I created my own profile using
I'd like to meet:
Those who are committed to living life powerfully.
Those who are committed to bringing up the awareness of themselves and those around them.
Those who hear a call to action to bring new possibility and inspiration to the world.
Those who see life's challenges as opportunities.
Those who speak in love and bring forth the unknown in themselves and others.
Those who embrace "Philosophos" at heart - a love of wisdom.
Those who understand those words that set us free:
"Life is empty and meaningless, AND the fact that life is empty and meaningless is itself EMPTY AND MEANINGLESS."
The zealot, the believer and the knower need not enter.
