Another dollop of false consciousness

You may recall – or didn’t need me to tell you in the first place – that when people, mistakenly, believe something to be true when it isn’t and the evidence suggests it isn’t, they are suffering under an illusion we call ‘false consciousness’. Once it is ingrained it is hard to shift. Like creationism.… Know More

Last Stop

O it was a moonless night suddenly filled with dark foreboding. The invisible birds had begun their metallic piping, the bats were squeaking among our ripe mangos and a thousand supplicants in a distant evangelical hangar were laying down a keening back beat. Then, like a solo singer to this orchestra of sound, there was… Know More

You are who you write

I wrote a short story recently – which will appear for free on www.chronometerpublications.mewithin a week or so. It-s called The Sense of Being Sinbad and deals with the last three months of a man’s life. I sent it to a friend who is wrestling with the best exit strategy for one who feels everything… Know More

Some Reviews of the Azimuth Trilogy

Reading great book. It is either for learning and information, or for pleasure and escape. Azimuth combines both of these. I was fascinated and transported but also what I learned about meditation and spirituality in this epic has helped me on my own path. It is a must read and must own Andrew, Lord Stone… Know More

“The Devil you say…!”

We human beings are a credulous lot. We will turn a bush at night, into a lurking monster, the creak of a floorboard into a ghost and some coincidental meeting or act into evidence of Fate. We have invented the history of God, a fairly full life for Christ and sit and shiver in fear… Know More

Janus, the writer

I thought I’d offer you a debate to be held after Christmas with your arty friends. It is one that can get very passionate, and it is as old as paintings on cave walls. Can you be totally captivated, informed and elevated by the work of an artist who, you discover, is an appalling human… Know More

Leveson and the UK

It is in every author’s interest to contest any attempt by the State to introduce legislation regarding what can or cannot be the subject of media interest. Freedom of the press (TV, art and literature generally) is the cornerstone of a critical society that keeps its politicians in check. Democracy implies ‘the voice of the… Know More

Rock of Ages

I watched successive television news coverage of the Rolling Stones at the O2 arena the other night and was struck by the ageist tenor of much of it, particularly on Sky. Plucking the main threads from their verbiage I was left with they are very old and they are charging a lot of money. Indeed… Know More
