    About this ebook

    A brief preface wanders over the topic of faith and wisdom. These are imaginative rather than eidetic visions (words and thought words.) We wander into scripture and go on to the visions in Chapter 1.
    Vision 1 sees Adam in Persia opining on his fate and options. Vision 2 sees Isaiah 63 and Dan together, one on Mt Hor, one on Mt Sion (Hermon) of Galilee/Lebanon. Vision 3 explains the beasts and meaning in Revelation 13. Vision 4 explains the unclean frogs (Rev. 16.) Vision 5 warns of satanic deception in seeing prophecies fulfilling today before us. Vision 6 discusses the two great commandments of the Old and New Testaments and how the survival of America depends on them. Vision 7 warns against going on crusades in the future and today. Vision 8 scorns atheism and positivism of Ayn Rand. Vision 9 discusses the ten horns in Daniel 7. NOTE: I have some ideas for new radios, plasma containers. Religion keeps popping up into my literary horizon. This could be it: the end of this stuff. Maybe not.

    Edward E. Rochon

    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.
