Foreword

The content of my book has been separated into three seemingly disparate issues which in truth, are all quite intimately related to form this collection.

The first section is a compilation of associated essays, written at different times over the years. It begins in the hope that light, might reach those dark forbidden recesses of the human mind and open doors long locked and bolted.

 The second section is a modern day reality journey of my personal experiences into the prophetic dream, it is a phenomenon that reconnects with the lost angelic guidance’s of our pristine forebears. This hallowed gift did not leave mankind quietly; it had been eradicated wilfully throughout time by the ongoing coercive pressures of predatory leaderships in their efforts to achieve control over the many. (Authorities on predatory psychopaths, ref. Robert Hare & H.M. Cleckley.) This ancient separation was mankind’s most tragic, of all losses, for in its place came Homo sapiens fall from grace and its journey into synthetic man.

 Thirdly, I shall be reuniting us with stunning realities of ‘Supra Ordinate’ significance that are now mostly lost to our species. Yet, for reasons not easily understood, these realities are still manifesting their phenomena objectively here and there into our synthetic lives, realities, which we then disparage. Perhaps we should look a little closer at our manufactured selves as expressed in this verse:-

 Patrimony

There’s an abstract jigsaw puzzle

within the minds of most mankind,

with pieces forced together,

calculatedly assigned.

So this fallacious picture

of what’s purported to be real

is the heritage of every child;

the truth from it to steal.

Too few will reach their closing days

that flung the picture to the ground

then placed with care, each piece together

where they should rightfully be found.

About the Author

    Colin's life has been a balancing act between many occupations. Born in 1932 he left school at fourteen. He was put to the building trade and in later life ran his own business for several decades.

He ran away to sea at sixteen and sailed around the world with the P&O ship SS Corfu until he was eighteen when he was called up to do his National Service in the army. He became a Physical Training Instructor (PTI) and whilst stationed in Germany, went on to become the individual fencing champion of BAOR (British Army of the Rhine).

 After leaving the army he was eventually drawn into local functions with his acrobatic speciality act, which in turn led to an agent and paid appearances. Vocal training followed and for many years, he sang locally as a solo tenor, later to be accompanied by his wife Anne on the piano.

 Years later, he and his wife Anne emigrated to Australia and travelled 28,000 miles around the continent before settling on the Gold Coast. They returned to England after five years where Colin resumed business in London. Anne worked in the music industry of EMI Records and later with British Airways, until her retirement.

He has always been intensely interested in human nature and, his lifelong ambition has been to express his observations and solutions as to the anomalies of mankind. This came to fruition with his first book, “Step into the Rainbow”, which was mainly done in the form of verse but, with subsequent books, he went into the subject more fully.

 His previous three books, (The Summerhouse Journals Trilogy) The Summerhouse, Summerhouse Timeshift and Summerhouse Stepping Stones, were a break from reality but, had aspects open to question. He has acquired several patents (one presently being developed in China). His inventive interests and other hobbies included sub-aqua, water skiing, surfboard riding and hang gliding.

 Anne was classically trained on the piano and, both she and Colin used to be members of oratorio choral and musical societies in Australia, London, Dorset and later, in Cyprus.

 In 2007 they moved with their two Siamese cats, Sable, Sapphire and Amber, their black domestic, to Paphos in Cyprus. Sadly, all the cats passed on during their seven years on the island.

 They have both always been animal lovers and later rescued five cats in Cyprus, bringing four back to the United Kingdom in 2014. One of the five (a Siamese) sadly died before the journey home was made. One of the remaining four was an injured tabby and she flew back with the three others. On arrival, she had to undergo surgery to remove her right leg but, is thriving - as are all of them in the English countryside with green grass - something none of them had seen before.

Part One

Dissertation

As I write, the focus of my concerns, remain upon the general negative themes that run through our species; they are universal patterns and causes that run through our history in an unresolved automated fashion. We need look no further, to find the arch enemies of humanity which undermine our higher qualities.

 Plant the truth - reap the storm

 Both the Holocaust and a visit to the Somme in France set me on a course to expose the negative elements in human psychology that factor into history’s never-ending atrocities. This is to enter a minefield of spurious sacrosanct, which puts inquiry into conflict with people’s comfort zones and therefore, have always been carefully skirted around but, through that avoidance, have ensured that yesterday’s nightmare issues are still with us today. With this in mind, I have endeavoured not to make that same mistake, but in doing so, put something satanic under threat, as I shall reveal with other matters as we go along.

 The World to Which We Repair

Touch not our thoughts or our ideas

nor clutter your paradigm into our ears.

The shutters are up to stifle the flow

and keep out the voice that disturbs status quo.

We have our worlds to which we repair;

try bringing the real world to us if you dare.

Aposteriori

Looking back in time two hundred years,

they had some strange uncivilised ideas,

but they looked back and did the same;

each generation plays this game.

When our todays, are yesteryears

twill be the time our turn appears

thus, a common and recurring theme

that time and change does not redeem.

This natural affinity for curious premises

turns cause into folly and effect into nemesis.

These events are symptomatic

of a penchant for delusion,

where cause and effect is deemed

an unwarranted intrusion.

Man’s psychology is littered

with these cloisters of futility

whose antecedence claim the future

as a pawn for its utility.

Shadow side

You can fool most of the people all of the time

but only a few, for some of the time.

It would be much easier and certainly more popular, if I were to write about those clever, generous or courageous people, whose exploits so often grace the screens of our television. However, my exposures do not concern themselves with the goodness within us, rather, that we should be a great deal better. Plato (300 BCE) was doing exactly that, alerting mankind to its dangerous habit
