“Mobile homing” by DocHarvOtto@juno.com (Sept 2004)

Updated 09-20-04

Throughout his entire human life, Harv has traveled. In retirement, Harv has developed Everlasting Travel, and more recently, Harv has appreciated both the local and non local aspects of Everlasting Travel. Then, as if a rolling stone gathers no moss, Harv began to develop thoughts about Mobile Homing.

The term Mobile Homing came from the idea of his growing comfort with his mobile home or re-creation vehicle (RV). That RV, beyond a simple recreation vehicle, facilitates freedom within his territory.

Human territory for Harv equates to his world, contrasted with the earth world as inhabited by 100 billion humans and their collective thoughts, talks, and writings.

If one sits on a ‘fence’ 10,000 miles from the human earth world, the earth’s living human population, their spirituality, and their material possessions are not apparent.

Fence-sitting was sparked in Harv’s mind by a one-hour religious discussion in a public restaurant. That idea has everything to do with Harv’s mobile homing.

Homing

Perhaps the human homing function can be identified as the facilitation of the basic human needs of existence, relatedness, and growth.

FACILITATE: transitive verb: to make easier: help bring about <facilitate economic recovery>: Synonyms EASE 3 [EASE: freedom from or mitigation of pain <medication brought him instant ease>: Synonyms alleviation, easement, mitigation, relief: Related Word decrease, diminishment, moderation, reduction; calming, soothing: Contrasted Words discomfort, unrest; agony, pain]. (M-W.com).

Harv has labored long with the idea of a life of ease – always by working harder, or working more. Working smarter for Harv – never coming close to ‘instant genius’ – also entailed working more. Fence climbing may well be an apt description of the process, worthy of further exploratory thought.

FUNCTION: synonyms FUNCTION, OFFICE, DUTY, PROVINCE mean the acts or operations expected of a person or thing. FUNCTION implies a definite end or purpose that the one in question serves or a particular kind of work it is intended to perform <the function of language is two-fold: to communicate emotion and to give information -- Aldous Huxley>. OFFICE is typically applied to the function or service expected of a person by reason of his trade or profession or his special relationship to others <they exercise the offices of the judge, the priest, the counsellor -- W. E. Gladstone>. DUTY applies to a task or responsibility imposed by one's occupation, rank, status, or calling <it is the judicial duty of the court, to examine the whole case -- R. B. Taney>. PROVINCE applies to a function, office, or duty that naturally or logically falls to one <nursing does not belong to a man; it is not his province -- Jane Austen>. (M-W.com).

Functional Organization is the sliver of science that logically answers the why question, then in the interest of validity reverses direction to answer the how (the way) question. How-Why Diagrams and Precedence Network Databases are tools of Functional Organization. In short, Harv’s why answer for his life as an organization aims at joy, love, and freedom. As has been the case throughout his life, he seeks to integrate the functionality of “homing”.

Home: verb Inflected Form(s): homed; HOMING Intransitive senses 1: to go or return home, 2 of an animal: to return accurately to one's home or natal area from a distance 3: to proceed to or toward a source of radiated energy used as a guide <missiles home in on radar> 4: to proceed or direct attention toward an objective <science is homing in on the mysterious human process -- Sam Glucksberg> Transitive senses: to send to or provide with a home.

Using what Harv describes as the fifteenth re-creation of his life time, Harv notes that the “proceeding to or toward a source” was the same as he as a toddler or he as he is sixty-five years later - that life process is managing his life ‘well’. The proof of Harv’s wellness being non hypertensive, that is, being tensive without having excess weight and high blood pressure. Can Harv become ‘hyper’ prioritized so as to be tensive without hypertension?

TENSIVE: adjective: of, relating to, or causing tension.

TENSION: noun 1a: the act or action of stretching or the condition or degree of being stretched to stiffness [not flexible]: TAUTNESS b: STRESS 2a: either of two balancing forces causing or tending to cause extension b: the stress resulting from the elongation of an elastic body 3a: inner striving, unrest, or imbalance often with physiological indication of emotion b : a state of latent hostility or opposition between individuals or groups c : a balance maintained in an artistic work between opposing forces or elements 4: a device to produce a desired tension (as in a loom) - tensional adjective - tensionless adjective.

Harv, seemingly forever, has had “inner striving, unrest, or imbalance often with physiological indication of emotion”. Additionally, he clearly seeks “a balance maintained in an artistic work between opposing forces or elements”. Fence Sitting may be just the term that signifies that balanced tension, for it may not be easy to fence sit, but it may be the essential for Harv to continue the progression of remaining life time.

Thus Harv ‘homes’, or practices ‘mobile homing’.

MOBILE: adjective 1: capable of moving or being moved: MOVABLE <a mobile missile launcher> 2a: changeable in appearance, mood, or purpose <mobile face> b: ADAPTABLE, VERSATILE 3: MIGRATORY 4a: characterized by the mixing of social groups b: having the opportunity for or undergoing a shift in status [ballroom dance and conversation leads] within the hierarchical social levels of a society [defined Orlando dance scene Nov 2004] <socially mobile workers> 5: marked by the use of vehicles for transportation <mobile warfare> 6: of or relating to a mobile - mobility noun.

Harv has proven to be “capable of moving”, “adaptable”, “versatile”, and “characterized by the mixing of social groups”. The Mobile Homing phase of Harv’s life time (re-creation 15) will be “marked by the use of vehicles for transportation”, even more emphatically than in his previous life phases – local car travel, national car travel, bicycling within minutes, inline skating within several more minutes, and hiking within still more minutes. Harv will tryout the practicality of GPS for this life phase.

Childhood

At his conception, Harv was a mistake. The mistake was not corrected because of the fear of religious retribution - mortal sin, et al. Days before Harv's birth a wedding provided him with two parents of record. Mother and sister-in-law were close and father was deferred from World War II for truck driving. Despite the war, Harv's life began happily, and to his benefit he was provided with developmental alone time. As a toddler and then as a child, Harv was brought up to be alone - an essential that vitally contributed to the persona of Happy Harv.

ALONE: adjective 1: separated from others: ISOLATED 2: exclusive of anyone or anything else: ONLY 3a: considered without reference to any other <the children alone would eat that much> b: INCOMPARABLE, UNIQUE <alone among their contemporaries in this respect> - aloneness noun. Synonyms ALONE, SOLITARY, LONELY, LONESOME, LONE, FORLORN, DESOLATE mean isolated from others. ALONE stresses the objective fact of being by oneself with slighter notion of emotional involvement than most of the remaining terms <everyone needs to be alone sometimes>. SOLITARY may indicate isolation as a chosen course <glorying in the calm of her solitary life> but more often it suggests sadness and a sense of loss <left solitary by the death of his wife>. LONELY adds to SOLITARY a suggestion of longing for companionship <felt lonely and forsaken>. LONESOME heightens the suggestion of sadness and poignancy <an only child often leads a lonesome life>. LONE may replace LONELY or LONESOME but typically is as objective as ALONE <a lone robin pecking at the lawn>. FORLORN stresses dejection, woe, and listlessness at separation from one held dear <a forlorn lost child>. DESOLATE implies inconsolable grief at loss or bereavement <desolate after her brother's death>.

BRING UP

SOCILIZE

SOCIAL

MATURITY: noun 1: the quality or state of being mature; especially: full development 2: termination of the period that an obligation has to run.

Being raised cannot be considered as childhood training - Harv's being raised was more of a personal development. Harv was left alone to manage his life in pursuit of his basic human needs of existence, relatedness, and growth.

Existence

Existence as an only child. Latchkey. Parochial education - Sister of Notre Dame, Dominicans, and Jesuits - lifelong learning was instilled. Summer farm work. Worked for spending money. Worked his way through school.

Relatedness

Relatedness development was not impressed by his kin nor his educators. A fatally flawed marriage was sanctioned by his relatedness environment.

Growth

Growth meant job recognition - he moved on for the challenge of social statue, monetary gain, but unsupported in family socialness - a factor in declining promotion to a substantial Vice Presidential position. After that, growth was titled but not substantial eroding mid-life crisis. Harv returned to education as a job as well as for personal growth, working on his post PhD interests intertwined with early retirement.

 

Loner functionality exemplifies itself from toddler, through childhood, a bland teenage period with great sexual curiosity - without relatedness, sex developed as masturbation. Decades of relatedness with females always reduced to prostitution - when Harv's monetary earnings weren't there or was threatened, the females went to greener pastures - his loner status was developed further, moving further from the monetary earnings of careers to the development of earning the joy, love, and freedom promised from his study and experience in psychology through his master's degree in Business, education administration career, doctorate dissertation of Functional Organization, and post PhD work, including reconciliation with religious and spiritual tenets.

Retirement progress.

Mobile Homing saga.

What Mobile Homing is not?

Central Florida Mobile Homing. Tina relationship provided Home Caring for Bob, Inga, and TLC. Williamsburg Tina moving toward family has ended. Children Chris, Lisa, and Sue have responded to Harv's challenge for a relationship with Harv, yet socialized talk time remains smothered. "A familial relationship measured in whole hours requires talk time." Instances - Williamsburg Tina and Lance, Baldwin Park Tina and Lance withdrew (no whole hours), Chris was tweaked by chance bicycle trail meeting, he sent e-mail from his work because Tina has cut communication (also with 'cutie'), Harv vocalized, "The harder Harv tries, the worse things get." Harv's trying smarter entails love on the challenge level. TLC priorities have precluded what Harv describes as the Williamsburg familial relationship phase. Assuming that Harv has adequately communicated challenges for familial relationships to each adult child, then Harv must, for his own growth, turn from the shunning silence (lock out) - turning instead to open doors. [A familial relationship understanding must be discussed before Harv responds to another "A child in need is a friend indeed" situation.]

The following muse therefore excludes ongoing children relationships because they have been truncated.

Orange County offers Public WiFi, St.Cloud offers Cyber Spot, temperate weather, beaches, parks with electricity, West Kissimmee Motel 6 as a low cost resort (pool sunning, Celebration skating, bicycling to St. Cloud and possibly beyond), ...

Life resume includes excellence as a (1) male companion to ladies (Harv's ideation - however, most were simply monetary prostitutes), (2) 24/7 live-in Home Share companion with relief when relatives visited the house, (3) sex partner - although no female ever lasted as a life partner, (4) recover from health abuse - codependence, fatness, hypertension, cholesterol, etc.

If nil familial relationship pulls the rug from Home Caring then Mobile Homing may be the developed outcome - Nona Lake and DeBary 'home care' could be seen as Mobile Homing. In a stretch, being a Gentleman Host may also fit into the Mobile Homing framework (joy love freeing would be the resulting work of the frame). 'Trolling' for (1)-(4) can now be definitively stopped in self interest resulting in being in the best response position for familial relationships (talking partnerships for self and others, specifically as respect, encouragement, and challenge - the following changes the x-y matrix display).

Self respect - CLEARING (surf - web and television, local and regional travel, U.S. travel), RESTING (resorting and sleeping), HEALTHING (regiments - weight, sun, nutrition, teeth, Rx for blood donation, ...), ...

Self encouragement - HOMING, EXERCISING, SPIFFING, ...

Self challenge - WORDING (lucid web site), GROWING, COMPANYING (blood donation, cruise travel), ...

The above says that Harv's companying will come through Harv's growing and preceedingly from wording. For example, this worded analysis paralleled growing and can lead Harv to substantial companying that is one of Harv's basic needs expressed as existence, relatedness, and growth. The problem is that Harv's growing prerequisites Harv's companying - not of his choice but of the others' choices. In the past exposure led to consequential companying - McDonald's for Tom and Earl, blood donation centers toward the six billion living of the 100 billion of the spirit of God - the wholly spirit. However, Harv needs substantial companying (joying, loving, freeing). Substantial companying currently does not include family thus Harv must move to companying on the open market - blood donation centers since my skill is O- blood type, cruise ship dancing and conversation because of his success with non success with ladies and men - a requisite for Gentleman Host assuming that as the best fit for his skill set.

The afore finds encouragement support from homing for exercising for a long life and spiffing for self joy love and challenge that also integrates with substantial companying while using consequential companying.

The basics as clearing > resting > healthing solidifies by wording > growing thus Harv's wholly spirit can expand for a longer and fuller life time.

Harv listens to Tom and Earl but must move on to more substance. Mother is not friendly thus Harv separates a 2005 U.S. travel tour from family proximity. Family chasing (expectations) have been deratchited - if the makings are not there Harv can't invent on his own. Harv can only communicate. Martin died after I left. Pauline hoped I would come back for a year. Susan called Harv to California. Susan called Harv to Ohio. Harv assisted Susan's move to California. Harv assisted the TLC move to Baldwin Park. Harv must now walk away from those love challenges. Being excluded from those passing situations doesn't mean that Harv was responsible for the exclusion (all his life and religious training specifically the sin of omission), rather Harv must communicate the challenge and find is own way in his ever-expanding world - thus Everlasting Travel and now Mobile Homing.
