| NEW RELEASE |
| |
|
In October, INHOUSEPRESS released a new novel:
ONE JUST MAN by Stan I.S. Law (Second edition, prequel to ELOHIM-Masters
and Minions), .
About the book:
After many years of demanding studies of medicine,
a Gift of Healing chooses to manifest itself through Dr. Peter
Thornton's unwilling hands. The new ability plays havoc with
his professional life. The Gift becomes an insidious curse as
it threatens to obliterate his promising career. He struggles
against his destiny, until a Will greater than his own takes
over.
|
| Action takes place in Montreal,
Poland and the Vatican. The novel is as much a page-turner as
it is a study of Human Potential. |

| In each Newsletter
we publish an essay or an article by Stan Law (a.k.a. Stanislaw
Kapuscinski) |
| |
| Today we invite you
to read XENOPHOBIA, essay #1, from Beyond Religion III |

|
And God created man unto his image and likeness.
We continue to do so. If our own creations veer from our likeness,
we call them retarded, stupid, maladjusted, or just ungrateful
brats who do not appreciate all that we have done for them. Just
look around. The streets are full of homeless kids with pierced
ears, noses, eyebrows and probably brains. They are the vagabonds,
looking for love in a beer-bottle, a needle, a reefer, or any
other quick fix. We, the parents, have created their environment.
We, the parents, repudiate any responsibility for their actions.
Just as they dothe squeegee kids.
They are different. They do not conform. They
are not in our image and likeness.
If Einstein had spawned you or me, the illustrious
entourage of egg-heads would probably regard our actions and
mental ability as dismal. Retarded. I have a friend who's child
is much less retarded in relations to him than we are in relation
to Einstein, yet the doleful father suffers because he regards
his progeny as not "normal". Little does he know that
"normal" means average, uninteresting, dull, one of
the masses. By wanting your child to be normal you sentence him/her
to mediocrity.
Xenophobia the fear of the different,
of that which is strange to us.
Ultimately, the fear of the unknown.

Recently, Stan I.S.
Law ventured into the realm of poetry, inspired by Bozena Happach's
sculptures.
In today Newsletter we publish A
Memory: |
| |
|
I saw her just once. A tremulous shadow of
my yesterdays
still lingers. Persistently. Or is it but a dream
of unfulfilled desire? Fragments of memories, petals,
floating forlorn, down life's winding stream.
Her step was as light as a morning's dew,
her smile as bright as the rising sun,
her touch was as gentle as the summer's breeze.
I really have no idea how it all began.
Alas 'tis folly, for I never touched her
other than with my thoughts. I would not defile
a dream. A fleeting illusionghostly apparition?
Yet memories of her continue to beguile
