The author is a retired scientist who was trained in the engineering faculty of the University of Toronto and graduated with a B.A.Sc. degree in 1960 in Engineering Physics, Aeronautical Option. He worked at moving new Science into practice for more than four decades. He had five cardiac incidents and two out-of-body experiences after taking early retirement and now writes on Science and the spirituality part of Philosophy as Jesuis Laplume, a contraction of the French words (je suis la plume) for “I am the pen.” He had found, in 1984, that when he asked the universe (God, the Divine, Allah, etc.) for help in understanding, he was told to sit down and write until he could write no more – no editing allowed. He found out later that what he wrote was more than he had read, heard or thought about – he was often just the scribe or pen, not the ultimate or only author. Since then he has confirmed that this often happens to authors when they are ‘in the flow.’ It also happens to sculptors, song writers, other creative people and athletes as well.

He cautions any and all readers (not just about his own writing):

It is not only your right, but your responsibility, to accept from what is offered to you only those things that will make you a better you. What those are should be between you and your Creator; no one else.
