Laughing At The Universe Of Lies: Deception, Outrage and Beyond (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781539194798)

Gordon Phinn is a poet and psychic medium who specializes in out of body travel and esoteric spiritual development for the individual and society. His previous works, Eternal Life And How To Enjoy It, More Adventures In Eternity, An American In Heaven, You Are History and Confronting Your Immortality, all outline the parameters of the various stages of spiritual attainment within the Western Esoteric Tradition, that underground stream flowing from Atlantis through Egypt and Greece to the present day, where oppression and condemnation have been reduced to a minimum in many countries, and where the individual is free to evolve without fear of punishment. Laughing At The Universe Of Lies continues this trek as it takes on the conscious deceptions, cunning frauds and the orchestrated conspiracies and cover-ups regularly perpetrated on so-called free societies, where the citizens are plied from childhood with the sweet poisons of propaganda that are artfully embroidered in and around the many fields of human endeavor. The propaganda of politics, the propaganda of religions, the propaganda of economic systems, the propaganda of militarism, of consumerism, of materialism, of anger, of fear and greed. How does one plot one's course through these minefields, how does the individual survive with dignity, grace and unblemished perceptions to attain their pinnacle of development? These essays, in honour of our evolutionary potential, tackle the issues head on and provide a platform from which to survey the unobstructed view. To paraphrase the poet William Blake, cleansing the doors of perception to reinvigorate the infinite is an ongoing act of defiance in the face of the forces that would chain us to a past of fearful and frustrated obedience. Clearing away the clutter of the centuries can show us the compassionate and merciful omniscience we once traded for what George Harrison called "I Me Mine".
