In between, there are some fourteen pieces of different length and character,some of which are first-person narratives and others, like 'Concerning a Tree', conversational pieces with intellectual or ideological overtones. The 'tree' in question, incidentally, happens to be a Christmas tree, the true or perhaps potential meaning of which is duly examined from a standpoint close to the author's heart.","thumb":"http:\/\/www.lulu.com\/items\/volume_67\/773000\/773267\/3\/preview\/promo_773267.jpg","date":"Thu, 17 Dec 2009 12:07:03"},{"title":"A SELFISH MAN","url":"http:\/\/www.lulu.com\/content\/e-book\/a-selfish-man\/773479","description":"Like its predecessor, 'Millennial Projections', this volume of short prose also contains sixteen pieces, and again it is an intensely philosophical and ideological project that is, however, more self-consciously avant-garde and determined to allow subjectivity, whether in first-person narrative or thought processes, its share of the limelight.  This is especially so of the title piece, but it's also characteristic, on a completely different structural basis, of the last piece, 'Twelve Thinkers', who have more in common than might at first seem to be the case!","thumb":"http:\/\/www.lulu.com\/items\/volume_67\/773000\/773479\/3\/preview\/promo_773479.jpg","date":"Thu, 17 Dec 2009 12:00:14"},{"title":"A TRUE EXTREMISM","url":"http:\/\/www.lulu.com\/content\/e-book\/a-true-extremism\/773870","description":"This volume of short prose concludes John O'Loughlin's quest for literary perfection in the genre, as it brings his fiction to an ideological pinnacle in Social Transcendentalism, which is explored from a variety of angles and through a number of different characters, though always with a view to justifying and defining it in relation to a kind of ultimate religion.  In that respect, this project is the most ideologically advanced and thematically consistent of the author's six volumes of short prose.","thumb":"http:\/\/www.lulu.com\/items\/volume_67\/773000\/773870\/3\/preview\/promo_773870.jpg","date":"Thu, 17 Dec 2009 11:55:52"},{"title":"BECOMING AND BEING","url":"http:\/\/www.lulu.com\/content\/e-book\/becoming-and-being\/775055","description":"This project is quite unusual in that it combines, in separate parts, autobiographical writings with biographical sketches of some of the writers who have influenced John O'Loughlin the most, including Jean-Paul Sartre, Albert Camus, Aldous Huxley, Arthur Koestler, Henry Miller, Hermann Hesse, and Lawrence Durrell.  At the end, Mr O'Loughlin has appended a list of books borrowed from his local library during a twelve-year period coinciding, in part, with the composition of this text, so that one can compare his reading material - and what he thought of it - with the original material of this project as a guide to how becoming eventually turned into being.","thumb":"http:\/\/www.lulu.com\/items\/volume_67\/775000\/775055\/3\/preview\/promo_775055.jpg","date":"Thu, 17 Dec 2009 11:51:53"},{"title":"BEYOND THE PALE","url":"http:\/\/www.lulu.com\/content\/e-book\/beyond-the-pale\/775270","description":"This project came about as a result of disillusionment with the ephemeral or redundant nature of much autobiographical writing, which can be alarmingly quick to date, and consequently instead of one timescale for composition there are four different timescales, viz. 1983,'85, '93, and '96, corresponding to the divisions of the book into four headed parts, each of which was written quite independently of the others both in timescale and even, to a limited degree, in style.  Thus the result is certainly 'beyond the pale' of both retrospectively inclusive and introspectively exclusive autobiographical writings and remains, to this day, open-ended.","thumb":"http:\/\/www.lulu.com\/items\/volume_67\/775000\/775270\/3\/preview\/promo_775270.jpg","date":"Thu, 17 Dec 2009 11:47:49"},{"title":"PORTRAITS - Power and Glory vis-a-vis Form and Contentment","url":"http:\/\/www.lulu.com\/content\/e-book\/portraits---power-and-glory-vis-a-vis-form-and-contentment\/776803","description":"In this compilation of over thirty biographical sketches, including Hitler, Stalin, de Gaulle, Ben Gurian, de Valera, Franco, Dali, Aldous Huxley, James Joyce, Norman Mailer,Ezra Pound, Carl Jung, and W.B Yeats, Mr O'Loughlin has attempted to view his subjects through the ideological prism of Social Transcendentalism, in order to see how they are reflected.  The results, at times, are quite surprising, if, understandably, also in some instances only too predictable!","thumb":"http:\/\/www.lulu.com\/items\/volume_67\/776000\/776803\/3\/preview\/promo_776803.jpg","date":"Thu, 17 Dec 2009 11:42:01"},{"title":"DOSSHOUSE BLUES","url":"http:\/\/www.lulu.com\/content\/e-book\/dosshouse-blues\/776873","description":"A mixed bag of lyrical, rhymed, free verse, prose, and aphoristic poems which were amongst the first things John O'Loughlin ever wrote, back in the early '70s, this volume of poetry seems to intimate of both his fictional and, more interestingly, philosophical destiny to come, while still remaining refreshingly poetic, if with a jaded sense of humour.

For all their stylistic similarity, however, these poems still vary enormously in length and subject-matter, the longest and arguably best, viz.

Certainly 'Spiritual Intimations' is poetically more assured than its precursor, as well as deeper and thematically more expansive.","thumb":"http:\/\/www.lulu.com\/items\/volume_67\/777000\/777209\/3\/preview\/promo_777209.jpg","date":"Thu, 17 Dec 2009 11:09:36"},{"title":"THE MODERN DEATH","url":"http:\/\/www.lulu.com\/content\/e-book\/the-modern-death\/777330","description":"THE MODERN DEATH offers both a critique of the materialistic superficiality of modern life and a spiritually-oriented ideological solution to it in the form of Social Transcendentalism, which was first introduced into the author's poetry with the volume 'Spiritual Intimations', but here achieves a metaphysical depth of insight that was one of the factors in his subsequently abandoning poetry for philosophy.  Be that as it may, this volume has a right to be regarded as metaphysical poetry, even though John O'Loughlin's concept of metaphysics was to undergo a radical overhaul in the years since the composition of these poems.","thumb":"http:\/\/www.lulu.com\/items\/volume_67\/777000\/777330\/3\/preview\/promo_777330.jpg","date":"Thu, 17 Dec 2009 11:03:55"},{"title":"TREES","url":"http:\/\/www.lulu.com\/content\/e-book\/trees\/777635","description":"Despite the seeming simplicity of its title, TREES is anything but simple, since arguably the deepest and most politically radical of all John O'Loughlin's volumes of poetry, extending beyond as well as  summing up earlier themes with an ideological conviction that points towards a whole new approach to culture and, hence, civilization.","thumb":"http:\/\/www.lulu.com\/items\/volume_67\/777000\/777635\/3\/preview\/promo_777635.jpg","date":"Thu, 17 Dec 2009 10:59:55"},{"title":"ABSTRACTS","url":"http:\/\/www.lulu.com\/content\/e-book\/abstracts\/778726","description":"Mr O'Loughlin's one and only volume of abstract poems can be read (in the main) like an ordinary or mainstream volume of free verse, except that the verse is somewhat freer - and possibly lighter - than would normally qualify for poetry of that ilk.  Nevertheless we believe it stops well short of being 'word art', even if some people might regard it as degenerate verse and therefore subversive of poetry, as normally understood by that term.","thumb":"http:\/\/www.lulu.com\/items\/volume_67\/778000\/778726\/3\/preview\/promo_778726.jpg","date":"Thu, 17 Dec 2009 10:56:30"},{"title":"EVOLUTION","url":"http:\/\/www.lulu.com\/content\/e-book\/evolution\/779031","description":"Mr O'Loughlin's only volume of prose poems, 'Evolution' carries on, in slightly more expansive vein, the social transcendentalist theories first introduced into his poetry with 'Spiritual Intimations' and attempts to bring an almost philosophic degree of metaphysics, including subatomic theories, to bear on what is essentially the brainchild of poetic inspiration.  In that respect, the author has achieved a workable marriage between poetry and philosophy that smacks of progressive rock and\/or what could be called regressive electronica.","thumb":"http:\/\/www.lulu.com\/items\/volume_67\/779000\/779031\/3\/preview\/promo_779031.jpg","date":"Thu, 17 Dec 2009 10:52:52"},{"title":"BETWEEN TRUTH AND ILLUSION","url":"http:\/\/www.lulu.com\/content\/e-book\/between-truth-and-illusion\/779200","description":"Mr O'Loughlin's first exercise in philosophy, dating from 1977, takes as its starting-point an analysis of the inter-relativity of dualities and expands, via a series of aphoristic essays and dramatic lessons, towards a dialogue climax in which the two - inevitably! - characters discuss the implications of a dualistic philosophy both as it impacts on theory and practice.

Unlike plays, these dialogues are intended primarily to instruct and even to enlighten rather than simply to entertain, and tend to be conversationally one-sided, as befitting their didactic intent.","thumb":"http:\/\/www.lulu.com\/items\/volume_67\/780000\/780963\/3\/preview\/promo_780963.jpg","date":"Wed, 16 Dec 2009 11:33:56"},{"title":"THE FALL OF LOVE","url":"http:\/\/www.lulu.com\/content\/e-book\/the-fall-of-love\/782385","description":"The six philosophical essays here, which vary in length and treatment of style, were written in the late 1970s and reflect a non-Marxist concern with the influence of environment upon culture, not least in respect of literature, music, religion, and knowledge generally.  Although the author is not anti-urban per se, he argues that certain types or degrees of urban civilization can be detrimental to spirituality, including the life of the soul, and THAT, believe it or not, was the basis of 'The Fall of Love', which is closer in conception to Spengler than to Marx.","thumb":"http:\/\/www.lulu.com\/items\/volume_67\/782000\/782385\/3\/preview\/promo_782385.jpg","date":"Wed, 16 Dec 2009 11:29:05"},{"title":"THE IMPORTANCE OF TECHNOLOGY .TO THE TRANSCENDENTAL FUTURE","url":"http:\/\/www.lulu.com\/content\/e-book\/the-importance-of-technology-to-the-transcendental-future\/782640","description":"This project derives its quite long title from the combination of two prior collections of dialogues, viz.

In that respect, this project signifies a transcendentalist rejection of humanism, even in relation to comparatively radical humanist authors like Aldous Huxley, whose concept of religious progress remained rooted in human parameters.","thumb":"http:\/\/www.lulu.com\/items\/volume_67\/784000\/784191\/3\/preview\/promo_784191.jpg","date":"Wed, 16 Dec 2009 11:16:18"},{"title":"POST-ATOMIC PERSPECTIVES","url":"http:\/\/www.lulu.com\/content\/e-book\/post-atomic-perspectives\/785510","description":"POST-ATOMIC PERSPECTIVES combines essays, dialogues, aphorisms and maxims in a multigenre format of original philosophy with a transcendental bias, and does so on a basis which affirms a certain post-atomic and post-human(ist) perspective on evolutionary progress which veers towards the messianic, without being in the least bit religiously conventional or conservative.","thumb":"http:\/\/www.lulu.com\/items\/volume_67\/785000\/785510\/3\/preview\/promo_785510.jpg","date":"Wed, 16 Dec 2009 11:10:34"},{"title":"THE WILL TO TRUTH","url":"http:\/\/www.lulu.com\/content\/e-book\/the-will-to-truth\/785965","description":"THE WILL TO TRUTH combines dialogues with essays and aphorisms with maxims in a substantial multigenre project of original philosophy with strongly transcendental overtones, such that embrace a concept of the Millennium which is both a necessary corrective to Marxist limitations and an ideologically meaningful alternative to thousand-year dating.","thumb":"http:\/\/www.lulu.com\/items\/volume_67\/785000\/785965\/3\/preview\/promo_785965.jpg","date":"Wed, 16 Dec 2009 11:07:11"},{"title":"SOCIAL TRANSCENDENTALISM - Socialistic Means to a Transcendent End","url":"http:\/\/www.lulu.com\/content\/e-book\/social-transcendentalism---socialistic-means-to-a-transcendent-end\/787746","description":"This project brings the ideological philosophy of Social Transcendentalism more or less systematically into the open for the first time, and does so from a variety of genre perspectives - essays, dialogues, aphorisms and maxims - with a view to examining and propounding the ideology in question from as many different philosophical angles as possible.
