About The Author

I was born in 1936 in Northern Ontario, of pioneer ancestry in a small wilderness farming area, then without electricity. Primary school education was in a two room school, grades 1 to 5 in one room, grades 5 to 10 in another. I entered an accelerated program that combined grades 7 & 8 in North Bay Ontario some 40 miles distant, where I completed 5 more years of secondary school, the requirement then for continuing to university. I graduated with an applied science degree (BASc 1958) from the University of Toronto and became a chemical process engineer. I have many years of engineering and management experience in the Oil and Gas industries in Canada, Libya, and Saudi Arabia. I have traveled extensively in America, Europe, Africa, and Asia. I am currently retired and living in Thailand.

This writing has ensued from a profound series of revelatory insights into the cosmic order that began at age 32 in 1968. The first, described in Fisherman's Guide and in a website article, explicitly demonstrated how the creative process works and subsequent insights came to assist in finding ways to communicate it. I never invited them. The insights were never capricious and they related specifically to this task. They did not relate specifically to religion, although one that came later involved the archetypal energy pattern of Jesus that left me with a feeling of profound peace. They became less frequent and eventually ceased as the task progressed and the essential elements became indelibly clear in my mind. Although assimilated into ordinary experience, the insights are still very much alive in me.

The insights resulted from a persistent quest into organizational structure in business that extended to the organization of phenomenal experience generally. They were extremely intense, completely transparent, and visually and experientially explicit. They embraced the whole of experience, transcending and subsuming the physical creation in space and time. Nothing was hidden. Although they came in response to an intensive quest into the fundamentals of organizational structure in business, they embraced the whole cosmic order without employing language. The roots of meaning inherent in language derive from the way the cosmic order works so that everything demonstrated related directly to phenomenal experience of every kind. This required a comprehensive review of how left-brain language based knowledge relates to the right-brain intuitive perception of being.

A lifetime of research into the physical and biological sciences and their philosophical underpinnings was required. This was necessary in order to rationally understand and communicate specifically how the cosmic order works in a manner consistent with the empirical evidence of our ordinary experience as well as with the scientifically established factual evidence. This new methodology facilitates direct insight into the structural dynamics of the creative process in a way that complements traditional approaches to science. It can enhance the value and reach of science as well as deepen the appreciation of religion.

Value of the Work

This work is of practical value to layman and academic alike, without imposing a specific ideology. It expands scientific horizons and it can enrich one's religious beliefs, whatever they may be. It lends meaning and direction to everyday life while offering a pragmatic new way to understand our place in the cosmos. It is more than a philosophy. It opens the doors of direct perception into the dynamics of the creative process and creation.

Of special importance, the work specifically offers new approaches to develop our sciences and technologies in sustainable ways that enhance the quality and meaning of life. It is not a new pseudoscience concocted on blind beliefs that lead to no practical benefit. Rather it requires and facilitates direct personal insight into structural dynamics phenomenal experience. It translates directly into real results that resolve many of the current mysteries and problems confronting science. It is a science of life that precisely delineates how intelligent processes work. Practical new methods emerge naturally, led by intuitive insight consistent with the empirical evidence. It is a universal methodology that can complement traditional approaches to science to great advantage.

A Solitary Contribution

These efforts have been a solitary endeavor by the author since the inception of the work over four decades ago, without affiliation with organizations of any kind. The work has been financed soley through the author's employment and personal savings and it has not resulted in financial profit to the author. I am not a guru and I have no following. The ideas contained in the books and articles are simply offered for their practical worth to any and all who may find them of interest and value. That is the way the ideas were so freely and awesomely offered to me. There was no explicit injunction associated with the insights and there is nothing special about me. I am just passing on a gift that was bestowed for reasons unknown.
