Me: They’ll be published on Apple Books, then Google Books, via EPUB format.   I’ll be writing, performing and recording the music to my lyrics. The next series is called: Peace In Action Volume 1 ~ Within Mind Volume 2 ~ A Balanced Society Volume 3 ~ Human Confluence Volume 4 ~ Collaborative Law Volume 5 ~ Instrumental Wealth Volume 6 ~ Politics Renewed Volume 7 ~ Genetic Rebirth Volume 8 ~ Nurturing Plants Volume 9 ~ Animal Paradigms Volume 10 ~ Earth To Ground Listed above, each book provides a more in-depth look at their respective chapters in Facets On Society, while positing practical applications of new thought in each field of endeavour.

Me: Quantum entanglement is the mathematical representation of thought (metaphysical) housed in the body (physical). Moreover, thought (psyche) is not a singular entity, but creates human fusion with feeling (pneuma). Here we are infinite. This should give us pause, as we ponder the exponential powers of thought in the form of neural networks, conducted by the electromagnetic properties of the human brain. We can also use the law of quantum entanglement to explain the effect of metaphysical trauma on our brain functions—the result of telling others to think, say and do, exactly like we do—or else… When thoughts about Self and others, are relegated by shame and blame, put-downs are its first manifestation. Each instance in childhood sets up a process of brazing our neural networks into loops of certainty (brainwashing). This is the line of demarcation between survival and living. The uncertainty...

Me: To call attention to this gross misrepresentation of fact, so parents, teachers, social workers and psychologists develop dialogue with the children/youth/adults in their care, to dissipate any notion this has, could, or is possible. Ian: What is your opinion of the LGBTQ+ movement? Me: I’m on a journey toward figuring out who, what, when, where and how I am—just beginning to scratch the surface of why. As I continue, the only opinion viable to me, is the one I have of myself. So, as I gain knowledge of my strengths and weaknesses, judgment of others fades away. Mind you, this is a daily battle, one where I’m determined to remove each thought bias as it’s induced into my consciousness. Hate is hate when forced to choose a side. Moreover, I think the core of the LGBTQ+ movement is to speak out for change in the modern social norm ...

This reinvigorates Self to new approaches in purpose. Ian: Is it fair to say this is a book on sociology? Me: Yes and No. It begins by defining the individual as a thinking and feeling being. Hence it’s philosophical. It proceeds to identify interference from others as a disruption to our being. Hence it’s sociological. Acknowledging the consequences of truth involved in reconstruction changes behaviour. Hence it’s psychological. The books use photographs throughout to emphasise feeling and understanding. Hence its artistic. Its interviews answer questions in the first person. Hence its autobiographical. It calls upon philosophers and scientists to rethink their basic premises of life on Earth. To look at plants, animals, Self and others differently. Hence its academic.

I wrote these books as a dialogue between me and each reader; yet, not in real time or person but, through time and every person. Ian: Please explain. Me: Art speaks to us beyond thought. The words I’ve written are carefully constructed to leave any conclusions drawn, or changes that may occur, up to each reader. Hence art is experienced. Ian: What about the conclusions you’ve drawn and requested others to research? Me: Facets On Society was written to put these conclusions within reach of those whom society has deemed responsible for new thought and problem solving. Still, it’s up to them to do, or not to do.

Ian: How would this happen? Me: I believe we own our reality. If, we believe in life, we’ll live. This is the marvel of being human and worthy of our greatest quest. Ian: Could it be this simple? Me: I don't know. But, I can't think of a better way to start. Ian: What if you die? Me: It’ll be because others believe death overrules life.

(Photo by Simon Berger) Figure 63.   Stagnant Ian: Are you anti-religious? Me: No. However, my experience of and research into all religions proves to me they're static. If, Earth stopped spinning on its annual trajectory around the Sun, life would cease to exist. Anti-gravitational forces would disconnect us from its source—inert bodies of matter floating in space. That said, we need a belief system to guide the parameters of our thinking; thus, behaviour. Until recently, religion filled this void individually, but on a social scale it's wreaking havoc globally. I believe what we’re seeing are the consequences of qualifying Spirit in terms of thinking, while ignoring the essence of life which is instinctual. Ian: Do you consider yourself irreligious? Me: No. I’m human. To identify oneself as opposite something else is a thinking problem. We are so much more than our thoughts. The one thing all people have in common is that we're human.

(Photo by Graeme Travers) Figure 53.   Ally Ian: What about the concept of entropy? Me: As the source of energy the universe cannot be created or destroyed. Here we prove the universe is not a closed system; hence, entropy does not apply. Ian: What is universal law? Me: Universal law is what connects us to one another and nature. It’s what remains true in our feeling, regardless of what we think, say or do. We know universal law is true because it leaves room for uncertainty. Here we recognise destiny, not as a fixed point or purpose, but the experience of learning to embrace the unknown.
