Why is so difficult to turn those words into sentences to express the ideas we are trying to convey? Does your mind go blank when you begin writing? When I first started writing for my online business a year ago, I found it quite challenging. As I sit in front of my computer and read the sentence I just wrote, I find myself deleting it, either because I don't like the sound or it doesn't look right, not knowing how to re-write ...

And so I did. Now, to my surprise, the writings have turned into four novels (so far) that I decided to call the Elysium’s Passage series. You may also read the first part of the back story regarding the inception of ...

Two Thousand and Eighty Fourby Roger Moisan (Read chapters 1-3) Chapter 4 The New Threat Lord Harrington winced as the 747 touched down at Heathrow Airport. The psychologically induced pain he suffered was still with him as 300 tons of aircraft met the tarmac runway. Forced to endure the pain of a caburn assault in that log cabin in the heart of the Monte Rio redwoods, Harrington’s heart had stopped several times, only to be revived again and again to suffer further excruciating agony. ...

What greater evidence could there be for miracles than the invisible subatomic world, the substratum for our supposed material reality.  The topic of miracles is both fascinating and challenging since it goes contrary to our secular Western culture that tends to dismiss anything that claims to transcend materialist presuppositions. The orientation is: I'll believe it when I see it, rather than I ...

And so the Elysium Passage book series is about ...

I’m a lecturer in the Department of Philosophy at one of the universities in London, England.

This narrative begins with a most unusual allegory that came to me in an intensive dream one night which, as it turned out, would foreshadow the direction of my future life. The symbolic nature of the objects and environments I encountered reminded me of the allegorical meanings I read of in Pilgrim's Progress. My dream experience had a similar quality to it: the most provocative interpretative expression of my life up to that point, including ...

Two Thousand and Eighty Fourby Roger Moisan (Read Chapter 1) Chapter 2. Bohemian Grove This year at Bohemian Grove, Lord Harrington would have a lot of explaining to do. Why had he allowed this situation with one of his servants to get so out of hand, almost to the point of exposure? Yes, Harrington had cleaned up but there were still loose ends. Simon Hayne for one. Why had this long standing and loyal servant allowed the boy to take his own life rather ...

Two Thousand and Eighty Fourby Roger Moisan Prologue. The world as we knew it did end but not in the way mankind expected, imagined or prophesied. The Book of Revelations was wrong on every count and subsequently proved to be nothing more than a hoax formulated by those who sought to control us many thousands of years ago. Indeed, the religious dogma of all faiths was a massive smokescreen proliferated by the same elite families which now reside in a hell of their own imagining. ...

Albert Einstein said "Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance You Must Keep Moving" and who am I to argue with him - or that!  On the other side of the spectrum we have Winnie the Pooh saying "People say nothing is impossible but I do nothing every day".  We just have to love this bear.  Reality is though, Winnie the Pooh does follow the "You Must Keep Moving" maxim, if not, we would not know and love our Pooh ...
