MARVIN CLARK—A Love Story


Live and let live. To each his/her own. And yet… During the last few years, I noticed a disturbing metamorphosis. While I’d expect such from male members of the human species, better known as inveterate sex-maniacs, there is a growing number of women who once expected respect from men, who now write books with their front covers displaying naked, or mostly naked bodies. First,  there were just females who stripped for the camera. Later, men with washboard stomachs, or muscular deltoids, were also expected to strip at least down to the waist, and display what evidently became most attractive to the present day females.
That’s right. Not his face, or his character, or his talent, or friendship, or position in life, but stomach and back musculature.
Women, likewise, decided that unless they strip and display primary or at least secondary sexual characteristics, then no man would even look at them. Again, no intellect, or grace, of charm, or innate femininity, let alone innocence, but sexual characteristics. (Remember Audrey Hepburn?) Perhaps they concluded that unless they display them, openly, on the front cover on virtually every book they write, no one would even look at it, let alone buy it.
It appears that we inscribed a full circle. We began as purely physical animals, and now we returned to our original fascination. No mind, no brain, no imagination, but… sex. Pure or dirty, no matter, as long as it is unadulterated sex.
They, the male and female members of our species, who write those books, call themselves “authors” — the title that had once been reserved for progenitors of literature. No insult intended. After all, live and let live, and it is their choice. But in my life, women will remain women, not just females.
Anyway, it seems that the Jains were right some 7 centuries BC. Evolution does move in cycles. We start as spirit and descend into abysmal materiality, only to be reborn as spirit once again. We shall see. Or at least, some of us will.


Evidently, I’m old-fashioned. For me, both, men and women are much more than a pieces of meat designed to sate each others animalistic desires. Hence, my concept of romance is different. Below, an example.
Marvin Clark, a man as shy as he is retiring, assumes a cloak of invisibility to protect himself from vicissitudes of everyday life. The only escapes he enjoys are into the inner worlds of his own making. Then, a beautiful woman enters his drab reality. Suddenly, the protective ramparts Marvin erected so carefully begin to crumble. Will she set him free?

CATS & DOGS Energy of Life


Life is not a biological function.
Life is an indestructible energy that offers vitality and vigor, often verve, high spirits, exuberance, zest, and enthusiasm to be creative. Life energy is as omnipresent as Consciousness itself. It tends to enter and enliven anything and everyone who can foster, promote, and stimulate its inherent potential.
In addition, Life stimulates change. It introduces, enriches and maintains a progressive change for as long as the instruments through which it manifests itself can sustain it. When they can no longer do so, it withdraws from the phenomenal universe and awaits a suitable medium, to display once again its infinite variety of characteristics. We know its activity as evolution.

The presumption that men, that humans, are the only species that manifests divine life is absurd. While it is true that we can define life as the manifestation of the divine, to usurp and limit its manifestation to a semi-intelligent species is truly absurd. We, who hardly began to walk on our  hind legs, (presumably to better kill the opposing species with our hands), can hardly aspire to divinity. That is not to say that we do not bear the potential to rise above our present level. Indeed, the biological robot known as man has achieved a degree of artificial intelligence, though this degree is very questionable. Nevertheless, if we do not destroy ourselves with the technology which progressively takes over the need to use our neurons, we might rise above our present self-immolating level. History has not yet been written.
As for the intelligence of other species it brings us to Cats and Dogs. In my short stories, those two represent all species which we consider inferior, yet which are smart enough not to start armed conflicts, wars, let alone inventing an hydrogen bomb. Yes, in many way they are vastly superior to us.


If you like cats and dogs, and love, and sex, and suspense, and mystery, and murder (sorry about that)... and don't forget humor, you’ve come to the right place. 
Every single story has been dictated to me by my friends. They don’t always come out quite right, but, well, nothing is perfect in this world. (“After all,” they said in perfect unison, “we are cats and dogs”). And you can laugh on Amazon for 82¢. Now that’s funny already!

The Eternal Metamorphosis

The only reality is Consciousness. Everything else is illusion. Peter was among the Few who knew that. Paul struggled, but at the very end he realized that he’s not dying, but gaining awareness of eternal life. That’s well worth getting rid of the transient, imaginary, elusive physical body. Unfortunately his followers lost what he had gained.  
Of course, Peter and Paul, were both right. We all manifest individualizations of the amorphous energy of Life. Together, no, not just on Earth but within the Infinite Realities, we are One. You and I, and our cats and dogs, and all of animal kingdom. And the trees, and grass. And flowers. Yes, and the ‘aliens’ throughout the multiverse. Present and past. And the future ones.
We are all manifestations of the exogenous Energy of Life. Omnipresent Consciousness invades and uses whatever It’s creative impulse provides. Vibrating at different rates only to eventually, inevitably, return to be, once again, ONE.
Eternal.
Indestructible.
Omnipresent.
Nothing can be created, nothing destroyed, said Albert Einstein. Just metamorphosed. So say mystics, saviours, and advanced scientists.
There is no paradox between science and faith. There is between primitive ‘scientists’ and the sacerdotal fraternities, but not between science and faith. Most physicists agree that the world we perceive with our senses, our technology, and defined with our equations, consist exclusively of energy. This omnipresent energy vibrates at different rates, changing from one form to another. Yet this was still unknown in the days of Paul. Even after he metamorphosed from Saul to Paul. Not until the very end. And this brings us to PETER & PAUL, the intuitive sequel to YESHÛA.


Yeshûa (Jesus) is gone. Times of agony, lonesomeness, murder, treachery, and destruction follow. The inhuman struggle to spread the Word among people set in pagan ways calls for ultimate sacrifice. Yet love emerges victorious.
PETER & PAUL exemplify and the Few that are chosen, and the Many that are called. You alone can decide to which group you belong. Even so, there is the “3rd Party” who were neither called nor chosen. They are the masses already equipped with the brains, yet still struggling to become human. It is not easy. There is nobles oblige. You must choose to be chosen.

KEY TO IMMORTALITY


The Gospel of Thomas states: “Whosoever finds the explanation of these words shall not taste death.” We are endowed with the gene of immortality. Our genome can endure thousands, perhaps millions of years. But what of our consciousness? Thomas offers us the Key to Immortality.

For some reason, as we age, as we become more mentally decrepit, we seem to hold on to our dilapidating bodies with the tenancy of a starving hyena. We can no longer do and enjoy activities which were ours to do for many years, yet… yet we are scared of the unknown.
Scared to death? Lol!
Strangely, there are only two possibilities. Either, when we ‘die’, there would be nothing to follow, or else, we’d bear the consequences of the years we’ve spent in our magnificent biological creations, probably abusing the greatest gift that nature had to offer. 
In either case,  our behaviour attests to our cowardice. If there’s nothing after ‘death’, then there is nothing to fear; or there is something, and if so, we and we alone have created conditions (or realities) in which we’d find ourselves.

Speaking for myself, I am looking forward to leaving my physical enclosure with curiosity which is heightened by my lucid dreams. They affirm my vision of heaven.
If you prefer the second alternative, read on.

According to Thomas you are immortal. And don’t ever forget: you are creating your own heaven. “As you sow, so shall you reap.” You’re  creating your future. You always did. And for ever you shall. Of course, if you’ve produced nothing worthwhile in this embodiment, then there is nothing to save. Yet even then you will not be wasted. Your body, thoughts, emotions, even consciousness will be recycled, perhaps regressed to a reality where nature imposes stricter rules on its visitors. If not, then believe me, heaven is worth while visiting. It is, well… heaven!
There are but two things to remember.
Your body consisting of some 100 trillion bacterial cells is not immortal, only you are. The real you. The sublime, incomprehensible, magnificent Individualized State of Consciousness.
The I AM.
Aren’t we lucky? Enjoy!
Within a Black Hole, all energy is converted, again, to potential energy. On the other hand, Heavens created by us enjoy an infinite number of vibratory rates, all the way to infinite vibration which thus becomes omnipresent. Hence there is not one heaven but as many as individualized states of consciousness (that us and others like us) are able to create. It is a long, long journey. In fact, it never ends!
