Lost in Space S.O.S Stories of Soul By the King of Karma I'm reading these words on Google, "In the depths of winter I finally learned that there was within me an invincible summer", by Albert Camus and I think can I use this quote in this way, casually and perhaps less than cautiously, without getting busted for copyright. It's a chance I'm willing to take. About the Author: The Author of this book is a bit of a nob, but so are you. Having managed to successfully screw, and be screwed by, countless relationships over the years while unsuccessfully managing several tedious hairdressing ventures he has found himself on his arse time and time again. Moving forward into personal disasters repeatedly, usually quite unexpectedly, but always with certain relish, he is a bit of a wide-boy with a largely unfounded reputation for drink and other recreational substances. Old Kingy Thingy admits to many of his failings readily and all too often unexpectedly, which is called bragging; usually blowing any chance of getting the phone number he is after. Shafted by countless other nobs over the years for his misplaced kindness and simplistic belief in humanity, he bears the scars of such naïve' and superstitious nonsense with relative humility, but then he does have quite a few priceless mates, fond memories of a thousand wicked bands, more than a few liaisons with very beautiful women and a shed-load of really great sex, mostly now history. Having been thrown out of a Buzzcocks gig at the legendary Ritz, at fifty-five years of age for being too loved up, and arrested for smoking weed on the legendary Curry Mile some weeks later, he realised, because everything is about realisation, that it was time to document his waning years and his passive rage against the very right-wing, overtly ignorant, relatively humourless, floundering machine, and, as a recently dumped love accessory, at quite some cost, he is also hoping to impress any, or even many, single, errant, tolerant and attractive females out there with his erratic but possibly brilliant theories-come-claims on good and evil, life and death, spiritual awareness and quite impressively deviant sexual tendencies. Having had as many jobs over the years as women, the Author realised everyone's need for therapy early but he was personally unable to afford it so he read many books on this condition, the human condition. Unsurprisingly, it was the one of the many weird and wonderful things he seemed to make sense of and as a very well-studied but pretty discreet theologian, occasional full-on and successful womaniser and impossible, almost controversial full time philosopher, this unrecognised intellect intends to sort out all religious confusion, folks terrible and primitive xenophobia, the suffering of all humanity and total peace on earth at a stroke, as he has got it sorted. Yup, it's true. Even a nob like Mark can work it out. Why can't you? Born into a pretty strange family and left to roam wild on the streets as a kid, Mark ended up in court at fourteen years of age on as many charges which as any good child councillor will tell you, was not entirely his own fault. Having escaped borstal by the skin of his teeth he was coerced, by a drunk, erratic Mother, into a posh private school commandeered by a drunk, erratic head. All hell broke loose. At fifteen, after several brutal canings from an obvious alcoholic, for nothing more than his errant creativity, setting off fire extinguishers and overt rebellion against boaters, which are really stupid hats that get you publicly persecuted quite a lot, Mark was expelled. Choosing hairdressing as a career was a stupid choice but one that got him laid a lot. It also kept him in work and gave him some insight into the human psyche, which scared the shite out of him. Most of his lovers, friends and enemies were mainly a bit neurotic, just like his Mother, who was actually very instrumental in saving......read more @ kingofkarma
About the Author: Who is the King of Karma? The King, or Queen, of Karma is anyone who finally realises their eternal destiny and then acts accordingly. That is all it takes to become a King or Queen. Ordination is easy. Anyone can be ordained by the Holy Spirit, who is, despite the doubts of family and friends, resident within and capable of conversation. There are of course terms and conditions as summarized in the New Testament and the Koran that need to be generally and very gently, lovingly, passively, broadly embraced, and expanded upon by anyone with the thoroughly modern enough brains to do so. This King of Karma is, despite his profound hedonistic tendencies and a bit of a temper at times, a theologian, a Christian mystic, a bit-of-a-Buddhist, an electronic evangelist, a spiritual sensitive, a psychic detective, an ire-religious anarchist come antagonist, a creative compulsive, a disciple of the holy trinity whether you like it or not, and a bit of a scally, into Tao, Judaism, Hindu and Islam, and quite possibly, almost certainly, the last, most unlikely prophet of the Christian God although I hope some-one will usurp me. His intention is to aggravate, remonstrate and believe it or not, like it or not, accept it or not, to educate which he is qualified to do as he gained a TEFL in Prague about fifteen years ago. Despite being a bit of a dick, he loves all his family dearly, would not harm a spider although he fears them which is slightly irrational, and wishes only for the enlightenment of humanity as it is of monumental importance to us all whether or not you agree. He has a near psychopathic dislike for boredom, religious institutionalism and religious fanaticism, double standards, the beheading of others, hanging, bankers, the 1% and all but two politicians, which is, I'm sure you will agree, at least in part, completely rational. He grows impatient with this duplicitous, fictional world and although this book is full of criticism, which could be criticised, it is in fact only a critique, which is, according to the dictionary, "A critical analysis or evaluation of a subject, situation or literary work". You see? This is his mission statement and he is fully able to accomplish it but it will be as left-field as his life. You have been warned. Bias, opinions, insults, discrimination and disbelief change nothing. This book is based on a truth you have possibly yet to realise completely or even at all......
