Ramblings of a drunken monkey
This biography of personal philosophy was started when I was inebriated, the middle bit was done when enlightened and the ending wrote itself. I've dipped in and out of this between life, work, parenting, writing a fiction novel or two, training and healing along the whole way. These are the words that come to me about, well, everything; the way the world works and indeed doesn't work in my eyes. Whether it will work in the end remains to be seen but indeed during the two years I've been writing this the world has changed, both for the better and the worse. Wars, murder, politics, religious hysteria and mass hate has been balanced by an increase in enlightenment, acceptance of alternative therapies and widespread use of 'mindfulness' and the will for peace. In this time societies have stretched to the limits of depravity and saintliness and I presume will eventually break or twang back to an uncomfortable medium. Whilst it has been horrible to watch at times I have to admit that these extremes are necessary for a population to understand how far it can and should go, like a small child who tests at being good and bad to see it's parents reactions before settling into a balanced middle ground. The question there is, what are the parents like? Well, as I see it, Dad's a bit of a devil and Mum's an angel so I'm sure the kid will turn out alright in the end.Complete
The Milk Is White.
THE MILK IS WHITE Over two thousand years ago a Hindu sage said that, irrespective of the colour of the cow, the milk is white. He was alluding to the fact that there is but one spiritual Truth irrespective of which Master expounds it - and I quote: The Amrithabindu Upanishad: The milk of cows of any hue is white. The sages say that wisdom is the milk And the sacred scriptures are the cows. This book brings together the essence of the teachings of the major spiritual Masters and shows how the Truth embodied in these teachings can be applied in one's life to achieve peace and contentment. It is the result of one person's lifetime search for the meaning of life as we know it but, because of the universality of its content, it is recommended to anyone who seeks the spiritual Truth. The insights presented in Part Two of the book postdate the writing of The Milk Is White and qualify and/or expand upon its contents. This book answers questions such as: What am I? Who am I? Why am I here? What is the purpose of life? It is a combination of spirituality, psychiatry and psychology and will help solve all problems and challenges presented by life. It presents the path to true happiness and fulfilment. The more it is referred to, read and absorbed the more beneficial it will be. With reference to the full book: March 2011 from Allan of Paranormal Mind: A good friend of mine Derek Olson, is very impressed with your book, The Milk Is White: He said, "Wish I read this book 20 years ago, and saved my time and efforts with all the other literature."Complete
The book of life: Evolution of my self through incarnation 33
I am not a guy who likes to talk about his self, but the purpose of this biography is not to present my self to other people. There is a good possibility I am going to die around the age of 50 and therefor incarnate once more on the surface on Earth (living up to the age of ≈35). Thus, I am writing this primarily for my self in that person, so that person can recognize its self in this person and learn more about the past of its self. However, at least some information here might be of some value to others too.Complete
