Concerning 'False Pretences'
Written in the late-Spring of 1982, this novel has something of a Spring-like ebullience about it which takes us to the Norfolk countryside and to the stratagems of a radical writer-turned-artist by name of Jason Crilly (who for the most part remains veiled behind first-person narrations) to shake off a depression he contracted whilst living alone in an insalubrious part of north London. His wife Susan, whom he married... (posted by John 133 days 12 hours ago.)

The Atomic Limitations of Sanity
Modern man can split the atom through nuclear fission, but unlike me, or my philosophy, he hasn’t learnt to split such terms as ‘freedom’ and ‘sanity’ from their atomic, virtually androgynous worldly traditions into gender-differentiated categories that permit a contrast, either side of liberal relativism, between, say, ‘outsanity’ and ‘insanity’, or ‘somatic...

Jews and the Cross
The Jews have never been too fond of Christianity, with its reliance upon the Cross. One cannot blame them, since the Cross was the scourge of their ancestors under Roman rule and it is doubtful that any Jew with the slightest degree of self-respect could ever wish to identify, much less worship, anyone or anything associated with that! They say that Christ died for the sins of the world, that is, took the sins of the world upon... (posted by John 301 days 10 hours ago.)

Hell is in the Devil as God is in Heaven
In the Alpha of Metachemistry, Hell is in the Devil as, in positive terms (free soma), Love in Beauty, or Hell the Clear Spirit in Devil the Mother and, in negative terms (bound psyche), Hate in Ugliness, or the Clear Soul of Hell in the Daughter of the Devil, with a 3:1 ratio favouing the positive factor. In the Omega of Metaphysics, by contrast, God is in Heaven as, in positive terms (free psyche), Truth in... (posted by John 304 days 19 hours ago.)

Why Egotism Morally Fails the Self
Just as the superego tends, in what I like to think of as its brain-stem proximity to the spinal cord of the central nervous system, to be pro-superconscious and thus effectively pro-metaphysical, so the ego, in its brain-centred proximity to the eyes, tends to be pro-supersensuous and thus effectively pro-metachemical, deferring not to soul but to will, not to essence but to appearance, not to truth but to beauty....

Eschatological Speculations Concerning the Triadic Beyond
I have spoken often enough in the past of the triadic Beyond as not only the stepped-up (resurrected) church-hegemonic axis that would gradually transpire in the event of a majority mandate for religious sovereignty (conceived as the ultimate sovereignty, germane to 'Kingdom Come') in countries with the right kind of axial preconditions traditionally, but as the result, thereafter, of the...
