At the beginning of Epoch One, Harv thinks he was a normal happy curious toddler (with pic evidence), and not particularly sheltered.  

His toddler education was kindergarten at public school, then parochial elementary a mile away.

He holds the opinion that he was never shut down, that is, mostly ignored to his own devices.  Neither parent was excited about getting caught by pregnancy, and the decision not to have an abortion, although debated, and the subsequent shotgun wedding a month before Harv’s full term birth ! 

It probably happened in mid elementary grades, that is, the infection with lifelong learning.

Lifelong learning is the "ongoing, voluntary, and self-motivated"[1] pursuit of learning for either personal or professional reasons.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lifelong_learning

Beginning in Epoch Four, Happy Harv has again 'arrived' in his lifetime as that Happy Harv !   He has become whole, as in wholistic.  He has confirmed this through his recent 2023 'Yogananda' study -- but never anywhere near conversion.  He is satisficed.

WHOLISTIC: adjective  variant spelling of holistic.(OAD)        holistic: adjective: characterized by the belief that the parts of something are interconnected and can be explained only by reference to the whole.(OAD)

SATISFICE: verb formal: accept an available option as satisfactory.(OAD)

Harv the LONER finds his continuing 2023 lifestyle satisfactory, that is specifically, living out of his car, as he has done for decades, now in Four Townes, Florida; for peace and convenience.

 CONSTANT CHANGE, ACTIVITY, OR PROGRESS

Evidence:

  • educational degrees -- BSME1960  MBA 1970 CMA 1974 PhD1996.
  • 1400 page dissertation on Functional Organization -- post-PhD personal case study.
  • struggle to write/publish his case study -- 2010 began web site activity
  • a current dynamic world -- COA changes, government developments, his car wears, he ages, ...  (Ben Franklin from is Poor Richard's Almanac)"The harder [Harv adds smarter] I work, the luckier I get."
  • he navigates/studies through his dynamic pie-of-life -- joyfully, lovingly, freeing, ... 
Blog development

The 2024 New-Year blog body compared a historical hermit image with his 2008 CA toast under BIO.  But that scene of comparison has past its time since his peace/convenience personal actualization of his me-self life-history.  Saved in entirty below :

This 2024 New Year publishment marked an understanding of the comparison of the historical hermit and Harv in 2008, also a hermit at that time, and perhaps a life-long trait.
