M-theory, the latest attempt by scientists to formulate a grand theory of everything, is doomed to failure from the outset. Why? Because it ignores the unextended domain outside space and time, the domain of zero and infinity. M-theory explicitly sets out to prevent the appearance of zero and infinity in any of its equations. It is the last will and testament of materialism, its concluding grand folly before it finally confronts the truth of an immaterial partner to the material world.

Here is the tale of this extraordinary cosmos of ours. We will take you on the strangest journey, from Kabbalism, Zoroastrianism, Manichaeism, Gnosticism, Hermeticism, Rosicrucianism, Platonism, Neoplatonism, the Emerald Tablet, the Golden Dawn, Aleister Crowley, the "perennial philosophy", genies, Aristotle, entelechy, forms and matter, mind and matter, universals and particulars, all the way to materialism, Darwinism, and M-theory.

"The test of any man lies in action." - Pindar

Everyone can become a hero. We have an inbuilt program for it, but few choose to activate it, or know where to begin.

Learn about your inner hero in terms of Jungian and Freudian psychology, creative writing theory, the theory of sympathetic magic, NLP, Nietzsche and existentialism.

En route, you will discover the horrors of the ultimate jail - the Panopticon - that shapes our world. You will stumble through Derrida's method of deconstruction and learn if you are living in bad faith (according to Sartre). 

What is the difference between the ego and the self? Is the self our soul, and does it have a direct connection to God? Is The Matrix the ultimate hero tale, and Neo the supreme hero?

"Be what you know you are." - Pindar

Is it possible to become God? Is the unconscious mind nothing other than the God portal, the Heaven gate?

This is the extraordinary account by the ancient and controversial secret society known as the Pythagorean Illuminati of how it is possible for every human being to attain divinity.

This is a short book about madness - the madness of the world. Every person, every city, every nation, every continent, and the planet Earth itself is steadily going insane. What are the causes? Can anything be done? Can the process be arrested and even reversed?

This book concentrates on the United Kingdom as one of the most deranged countries in this Mad World, but a host of other nations would serve just as well.

The major causes of insanity are: 1) religion, 2) nationalism, 3) corporations, 4) capitalism, 5) the family.

It's time to put the world on the psychiatrist's couch and listen to its tale of fear, alienation, angst, inauthenticity, disenchantment, over-expectation, constant disappointment and thwarted dreams.

Never has so much been promised to the ordinary man and woman and so little delivered.

The political system of the future is here. Meritocracy represents the end of the democratic hegemony. Join the Revolution. 

The Meritocracy Party campaigns to replace democracy with meritocracy. Democracy has become the single biggest obstacle to the rise of the most meritorious. In the USA, no matter your talents, you cannot become President unless you have access to vast wealth to fund your campaign. In Great Britain, social mobility - the opportunity to improve your social standing - has gone into steep reverse. If you are born into a poor family you are statistically almost certain to remain poor, regardless of your merits. If your parents are rich, you can start looking forward to a prosperous future, regardless of your merits.

The human race is ill. One story above all reveals the sickness at the core of the human psyche... the tale of the Tree of Knowledge. What does it say about the human race that knowledge is associated with the loss of paradise, with the forbidden, with the defiance of the rightful authority ("God"), with alliance with the serpent (the Devil), and with the advent of suffering, sin, and death? Why should we be surprised that Martin Luther, the founder of Protestantism, described reason as "the Devil's whore"? Why was Socrates put to death by Athenian democracy? Why has no genius ever been a king, prime minister or president? Why are intellectuals held in contempt? Knowledge and reason have always been viewed by the human race as distasteful, suspect, unnatural, and certain to lead to trouble.

Even more than an economic system, capitalism is a psychological instrument for manipulating and exploiting gullible, credulous, suggestible human beings. It's about "pressing your buttons", about working out what makes you tick in order to sell you more stuff. It's about operant conditioning to control your behaviour. Where religion wants to control you by making you fear God, capitalism wants to control you by making you desire to be treated like a God... while you have the money to buy things.
