Written by a natural scientist, this book is an essay on universal consciousness, which the author explores using a comparative approach borrowed from the neurosciences and Physics. A super sentient being, God is relative to a level of organization and is necessarily hidden for sentient beings of lower levels.

A novel reading of Parmenides' poem by a natural scientist. The author challenges the traditional ontological interpretation of the poem. Evidence is presented in support of an alternative thesis which views the poem as an epistemological essay on method in natural science.

An enigmatic short story that cuts into the darkness of the male soul. A simple story of a retired man. A lunch under a mulberry tree that opens the doors to the simple joys of life, the hidden pain, drama and despair. A Kafka like nightmare.

The author presents a radically novel analysis of the Iliad based on new concepts taken from the natural sciences, especially neuroscience. His "succedaneum theory" attempts to provide a framework within which several issues (behavioral as well as aesthetic) can be dealt with more parsimoniously.

The Iliad is about "klea andron," the glorious and terrible deeds of men in relation to other men, the raw content of the soul of man, but not of woman. It is a vast lagoon of dream fragments of the male unconscious, haunted with eternal shadows that compete, strut, fight, kill and rape, and above all seek the approval of other men. In this book, I have traced the history of the Iliad from papyrus, to parchment, to paper, to e-book. Next, I have looked critically into the first ten lines of Book 1 of the Iliad in the Latin, French, Greek (vernacular), and lastly English translations, beginning with the first translations of Hall, and Chapman. New translations of passages recovered from papyri and parchment, done by the present author, are included. Lastly, a theory of translation of poetry is attempted.
