Rudi, Someone awhile back posted what I thought was an EXCELLENT suggestion regarding where to find prospective cryonauts. Adventure seekers. (I wish I could recall who it was, as they deserve credit/attribution. Can someone help out here?) The adventurous. Folks who love life in the extreme. Who demonstrably can't get enough, and are always searching for the next, bigger rush. People who want more. The ad in the back of the magazine(s) might go something like this: You wake up each morning, your pulse racing with excitement. Life is ...dazzling. You can't get enough. You cannot fathom--and feel saddened for--those who don't experience the joy and wonder. Zorba is your role model. Your 'native land' is out of the box and beyond the envelope. The love you share with your tribe of fellow adventurers is as incandescent as your lust for life. Enthusiasm is your watchword. Enthusiasm in the ancient Greek sense. That's why you read this magazine, and why you're searching the ads for the next--perhaps the "ultimate"--adventure. Well, guess what? You've found it. The ultimate adventure. The adventure beyond imagination. Over the top? Exaggeration? Maybe. But,...maybe not. It's your call. Got enthusiasm? enthusiasm ( n-th z - z em) noun (Archaic) Ecstasy arising from supposed possession by a god. [Late Latin enth siasmus, from Greek enthousiasmos, from enthousiazein, to be inspired by a god, from entheos, possessed : en-, in. See en-2 + theos, god.] "possession by a god," recorded in English (1603). Enthusiasm in this sense goes back to the Greek word enthousiasmos, which ultimately comes from the adjective entheos, "having the god within," formed from en-, "in, within," and theos, "god." [Followed by your contact information, such as:] http://www.beyondimagination.com (or http://www.enthusiasm.com) ------------------------------- Then when they get to your website, tell them about youth, health, beauty, the exploration of the possible,(inner and outer), and the quest of eons--the personal quest--for the wellspring of life, and its destiny in a passionate universe. Sell the sizzle, ...then fill out the paperwork. None of the above is engraved in stone, but you get the picture. Best, Jeff Davis "Everything's hard till you know how to do it."
