Is Jan Diepersloot Dead?

[Laughing Tiger]

I think it was around 2008, on his website, warriorsofstillness.com , Diepersloot annouced the soon coming realease of his third book "Warriors of Perception". I liked his first two books so I began to periodically check the website for the publication date. That was, as stated earlier, back in 2008. After five years of the website never changing unanswered emails, Though I really don't care bout the book so much anymore, I got to ask the question. Dose anyone know; Is this guy dead, in jail, a resthome. Update your website. Take it down completely. He really needs to do something. Maybe he's A hardcore taoist who take the statement litterally. "Do nothing and Nothing will be undone".

It doesn't make a lot of sense to have a web site if you don't update it.

Maybe to fill a screaming void in our collective value system, our community had breathed into hypothetical existence the conception of the perfect fighter who embodies an incompatible combination of extreme traits that no human could experience at the same time without going mad, and included in that conception, as a safety mechanism, is the trait of a ghostly reclusivity so that he is never present to shatter our image of what we need him to be.

Is that from the gun kata oath of allegiance in "Equilibrium" (2002) with Christian Bale?

[Bill]

No, just something I copied a while ago and was waiting for a chance to use it.

Actually, about 2 years ago I think it was, Jan finally replied to my email telling me the book would be available soon but haven't seen or heard anything of him since then. Still hasn't come out afaik.

Nice! What's not to like?

The Invincible Mystical Hermit Ghost Recon Warrior Monk who, of course, when looked for cannot be seen, when listened for cannot be heard, and when reached for cannot be touched!

Ya gotta love it. That's what I wanna be when I grow up.
