These are the other wrtings which i am working on.

THE DOLL's HOUSE   a story about a coastal museum and plague pits
THE MARK IN THE GLASS  a strange haunting leads to the beginning of apocalypse.
AFTER   survival in a post apocalyptic world.
DEMON BREEDERS  bk 1: a millionaire is trying to create a new type of demon
LILITH  bk 2 a group of supernatural financial brokers invite a cutoms officer with a bizarre ability to join them in loosing an ancient Hindu creature on London.But an ancient order of warriors has sent a representative to prevent the robbery of an ancient part of Indian mythic history and return it to where it belongs.
THE GHOSTS OF KATIE ROWAN a worker in a care home suspects the financial duplicity of her boss, and begins to realise that something is chasing him.
...very autobiographical that one !

Nearly all written, except After and Lilith,  but in course of editing.

 My major theme is that all human beings are at risk of being the hosts to demons. Not only in terms of possession, but as the incubators of demon infants, and this is because modern day demons are a type of third kingdom of animal life on this planet, with a closer affinity to plants than to animals. Unable to  breed with people, they find there are other ways to grow themselves from the human personality.

I have a little exhibition booked of my India and Nepal photographs in August in Suny Worthing England, for anyone who is around that way. It's a chance to air my images of India life. (Aug 13-27 Worthing library) I haven't exhibited work since 1990, apart from the odd piece in Twickenham once.

I love India, and the orient, esoecially the mystical world view.
I have been Buddhist for some time.

When i went to the Taj, I felt such a strange affinity for it, almost a sense of dejavu,
And it makes me wonder if I lived there in a previous life.

Everyone knows what this is (copyright@terrywhite 30.5.16)

I had this same feeling looking at the shanty town along the road, which led us there early in the morning, so it does make me wonder, could I have once been involved in a minor way with work on the Taj, a labourer maybe?

I probably came downhill a long way since then, maybe I was reborn as a demon before I entered this life.? Or a hungry ghost maybe?

The Taj really is as magnificent as everyone says it is.
The gardens of paradise on earth.

So what do I think can be said to be happening? 

 There are three explanations for any supernatural event

1. It's a memory of something, either of a living thing or an image of an event impressed somehiw in the physical environment, e.g. the Stone Tape theory

2 it's a product of a mental kind, either consciously or unconsciously, individually produced or by the involvement of several minds

Or 3 there are entities behind these events,

Is it conceivable that the third possibility even exists.?

Well, that depends upon whether, in the order of things, there's a likelihood that they come from somewhere other than from the sources 1 or 2.

As a devil's advocate, here, there are so many living beings which are understood to be members of the animal kingdom, despite human beings driving species to extinction, the world is replete with them, even (or because?) down to the microbial level

The same is true of the plant kingdom, where life of a more passive type (usually) flourishes, everywhere in millions of varieties,

How can we say that other entities don't exist as part of a different kingdom of life altogether, except that we don't normally see them, as our capacity to access their  operative  frequency is limited.

I think that, if this is true, then there's evidence of a sort that they are tied to us, as a species, because we have a huge corpus of literature recording these events. 

There's evidence that animals are aware of them, but of course they don't keep records of their sightings like we do.

The only question is how, or to what degree, do they exist independently of us, or why. Or are we merely returning to an example of type 2 above?

That they are the product of the mind, in error, misinterpretation, conspiratorial design, the Tulpa concept, (viz Alexandra David-Neel)or are we all capable of being ghost story dramatists?

            What is a ghost then.? Or come to that any supernatural force. Are we supposed to believe that they exist as individuals separate from us.

If they aren't separate from us does that mean that they are only hallucinations,

 or ilusions crested by the mind? 

I always believed in Occam's razor, basically that you shouldn't proliferate entities, where they needn't necessarily exist. But i don't think that we do understand what does and doesn't exist. What i will say is that i don't believe that a being's appearance in a movie, like the Mummy or flesh-eating zombies somehow signifies that these things exist outside of the movie. What they really are, if they exist at all, is far more interesting.

It's commonly stated that if a propsition of a ghost or an entity is  rejected by someone, and then the rejection is disproved on any basis at all, then that effectively stills all scepticism. You hear that again and again, in one form or another from ardent believers, but it doesn't work. The burden of proof with regard to anything which is unlikely, can't be sidestepped like that. It remains with the person claiming it, not with anyone trying to discount it, even if they're wrong. It remains to be proved by the believer, and that has to be as true for a scientist as it does of a ghosthunter. 

I don't care if it's a long held belief, if there are only single pieces of evidence, which can't be qualified by views from different perspectives at the same time.

That isn't wholly a sceptic's argument. 

Some sceptics are willing to be convinced.

What it is , is a statement that anyone who says that a sceptic's arguments are all overridden because they're being merely sceptical, is nonsense.

That is part of what is required of an enquiring mind.

I'm sure that will offend somebody. Everbody is offended all too easily these days.

I have always loved writing. I remember coming home from school late one evening in the dark, and seeing shapes in the trees, which i decided to describe in writing. I don't mean that i saw anything supernatural. But it led to my first ghost story, about a terror, which stalked the bagpipe player on the battlements of Edinburgh castle.
I was hooked with writing ghost stories after that.
Actually i haven't seen any?....exactly.... but i can recount some odd experiences.

This for instance.
I went to Nepal a few years ago, and this ball of light was in many of the photos, which I took through the window. Lens flare? How? I couldn't see the sun, and curtains were drawn on the other windows opposite. You can see the reflections of the windows on the other side of the van.
Spirit from the foothills of the Himalayas?

Do you believe in orbs?


I prefer to think in terms of the Spirit of the Place.

    I want to create a writing list of my work.

    For anyone who wants to know what I've written....

 i'll post a few small lists over the upcoming days.

   The list of work are as follows:

 first of all: The Nadia Jamiessen stories

five so far.

*   I put my favourite one, the Nest, up first on Amazon Kindle, because  it has personal keyotes for me.(I'd even go as far as to say it has autobiographical elements - in a metaphorical sense.) I feel sympathy for the heroine of the story, threatened by he forces which run ( or it might be said ruin)  society, and utter frustration at the malignant faceless forces, which seem to be at work everywhere. .That's a theme of these stories, the battle against threats to the human world by 'supernatural' agencies, perhaps a bit tongue in cheek, with some terror elements to them.

Nadia supposedly works for a group of witch-hating vigilantes, who want to see witchcraft, which is rising to dominance again in society, stamped out. However, nothing Nadia either says or does  is simple. There is an older and darker magic in the 'Riding of the Hosts.'

 

          1.. The Bartocco Mix            ..                    written and in editing process

          2 The Garden of Rare Books                        written and in editing process 

                       * 3 The Nest                                               written and posted          

                      4 The Seal of Sigismund                             written and in editing process 

                           5 title not decided                                 in process of writing                          

                I'll blog list of other novels on my  processing list up in next blog

To open the door beyond which are other worlds of mind and imagination?
I was thinking of the famous original tv show The Twilight Zone.

I have always been fascinated by the ideas in the literary world of people like C S Lewis, Frances Hodgson Burnett at least in terms of the Secret Garden of childhood,
And of course M R James, and H P Lovecraft,  where a door opens on a mystical world.

This has been an obsession with me all of my life, probably because of how revolting  this society can be for putting money and the pragmatical and everyday before the spiritual.
I have increasingly become tired of science and money as the only spiritual beings, which we think exist, surely we don't really believe that.

I'm posting my books, novels, fiction on Kindle, and am also going to get my ideas out there as well. some of these you may take to be crazy, or agree with. Or you may think the ideas have come from the right direction but taken a weird turn.

It's my fictionalising mind maybe. Anyway here the ideas, which blossom, (or decay, it depends on your point of view) which come into my head, I'll enter here.

This is a new enterprise. I'll have to see how it works.
Until then, fellow travellers into the Twilight Zone, bear with me.


Bon voyage.
