Most people spend a lot of their time thinking of the past and the future. They wait for the fun and
interesting things to happen. They wait for the weekend to come along, then they feel bad Sunday night
because they know that they have to wake up the next day and go to work. While at work, they get bored
and watch the clock. Time moves slowly for them until lunch time, then their lunch break flies by and they are
back to being bored and watching the clock again. While clearly not a good way to live, it is easier to get by
like this on earth then in space. The problem with space travel is the length of time between the fun and
exciting events can be very long.
Long distance space travel can take many years. A lot of truckers go crazy from boredom. Others quit after
a few runs. Immersion devices helped, but long term use of immersion caused muscle loss and mental illness.
The goal behind Zen Space Trucking is to allow the trucker to stay sane and be happy without the use of
immersion.
Zen Space Trucking is all about the present moment. Making what's happening now count and not thinking
of the future. Arts, crafts, meditation, and martial arts are used to focus attention on the moment. Letting go
of the past and future is important and is also the hardest thing to learn how to do. Becoming a Zen Space
Trucker master can take many years, but even practicing it for a few months can improve a trucker's life and
prevent the onset of space madness.
