These goals and questions represent a portion of my own life-journey. My Personal Statements offer some of my tentative findings and conclusions. Allow me to add a few other points to the list, ones that are particularly important to me…

those who seek what Carl Jung termed individuation; what Maslow called self-actualization

those who look for more than career success – an external possessing; but, rather, personal-growth – an internal becoming

those who are curious… about all things… and are not afraid to look at new ideas

those who want to learn about what the great poets, mystics, saints, and philosophers have said about the meaning of life, love, death, suffering, goodness, evil, beauty, truth, and other issues that have stirred humankind’s imagination for millennia
