Who am I?

Perhaps this is the only question life really throws at us . Maybe all our scientific endeavors are, one way or another, directed at it. Maybe cosmologists trying to understand the origin of the universe, biologists working on evolution or psychologists studying behavior are driven by the same desire to know. Or perhaps I shouldn't speak for anyone else and only say that for me it is this way. My scientific work comes out of the question I am driven to ask when lying down, traveling in an extraordinary altered state or sitting in meditation. Science and living life are the same thing and require the same commitment and principles.....I was sitting when something scribbled on my mind "What drives you?"...........Am I so obviously "driven"? ....Yes , rush constantly from one thing to the next, rarely rest, almost never watch TV or even sit and listen to music....Living is working and playing with my mates...and cleaning the house. Something drives me. It is all part of the same question.....So I am delighted to write on this profile of myself....Many of you may think that You and I are, academically or in terms of our beliefs, poles apart...I don't think so .....In my meetings with all of you and infrequent but valued correspondence I have often been struck by the similarities not the differences in our ideas....So I am glad to write about me...and what my thought is about.....
