Alexandria
« on: September 09, 2020, 05:05:19 PM »
Hello all,

I am happy to release the first edition of Alexandria, which is a collection of my fiction and nonfiction writings, along with a number of dialogues I have had over the years. The work overall presents a cohesive philosophy, and explores spiritual, religious, and mystical topics we would all be familiar with here.

I was inspired to compile everything in one by Walt Whitman, who did the same in his work Leaves of Grass. My plan right now is to simply release newer editions of the collection throughout the years. One idea I have now, for instance, is to later amend it and include my paintings and art.

I've attached it free below, and I've also uploaded it on Lulu books and Smashwords. I may at some point go for a physical publication - but most likely not for some time. There is generally not much demand for books on mysticism, so my goal is just getting it available for those to whom a book like this is valuable.

Warm regards,
Alexander

2022 Edition (latest)

Updated to the third edition. Making some progress with the painting skills, but still not there yet. :) Have a lot of ideas on what to paint in the future.

Mostly small corrections and updates made. Added one (rewritten) article that was low quality before. Added a few journal entries. Moved a few things around.

I've kept most of the dialogues (spelling and grammar issues included) unrevised. Might fix these up in future versions, but I didn't want to change people's original words.
