The Cosmology of Not & The Landscape of Being describes three overlapping evolutions - that of the universe, humanity, and the Self. The book begins with the very basis for reality (which is nothing at all), then explores the Big Bang of the universe and correlates the subsequent expansion of the universe and the evolution of humanity with the evolution of the Self. The Self, then rises through stages of development as Awareness, Consciousness, Authorization for Being, Good & Evil, and other principles are explored in relationship to the search for Self throughout our everyday lives, which is the symbolically, the Landscape of Being.

"Father had hit my brother so many times with that belt that my brother was often left bleeding with cuts and bruises covering his body.Although he would hit me too, he used the threat of being hit to prevent me from telling people what he was doing to me." As a child, Jean endured physical, emotional, and sexual abuse. The effects of this abuse carried over to her teen years and beyond. Jean tells her story from her days as a child living in Brockton, Massachusetts, through her adult years. She shares how every facet of her life was affected by the abuse she experienced as a child. She also shares how her faith in God carried her through it all. Jean's hope is that her story may help others find the healing they need in dealing with the lasting effects of abuse. She shares her path from the dark days as a child with no voice to an adult living with low self-esteem, depression, anger, and guilt. Though all the toxic relationships, physical traumas and thoughts of suicide, God's love carried her through.It is Jean's hope to share how she began to live a life worth living and the healing process she went through to get there.

The Philosophy of Not provides a deep-rooted description of the underlying infrastructure for all of existence. The existence of Not, once fully understood, mandates the existence of Life. From the axiom of Life, we then move on to the spirit-consciousness - your awareness of your own awareness. The ideology of Authorism then builds on that base and gives us a new way of looking at the world. Through authoring your own life and securing your own self-authorization instead of seeking external authorization, you can build an unshakeable foundation and structure of belief. This foundation and structure of belief can then be used as a touchstone in the chaos of life in the modern economically driven technological society.

The last surviving members of a modern doomsday cult must race against time and a hostile environment to discover the final resting place of their late mentor before they fall victim to the coming apocalypse in this tense cosmic horror novella.
