Welcome to this book of Poetry: Love, Lust, Loved, Laughter and Lessons. It is my fervent hope and prayer that you will find some interesting in these poems and perhaps learn some life lessons in reading the rhyming poetry that has been more than a two decade adventure for me. Most all poems have been experienced by me in actual relationships or in deep emotional thoughts on events and experiences in life. I would suggest the way to read this book is to identify your feelings and find a corresponding poem that exhibits similar thoughts to assist you in going through your own feelings of Love, Lust or Loved relationships continuing also with the Laughter and Lessons chapters. Prayerfully, I hope you will learn the lessons on a deep and existing level. Perhaps you will not reserve the need or desire to experience the lesson if you read and understand the reasoning that led me to the written conclusions illustrated in these chapters. I started with the inclination of naming this book: "e;What the "e;L"e; do you know? Of course referring to the beginning letter of each chapter and recalls an old crude statement known as [What the "e;hell"e; do you know?] On some level this appeals to the fun loving side of me as a fun loving story and joke teller. You may ask what are my qualifications to write these poems and to present them to you, the reader, as lessons and funny experiences from which you may learn life lessons. I believe age doesn't qualify anyone for anything other than aching joints, unstable bowel movements, loss of friends, loves and probably unmet needs and dreams. But on the other hand what such great memories, exciting experiences and valuable lessons that have been learned in costly, hard learned adventures and mistakes in approximately seven decades of life. As a very spiritual and religious follower of Jesus Christ I have read many of the great spiritual leaders of the past two thousand years. I developed a personal philosophy concerning my earthly existence. I feel and think that as a heavenly tiny spiritual being having the ability to view the entire past as well as the future from heaven and knowing full well all the trials and task I would need to contend with in my earthly human existence. I chose my own parents, I fully knew what I would be asked to endure, to face and what trials I'd contend with daily throughout my life. What makes me a success is that I've met all of those challenges with at least a fair attitude and appreciation for the experience and the lessons learned. Hopefully I have been able to do this with a tongue in cheek manner of happiness and joy. For a more complete understanding perhaps you'd better understand me and my journey if you take a brief look at my attached biography and the life experiences paper titled, "e;I know this man:"e;. Again my hope is that you will learn and grow, as have I. Most importantly to use a quote from Dr. Wayne Dyer "e;Don't die with your music inside you"e;.

Throughout this book, the authors will discuss many subjects and events in detail which may be unknown to the reader. With that being said, this book is more of an introduction to the realm of the spiritual unconscious and should be treated as a motivational work for the soul. This book, Psycosmos – The Sacred Secret Of Humanity, is an abridged version of an earlier Award-Winning work published, titled Psycosmos – A Synthesis On Human History & Spirituality. This earlier work was created to be a synthesis of critical information, and as such, this book pulls directly from it. The key word in the title is ''synthesis'', which the Oxford dictionary defines as "the act of combining separate ideas, beliefs, styles, etc.". This implies that this book should be taken as a simple learner''s approach to the incredibly advanced subjects found within. The subjects discussed in this book are an amalgamation of ideas from all over the world, and as such, there is not enough time or space to further emphasize everything in intricate detail. If the reader resonates with certain aspects of this book, the reader should take the time to do their due diligence and study these topics in greater detail. This has been emphasized so that the reader understands that the authors are presenting as much information as they have allotted, but this does not mean that the authors have ascribed everything about each topic. The intent is to simply relay this information, synthesize the important knowledge, and make it easily digestible and understandable for the reader. These subjects and events are not only complex but righteously invoke intense intellectual, emotional, and spiritual reactions. Everyone must understand that there are many subjects, events, systems, and people (good and bad) that are misunderstood, misaligned, and provoked. This is ultimately due to a fundamental lack of true understanding of the history, spiritualities, and philosophies of humanity as a whole.The readers will have to truly consider subjects from deeply opposing points of view, and this information may challenge the very belief system of certain individuals who have not researched the sacred truths. It is recommended that the reader takes this book chapter by chapter, orderered from start to finish; do not jump around the novel looking for answers. The design of this book ultimately comes from two opposing points of duality that we seek to study and conquer; the true meaning of the Christ, which in itself is a key secret that most are unaware of, and the nature of the beast within. The authors do not seek to attack, mock, or undermine the ideas, beliefs, or faiths of anyone. The authors do, however, seek to challenge these things in a robust, but respectful manner, and where applicable, harsh but fair criticism will be given. With that being said, it should be made clear that readers may be offended by some of the statements in this book. The authors implore the reader to not take offense to these statements, as they are filled with the utmost amount of respect and love towards humanity as a collective. The extent of context required to fully understand these subjects would require a new Library of Alexandria to hold it. In a digital age, this may be plausible. Nevertheless, this book will strive to place this information, as well as our observations and insights, into the proper context as best as possible. In doing so, everyone will see a fuller picture of human history and human destiny - one that is indeed dark and bloody, but also full of light, potential, and the promise of a bright future.
