This is a sequence of 56 poetic compositions concerned with existential issues, many of which reflecting some of his spiritual ideas and a marked preoccupation with matters of Death and the Afterlife After losing his partner to Alzheimer and advancing age, he went through a period of somber thoughts which he translated into a number of his poems dealing with his feelings of aloneness. Still several of his items reflect a slightly different attitude, namely a tongue-in-cheek perspective of those very same subjects. He considers his pieces as being primarily "free verses", emphasizing cadence and meter, with less weight accorded to riming.

The book is a sequence of personal; refl ections covering a recent period of close to half a year: almost forgotten memories that rose from the author's childhood and adolescence periods covering the Second World War in France and later the eastern part of the Third Reich. Most of the pages however are concerned with the mostly unorthodox philosophical considerations that have preoccupied him over the most part of his life attempting to clarify some terms or notions that characterize his views of existence, reality and his and man's relationship to God, and calls it transcendence. The positions he expresses are continuation to comments and ideas he expressed in previous books he wrote in the last decade.

A culmination of experiences in my life condensed like concentrate and laid out for the world to see. Those days of the hot spanking brought on by the decisions of youth. I remember those feelings of dread as the anticipation of the spanking crept over me like an eclipse shadow moving across the earth. I laugh out loud now as I remember various run-ins with the law laid out by the chief justices of my life, my loving parents. Today, I give the thanks and much respect that is due to those two individuals that loved us enough to keep their four children on the straight and narrow. In early 1982, I was bitten with these endless contemplations that I began to write down to ease the pressure in my head. Whatever stimulus I came in contact with would somehow creep into my thoughts and I would relay these contacts in the spoken word. A mixture of stimulations from life it's self began to pour out of my mind so much that persons close to me would ask how I was able to take my mind to those places. Normal life issues like music, love, death, GOD, and various observations that the individual has contemplated for centuries. These expressions are my versions of life through my visions, while I'm still upright and aboveground.

The overall purpose of the book is to concretize and expand philosophy into a Transcendental System of thinking he calls a non-dualistic and deistic path to the Entelechy, that is the ultimate state of Absolute Reality.
