P.R.I.S.M: Primal Religious Instruction Serving Mankind (Book)
I present to you my book P.R.I.S.M: Primal Religious Instruction Serving Mankind. The paperback version of the book is currently available on Amazon (see links below).
After the coronavirus manifested in 2020, I decided to reflect on life, as I have always done, but from a different perspective. The lockdown afforded the opportunity to be more productive and finally accomplish certain objectives I hadn't the time to execute before the coronavirus outbreak.
During the past year, I have lost acquaintances, relatives and family. Those who are still alive, are not better than the dead. Death can befall anyone at anytime - it's no respecter of age, status or wealth. Certain events buttress the ephemerality of life.
Guaranteed, 100 years from now, everyone reading these words at this very moment, will be dead and gone! Therefore, bickering over if or when there's a judgement day, does not change the reality of death. Our primary concern should be when we die, because our death is literally our 'judgement day'.
Surely, there must be more to life than just living and then dying. The pursuit of life and happiness is hinged upon the reality of success being relative and subjective. At some point in life, we have to introspect and prioritise what is important.
PRISM tackles the knotty subjects of God and Religion from a universal perspective, and addresses issues rationally, via multiple angles. The project (book) addresses the agnostic, atheist, irreligious, etc. And addresses the religious, including the indigenous and traditional, the Abrahamic religions, and world religions generally.
Whatever your belief or self-acclaimed beliefs, everybody is entitled to their beliefs, and that right must be respected. No position or belief should be forced and extreme positions are antithetical to reason. If anyone decides to be critical of any position, the method should be grounded in intellectual endeavour and not based on sentimentality. Even if the project's revelations and postulations are unpalatable, the appropriate response is to counter with facts! After all, facts are sacred and the truth was never meant to be convenient.
The PRISM approach is academic, and pragmatic. My position is based on decades of research, and my transition from hedonist to rationalist, and from doubt to conviction.
And yes, it is very possible to be religious and rational - and of course be cool!
The project's objective is not to pamper or spoon-feed readers but to trigger introspection and rumination. Though for a general audience, PRISM falls under the non-fiction: religion and philosophy genre.
Philosophers of yore explored religion, which is the method adopted for the PRISM project. With so many inexplicable events occurring globally, the world may have no alternative but to look to religion for answers. Thank you.
And to the Muslims, Ramadan Mubarak to you all. Always strive to be a better version of you.
God Bless 🙏🏾
