Reflections on my Journey through this Life

The extreme breadth of the title gives me full clearance to write on virtually any subject whatsoever, as long as it reveals my life's journey. The hazard which awaits me as I begin is 'unfinalisability'---that I will not be able to delimit or frame this amalgam of actual infinity. After all, the Angelic Doctor tells us that the "soul is in some sense all things." The remark is a gloss on Aristotle's work "On the Soul (peri psuchein)." Is it really surprising that my effort to reasonably and economically complete my essay now runs into the hundreds of pages and in the process morphed from being a brief essay into a dangerously complex novel? Perhaps I could simply leave the question of the soul out of the essay and hence render the task humanly manageable. That is more or less what Rene Descartes' followers have decided to do---this is also why the contemporary practice of psychology makes no reference to the 'soul' despite the fact that all of the works on psychology prior to the modern era were attempts to account for the working and reality of the soul. It is quite a bit more manageable to leave the study of the soul to priests and rabbis!

The working title of this novel is Kingdom of Light ---let's say it was Kingdom of Light but now the working title is simply "Empire Lite"----'empire lite' is like a lite beer. What 'Coor's lite' is to beer is what  'empire lite' is to empire. Kingdom of Light of course still maintained the goal of describing the truth of the universe, just as psychology in times past aimed at the truthful account of the soul.
