The Aftermath

After a decade of graduate studies in the US, he returned to a homeland transformed—not for the better. The once pristine landscapes were now marred by environmental degradation and polluted waterways. With water becoming a scarce resource, the rural communities who depended heavily on fuelwood stood at a precarious juncture. Urban centers, once bustling with life, now languished in squalor. More disturbingly, he observed a pollution of the mind: those who should have been stewards of the earth were either indifferent or alarmingly unaware. They failed to see the broader implications of their actions. Determined to make a difference, he began advocating for the earth’s restoration, emphasizing its vital significance. After all, the earth is our shared home, and neglecting it risks the future of us all.

The Matrix of the Mind

There are many phenomena in the current world that defy explanation from mainstream science. This book introduces a revolutionary concept, Matrix Model Theory, which provides a simple, unique and original insight into the events that led to the formation of the cosmos and the establishment of the planet Earth with its life-sustaining environment. The theory further provides an alternative explanation as to how life originated, how mankind became established and describes the most amazing event of all that occurred, i.e., the technological evolution of the human mind. The book, using Matrix Model Theory, explains how the first living cell evolved survived and was able to replicate. The phenomenon of telepathy is examined, and research by several reputable institutions have established that telepathy does exist and has been proven. Its function is explained by the theory. Although not a useful faculty, it provides a valuable insight into the functioning of the human (and animal) mind.

Matrix Model Theory also explains a wide range of animal behaviour including how a hive of bees can function as a ‘super organism’ which means that the bees sometimes behave as though they are partially under the influence of a single mind. Similarly, termites have the amazing ability to coordinate the construction of complex tunnels within their nests. Although blind, they seem to be from the same blueprint. This book is targeted at the general reader who has an enquiring mind and refers to scientific matters that have been explained in easily readable terms.

Collective Social Intelligence

People are naturally social and social relationships have sustained the ways we interrelate to start and finish our greatest achievements.  Today, the ways we use technology has created a virtual-world that is overloading us with so much information that the resulting behaviors are breaking many productive social relationships in the actual-world.

The virtual-world very often results in out-of-proportion reactions to too much information and too much connectivity.  There's nothing wrong with technology, but if we embrace Collective Social Intelligence (CSI) the technology will be put to better use because by necessity our virtual-worlds will be cleaned-up, mended and re-defined to put humans back onto a faster track of globally pioneering and progressing our place in the universe.

Social Theory of Displacement: Adventures in the Everyday

What is happening when we mistake one thing for another? Disorientations and double takes are a key part of the lived experience of modern capitalism. But the corollary of this is an existential anxiety which motivates a perpetual search for reassurances of our individual and collective identities.How do we escape self-estrangement and alienation on any level of existence? The experiential gaps in formal bureaucratic and marketised ‘life’ present us with absolute boundaries or difference, and hence binary forms of identity. The search for identity is then accompanied by an inability to deal with the hybridity and cognitive dissonance of everyday life.The fragmentations of institutional life nevertheless produce something that passes for a world of reciprocal recognition (we are all colleagues, part of a ‘team’ and so on). In fact, at the same time this pulls the rug out from beneath a sense of mutuality with fellow incumbents of such formal, contractualised settings. The dominance of formal institutions in modern life promotes the idea that we can ‘find ourselves’ within these settings and it does so by insinuating within itself the experiential world that it lacks.Here, informal social worlds appear in chimerical and caricature form. Modern capitalism feeds off and mimics the spontaneity, contingency, and collegiality of the lived world in order to present itself as the genuine article. Social Theory of Displacement: Adventures in the Everyday attempts to unravel the conundrums posed by living in these parallel worlds of reciprocity and contractualism.

“Woman, your eyes camouflaged with the drops immersed in your body.

In your womb, my blood. Open your mouth to breathe, let out a sound, I don’t know if a sigh. Now I am also part of your silence. Words that were left behind, permanent tears in my eyes, delicate crystals through which I see, I look inside, and I discover myself forgotten in your womb.

Life can’t reach me!

Give birth to me, woman! Bring me into the light.”
