A decade ago an idea was born. I was in my early 20s and just beginning my struggles with mental health and addiction, a journey which would take years longer to come full circle. From the intensity of my psychological turmoil, a seed of compassion for others suffering was planted deep within me. I did not, and do not want to see other humans suffering the way I once was. It is heartbreaking to think that despite my years of difficulties, I had it good compared to billions of other people living in impoverished or war torn countries. Thus, from that seed of compassion Elysium Project has flowered.
Society is broken, and for the sake of humanity and the planet it is imperative we do better . Elysium Project is a collective of individuals passionate about fostering positive social and spiritual change in the 21st Century. In addition to posting articles on Steemit, Elysium Project will be releasing regular podcasts and YouTube content starting in April.
My search for the answers to suffering has taken me down many diverse paths over my life. It is my aim through articles, podcasting, and a future book to impart the lessons I have learned along the way. From Zen Buddhism, to raw food, to cryptocurrency; I have been on a impassioned journey for over a decade seeking the answers to how we can collectively thrive as a species.
By applying very specific principles and techniques, I have managed to cultivate a life of abundant joy and incredible health. I believe everyone deserves to feel the same, however often barricades within society hold us back from reaching our peak potential. I am confident that if we work together we can take the power back into our own hands, and create a global society based on abundance and joy, instead of scarcity and fear. This is Elysium Project; This is our time.
