On the Threshold

An Australian hybrid publisher recently published a book of mine: On the Threshold. It's a very humble book, and it's quite obscure. Still, the book is important because it ultimately explains the origins of the universe, the meaning of life, and the purpose of civilization. Honestly.

I have been told I should write a book about my life experiences, about my career paths and so on.

They say "You're so interesting and lead such a colorful life." All I think of "How is my life so interesting and colorful?" All I did was live my life and make the best of it.

My answer to them was "I don't even know proper grammar. So how can I even write a book?"

@HumanEarth You don't have to have proper grammar. The editor will fix all that. The important thing to know is that each one of us is a book and/or palimpsest. There is no reason why you couldn't put it down in writing.

Since my friend told me this. I did pick up a spiral notebook and started writing down my memories.

Will they become a book, who knows. If nothing happens. At least family can read it.

Does it explain how change takes presidence over every including change itself? 🙃😊

Does it go into the math of change?

I have given great thought to this aspect. Including the math and physics of change.

Yet to put everything in writing, though bits and pieces or all over this site.

@DeWayfarer Great stuff, DeWayfarer. When it comes to math and physics, I've put all that type of thing into a manuscript that I hope to publish more toward the end of my life. It's a manuscript that deals with the riddle of the universe by meditating on the concept of eternal recurrence. As I'm sure you know, that was a concept that intrigued Nietzsche—at least in passing. At any rate, On the Threshold contents itself with lucid answers to simple questions. I wanted my point of view character to explain things so that almost anyone could understand.

Thank you for all your comments and good cheer. I'm new to Similar Worlds, so I don't really even know what I'm doing. I'm open to suggestions, though!

Did you write it all at Havana House coffee?
MLaszlo · 51-55, M
@DownTheStreet Magnificent question. Unlike others, I rarely write at Havana House coffee. But I love coffee.

@MLaszlo I find I need the distracting din of a public space to focus me when writing - irony there I guess
MLaszlo · 51-55, M
@DownTheStreet Whatever works for you is what matters.
Allelse · 36-40, M
Important? I bet.
MLaszlo · 51-55, M
@Allelse Yes, indeed. The greatest thing a person can is try to unravel the riddle of the universe.
Allelse · 36-40, M
@MLaszlo What makes you think it's a riddle?
MLaszlo · 51-55, M
@Allelse Hello, great question. I was just speaking metaphorically. When we begin to ask ourselves the big cosmological questions, we start out intellecually dis-satisfied and perplexed. As such, the meaning of things, especially the big things, seems or feels like a puzzle. Does that make sense?

Congratulations !

You can share your author copy ?
MLaszlo · 51-55, M
@scorpio611 The book is actually free for anyone with Kindle Unlimited. Otherwise, I don't actually have an author copy. I'm very humble and obscure.
DownTheStreet · 56-60, M
Are there lots of pictures ?
MLaszlo · 51-55, M
@DownTheStreet No, unfortunately. But I like pictures. I'm actually thinking about starting an instragram account, but it's a bit daunting.
