In my first book, Wuh Lax and the Cosmic Lantern, my intent was to address a book on the processes of thinking and learning that was appropriate for younger thinkers. At the same time, I was intent on giving them survival techniques were they to understand what the book was all about. The Wuh Lax series is about thinking and surviving in a world that is much stranger than nature alone would have us think. As I mentioned in an earlier blog, if nature would have its way, we would die prematurely and just as certainly as the demise of the Roman Empire, which is the focus of the Wuh Lax series.
What the books about Wuh tell you is that while nature may have designs on your premature death should you not learn how to think, nature itself will die prematurely if the human species does not intervene within its own death process. The book is thus about the survival of the earth and its characters are thrown into the deep end of steering a course of survival for future generations as nature throws its worse at them.
In a very real sense, it is a true story while being an expression of my own psychological fantasy. It is based on an amazing amount of reading into psychology from the age of seven, in Kincardine, Ontario. I feel I know Jung, Freud and Adler like old friends. It is our psychological evolution that will give earth a chance of survival, but only a chance. As a betting person, one would be advised to place a bet for mankind's premature death as nature, the way we know it, itself dies prematurely. It would seem that nature is committing suicide and we are to die along with it.
On a more positive note, what has amazed me is the profound interest in MJ Harper's book, The History of Britain Revealed. Whether this has led to book sales for him is any one's guess, but there is a definite awareness that most English speakers have not really taken the time to think very deeply about the origins of the English language, or the culture. I love Harper's book because it demonstrates what is necessary in order to survive in this world of mass deception.
We British mostly think that the origins of our amazing language have come within two thousand or more years. Along with MJ Harper, I must say that this is utter hogwash, despite readers saying they would pray for Harper's soul. I mean, one has only to examine some of the mathematical feats, pathways, religious centers, stone or metal work created in the periods up to thousands of years before the Romans castrated Europe.
Climate change seems to have brought down the Roman Empire, but I would guess that it was economics that really put the screw in and tightened down the box, much the same as can happen to any community that has not really learned how to think. So this is why I come back to the period before Rome killed off early Britain, killed off societies in which thought was in advance of action despite what some of our illustrious historians would have us think, those that see history as continuous blood and gore. The early Britons survived Rome, but only just, and their story needs to be told. The anglo-saxons are only a very small part of the real story of Brtain that will unfold in years ahead as the archaeologists do their work.
No! Much of early British history was about love and cooperation, about community and sharing, about enjoying nature while at the same time controlling the death process inside human nature, the disease that killed the Romans and paved the way for misery, again despite what those wonderful historians are likely to tell us. Those historians that need to devote more time to thinking along the lines that MJ Harper has achieved. Well done Harper!
