As an absurdist, Hap doesn’t believe in life after death. There is no evidence of a devine being waiting to judge or condemn. This life is not a rehersal for what is to come. This is it.
Nikolai Gogal said, “the human obsession with purpose is merely a distraction from the absurdity of existence.”
With no evidence of a grand plan or greater purpose, Hap strives to live in the moment relishing his one short lifetime as an expression of the conscious universe.
He believes we should revel in every moment of our lives – loving, learning, and living to the fullest, expressing our essence to the world.
Camus wrote in The Nuptials of a consciousness reveling in the world, a body delighting in nature, and the individual’s immersion in sheer physicality. Years before, Whitman wrote of the same sensuality, joy, and awareness of our place in this world.
Those two giants married literary and philosophical thought like few have.
It may see arrogant to aspire to the heights of Camus and Whitman, but Hap asks a simple question:
If there is no grand purpose driving us within this universe, then why not me?
Why not you?
Hap has lived and worked in nearly 20 countries including four years in the Mediterranean basin. He possesses an extensive knowledge of ancient Hebrew and Greek. In preparation for the Lord(s) of Earth, he researched the Nag Hammadi scriptures, Dead Sea scrolls as well as other primary source writings from the first and second centuries.
