On LIFE and WATER — In Search of Secular Ethics

We all walk in Vicious Circles. The saying that we are all born equal is total nonsense. We certainly are endowed with equal potential, after all, we are individualizations of “One God”, or a single Amorphous, Infinite, Energy, possessed of Infinite Creative Potential.

But that’s the limit of our equality.

Otherwise, it would be like saying that all racers have the same car, therefore they are equal drivers. Not so. The race began far, far in the distant past. Yes, billions and billions of years ago. In fact, the Energy which gives us the awareness of Life, of Self, is eternal. It has neither beginning nor end. But what It can do is to metamorphose Itself into endless diverse forms of expression.

Endless. Infinite in number.

And not all equal.

In fact, as different as possible.

Diversity is the sole purpose of life. You and I are unique individualizations. Every one of us. Life expresses itself in every bird, every fish in the sea. Every mammal, including human.

There is only one Energy of Life, expressed in endless variety. In both: flora and fauna. There is divinity in every flower, in every blade of grass. In every butterfly that alights on a lowly petal of a common weed.

There is only one Life. And Its Potential is inherent in all that lives.

And then there is WATER.

This great equalizer serves to illustrate how the Universal Laws work. First, they always tend to restore equality. It flows to the lowest level. It is just as comfortable as a liquid, as ice, or as steam. Sometimes it is even more rarified by becoming merely humidity. 

Divinity is like water.

It always finds its lowest level.

And divinity is within you, hence, also
INFINITE POTENTIAL

Water is also of major importance to all living things; in some organisms, up to 90% of their body weight comes from water. Up to 60% of the human adult body is water. According to H.H. Mitchell, (Journal of Biological Chemistry #158, Dec. 2, 2016), our brain and heart are composed of 73% water, and the lungs are about 83% water.

And talking of brain, it brings us to my Collections of VICIOUS CIRCLES.

You have my wife to blame for them. She suggested that I jot down the whispers I hear in my daily contemplations on paper, or on today’s “paper” better known as the laptop. I cannot really take credit for them, as they came to me from the unknown, we refer to as the unconscious. Some of them became novels, some poems, other non-fiction attempts to define the reality in which we live.

So you can accept that you are just a bag of water with a few chemicals suspended in it. Or you can accept that your physical body is no more than a temporary abode which you can use to fulfill your dharma.

You be the judge.

And then, please, share your thoughts in a (brief?) review; to assure me that I am not just talking to myself.

SCI-FI Series 1 & 2

Remaining with science-fiction, these are Short Stories. Four in Series 1, and three in 2. If after you read them you feel hunger for more, don’t worry. You have 2 full-length sci-fi novels to sate your hunger:

GIFT OF GAMMAN

and/or

ENIGMA—Of Second Coming

And if you are still hungry, there are 4 e-box-sets filled with fantasy and a dose of science attached. Look at http://stanlaw.ca 

But let’s start with the short stories:

If you suddenly feel an enormous weight pressing down on you, it’s probably too late. Your Umph is already inside an alien’s body. This should not scare you… That’s how it starts…

“Absolutely brilliant! … a real classic, which leaves the reader wondering if we do really live on Planet Earth!” (Louisa Middleton-Blake, author, UK).

"Thirsty Work is absolutely hilarious! A weird and twisty tale the likes I have not seen in many a year. Reminds me of Ray Bradbury's early work before he got all dark and serious... I will be looking at more of your writing, sir!" (Thaddeus Howze, author)

The other stories are about the love of life and the planet Earth. 

In the far distant future as in our distant past, human emotions continue to place the same demands on the human heart as they do at the present time. The same is also true of the species inhabiting the distant planets, which we, humans, are destined to reach one day, for whatever reason. These are but a few examples of what we might expect:

“The Simulator took me where no woman has been before—I could really identify with Astrid (what a beautiful name!). Little Angels were more amazing than I could ever imagine. And Esperanza made me shed a tear, both of sadness and, perhaps, of joy. I hope there's more in the series.” (H.K. Loda, 5 Stars on Smashwords)

The stories also collected some 5-STAR blurbs:

Excellent!

ENIGMA—Of the Second Coming

Just imagine how smart we would be if we were to live for a few thousand years. (Well, some of us, lol). Not in the same, aging, dilapidating physical body, of course. Each new body we design, then supervise its construction is, hopefully, a more advanced model evolving to better serve the purpose for which we created it.

Don’t forget:

The Creator (within us) is immortal.

Each time we occupy a new biological model, endowed with artificial intelligence, we are a minute step closer to the time when we and our model will act as ONE. Ultimately I AM and the model through which It functions will act purely for the benefit of the Creative Source within us, the Source which is the essence of our life.

Others, less advanced embodiments, will take over our present functions, probably that of venturing into the unknown.

Some of us imagine that, one day, the smartest amongst us will come back to show us the error of our ways. In Christianity, this is known as the Second Coming. One can but wish that such an event would apply not only to the Christ, abut also to Buddha, Krishna, Zoroaster, as well as Lao Tsu, Socrates, Plato, not to mention Mozart, Beethoven, and a dozen or so of other great composers, artists, as well as philosophers and mystics.

Wouldn’t that be nice?

On the other hand, wouldn’t that just repeat previous achievements of humanity? Aren’t we intended to cross new grounds, reach beyond the old horizons, old perceived limitations? After all, the Creative Potential within us is infinite, hence, shouldn’t we reach out towards the unknown?

Surely, the Second Coming takes place within us.

Within our Consciousness.

Unfortunately we make mistakes.

Many mistakes.

When those endanger the functioning of life on our plant, the Universal Laws step in to eliminate the cause, and, possibly, to find a better model to continue venturing into new realities.

The only other option is to hope that the great Souls that trod this ball of dirt before us might find a way to give us a helping hand in other ways. This is where ENIGMA steps in. Whether ‘they’ do so physically, or by influencing our thoughts, remains to be seen. Perhaps they’ll find even more creative ways.

ENIGMA—Of the Second Coming tackles the problem of saving humanity from ourselves. It seems that we reached the stage of having too much power, not enough love. The novel might also explain the mystery of PLUTO, which most astronomers no longer recognize as a planet. So… what might it be?

Below, what others thought of my novel:

Amazing!

DICTIONARY of BIBLICAL SYMBOLISM

Priesthood of yesteryear, of the distant past, were the only scientists of their day. Their education, such as it was, enabled them to attempt to understand the reality in which they lived. When they discovered the creative power that hibernates within us, their findings had been turned into a religion. This delusion persists to this day. And this in spite of great mystics who attempted to set us right.

The day I realized the above, I walked to the library of Religious Studies at McGill University, in Montreal. Eight months, and some 40 mega-volumes later, I put together my DICTIONARY OF BIBLICAL SYMBOLISM. I realized that various scriptures had nothing to do with any religion, but were compilations of knowledge of the day, expressed without modern nomenclature to describe the observations of priests/scientists. My DICTIONARY illustrates how much the meaning of various words had changed or evolved since the scribes put their superiors’ wisdom on parchment. If you want to know what the great minds of the past meant by the scriptures, you’ll find my DICTIONARY an indispensable tool. The real meaning will surprise you, and free you from the delusion fed to us by the present day priesthood.

Well, only now the scientists of the present day are beginning to catch up with the knowledge of the past. Mind over matter is slowly, very slowly, coming into its own.

Good luck to all who are beginning to awake to the power that wells within them. Ye are gods, indeed!

For thousands of years we, the human species, have lived, and apparently, continue to live under the carrot and stick philosophy. A philosophy that applies, at best, to children, and even then it is of dubious value. Isn’t it time we grew up and started living as adults and accepted that every cause has a predictable effect?

The ancient’s called it Karma. Isaac Newton calls it Principia, or the laws of motion. Motion is the essential constituent of life.

We can be sure of one thing. The Earth, the reality, in which we find our being is a direct result of us, of people living on this planet. We cannot blame God, or Satan any imaginary super-being for our lot. We created this Earth, we are its keeper, and we shall bear the consequences of the condition in which we live.

To repeat, we really are gods, and we have no one to blame.

As Buddha would say, WAKE UP!

So if you really want to free yourself from people who want to control your mind, from the blind who for countless generations have been leading the blind, get my DICTIONARY and decide for yourself. Below a few blurbs what others found out:

A must-have!

So intriguing!

Great Resource!

Huge Eye Opener

An Invaluable Resource

Discover the untold story

Brilliant for seeing deeper

Unparalleled in terms of its usefulness

Perfect Companion for Spiritual Enlightenment!

And many more…
