Looking for Practical Metaphysics? Everything's been moved here.

Update 2009-11-03

The PDF and image below have been updated to match the latest files from lulu.com. The format is no longer A4, but book format, about 154mm x 230mm. Perhaps not ideal for printing on your home printer, but if you want a printed version you can always buy one (hint, hint) :) I will post the link for that purpose as soon as it's available.

BOOK DONE!!!

Hard to believe, I know! I myself wondered if this day would ever come.

Practical Metaphysics by Shaun Moss

The printed version will be available from lulu.com in a couple weeks (UPDATE - should be this week!), after they've formatted it, organised the ISBN and so forth. I will post the availability date as soon as I know. The lulu.com print quality is excellent and I will probably charge around $30 for the printed version. The ebook is basically advertising for the printed version, so if you like it, please send copies (or links) to all your friends!

Practical Metaphysics combines science, spirituality and success principles. It provides a scientific understanding of God, along with strategies for achieving goals and finding happiness. The book is about 47,000 words. I wrote it between March and September 2009, although I've been researching the material for 13 years.

Enjoy!

Update 2009-09-14

Book: I've taken the free book chapters down, because they are now fairly out-of-date and the book will be coming out in a couple of weeks anyway (although I've said that so many times now I question the accuracy of this estimate!) I really do think it's almost done though.

New links: I have a new blog, check it out, especially this article about the Earth Rehabilitation Program. Yes, I have also adopted twitter, with the handle shaunmoss71. I've also created a twitter account for moonmars, but it's fairly quiet at present.

New presentations: On the weekend I created two new presentations atBarCampMelbourne. A 30-minute one calledColonisation of the Moon and Mars, and a 10-minute one about the Global Tree-Planting Program.

Update 2009-03-23

New essay:Call for a Global Space Revolution. Looks like this will probably be published in the Moon Miner's Manifesto (Moon Society) and The Mars Quarterly (Mars Society). Hooray!

ALSO: You can now sign up for announcements at moonmars.com. Feel free tocontact me if you want to join the development team or invest in this mind-bogglingly exciting space/web project.

Update 2008-11-02

I have just launched the Earthian Calendar! Possibly the best calendar ever designed for Earth. What do you think?

Enjoy :)
