About the Blog

Welcome to my blog. I’m a writer. The name of this blog is derived from the words ‘Zarzuela’ (Spanish Opera) and ‘Zen’ (A school of Buddhism). This blog is about the art and science of exploration, in which the aim is to explore life outside the box.

I have four main interests: ‘life hacking’ , which is the art of finding creative solutions to the problems of life, speculative fiction, life extension and travel.

A world without imagination and aesthetic taste is a world ruled by mindless rules, intolerable limitations and endless boredom, both internal (psychological) and external (social). A world mired in illusion (’The Matrix’). But there is no need to play by such rules. Outside the box of self-imposed confinement lie infinite vistas of beauty and excitement that we can scarely imagine. It’s time to awaken from the Matrix! If the rules are not in our favor, the rules will have to be broken. And the power that must be harnessed is the power of the mind itself, not just rationality, but something even greater, the power of imagination.
