    About this ebook

    In death, the power of the departed souls intellect increases astronomically. That enables an all-revealing light to present that intellect with an astronomically vast plenitude of truth every detail of which such an intellect easily grasps with great clarity and speed. What every departed soul thus learns of itself is, in every case, so humiliating, that, without Gods assistance, it will fly into an indescribably fierce rage. So hot will that rage be, that every such soul will, with astronomical intensity, crave above all else a place where it can rest assured there shall never be the slightest reduction in the ferocity with which it hates and foul mouths that plenitude and its Author. Seeing hells degree of isolation alone offers that assurance, every departed soul unassisted by God will wholly ignore the degree and duration of the pain involved and hurl itself into hell with a willingness and gusto far beyond anything we the living can even begin to imagine. How can such a scenario be reconciled with the notion of a God of Love? The author replies with a definition of free will which few if any people have ever encountered.

    Author

    Edward N. Haas

    Born April 13, 1936, in New Orleans, the author graduated from Jesuit high school in 1953. After a single, fruitless semester at Loyola University, he joined the Air Force Dec. 7, 1955. Honorably discharged April 1960, he underwent 2.5 years of floundering so severe he nearly went insane. Desperate, he gave away everything and, for 13 years, lived as a wandering hermit. Seeking as much time as possible for inner reflection upon self, God, and the nature and purpose of reality, he criss-crossed the US on foot 4 times. At first, he lived on whatever food and clothing he could beg. After learning how to live on $1.00 a day, he turned to working at monasteries in the winter for the money to feed and clothe himself during the next spring, summer, and fall of walking. The monasteries also provided libraries in which he could read, and extract notes from, the great writings of the Catholic Church. In August of 1975, his father lost his mind, and it fell to the author to tend to his parents in their hour of need. Thus, after 13 years, his preferred lifestyle ended. Dire poverty gave way to economic independence and total seclusion to what little privacy can be enjoyed by bachelors who prefer to avoid partying, to stay mostly at home, and to bury themselves in as much reading and writing as the world will allow. After his father's death in 1981, the author cared for his mother until her death in 1996. In this book, the self-educated author of 17 self-published books seeks to share with others some of the chains of thought down which his mind was led by 13 years of heroically intense introspection followed to date (2008) by 33 years of moderately intense introspection.
