Here I summarize the reason WHY I publish the podcast, and provide a rather succinct index of my health history. I know I've provided quite a lot before, but wanted to start on the content provider with a solid format that old listeners may learn something new (or better understand) and also provide a background to newbies. This is also a quick statement of how things are today, before I discuss some deeper philosophical ideas and quandaries that have vexed me. First step is to know the condition of reality now, before moving forward, I would think.
