FOREWORD

We need a 'global system of secular ethics'

Dalai Lama

––––––––

Buddhists never recognized Buddhism as a religion. Buddhism, they say, is a way of life, not a set of rules to be followed when convenient, and ignored when less so. Dalai Lama advocated the development of, what he called:

Global system of Secular Ethics.

To do so, it seems to me, we must begin at the beginning, drawing on all knowledge, all wisdom, all ethics of the past, and supplement them with what we have learned since.

This may require a marriage of science and religion, reinstating all that religions have a priori eliminated.

My own observations lead me to believe that a state or condition of equilibrium is a prerequisite, a sine qua non, for arriving at a set of ethics that would act as a base from which we’d venture out to conquer new ideas, concepts, and adapt them to phenomenal, no matter how brief, existence. The better the implementation of an idea, the longer would be its shelf-life. The longer it would be sustained before the inevitable seasons would bring about further advancements, leading to still greater durability.

Life is change.

Those who are of pure consciousness, enjoy both, the potential and its manifestation — ultimately, a perfect blend of Being & Becoming. In the meantime, we can all enjoy the ‘divine’ act of creation. We must proceed along the Straight and Narrow, without losing our sense of balance. Without  straying too far from the Event Horizon.

If we do, we might fall into the Black Hole, or drift outwards into the endless stasis of Absolute Zero.

The phenomenal reality is our school.

Our training ground.

The world is the creator’s oyster.

Perhaps we shall meet along the way. It’s a large Universe. On the other hand, we are all immortal and all are inseparable individualizations of a single Source. Individualizations of a single, omnipresent, eternal, indestructible, amorphous, creative energy.

So are rocks, grains of sand, and every blade of grass.  In one form or another, there is but a SINGLE source of all phenomenal realities.

In potential and in manifestation.

See you...

And please, never forget that we are all ONE.

PS. In this collection I allowed myself to recommend a few books. The subject matters were just too complex to be tackled in a 500-word blog. After all, the blogs help to explain the philosophy underpinning my novels. Likewise, my Beyond Religion Series essentially qualify as blogs, or slightly longer essays.

Nevertheless, unless you want to go much deeper into the subjects raised in my blogs, please, don’t feel compelled to read any of my novels. They are there for your pleasure, not edification. They also illustrate how the philosophy stated in my blogs might apply to ‘real’ life. At least in novels. In fiction—ever remembering that truth is often stranger than fiction. Enjoy!

Chrysalis of Godhood

Masters and Minions

––––––––

The advocates of natural selection of physical or biological evolution suffer from one fundamental error. While studying the past, they are clearly unaware of the Present. Yet, as is obvious upon reflection, only the Present creates the past. Hence by studying the Present, its consequences are automatically revealed. It is well expressed by Kate Jones, who kindly proofread my novel ELOHIM.

Man's search for fulfillment and completeness has never had a better articulator and advocate than Stan I. S. Law in 'Elohim'. We witness the chrysalis of godhood growing to dimensions not yet dreamed of. Fascinating characters drawn with an artist's eye of discernment will leave an indelible echo of recognition, and unquenchable hope, in the mind of the perceptive reader.

(Thank you, Kate)

If we direct our attention at or on the Present, we inevitably become aware of the elusiveness of the phenomenal Universe. The moment we observe any aspect of it, it changes. It is there no more. It is like a piece of music that caresses our ears, and almost immediately merges with the vibrations of the Universe to find immortality only in our memories.

Had we but the courage to realize it, this is true of all other aspects of the phenomenal reality. All things physical, detectible to our senses, are transient, ephemeral, illusory, unreal. Eventually only memories remain, stored in our Subconscious, of which the First Heaven is built.

And yet...

And yet it is only by advancing an idea through mental and emotional rates of vibrations that we can judge if the product of our creativity is worth preserving to enjoy throughout our immortality. And this is what the heroes of my book, Elohim, the men and women who discovered the creative godhood within their awareness, are concern with. The others, the Minions come for a ride, awaiting their turn. But the Masters must live up to their calling.

And let us never forget that there is only one way to be a Master, and that is to act like one.

I hope that reading the Winston Trilogy will inspire you to discover your own potential. Your own Chrysalis of Godhood is waiting, dormant, within you. Within every single one of us. The Creative Potential will not be denied. It is immortal, omnipresent and omnipotent. We are Its instruments. All we need do is to realize it and then cooperate with It as best we can.

This is what real evolution is all about. Not how to improve our technology but how to improve ourselves. How to polish and temper our mental and emotional abilities; to attune ourselves with the Music of the Spheres. When we reach perfect synchronization, perfect harmony with the Universe, we become Sons and Daughters of Gods. We become Elohim, Masters of the Universe.

Welcome to Paradise.

DEVOLUTION

Of Gods and Men

––––––––

There is a great misconception about our immortality. Religions mention immortal souls without defining what soul is.  

Let us get one thing straight. There is NO TIME in hell, or heaven, or any other destinations made up by the sacerdotal fraternity. The spirit or Individualized Consciousness has Its being ONLY in the PRESENT.

What happens is that the means through which the Individualized Consciousness finds Its expression in temporal reality, i.e. in that which we call ‘life’, are repeated virtually ad infinitum. Time after time I AM reincarnates Itself to sate Its creative nature through the mental and emotional ‘bodies’ it creates. It is these bodies that are very, very hard to ‘repair’. Hence the illusion of eternity.

As individualized units of Consciousness are inseparable from the Single Universal Consciousness, (the Amorphous Energy people like to call God), it is a little hard to imagine that God would send inseparable parts of Itself to eternal Gehenna, or Hell by any other name. This would be unadulterated masochism.

For all who enjoy the subject of hell, I recommend my Essay #20 in BEYOND RELIGION III, Eternal Damnation. You might enjoy it.

When the Individualized Consciousness (I AM) decides to enter another creative cycle, It picks up the mental and emotional bodies previously created. It endeavours to improve those creative means to convert the perfect idea into a manifestation, into a transient phenomenal reality. What matters, therefore, is not the end product as such, but the PROCESS itself.

We call this process LIFE.

There is ample evidence that nature, both flora and fauna, are eternally renewing itself, hopefully advancing towards perfection. We, humans, also procreate, and when we pollute our planet beyond repair, the planet is also re-circulated, even as are cells in our physical bodies.

Thus, there is no need to worry. If we don’t mind having 75 trillion cells in our bodies replaced every few years, then we should expect our plant to be renewed every now and then. After all, it’s for our own good. However, as with everything else in this illusory reality, there are the Many and the Few. When our planet undergoes renewal, most of us will take time off. We call it ‘dying’. Hopefully creative force latent in nature will evolve new biological (or other) robots to house our Consciousness. The Few that survive will serve the new species to find their way around the new Eden, until phenomenal reality takes over again, and sends us, again, along the downward spiral. And again. And again...

Hence—Devolution.

Again we shall begin in Eden, and end up in a world where a homicidal maniac might press a red button to initiate atomic holocaust. Or nature herself will take steps to end the dismal cycle of Devolution. There are ways...

––––––––

Below an example just how renewal might happen. Take a deep breath and remember—the real you is immortal. And also remember that the real you is NOT your ego. Perhaps you should start at the beginning?

The Nature of Reality

An Inquiry into the Nature of Being

––––––––

No! Not human species. Any species. We all began as an idea. Next: mind evolved. Then imagination joined forces. And, lo and behold, here we are.

You and I, and...  all the species. The amorphous  energy slowing down.

Recently I converted 152 essays I’d written some years ago into paperback editions. To my surprise I noticed that a number of subjects, so-called ‘mysteries’ I’d ‘unveiled’ there, I am once more dissecting in some of my blogs. This in itself does no harm as my essays delve deeper into the subjects, and there is little chance that the same reader would venture upon both, my Essays and my Blogs. If so, however, they might learn a gentle improvement in my own understanding of the same Truth, let alone an improved ability to be concise.

But this is not the matter that surprised me.

What literally amazed me was that I continually stumble across the same Truth that is imbedded deep within my psyche. I strongly suspect that people who indulge in daily contemplation share the same experience. To abide in the Present, Truth must be continuously rediscovered.

Truth is One, but It can be examined from infinite number of points of view. It is buried deep within us all, waiting to be discovered. Hence my thesis that everything already exists in potential form, and that our eternal task is to bring it out into the open, to make it pragmatic, or perhaps to share it with others. Each one of us has something unique to contribute to this journey of discovery. I can but hope that you’ll walk with me part of the way.

As you read my Essays you might sense moments of eureka, moments of discovery, when if fact they were simply moments of recognition that the concepts you read have always been yours, have always hovered on the very edge of your perception, waiting for a propitious moment, or the right push, to come to the forefront of your awareness.

This only means that Truth has always been yours. That it was always within you, but which devolution we all experience since we’ve left Eden and became exposed to exigencies of everyday life, has pushed into deeper recesses of our awareness. There It lingers, silently, waiting for the opportune moment to come to the fore.

I can also but hope that my
