Greetings
I call myself William.
I come from a relatively poor background, in terms of finance and social functionality.
My mother was religious and my father talked about UFOs and aliens.
I chose to adopt Christianity for a while in my late teens. It provided for me a gateway into the more mysterious but I gave up the ‘Christian’ part as irrelevant and surplus to requirement...stunting my ‘spiritual’ growth.
I have no particular belief systems to speak of. Most recently I came to the conclusion that beliefs were surplus to requirement and the truth for me is that I know something for sure or I don’t know it for sure at all. By far, that which I don’t know for sure almost completely obliterates that which I do.
I have had OBE type experiences, sometimes resulting in encounters with an intelligent being different from any human – thus ‘alien’.
I appreciate the possibility that everything experienced is a product of the human brain but am not convinced enough to believe this to be the truth of the case.
I am male, a divorcee having helped produce 4 Children, none of whom I am consistently connected with and none that I love any more than any other child produced in this world.
Since the demise of that relationship, I have had two reasonably long intimate relationships, one I am presently involved in and the other we are still very close friends.
I work part time as a cleaner. Most of my awake time is focused upon the big questions – what is the universe, how did it come to be, what is consciousness, is their continuation of consciousness upon the death of the body, why does god exist as an idea and if there was a ‘god’, what is the most likely ‘personality’ that could be attributed to it?
My friends love me and I them. I write and perform songs and those who hear them respond positively.
I wrote this recently:

In relation to things which have influenced me and are in some way connected to my present position now are:
The Frank Kepple Resource

This document:

...and Tom Campbell’s ‘theory of everything’ which is comprehensive and thought provoking.

I have come to the conclusion (so far) that in relation to individual consciousness, subjectivity rules irrespective of objective reality.
If death was not a reality, objective reality would rule.
Thank you.
William
