This book is about the Invisible apparent. Its narratives investigate what it is to be alive with the concealed … its anchors, caresses, respect, stains, touches, tests, threats, zaps … entangling us in myriad ways … a spectrum of forces from the brutally barbaric to the humanely compassionate … a range from here to eternity – a lottery at birth – beyond our choosing – after which we live.
Then we begin our journey, caught-up by what is visible and what is not.
The eighteen hybrid writings within Joyful Darkness encompass the birth of our Universe to time without horizon – from infancy to the point of dying – from the scale of a tiny insect to that of the tinier, mighty photon – from free will to the incursions of artificial intelligence. Between these covers, some of the invisibilities that trammel us in these themes are investigated.
Much is Darkness – 96% of the Universe.
Closer to home, the bio-chemical infinities of our brains determine emotional darkness, all of us utterly involved in what we cannot feel, hear, smell, taste, touch, see – and indeed – any of the further 12 to 15 senses that contemporary science informs us that we have.
As for the search for, and experience of Joy – well that might be the point of it all – foundation to the wonder of mind and consciousness.
