ESCHATOLOGY OR SCATOLOGY –

Judgement at the Crossroads

The files of which can be read via the links below the following remarks:–

One can take humble or vulgar means, including slang or casual obscenity, and seek to develop them philosophically in such a way that things come to light that would otherwise probably have remained buried and hidden from view. Sometimes it were better that such things did remain buried. Yet if one can bear to contemplate them and grow to understand them better, then the reward is not insubstantial, but arguably well-worth the trouble! So it has been here, with Eschatology or Scatology, where I have come full-circle, as it were, and highlighted a significant distinction between the two types of people's radicalism which all those of an unworldly persuasion have to choose between, often unconsciously and according to the kind of society or civilization in which they find themselves or to which they ethnically relate – namely the Social Theocracy of the high road and the Social Democracy of the low road, the former incontrovertibly determined to bring one aspect of the world to Heaven, the latter just as incontrovertibly determined, so far as I’m concerned, to bring a neo-diabolic mode of Hell to the other aspect of the world; though to find out which is which you will have to read this text and thus undertake a journey the likes of which you’ll never have taken before, one which may even overtake your prior expectations and leave you marvelling at the situation in which you then find yourself, for better or worse. – John O’Loughlin.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

John O’Loughlin was born in Salthill, Galway, the Republic of Ireland, of mixed Irish- and British-born parents in 1952. Following a parental split he was brought to England by his mother and grandmother (who had initially returned to Ireland with her Aldershot-born daughter upon the death of her husband) in the mid-50s and subsequently attended schools in Aldershot (Hants) and, with an enforced change of denomination from Catholic to Protestant in consequence of having been sent to a Children's Home by his mother following the death and repatriation of his ethnically-protective grandmother, Carshalton (Surrey). Upon leaving the latter in pre-GCSE era 1970 with an assortment of CSEs (Certificate of Secondary Education) and GCEs (General Certificate of Education), including history and music, he moved to London and went on, via two short-lived jobs, to work at the Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music in Bedford Square, where he eventually became responsible, as a clerical officer, for booking ABRSM examination venues throughout Britain and Ireland. After a brief flirtation with further education at Redhill Technical College back in Surrey to do English and History A Levels, he returned to his former job in the West End but, due to a combination of factors, quit the Associated Board in 1976 and began to pursue a literary vocation which, despite a brief spell as a computer and office-skills tutor at Hornsey YMCA in the late '80s and early '90s, he has steadfastly continued with ever since. His novels include Changing Worlds (1976), An Interview Reviewed (1979), Secret Exchanges (1980), Sublimated Relations (1981), and Deceptive Motives (1981). Since the mid-80s John O'Loughlin has dedicated himself to philosophy, which he regards as his true literary vocation, and has penned several titles of a philosophical nature, including Devil and God (1985–6), Towards the Supernoumenon (1987), Elemental Spectra (1988–9), Philosophical Truth (1991–2) and, more recently, The Best of All Possible Worlds (2008), The Centre of Truth (2009), Insane but not Mad (2011) and Philosophic Flights of Poetic Fancy (2012).
