Why “Butterfly”? The ancient Greek word for
the soul was Psyche. The same word was used for the butterfly. When one
considers the seeking, searching nature of its flight in search of “riches”
our Psyches are not unlike it. We
too are searching, and we also are seekers. It is a fitting symbol for the
seeking human soul in search of truth and therefore a suitable symbol for
this website. |

There are two
reasons for writing these monographs. The first is that my religious beliefs
failed to bear the intellectual weight that I wanted to place on them and I
needed to write them down as part of a process that would help me crystallize
my new position. The Second is that
my experience may be helpful to others who are in the process of making a
similar journey. They is the product of personal journey in which, with great reluctance, I came to the conclusion that that the great religions of the world, including Christianity, had hijacked virtue and that the practice of Religion and Virtue are not necessarily the same thing; particularly, when the former strained credulity. I found myself
seeking a new life stance which lead to the writing of the last monograph
entitled ”On the Human Experience”, in the hope that it would provide both my
self and others with: - ·
A sense of
Man’s Biological and Moral Role the evolutionary stream of time. ·
An Evolutionary
understanding of Good, Evil and Suffering. ·
A sense
that, within moral boundaries, there is something to be said for enjoying
life as much as possible. And finally, in
the face of political corruption and corporate avarice of our times, to
provide hope of a better world. Please e-mail me at: |
