Building on
the enhanced comprehensiveness achieved in The Myth of Equality(2001),
this project returns us to the concept of a triadic Beyond and explains the
distinction, hitherto unstressed, between primary and secondary forms of both
salvation and damnation, according to denominational predisposition and gender
affiliation, within the subdivisions of any given tier.It also builds upon the dichotomy between
nature and psyche in both sensuality and sensibility, to explain in greater
detail why either nature conditions psycheor, more sensibly, psyche conditions nature.Of course, the author openly acknowledges the
extent to which gender factors-in to the distinction between free nature and
free psyche, but suggests that, through environmental progress, we have the
ability to change the relationship of the one to the other in the interests of
a more sensible outcome.Finally, he reaffirms his opposition
to religious affiliations based on psychic determinism and argues in favour of
the environmental justification for an ultimate religious manifestation, within
the triadic framework alluded to above, of psychic freedom, simultaneously restating the terms
and means by which this may officially be brought to pass. – John O’Loughlin.
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 intially returned to Ireland upon the death of her Aldershot-based husband) in the mid-50s and subsequently attended St. Joseph's and St. George's schools in
Aldershot, Hants, and, with an enforced change of
denomination from Catholic to Protestant in consequence of having been put into
care with Hill House Children's Home by his mother upon the death and repatriation of his Athenry-native and ethnically-protective grandmother, he attended first Barrow Hedges Primary School in Carshalton Beeches, Surrey, and then Carshalton High School for Boys. Upon leaving the latter in pre-GCSE era 1970 with anassortment 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, following promotion to clerical officer, for booking examination venues throughout Britain and Ireland.
After a brief flirtation with further education at Redhill Technical College back in Surrey, where he was then living, he returned to his former job in the West End
but, due to a combination of factors, left the ABRSM in 1976 and began to pursue a literary vocation which,
despite a brief spell as a computer and office-skills tutor at Hornsey Management Agency within the local 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 almost exclusively 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).
