Alexius Jørgensen was born in 1949 and grew up in Denmark. Nowadays, he is mainly on La Gomera, a small Canary island close to Sahara in Africa. Here is a short listing of his different appearances in a world where there seems to be more than one:
When Alexius was 16, he left school and started working with children. Here he is in one of the houses built with the children. The photo is a snapshot of an image in an old magazine.
NO EDUCATION MAN
It is amazing what one can do without education and not knowing what one is or does.
NIGHTMARE MAN
His childhood was mainly about how to survive his violent dad.
MUSIC MAN
In charge of music at his school and the city’s sports centre (65). Attended many concerts as a teenager, for example, Rolling Stones (65), Bob Dylan (66), Jimi Hendrix and Cream (67). Later on, Bryan Ferry (77), Egberto Gismonti (80), Milton Nascimento (82), Prince (86), Public Enemy (87), Philip Glass (96), Morcheeba (99), and Antony & the Johnsons (05).
KID MAN
Worked with children since he was 16. Two of the bestselling newspapers in his native country wrote articles about how he provided space for children to express themselves.
HIPPIE MAN
Living in a hippie commune from 18 years old.
NOMAD MAN
Travelled in a Volkswagen Camper with his girlfriend around Europe from 19 years old.
TAXI MAN
From 20 years old.
FRENCH MAN
Living in an old village in the south of France since he was 21.
ASHRAM MAN
A monk for four years from he was 22.
ENLIGHTENED MAN
At 22 years old, Alexius momentarily forgot what and where he was. Therefore, since nothing fell through a black hole into that which is One, he is to be compared to the Enlightenment of that which is One.
In this photo from the 70s, Alexius poses for a photographer from one of the many newspapers writing about his restaurants.
BUSINESS-MAN
Alexius started two restaurants and two bars from scratch at 26. One of the restaurants was the first vegetarian restaurant in his native country. The other was among the first nominated to Guide Michelin. A fictional movie based on one of his bars and its characters of models, punks and musicians were produced by Danish Television, who also produced ‘The Killing’ and ‘Borgen’. He started the business adventure without money because he had just moved out of Ashram. But he quickly made a lot that he spent on his material dreams, such as a house on the beach. After 12 years, he lost everything, so he finished the business adventure as he started: without money.
FAMILY MAN
Settled as a family man at the seaside with two beautiful sons from when he was 30.
DJ MAN
Dj’ed at a disco and on the radio when he was 35.
Assistant at a massage school at the beginning of the 90s.
NO SPECIAL MAN
Was chilling out after years of serious business – from 38 years old.
HEALING MAN
Performing aura massage since 41 years old.
TV MAN
Producing television about the darker sides of life since he was 42.
TEACHING MAN
A teacher in graphic design at a Danish School for public relations since 43 years old.
MEDIA MAN
Delivering creative solutions for big and small businesses through his company Mediaman since he was 45.
PHOTO MAN
Until Alexius deleted all of his photos on the web, he was on Google’s list of the best photographers in the world. However, he is not a pro – just someone having fun shooting photos unposed and unarranged without a tripod or concern for the correct exposure, angle and frame but for creating an image reminiscent of the moment as I experience it. Started doing that when he was 56.
Alexius had just been wired up from the rainforest into a helicopter when he realised every moment is perfect. Not in the sense that everything is perfect, but in the sense that the apparent difference between this and that makes no difference. In other words, dying in the forest is just as perfect as surviving it. The photo is shot by one of the saviours.
FUTURE MAN
When Alexius was 57, The Danish Institute of Future Research selected him as a role model for the time to come, calling him a hero of the future.
ART MAN
Curator of several art sites on Google+ since he was 59.
THE PERFECT MOMENT MAN
After being rescued by a helicopter from a rainforest, where Alexius was stuck for two days without food and water when he was 61, he realised every moment is perfect.
DUALITY HACK-MAN
With no forward momentum and thus no expectation of the following words, he began writing Alexius’ Duality Hacks when he was 63.

NO DEFINITE MAN
He does not use Facebook or other social media to be defined as someone. And although a body called Alexius is installed in an apartment with things considered beautiful, and the view is considered paradisaic, there is no ‘I’ with a need to be defined by that, nor by Alexius’ Duality Hacks.
MUMBO JUMBO MAN
Actually, all the above is mumbo jumbo because it takes more than one to be conscious about something, and there is no more than that which is One since it is formless, thus endless, wherefore everything experienced is nothing.
NO MAN HAS EVERYTHING
When experiences are revealed as nothing disguised as something, there does not appear to be anything hiding the formlessness of oneness. Thus you are and have everything. But, of course, that is a metaphor because no one is or has anything in that which is One since that requires more than one.
