The Secret of the Universe and Man's place in it – The Truth according to Brian!
By Brian Walker, Cosmogonologist, Sri Lanka, 2005
When I was requested to review the e-Book version of On the Square plus One by Byron Warbash I was introduced to a fine work in four parts that contained the saga of Brian's ongoing mission to disseminate a refreshing new philosophy and creation myth to a world presently held hostage to its ethnically fragmented past, without getting himself persecuted in the process. It was radical and profound. And making it even more intriguing was an important disclaimer that read as follows:
The content of On the Square plus One represents the actual personal experiences, ideas, radical recommendations and considered opinion of the author. Although it is meant to be thought-provoking and a sincere effort to make this troubled world by means of sensible changes a better place in which future generations might live together in harmony without fear or favour, it is likely to offend people with vested interests in entrenched traditionalism. For this reason the author is hereby obligated to declare that any person not wanting his/her existing beliefs and/or mode of life to be influenced in any way by the revelationary and revolutionary content of this book should not attempt to purchase and/or by any other means read it. Any reliance placed by a purchaser and/or reader on the content of this book will be deemed a reliance accepted at his/her sole responsibility and volition. The author accepts no responsibility for any lack of understanding of this important disclaimer clause.
Confronted with such a powerful statement, I considered that rather than deter potential purchasers it could only tactically serve to whet inquisitive appetites and tempt readers into learning just what fearful secret the content had to offer, regardless of the dire effect it might have on their otherwise stereotyped traditional existences. And, having been commissioned to review the content, I had no option but to cast caution to the wind, ignore the enigmatic disclaimer, read all four-parts, and get acquainted with what I finally concluded to be a whimsical, yet haunting and thought-provoking avant-garde mythological representation of evolving universal intelligence and the important role man is hopefully destined to play in bringing it to fruition.
