Welcome Udeme!
About Beyond the
Veil…
“In the
kingdom of Sapienland, after a series of grave disasters, the land is in a
state of chaos and desolation. Even the least-philosophical soul is drawn into
philosophical quests and rueful reflections. A mountain of mysteries envelops
all minds, as they start questioning the fundamental verities of humanity. If
they must understand the cryptic realities that surround their existence, they
need to transcend the realm of appearance and empty speculations and behold
reality as it truly is.”
What was
your motivation to write 'Beyond the Veil'?
Beyond the Veil, as an idea, came to me as a
result of the many delusional veils that surround reality, which, having
blinded the eyes of many, have led to several controversies, debates, contrary
creeds and some pretty absurd theories that overwhelms the world today. I have
always believed that truth is One, and even logic proposes the same; one thing
can't be true and false at the same time. As such, I thought of it, that
perhaps, a veil has covered a greater part of reality, thereby leading to delusions
and false cognition; I also reasoned that if we can look beyond this veil,
perhaps, the greatest questions of humanity, that has troubled minds for ages,
can be understood. Due to my penchant for literature, I decided to turn the
conversations into a work of fiction.
What is
the premise for 'Beyond the Veil'?
My
premise is this: that there is an absolute truth, and an ultimate purpose for
the existence of humankind. It is left for us, then, to dig deeper to know this
absolute, ultimate reality.
Who are
the main characters?
Theophilus;
he is the one who plays the role of the author, the one with the sheer truth;
Gordon, the king of Sapienland, where the entire discourse takes place. There
is also Cognac, (from Cognition) the philosophical soul who frequently refutes
and debates.
Who is
your target audience?
Men of
reason, those who like literary works that reflect life's deepest questions--those who
are willing to know and cleave to truth.
Who is
your favorite author?
I should
say Ralph Emerson. His writings inspire me so much. In the world of fiction,
Paul Coelho is my favorite author for now.
....favorite
philosopher?
Blaise
Pascal
Where is
your favorite place on Earth?
Queensland,
Australia. The serenity, the liberality of its people, the awesome
vegetation--they are simply amazing!
What is
your most prized possession?
My
writings, especially the first draft. I believe they hold the entire
inspiration of the work in its crude, yet sublime, form. I may edit, and even
publish; but the first scribbles, no matter how feeble they appear, are of
utmost importance to me.
Do you
believe in Heaven?
Yes, I
believe in heaven as I believe in earth. I don't just believe; I know, and
perceive that there is a place called heaven, or a heaven in the form of a
place. The Bible says there is heaven, and I believe the Bible. Heaven is a
place of reward, and since I believe in eternity, and in rewards, I believe in
eternal reward. It might not necessarily be because of our good works, but
because of God's unmerited grace which eventually leads to unmerited, endless
reward; hence, heaven.
What are
you currently writing?
A single
novel about the need to transcend the hurdles of life and achieve one's biggest
dreams. The idea has been in me for a long time, but I commenced the writing
the day Beyond the Veil was published.
Do you
write poetry?
I do
write poetry but not at the "public" level; I may concentrate on
poetry in the future, but for now, my attention is fully on prose. However, I
reflect my fondness for poetry in my novels, sometimes allowing the characters
to speak or sing poetic lines.
