Episode 6

Movement

Jimmy asks, "What happened to us when we were young that led us to the place where we met?"

Phreddie begins by explaining that what he is won't be visible until the end of the world, and he concludes by sharing a question that he has had since adolescence: "Why am I me? How come I'm a 'me'?"

Jazzy responds with an "I am." And, he tells that he was dropped on his head and zapped by electricity, which he believes led to developing his awareness of existence. Jazzy explains that high stress is an important aspect of his recognition of "I am."

When Jimmy answers his own question he moves us toward separation -- his recognition of his existence arrived when he glanced into a mirror. His separation from himself led him toward acting, drama, and the appreciation of black sheep.

After the individual memories and recollections Jimmy, Jazzy, and Phreddie discuss family constructs, university, and psychoactive substances. Jimmy calls them "articulators".

This episode reveals a few details about the inner-workings of THE THREE-HEADED MAN.

Fred M Schill

I like to do. I like to make things. And, I like telling stories. I tell stories to myself and to others.

First, a short biography, which is, of course, is a story. I was born in Cleveland, played sports, and attended university. Later, after a few years in the radio business, I returned to university to study education and literature.

With a teaching certificate in my file folder, I began working in high schools, first as a strike-breaking scab substitute teacher in Cleveland's far suburbs, and then in Chicago, mostly in private high schools.

Cleveland and Chicago. My two main towns, and I escaped them both. Presently, I live in a tiny, isolated, mountain village in Spain. I am reluctant to write the name of the town because I don't like tourists. When the tourists arrive, they look at me as if I am an animal in a zoo.
