Book Description
In Part Three of "The Sublime Mind" we reach its conclusion, and we end the search for Absolute Truth; all in Volume 6 Books 16 -18. The Sublime Mind is a comic philosophical search to understand the perceptual developments of today throughout the world. This includes boundaries reached, and broken, in the fields of art, and of science. With the characters of Georgian Merchant, Professor Philosopher Mike, Heldis Jones, young lovers and their children, and many others, we engage in the mystery quest for the Absolute Truth. History, the future, the cultures and civilisations from across the globe, all come in to play, and have something to contribute to the new ways of complementary living. Perceptions are radicalised in the creating of love, and in the relating of different peoples to each other. The answers may not all be found, but the questions are posited, and the hopes are expressed universally. Now Volume 7 is added exploring the curse, the trial of no return and the execution.

Book Description
Harvard psychologist and philosopher William James' The Varieties of Religious Experience: A Study in Human Nature explores the nature of religion and, in James' observation, its divorce from science when studied academically. After publication in 1902 it quickly became a canonical text of philosophy and psychology, remaining in print through the entire century. "Scientific theories are organically conditioned just as much as religious emotions are; and if we only knew the facts intimately enough, we should doubtless see 'the liver' determining the dicta of the sturdy atheist as decisively as it does those of the Methodist under conviction anxious about his soul. When it alters in one way the blood that percolates it, we get the Methodist, when in another way, we get the atheist form of mind."
