MY BOOKS

 

Please see below for details on each of my books. 

I have made the choice of making my books available exclusively as e-books as I believe this is the most sustainable way of making books without impacting our natural environment. Chemical use in paper manufacturing, and waste from the paper production process, causes severe harm to our water systems, aquatic life, the food chain, and also has widespread health impacts on humans. Chemicals used in printing and book manufacturing (inks, lacquers, adhesives, cleaning solvents, and many others) cause health impacts for people and the environment. Supply of printed books across the world often requires extensive travel, which uses fossil fuels and produces carbon emissions, causing environmental damage.

Sharing knowledge is important and must be done in ways that protect and regenerate our natural environment.

Cursed by the Gods – Deconstructing Genesis Vol 1
Author: Michael Beaton

An investigation into the Biblical book of Genesis to uncover the misleading dogma of monotheism from an exclusive and biased cultural history

For centuries we have been misled into believing that the Biblical book of Genesis is the infallible and incontestable "word of god". The entire story in Genesis is constructed to make humans look like sinners who fell from "god's grace" to deserve a curse of hardship and mortality for all eternity. The notion of "one god" in Genesis is a fraud.

Using evidence from a variety of ancient sacred texts (including the Bible), as well as from mainstream archaeology and scientific research, the author deconstructs the book of Genesis to reveal many things including the creation of humans through genetic engineering by multiple beings (not God), the habitation of earth in antiquity by advanced beings, the existence of aircraft in antiquity, wars between "gods" to dominate and control parts of the human race, and more.

This is not science fiction or "fringe theory", it's real history that is slowly being backed by findings from archaeology, anthropology, history, and science. It's time for humans to see the truth.

Finding Light – Photography for Wellbeing of the Mind and Soul
Author: Michael Beaton

An exploration on improving wellbeing through photography 

Life. What makes it stick in our memory? Are we filled with moments we want to remember or ones we’d rather forget? What impact does that have on our mind and soul? 

In this book the author offers an intimate look into life-defining moments; some that can seemingly crush us, and others that can uplift us. The author reflects on how our thoughts, feelings, and actions can influence the perceptions, reactions and outcomes we get from life, and how that “full dynamic” can impact our mental and spiritual wellbeing. Through over 100 full-colour images covering a period of over 30 years, the author shows how photographing moments of beauty can fill us with light and compel us to find more. Photography is a quest for personal improvement that brings us closer to the natural beauty of this world – looking at life from uncommon angles can help us find appreciation for the simple, beautiful, and meaningful, and empower us to heal and protect our mind and soul from the madness of this world. 

This book is about creating a journey that can change our relationship with the environment around us and our perception of who we are in that environment.

Transcendence – A Search for Meaning and Hope
Author: Michael Beaton

An investigation into the foundations of Western spiritual belief

What if we had to reconsider everything we have ever been taught about our spirituality? What if our spiritual history had been translated and interpreted with a particular bias; edited, censored, concealed, and even destroyed to the point where the truth had become hidden from us? What would that do to our spiritual faith? More importantly, what would happen to our faith if we discovered the truth? 

Using evidence from a variety of ancient sacred texts (including the Bible), the author explores complex questions and some possible answers to deconstruct what has been promoted for millennia as the truth about humanity and its spirituality. 

The aim of this book is to help us rediscover our spirituality to better understand the world we live in and how we might prepare for our departure when the time comes.

Religious or Spiritual?

Image
There is confusion between religion and spirituality, and the many different definitions on what each might mean serve to confuse things even more. Both religion and spirituality typically relate humans to a higher purpose or being, commonly termed God. However, religion and spirituality are vastly different when it comes to how humans exercise their relationship to and with God. Religion is a dogmatic political system of affiliation that governs how followers of that system should conform to practices for the glorification and worship of deities and symbols for those deities. In religion, people are subjects of a worshipful establishment. Religion promotes a “brand” for the various types of affiliation (e.g. Christian; Jew; Muslim; etc.). Religion promotes loyalty to a particular dogma and its brand. For this reason religion can be divisive. Spirituality is impartial in terms of religion – it does not align to a particular set of dogmatic politics or brand of religious worship. In spi...

Knowing Gnosis

Image
This world loves labels. For some reason we relate to and understand the world when it is neatly divided into labels. To many, I am labelled a Christian. If that is because I believe Jesus Christ existed and brought an important message to humanity, then, yes, I am a Christian. If it’s because, in my past I attended church regularly, then, no, that is incorrect. Church attendance does not make me Christian. If you really want to label me, please call me a Gnostic. That still makes me Christian because I believe in Jesus Christ, but it also makes me much more. Before we continue, please know that I am not indoctrinated as a Gnostic – no body (like a church) has ordained me in formal ceremony (like baptism or confirmation) to be a Gnostic. I am a Gnostic because I personally choose it in the continuous pursuit of enlightenment (which I have yet to fully attain). As I wear the label “Gnostic”, I must establish a definition so that others can understand what I am. To me this is very amusin...

Foundations of Faith

Image
  History reflects the ideology of the dominant / ruling class. Actually, let me clarify this statement a little: history reflects the ideology of the governing instrument / institutions of the ruling class. The dominant element of society, which is quite often a minority across the entire population, supports and perpetuates the ideology of the ruling class. Basically the ruling elite maintain their power from the mass-support of a select group of common folk. So, what does any of this have to do with spirituality and faith? Ask yourself: what is the basis of my spiritual belief? If, for example, it is something like the dogma of the Catholic Church, or the fundamentalism of the Islamic religion, then you are subject to the dominant ideology I have spoken about above. Perhaps you should further ask: what is the truth behind my spiritual faith? Perhaps even: what is faith? To get to the root of true spiritual faith we must transcend doctrines established by the dominant / ruling cl...
