About this ebook
A preface notes that William Blake was far from the saint his admirers claim. We suggest that the reader follow the original work to see how the genesis of this parody came about. We flip the world turned upside down by Blake, right side up. His vision is mere pagan filth, churned up from of old. The parody conforms to truth and biblical doctrine. Blake can be difficult to follow for those not initiated to his sources. Carl Jung and the fourfold nature of the human psyche is worth noting. Read the vision of the throne of God in Ezekiel. Note the division of the horoscope into earth, water, air and fire, the four humors of ancient medicine. He plays off of these. The works of Paracelsus are apt. In carnal knowledge, Blake places carnal desire over knowledge. He deems the pursuit of pleasure as the road to wisdom rather than the road of health and truth. His proponents will deny this, but it is the truth. He was a shady character, an agent saboteur advancing the interests of Britannia as surely as the Royal Navy did in the military realm. He was an enemy of God and man, the prophet of the Age of Aquarius, that astrological swill we are suffering under and recovering from. His New Age crap is Fallen Age crap splattered about.

I write for my health and the health of the world. Often the cure rivals the disease in grief and aches. My writing career started at twelve when I attempted to write a sequel to Huckleberry Finn but never finished it. My writings have included poetry, plays, a novel, non-fiction and writing newsletters for here and there. Recently, I am dabbling into short stories. Apart from newsletters, nothing has been published in print. I bought an audio recording of one of my poems but threw it away in disgust due to an inappropriate reading by the narrator. 'Contra Pantheism...' was my first eBook. About a hundred eBooks have been published since including some books of verse, and my essays collected into five volumes, and one volume of collected poems. A few other types of literature are on my list of published works. My essays deal with fundamental questions of philosophy as well as natural philosophy (science.) On the whole, my works are as far above the writings of Plato and Aristotle as the material power of the United States is over that of Ancient Greece. I once asked myself if I had ever written anything memorable, but couldn't remember exactly what I had written. I started to check my manuscripts but stopped as it seemed the answer to the question was obvious. Gore Vidal mentioned in one of his memoirs that writers tend to forget what they write and are a bad source to ask about their works. Gore knew a lot of writers. I have not and may have been a bit hard on myself. Apart from self-improvement and maybe making a few bucks, my main goal is to bring about a golden age for mankind. Being a man, this sounds appealing. It is pointless to desist and all small measures are worth the effort. Albert Camus thought suicide the only serious philosophical question. He was a fool and died young. Suicide is a waste of time. The most important functional question is: How do I get what I want? The one question that trumps this is the ultimate question of intent: What should I want? As Goethe pointed out: Be careful what you wish for in your youth, you might get it in middle age.
