, travel geographically as well as into the realm of the mind.

And my name is also Walking Cloud.

To being wiggly upon the fabric of reality,
Emeric “Walking Cloud” Thorpe

p.s. There will be more for you as, the sharing continues, the questions, the explorations and I would like to thank you for being here at Questing The Unknown.

About Questing The Unknown….

This is about the journey into the radical experience of being alive, of experiencing more of life itself.

The only thing in this is the uncovering of a dream, a life to explore, a masterpiece to create, some type of movement toward an understanding of our existence, a play in the world that gives us the opportunity to express the fullness of our desires, to be free to play and tease out the experience of life.

Living and loving from that place, exploring the universe in that way allows for all of us to truly come undone, sooner than later.

Awakening to the undeniable dance between potential possibilities and confusion, an inferno of expression, where our deepest desires burn free until there’s nothing left of our original plaything, is life itself.

We breathe.

And emptiness tears apart the other bits of our being, completely compressed and released simultaneously.

It’s not as if there is something to discover, some grand plot to uncover.

We are all running around in some cyclic malaise that won’t release us.

Some say there’s an answer to this struggle, but I have a secret sky where answers die; nevertheless, most can’t seem to put a hold on the very thing that yokes them.

It’s the undoing of our journey that gets me now and nothing much can move beyond that.

In this we unravel deeper and deeper mysteries.

It’s the ever unfolding undoing, an embrace toward Questing The Unknown…

Everything is an unknown, the words coming from my lips, the breeze finding its way to me.

All of it and none of it…

We are co-creating this universe, by being in it.

We are coercing the universe to speak us into existence, by being.

We are co-creating this universe, because we are it.

Search out freedom and nothing comes.

Go on journeys and nothing comes because it’s everything and nothing.

You are an existential question unraveling and destroying itself, an incessant movement toward what already is.

A viewing point at the center of the universe…

From this place, anything is possible.

And now you are experiencing the exploration and the mystery that is you.

Welcome to life, to Questing The Unknown.

With love and wildness,
Emeric Damian
