As I am writing the manifesto for lucid.observer,
I started listing some of the liberation steps one
can take in order to be happier, healthier and
more 'free' from our modern life.
This is not a list of precept I live by, it's more
of a conversation starter about what I see making my
life heavier and how I can lighten the load. I'd love
to hear about your own process of lightening, or
letting go of thing that aren't useful anymore.
I'll be writing about each of these lines in future
phlog, my mind is already trying to explain each
of them as I was writing them!
