I want to do and get all I want and need most and to experience totally the feelings that come up along the way.

I want to get behind others doing and getting all they want and need most and experiencing the feelings that come up along their way. I want help getting people all the way into their feelings, into the cathartic, all-the-way-to-the-bottom experience.

I want people to get behind each other doing all this. I want people to want to get behind each other. If you don't want to, then I want you not to.

I want you to post all your wants and needs here.

I want to obey the law and to work to abolish the laws I don't like. I want to experience the feelings that come up regarding laws I don't like but which will probably never be abolished. I want others to do the same: obey the law, work to abolish the laws you don't like, experience your feelings about the ones that may be here to stay.

I want you to know that I have no license or certification to support people doing emotional work, I don't want one, I don't think any such thing exists, and I hope it never does. I've been doing emotional work for over 25 years, mostly on myself, but with others as well. The concept couldn't be simpler. It's difficult, I think, because it's antithetical to the way human cultures have worked for about as long as human cultures have been around. What's actionable about getting behind others doing and getting all they want and need most and experiencing the feelings that come up along the way? Particularly if it's free. (There are conditions under which I might charge.)

I want totally candid feedback on everything that I'm doing: the Woods Place, emotional work, I Am The Emperor,this website, this list of wants and needs, everything. Don’t worry, I'll experience totally the feelings your feedback stimulates. I want any help I can get in making any of this--Woods Place, website, me--better.

I want people to get bulletin board ads from me or the Woods Place and post them on bulletin boards as desired.

I want to go anywhere in the world to promote the four emotional work components:

I want kivas or comparable spaces to appear all over the world. I want them in the workplace, for example, in large corporations. I want professional athletes, entertainers, business executives, public officials and everybody else in the world using them--together.

I want emotional work group living to spread throughout the world. If people don't want to live that way, I want them not to.

I want as much help and support for all this as I can get, and I want to help and support anyone else who wants to do it.

I want to print, publish and sell I Am The Emperor.

I want to live a long life, I want to learn how to optimize my chances of doing it, I want to practice rigorously whatever is involved and to get all the help and support I can in practicing it.

I want people to come to the Woods Place. I want them to stay as long as they want, to live here if they want, to leave when they want and come back when they want. I want them to handle, to get help in handling, and to help others handle the material living arrangements.

I want activities at the Woods Place not to disturb my excellent neighbors in any way shape or form.

I want to build a "module" where I will do most of my living and working, where I could be alone--or alone with--when I want. Being alone or alone with when you want is essential, I think, to successful emotional work group living.

I want to be involved in the raising of children at the Woods Place.

I want to give things to people. I want to give only because it's fun, a turn on. I want my giving to be as free as possible of obligation or guilt.

I want people to give me all kinds of stuff--total erotic and romantic love (if I want it from them), body rubs, delicious food, door stops for my French doors, etc., etc. etc. I want people to give me all this because it's fun, a turn-on, as free as possible of obligation or guilt. I want to get stuff from people because they want to give it to me as badly as I want to get it.

I want money. I want to have enough debt-free assets to give away half my income, to reinvest a quarter and to live on the rest.

I want to display all Woods Place finances and my personal finances on this website. I want to see a lot--maybe all--of what we customarily hide open to the sun. Privacy's silly.

My favorite number is 4. Here are a couple of applications.

Here's what I am:
Weak
Lazy
Stupid
Cowardly

Here's what I want:
Beauty
Love
Wisdom
Power

I want to freely share my erotic and romantic desires and fantasies and, consistent with the law, I want to pursue them. I want everyone in the world to do the same. I want the Woods Place to be a place where you can feel completely safe about sharing your desires and fantasies and, consistent with the law, pursuing them. Erotic and romantic ecstasy and fulfillment have got to be the first want and need of just about everything that lives.

I want to see Safe Fun Sex seminars here. The goal would be to share information and experience on achieving consummate erotic and romantic ecstasy and fulfillment completely free of risks of unwanted pregnancy or sexually transmitted diseases. Again, I want people to work to change those laws they don't like and to experience their feelings about the ones that probably won't change.

I want to have more fun: I want to wrestle, backpack, ride horses, ski and surf. I want to dance more. Dancing's my second favorite.

I want ideas for fun in the woods: games? tree swings of some kind? without compromising safety. I want vigorous physical fun here, and some kind of group water experience--hot tub(s)? improve the ponds?

I want to give and get body work:

Scratch
Scrub
Rub
Caress
Soft touch
Cuddle

I would love to own a mid-sized RV with kitchen and sleeping facilities, bathroom, all accessible to everyone in the vehicle while it's moving. I'd love to travel in it with others, especially young people, in the United States and elsewhere in this hemisphere. I'd love to use it to run around the hemisphere promoting emotional work.

I want to travel in Europe again, to see some of the prehistoric cave painting sites, to see Egypt, the sites of earliest civilization, Jericho, southern Iraq. I want to travel to remote parts of the world: inner Africa? inner Asia? Mongolia? Possibly alone, possibly with others, I haven't worked that out.

I want lunch at Buckingham Palace with Queen Elizabeth II.

I want Prince William of Wales, Bill Gates and every other celebrity in the world to do emotional work, to come visit or live in the Woods Place and to become intimate friends. We'll work out the challenges of overcrowding.

I want to be a celebrity.

I want to do emotional work rallies, ultimately in stadiums.

I want to do extended interviews of people, over a weekend for example, in which the interviewees can completely relax and unwind all of what they feel, perceive and think. I want their philosophy, what they want people to learn. Interviewees will have total censorship over what appears publicly.

I'd love to share a little pied à terrein New York, with a well sound-proofed kiva available to others interested in emotional work. Maybe one in Philadelphia too. Los Angeles. I love great cities.

I want to write and direct the 4-part series of movies, I Am The Emperor,a draft of which I started before writing the book.

I want to read and understand the great Western philosophers, particularly of the 20th and 21st centuries. I'd like to network in this enterprise, take classes, read and discuss texts with others. I'd like to do this with other disciplines--psychology, the history of earth and early man, etc.

I want to read more of the great literature of the Western tradition, poetry, fiction, non-fiction. I want to hear and know more of our culture's great music, classical and popular, and to see more of our great art. I have a long list of movies I want to see. Consistent with optimal health, I'd like to eat more food prepared by people who take the culinary arts seriously. And I want to explore all these areas of other cultures.

I want the world to use radically less lawn land, to probe the splendors of living in the woods. Keep cleared what you actually use--for vegetable gardens, lawn parties, sports and other fun--and let the rest go. It's called succession and I think it's a spectacular sight. Look hard at all those ugly weeds. They're actually not ugly at all. I love to see what plant life comes and goes in succession. And the animal life that returns. Let the processes of nature manage themselves. Do that and we'll radically increase the earth's ability to cleanse and renew the atmosphere, to convert carbon dioxide to oxygen and to replenish the ozone layer. We'll also radically decrease the pollution generated by our obsessive use of power mowers. I want to see corporations do this, highways, housing developments and retirement communities.

It's splendid in here in the woods. Small pieces of land become huge and dramatically varied. I hate the sterile unused lawns owned by people who sermonize about biodiversity. The earth and life on it did fine for upwards of 4 billion years without human management, "stewardship." It's we, of course, who need the stewardship, the radical pruning.

It seems like I finished drafting this entire website within minutes of the World Trade Center/Pentagon attacks which have changed so much the consciousness of about everybody in the world. I'm not moved to change much of anything here, it seems if anything more pertinent now, and I want comment on this.

Here are some other people's wants and needs. I want you to fill them or help fill them, but only if you really want to--as badly as they want them. More than that I want you to post yours.Call, email us.
