Powe Stories

This is going to be a ff

An upcoming publication of aphorisms, parables, lines, thoughts.

Part fiction, part memoir, Outage is a journey that brings the reader through the familiar dissonance of our present age--dissonance created by the magnetic, electrical forces of the universe which we absorb daily through television, radio and other signals. B.W. Powe explores the moment of darkness so many of us know, when life simply seems to spin apart around us. These occasions, may be precipitated by personal events--divorce, drug abuse--or simply by our inability to absorb any more information. Starting with the stock market crash of 1987, moving back to the suburban shelter of the 1970s and forward to the streets and underground clubs of our modern urban age, Outage takes us on a trip to a world that is at once painfully familiar and hauntingly surreal. "Powe has created something remarkable...a sort of video novel, a hybrid of genres and media that transcends the ordinary and offers a new vision in a new way of a society dancing to electronically generated signals..."

Someone does their best to free a prisoner, but after much effort and sweat he realizes that the prisoner refuses his own freedom. The prison is in his mind-he is a hostage to his own mind, such a person has been captured by consensual oppression. Helping someone in consensual oppression can be one of life's most frustrating tasks. Only the metaphysical brain can release such a prisoner. Metaphysics, unlike rationalist philosophy, does not belong to the world of ideas and theories and therefore cannot be isolated from experience. Most of us are driven by the psychophysical brain, which has been in charge of our game, our beliefs, our ideologies, our preferences, our rules and judgments about life, values, morals. This work is an invitation to the reader to let himself be led by the metaphysical brain, which does not recognize the game, the rules, the ideologies, the concepts and prejudices formulated and formatted by the psychophysical brain, prisoner of matter. The metaphysical brain will reveal to us things that challenge our beliefs and our game, what we believe about time and space, life and death, body and soul, health and disease, energy and matter, self and we, earth and sky, man and woman, heaven and hell, good and evil, God and devil. However, if you enjoy a good challenge, welcome to read this book.

The Phoenix is an alliance of men and women who will not stand by and watch evil thrive.
