My name is Lonnie J. Burris... or "Lonnie Jay" for
short.
I am both your Host and the Minor Subject Matter of this Site... and You are my Guest. I will do my best to Stimulate and Challenge and Entertain You. Hopefully, you will have a meaningful experience and good time ... and perhaps even leave this space in time a little bit more "Moved and Inspired"... So, Friend, take off your Shoes... put on your Thinking Cap... Open Your Mind... Open Your Heart... and get ready for some "Tears and Laughter". Hey, What else is there? |

Site ConstructionMy Web Site is in a Continual State of Construction. And... as long as I'm Living and Growing and Changing... It Will Remain So!The Web Site was initially constructed in 2002 using Basic HTML. Then, I began using FrontPage to Edit and Spruce up the pages a bit. Currently, (2010), I am using MS Expressions 3 as My Web Editor.Going through the "Changes" has not always been Smooth! And trying to get everything in Harmony and Compliance with the Newer Format and W3W Standards... has had its Problems. So much for WYSIWYG! So... I'm sure there will be a little Inconsistency in Page Design and Interactivity. But... I'll keep working on it! :)
The DilemmaNot to get "Academic" on you... but so much of what I want to share with you has to do with "Concepts". And Concepts are hard to communicate. All I have to work with here is Language and limited Visuals.I have all of this perceived "Knowledge" that I want to pass along during my lifetime. Sure, it's important for me to connect with other Kindred Spirits and Be Known to a greater extent... but it is most important to me that I share the Knowledge that I have realized during my Life with Others and the World. It's not so much of an "Ego" thing for me (well, perhaps a little bit)... It's more of a Passion. A Buuuuurning Passion!
My ProfessionI'm an "Existential Psychologist"...Now, don't go getting all weird on me! All that means is that I am trying to understand the "Human Animal" from a Universal Perspective. I call it my "Profession" because it is what I "Do" in terms of contributing to the Human Drama... not because I make a "living" at it. It's my "Purpose" in life, so to speak. Specifically, I'm concerned with what "divides" People... not only on an "InterPersonal" Level... but also on an "IntraPersonal" Level. And not only in the "Physical and Social Realm", but also the "Spiritual" or "Energy" Realm. To briefly expound... To understand those truths, one must first be able to perceive Universal Reality. Further, one must be able to Recognize "Artificial" Reality, differentiate it from Universal Reality... and then determine what aspects of Artificial Realty are in "harmony" with Universal Reality and what aspects are in "disharmony"... thus creating "Existential Dissonance" and "Disease". Simple... From a "human" perspective (which is the only one I have to work with) Universal Reality only comes in degrees. We cannot perceive it in its "Totality". And we can probably not Holistically "Experience" it either. What we do is become increasingly more "Aware" of Universal Reality through "Intent". You first have to "Desire" Knowledge. Second, you have to make it "Primary". Your Knowledge will only be as great as your sacrifice... but you need only sacrifice that which you never had to begin with. I just can't resist a little "Philosophy" now and then. "Awareness" of Universal Reality takes its form mentally as mainly "Concepts". To "Communicate" those Concepts, we must formulate Language "Definitions" reflecting those Concepts relative to Consciousness. Then, somehow, we must bridge the gap between the "old" definitions and the "new" ones... all the time trying to maintain the experience of "Sanity", which for the most part is simply "agreed upon definitions" by Society or a Sub-Culture. Not exactly a Garden Party. Pursuing my "Notions" and "Theories" further is one of the most important purposes for My Web Site. I hope it will be one of the most Interesting and Beneficial aspects of the Site to You. If you would like to help me expand and complete My Ideas... then please express your comments and criticisms. Ask questions and offer Ideas of your own. Like a Seed trying to Grow, the "World" is the Ground, the Conflict and Structure we need to Grow "through". But You and I are the Water and the Nutrients that we need to give Each Other "Life". Hey, sounds like a plan to me! Hope to hear from You soon...
