These limits are to be found experimentally and experientially. When so found these limits turn out to be further beliefs to be transcended. In the province of the mind there are no limits. However, in the province of the body there are definite limits not to be transcended.

Sorry didn’t watch Fear Factor. You ought to condense your blogs into a novel. We need a new Kerouac, Bukawski, Burroughs, Fante, etc... They all just took from their experience and wrote about it. You have some great insights and good writing, go for it! UFC announcer, comedian and Novelist. If you are unfamiliar to Fante, let me know and I will send you a book. Might see you at Legends soon. Peace. Mark Joe,

I have a question, but I will save it to the end. Hey, remember when the internet just started... my Dad was the computer guy for a school district so he/they had one of the first internet connections in the U.S. and he was showing it to me.... and we connected to this college that had a couple of text pages up... and we just looking at it going "okay that's really neat.... that we can connect over there... but there's nothing really there.... there's no... like.... where's the show?" So anyway.... flash forward to now and the connections are so much faster and more people are there and more stuff is there it's just this awesome world, right? So anyway, on to my question..... It's a 3-parter. One: how come sometimes you seem like such a cool guy and sometimes you seem like such an a-hole? Do you think one of the personalities will eventually win? If so, which one? Also, do you sometimes try to be gross just so you can see how gross you can be and still not be completely and entirely sexually repulsive? Is this like a contest with yourself? I'm just asking. Love, Bongo. :P Dear Mr. Rogan,

Such a large portion of our species seeks to find satisfaction in the form of enlightenment, salvation, happiness, however you want to phrase it. The key to fnding these goals to to reach them yourself, not through someone else's experiences. This is why I walked away from organized religions and their suggestions as to how to find happiness. Not saying their suggestions can't work for the others, but it is foolish to think their path can be another's as it may not agree with one's reason and common sense. Sometimes the most profound and beautiful discoveries are hidden in the simpliest and most obvious places. I'm a relatively new reader here and just wanted to say cool the isolation tank seems. I have tried various forms of meditation and inevitably my weak-minded ADD kicks in and I start focusing on things outside myself. Our 24x7 media culture has made it harder than ever to develop and nurture out ability to spend time in deep thought. (I'm the first to admit that my feable monkey brain would be a prototype for an Emperial Storm Trooper Clone, quick to let Obi-Won and Luke pass declaring, "These are not the droids we are looking for," but TV, text messages, IM, etc certainly hasn't helped to lengthen my attention span.) A tool like the isolation tank physically removes all the variables our minds are so quick to focus on. That is genius. Developing out deep thought abilities is so incredibly important to success in life, in anything. Our brains are physical organs, not magical spiritual mysteries that over the centuries our ancestors believed them to be. The food we eat effects them and the exercise we give them are important to their function. Our brain's fucnction allows us to do amazing things, not only mentally, but physically as well. When Joe describes being "on" while stage its the result of his brain functioning at a higher level. Words aren't processed on the way to his lips, they just come out. Its the same as Micheal Jordan when he winked at the announcers after hitting his sixth 3 ball in the first half of an NBA finals game. The same as Tiger Woods going 15-under in 4 rounds at Pebble Beach in 2000. The same as Roger Federer creating angles and shots his oppenens have never seen. The same as Anderson Silva rolling his head and hands looking for the perfect opening to striking, peotry in motion. The same as Dustin Hazlett turning a wizzer into an armbar without ever practicing the move. Athletes call it being in the zone. Jazz musicians call it being in the flow. Its a beautiful thing. Its a hard place to achieve and only through exercising our brains can we reach that place more often where our mental capacity allows us to do things physically that are amazing. The isolation tank seems to be a excellent tool to help one train their mind to tap into that "zone" no matter how you express yourself more often. Great stuff Joe.

Mr Rogan, I know you're a busy man, but by coincidence I'm writing a book about aliens ( this is how I get here) and my theory is soo much resembeling with yours that I think we should talk about it. So if you can overcome the natural thought that i'm just another internet crazy fan and what i have asked you it agrees with your own reason and your own common sense:) please write me an e-mail. i couldn't really find your adress Maybe the whole ideea of evolution is: us growing to the point where we’re gonna be able to perceive another realities that co-exsits with/in our reality.
