John Dunn original writing
‘Formless universality’ to ‘formed individuality’
My transcendent consciousness is one, unique and specific, the result of a process of ascent. Never has it anything to do with 'oneness' in the sense of a collective entity, or homogeneous totality of levelled differences. I reject the ideal of unity understood as immanence of the ‘One Life’ in every being. This is Spinozism and Kabbalism. Followers of the universalising ideal of oneness serve as the ‘spiritual’ arm of globalism and its Janus faces, financial and Marxist.* They are the fallen angels, the children of Satan. Oneness was the realm of Ananke before the Beginning, being the point of departure and not the arrival in the ascent of my consciousness. Oneness is the ‘undifferentiated substrate’, the forest out of which I carve out my own clearing of ‘formed individuality’; it is not a final state of perfection in which distinct individuals dissolve themselves, losing their identity in a pantheistic fusion with the Whole.
My ascent to transcendence proceed from ‘formless universality’ to ‘formed individuality’, not the other way around.
*In my book Child of Encounter, I condemn the whole of the accepted western philosophico-literary canon as being malignly influenced by Lurianic Kabbalah and Spinozism into promoting pathways to undifferentiated Oneness.

Just a thought:
Bodies and minds are subject to natural decomposition and the market’s will. Our response is humiliating resignation, participative cynicism or no response - idiocy. Gravity pulls us back to the flat ground, to the brutal truth of our origin and to the inevitable end. Here lies the detached rationality of the Jehovian terror, an evil driving its dream to an apocalyptic finale. John Dunn (Child of Encounter)

In search of the historical, quirky and unusual features of the English countryside as seen from the saddle.

“Seeking out historical places of interest has given me wonderful motorcycling opportunities over the years… roads and little lanes, through a variety of landscapes that bear the scars, marks and imprints of those that have trodden, worked and fought on the land before us.”
“Any excursion, whether it be by motorcycle, car, bicycle or on foot, is always better for having an object, or goal in mind. I could take no pleasure in riding around just for the sake of it. There has to be a mission.”
“I ride my motorcycle to seek out things ancient, quirky and monumental, taking in the views, and ‘reading’ the landscape,its geology and history, as I do so.”
