About this ebook
A brief preface repeats the first preface and comments further as it 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 10 speaks of biblical numerology, why 52 is a bad number, the number 11 and such matters. Hebrew, Greek and English compared in prophecy. Vision 11 is a lament by Isaac on the state of the Jews. Vision 12 shows God passing the question of men over to Divine Wisdom. Vision 13 is a conversation between the Angel of Death and Divine Wisdom on how to fix the problems of Earth. Vision 14 opines on the horned dilemma of wisdom and cites a passage of William Blake to refute. Vision 15 compares faith and wisdom, reason and imagination and how they harmonize. Vision 16 advises us not to go chasing dragons. Vision 17 discusses Mordecai in the Book of Esther and his folly. Vision 18 discusses clerical hypocrisy, America and Israel, and their new flags and seals, and some more on biblical numerology.
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.
