Ev’s life has been an experiment in building a weak, vulnerable, vain, pacifist,  perfectionist, utopian, and it’s been a ‘failure’ by most metrics. However it’s led him to see the connection between breathing, posture, technology, health & aging, and then build a way to preempt the unnecessary pain that limits our potential. 

     He was the youngest of his family, his neighborhood friends, and his school clique. That experience, of consistently being the youngest throughout his developmental years, conditioned him to feel the most secure & safest.  The extreme sense of security prompted the pursuit of a life outside of society’s constraints.  By age 13, he felt he had already seen through the absolutisms of religious & governmental authority.  Thus justifying his dismissiveness.  This set him on a dangerous path b/c he wasn’t sensitized to the daily exercise of centering his body & breath (e.g. the pledge of allegiance, and prayer).  Add on top of that, the shame of America’s history of African slavery & the centuries of Manifest Destiny applied to 1st Nation Americans then U have the foundation for postural handicapping.  He didn’t know how to reconcile Cosmic Consciousness to w/ the history of the humankind – if he had he would’ve been proud of history & used it to connect past to present w/ future possibilities.

     By the end of high school Ev was 6′ 6″ and he had grown-up in the late 1990’s, a time in which Michael Jordan & Bill Gates both represented the ultimate of achievements in technology & athletics – it was all working to handicap his body. This is what technology is doing to us now – it’s a body-type that’s becoming more and more popular – a troubling trend.  We see it in many Senior Citizens & we’re seeing it in many of our young people.
