I invite you to have a look at this latest metaphysical offering.
It challenges core beliefs, elucidates the nature of illusion and
inspires people to question their deepest assumptions about existence
and themselves. It Bridges the gap between science and spirituality.

The discussion uses systems theory to go deep into the questions:
What am I?
What is the world?
What is happening?
What can be done?
It also addresses the issue of how does a vast complex system such as
a human life or a civilisation undergo a transition from a state of
delusion and obstruction to a state of awareness and abundance.
It may seem abstract at times but the roots of ignorance go deep into
abstract territory, subtly warping the familiar world of experience.
When experience is in conflict with reality we must challenge our
delusions and enter into the abstract (metaphysical) foundations of
our confusion.
It covers many many things. It delves to the core of certain
fundamental issues and clarifies deep seated misunderstandings, then
it explores the ramifications of this as the whole structure of
knowledge readjusts.
Some quotes from the preface...
"It contains some mind-blowing ideas (literally). As they flow through
my mind and out my fingers they are blowing my old paradigm into tiny
pieces - dissolving everything and re-casting it into a new paradigm
or vision of reality. So beware if you are attached to your familiar
world-view - you will find this discussion threatening. Read this only
if you are willing to question fundamental beliefs and assumptions,
and you seek a deep rational knowledge of your self, of the world, of
the nature of the phenomena and events in the world and how to
holistically, harmonious and effectively participate in reality. This
is the red pill, take it and I will show you "how deep the rabbit hole
goes". Or simply turn away; "take the blue pill and the story ends...
you believe whatever you want to believe."(The Matrix). The decision
is: "Do you live on in ignorance (and potentially bliss) [but for how
long?] or do you lead what Aristotle called 'the examined life'..."
"This discussion touches upon extremely controversial and off limits
subjects - subjects about which there is extreme misrepresentation and
misunderstanding, subjects about which most people have hard and fast
beliefs and prejudices and they never dare look into and question
them... these ideas challenge certain core beliefs that most people
have not seriously questioned."
"if you read through the discussion you will be able to identify the
assumptions, overcome the pre-conceived ideas and be able to
contemplate the topic from a new perspective that will make it much
clearer."
"The subject itself is the essence of simplicity but because of the
complexity of our ideas I must provide a very complex analysis to make
it connect with our world of ideas. So it may start off a bit too
technical for some and it may get a bit too metaphysical or abstract
for others. It is primarily meant for people who are attached to the
world of ideas but who are open to exploring its foundations and
seeing 'beneath' the world of ideas. It is particularly aimed at open
minded, rational, and skeptical, scientists, philosophers,
intellectuals and theologians but also for open minded, rational,
skeptical and enquiring people of all kinds. It covers such a vast
territory so much of it may be unfamiliar or may seem familiar on the
surface but be totally different to what you would expect. This
discussion describes a paradigm ****ft"
"Through questioning and deconstructing fundamental assumptions and
confusions then exploring the ramifications of this I seek to motivate
people to clarify and overcome these distortions in themselves and the
wider culture so that we can all better comprehend and participate in
reality. I do not propose any new ideology, grand theory or belief
system, just a 'device' that can assist in clarifying awareness. After
that, awareness and reality do the rest."
Check it out if you dare ;)
