This paper was submitted to the Journal of Consciousness Studies in the UK a few days ago. It represents decades of contemplation which began 30 years ago doing a period of personal crisis which lasted a decade.

“Necessity is the Mother of Invention” and there is nothing like a prolonged existential crisis to drive one’s purpose.

The ideas this thesis present with just 25 pages are original. At age 74, I want to share them with everyone, especially with communities of people who think deeply about philosophical topics. I did not want to die before those ideas had a chance to survive (and prosper?) after I am gone.

Since it is not yet published (who knows how long that will take?), I am making it available on NOSTR because (I hope) that this protected social media network finds thinkers like me who are respectful and open to new ways of understanding Creation, Reality & Mind.

If you want a pdf copy, just supply an email address and explain your interest in this topic.

This is my first NOSTR post. I hope to become more familiar with it as time passes. Feel free to share among your religious, philosophical, and scientific colleagues. I suspect that the ideas contained in the paper will stir some controversy and a lively discussion. Enjoy.
