Why Being Point Press? Why Us?

Why Point Being Press? Why Us?

KEITH: We've known each other for forty years or so, Hutt, the best of friends possessing the most opposite -- in detail, anyway -- of beliefs about the universe and the way it works.

So how is it we decided not only to write Tougher Times and other books together, but also to start Being Point Press?

Since I asked the question, I'll go first.

That very tension inherent in our contrasting -- possibly a better description than opposite or opposing -- beliefs has always informed our friendship. In doing so, it has also sharpened and refined our thinking. Our differences of belief provides a breadth of insight and approach that has always been invitational rather than exclusionary. We've always enjoyed putting our beliefs on the table and playing them against each other, rather than seeking out only the company of the like-minded.

And we've both been long preoccupied with the idea of a better world, of the quest for that higher understanding of consciousness and existence that unlocks doors and reveals new ones, resolves mysteries while exposing -- and creating! -- new ones.

That dialogue and those explorations are, I think, what Being Point Press and its evolution will be all about. A press and a place where the dialogue can expand, with plenty of room for other explorers and their approaches to join us.

Your turn.
