Life -- physical and esoterical. All for science to discover

Articles based on life and its source. Not everything we see is real. Not everything real is what we see. I'm endeavouring to put forward some views on life based on simple physics that is beginning to become mainstream. We are no longer prepared to accept what society in general wants us to believe. Religion in all its denominations was created by the Establishment for the sole purpose of creating fear. In turn the large banks, the conglomerates and all their puppets could continue their control over our lives. This is not the way that it should be and I'm hoping that people who read some of my material, either here or on my website, will come on to me and support a forum where discussions such as this can be brought into the open. The most amazing power on this earth (apart from nature itself) is not the sole property of the Establishment. No -- it's people power. We can make that difference if only we are prepared to take responsibility for ourselves.

“The Meadow” – a great love story

MY FIRST BLOG ENTRY AND AN INTRODUCTION TO "THE MEADOW"

There will be many blogs that follow, but this one in particular is meant to act as the home blog, a place from where readers and bloggers can move out from here and find what there is to know about “The Meadow”, a novel written about past lives and love that is eternal. Who will be the first to spot its potential I wonder?

Find the links to the right of this page to navigate to other blogs which promote “The Meadow” and also take you to external sites of related interest and other people’s views.

There are more links added near the foot of this page plus my personal details just in case someone wants to get in touch.

The photo in various parts of this lens, of the painting about The Meadow, is not intended to depict the book cover which will be shown further down this page.

Contents at a Glance. The links below take you to my Squidoo page and display the same contents as on this page.

The Meadow seeks recognition

THE INTERNET IS THE ONLY WAY FORWARD

Publication of a great story is only the beginning. Now it has to find its rightful place amongst the bookshelves with all the other fantastic works of fiction.

This can only happen when it is brought into people’s awareness.

“The Meadow” has taken two and a half years to write and the authors do not intend for it to take that long to gain momentum as it reaches public scrutiny.

We rely on the power of the Internet and the tools which are available to us. There are many potential readers out there and using the right approach by using this facility will go a long way to helping us achieve our goals.

Watch this space. Now we have a lovely printed dust cover to put over that blank book above.

The physical meadow versus the celestial watering hole called "The Meadow"

Which would you choose?

To the right is a beautiful photo of a real meadow somewhere. Once you begin to read "The Meadow" your mind will possibly take you to another world and let you experience a meadow from another dimension -- a celestial watering hole where souls go to rest between physical lives.

Observe the painting below and see what conjures in the minds of the two authors who wrote "The Meadow".

"THE MEADOW" BY MIKE O'HARE AND ELFREDA PRETORIUS

An novel waiting for publication

Looking for all the spiders and engines that will draw people to the attention of the effort to launch "The Meadow" onto the bookshelves.

The Feathers

One from an eagle and the other from an owl

This is how the story begins, with a legend, where two tail feathers are cast from an eagle and an owl in an aerial display.

THE MEADOW - A NOVEL WRITTEN TO SHARE WITH THE WORLD

The blogging road to final publication

Welcome to The Meadow Blog, a way of trying to get across, by way of interaction and communication, a message about a story that was written by two people - Mike O'Hare and Elfreda Pretorius. We came across each other totally by accident. In fact we met over the Internet through a mutual friend and from that point we discovered that we shared a very unique story.

With two continents between us and a distance of more than five thousand miles, we managed to produce a complete work of fiction, comprising of more than five hundred pages without ever laying eyes on one another. When you consider the difficulties that exist between two writers in similar circumstances in the normal sense of the word, then I hope that you can appreciate the amazing achievement that has occurred here.

Now that the story has been finished, we aim to market the novel in the most effective way possible. We have experienced the closed doors that have prevented us from reaching the publishing industry. I have since learnt that unless you are famous or are an existing and successful author, then you have little chance of having your work published, despite the quality or content of what you promote.

So here I am, along with my writing partner, champing at the bit and raring to go down the blogging route to successful publication. It's going to be a long haul, but I'm ready for the interaction and opportunity that it will bring to make new friends along the way and, maybe, just create that big break.

"The Meadow" is a story about life. It is not just a book of fiction, but conveys and graphically illustrates how love between two people can last into eternity. This story is about how two souls find themselves born into antiquity and strive to unite life after life. Yes, this is about past lives, or reincarnation if the word does not offend your values and beliefs.

As with all good novels, "The Meadow" has all the ingredients that will make it a great read. Once the subject of sex, violence, intrigue, mystery, political/religious upheaval, and even a bit of magic are got out of the way, it leaves the road clear to witness and experience the undying love which exists between two people. Because of the polarities that exist in a physical world, there are always the opposing forces that prevent our two heroes from reaching their goal.

As a consequence of this, the pair find themselves, alongside their faithful animal companion, in The Meadow, a celestial watering hole where souls with unfinished earthly business, go to rest before deciding on their next plans to incarnate and move along life's rich path to glory and happiness.

This is a tale that will appeal to young and not so young adults and will help to stimulate your thought patterns as you consider that there could well be other things to life that you had not yet considered. Please help spread the word about "The Meadow" as you consider and digest the many blogs that will follow this introduction.

My writing partner is Elfreda Pretorius and, would you believe, we never met until the book had been completed. How it all started is a long story and I shall be explaining all of this in detail as I progress. Watch out for The Meadow.

The picture to the right is a place similar to where the adventure begins in "The Meadow". It is also the place where our monk lives. He is called Chong-ba.

A lot of the story is featured in Steve's (our Professor) village called Elwick. A very famous transaction takes place at the local pub, The Spotted Cow. Here you can see Elfreda stood outside the actual place.

The Meadow novel

A story of undying love over thousands of years through many different lives

A novel written with a message for the modern world. It's time to start realizing that there is more to life than what our five physical senses relay to us. Release your conditioned mind and understand that life is eternal, whether it be in the mind, the soul or the body. Life goes on regardless, and we follow it every step of the way.

See how Google grabs on related words and phrases. In time these should bring us towards other stories and blogs that will prevent this page from spamming.

This story illustrates how life can be truly eternal when love carries two souls through many lives

Past lives or reincarnation can either be a buzz word or one that upsets those of a religious belief that contradicts their philosophy. From a logical point of view, it is the opinion of both authors that all lessons can not be learnt in just one earthly life time. "The Meadow" and its storyline is based around this concept. I hope to see this feed search improve each time a new group is found until I see "The Meadow" being illustrated each time.

Watch out for my personal avatar

The Phoenix rising from the ashes combined with an outline of a female's head

In 1986 I was under a great deal of stress. My mother was dying of cancer and I was undergoing horrendous business relationships with my equal partner.

My mother died, coinciding with my decision to go it alone and break the partnership and form a new business.

I commemorated this by designing this emblem/logo in memory of my late mother and in recognition of a new start in business.

It has remained with me ever since and has accompanied many articles that I have written, as well as being the company logo that accompanied all business administration.

A little girl picking up a baby sparrow

"Sparrow in my hand" is the personal Avatar of my writing partner, Elfreda. Drawn by her son,
.
it commemorates a turning point in her life when that same son, at the age of seven, overcame life threatening injuries sustained in an accident.
.
This is his vision of his mother as a little girl, wondering how to save a baby sparrow that fell from its nest - the same way she wondered how to help him survive all those years ago.
.
"Sparrow in my hand" is the book of his healing they intend to write in the near future.
