Beyond the Nonsense Play
Beyond the Nonsense Play is a new and condensed update to 'The Nonsense Play'. It throws a critical spotlight on the zeitgeist of contemporary Western culture, including our ideas about climate change, sustainability, who we are, social constructs, fairness, polarisation, where science is going, and the human brain. Not least, it challenges the societal norm in its notions about our humanity and spirituality, sexuality and love.
Ekanta
Luke is seeking escape by exploring a new coastline formed after a cataclysm that changed even the geography of the Old World. A careless mistake leads to a near fatal accident that results in him being brought to an island community - the Ekanta - where he finds himself increasingly drawn into an unfolding prophecy. Most groups in the Ekanta are concerned with seeing what is going on around them according to the their various belief systems. Binding all together is the Prophecy from the original spiritual Order on the island, now adopted by the Foundation that has built the Ekanta. The Prophesy tells of the reincarnation of Lalitchandra, which is to take place in the Ekanta. However, all is...
The Philosophers and the Mere
The inner circle of the philosophers of Pavi Bujdam are a close group of friends who include a renowned artist, a mathematician, musicians, dancers, theologians and an astrologer, who all live with the great philosophical question of what lies beyond the mere surrounding their almost trouble-free land. In their meetings together they are always exploring their philosophies, an exploration in which the reader is invited to share in the form of the entertainment of the story. In a setting of symbolism and literary device, through the storytelling in The Philosophers and the Mere we tacitly meet Buddhism, ancient Greek philosophy, the Hindu Puranas, Renaissance Neoplatonism, Christianity, the s...
Śiva's Brainchild
Hinduism is ancient. Considered as one religion, it is the oldest religion on Earth. Modern scientific understanding, in contrast, is relatively very recent. It is only in this very recent mode of understanding that we have come to understand the basic material structure of the human brain is that of a supremely complex network. We don't find anything in the Hindu corpus that refers to this, or to the modern scientific fact that our experience of self and world as human beings, is a construct of the functioning of this supremely complex network. And yet Hinduism itself contains, expressed through a cultural fabric, the representation of a supreme understanding, through which the most fundame...
On Joan Lindsay's Picnic at Hanging Rock
'On Joan Lindsay's Picnic at Hanging Rock' reviews Joan Lindsay's work in its completion together with the original last chapter. Drawing on the evidence of Joan Lindsay's video interviews the review argues that Joan Lindsay would have wanted as many people as possible to appreciate the work in its completion and true context, the context she talks about in her interviews. The review pays special attention to Joan Lindsay's perception and understanding of time, and the nature of human affairs and experience in relation to it. The second half of the review reflects on the novel in comparison with Hinduism.
Musicology of Religion
For generations, religion and music have been regarded as "universals," yet despite the fact that they have been frequently linked throughout history and topography, and despite the importance of music in the early stages of religious studies, their combined presence has not until now been considered a separate area of study and research. While there are well-developed fields of anthropology of religion, psychology of religion, and philosophy of religion, the widely recognized connections between religion and sound, chant, and music warrant comparable study. Drawing upon theories and methods in the study of both religion and music, referencing examples from world religious traditions, and addressing challenges posed by critics, this book envisions a unified field for religion and music: musicology of religion. Grounded in the scope and methods of phenomenology and comparative analysis, musicology of religion represents an innovative direction in interdisciplinary study, enriched by the social sciences, ethnomusicology, philosophy, theology, liturgical studies, and cognitive studies. As conceived, musicology of religion will spearhead new and creative paths in the study of religion.
