Dear Friends,
I have finally brought Metaconsciousness: Mythology for a Post-Civilized World to some kind of a... well, "conclusion" isn't exactly the word I want; for the work is the fruit of an ongoing personal exploration still in uninterrupted progress. Let's just say that with the final section, II.8. The Myths of Life and Death, I have decided to let that particular work rest, and move on to other projects. It's been good; I've learned a great deal, and the work did not end up in the same "space" as it began – a quality shared by its concluding section, II.8.
As mentioned in the revised Introduction, "The Author too has experienced 'growing pains' during the course of the exploration that follows, and I am not at all certain at the end of it that I remain in complete harmony with everything I myself have written. You, dear Reader, are therefore excused from any obligation for finding perfect accord with what follows. I can recommend the work to you nevertheless, because I believe it does fulfill its purpose as a stimulus to thought – which I consider of incalculably greater value than successfully persuading you to share my peculiar and shifting views."
I think the thoughtful Reader with inquiring mind will find a number of points of interest in the concluding section, which underlines the basis for believing the world in which we live is endowed with a robust, multi-dimensional balance between such complementary Cosmic components as entropy and syntropy (a word I've coined as a complement to the otherwise lopsided entropy); symbiosis and predation; femininity and masculinity; and yes, even between life and death.
I'll not elaborate further here; I hope you find the concluding section enjoyably stimulating and thought provoking. If you do, please do let me know. Thank you.
