In the 1970s, in his mid 30s, experiencing a crisis of meaning, Jack Wells builds a traditional sailing vessel, resigns his university professorship and disappears over the horizon.In the islands, dropped out of society, Captain Jack in search of his lost meaning, conducts LSD research, with himself as the subject (the internal voyage).Simultaneously, Jack plans and implements a do it yourself smuggling venture to Jamaica, with cargoes of ganja stored in secret compartments on his sailing vessel (the external voyage). Before long, exposed to the rigors of third world reality, the plan melts down, the figurative sails blow out and the unconscious takes control of both voyages and steers Jack and his crew into uncharted waters. The Free Flow Manuscript was written in the late 1970s from Jacks’s field notes; but the resulting MS. was stored in a beer box for more than 30 years before it was published herein. The result is a psychological mystery story where nobody is quite sure about just what happened, back then.Come join Captain Jack and his crew as they voyage into the antipodes of the unconscious.THE FREE FLOW BOOKS and how they fit together:The Free Flow Manuscripts (abbreviated as FFMS), this book, is the original manuscript; and it contained all of both the External Narrative (Ganja Voyage) and the Internal Narrative (Field Notes on Self).Ganja Voyage (abbreviated as GV) is the stand alone version of the external narrative of FFMS.Field Notes on Self (abbreviated as Field Notes) is the stand alone version of the internal narrative of FFMS.Free Flow Receptions (abbreviated as Receptions) is a stripped down version of Field Notes on Self. By design it focuses ONLY on the transpersonal content of the internal narrative.
