Oriental Philosophy: Time After Time Chas R Ward

Philosophy, Poetry,and Physics. The primary idea in this book is the Oneness of all things despite appearances. This book is an attempt to blend the Intuitive Philosophy of the East with the Rational Philosophy of the West. The book attempts to show that Time is not part of nature(as proposed by Einstein) and is only a human concept to measure intervals, much like Mathematics is only a way to quantify and qualify known phenomena but tells nothing about nature itself. The book will be in three volumes. This first volume deals with the superstructure of reality and how our psychology and hermeneutic approach to life defines our reality. It's a blending of all the knowledge and philosophical concepts from all angles and cultures rolled into a comprehensive and understandable format from the Eastern and Western perspective. It's an attempt to tie the two together into a seamless fabric, without Time being part of the structure. The original poetry in the book came first from intuitive insight and the chapters following the poetry are just a rational extension of what the poetry means and explains how the rational and intuitive are tied together and make perfect sense. It makes sense to me anyway, and I hope it makes sense to you! I've studied Philosophy as a hobby most of my adult life, and I attempt to answer questions that have eluded some of the great thinkers throughout history. I attempt to explain that Consciousness is the ultimate reality in the form of Light(Awareness) and that physical matter is a temporary illusion. I also try to show that ancient and modern physics supports the idea that Consciousness(Light) is the only true reality. Although not well versed in Physics, I cover some contemporary issues that are underway right now involving the Large Hadron Collider in Switzerland and try to blend Physics together with Philosophy. I hope you enjoy the read and that it gives you something new to think about from an Intuitive and Poetic perspective.
