Committal

Part Three of the “Unus Mundus” series, “Committal” tells how Jill (Jack Vallis) is transported to The New World, arrested, put on trial and committed to a lunatic asylum. To exploit her preternatural powers, Jill becomes an unwitting subject in Operation Cyclops, a CIA funded program into psychotronic warfare. Regressed in an isolation chamber, Jill enters a surreal world of infernal manifestations. Are these experiences real or part of an induced psychosis? As the past and present intertwine, Jill realises the only way to reclaim her body is to return to The Old World and solve the paradox..

When I was twelve, I got taken to see a Fool in a white coat. He tried to convince me that my female identity was the vain imagination of a distempered brain. The Fool began with what he called “reality testing” – my ability to distinguish between inner and outer stimuli, the accuracy of my perceptions and the interpretation of external events, including my orientation in time and space. Like all fools, he appeared very learned and clever. But he asked all the usual stupid questions…

The Mystic Marriage

Part Two of the “Unus Mundus” series, “The Mystic Marriage” tells how Maria Williams, a Minoress at the Monastery of Saint Clare, encounters evil forces, both within the priesthood and during a dark séance. After suffering a nervous breakdown, Maria seeks the help of Dr. Jung who attempts to sift through the contents of her psyche and cure her manic depression. Are her encounters real, or the symptoms of psychosis? Set in a parallel world of 1954, The Mystic Marriage combines a tale of legend, occult and sexual abuse within the Catholic church.

‘The sheep spends its entire life fearing the wolf, only to get eaten by the shepherd. I have known many conceited nuns like you. What will you do when the priest lifts your skirts and presses his lips upon your thigh?’

Ophannim

Ophannim now available in paperback on Amazon.

Part One of the “Unus Mundus” series, the “Ophannim” novella tells the otherworldly tale of how Alan Turing entered a time-slip whilst visiting Liverpool’s Bold Street in 1953. Invited to tea by his friend Jack Vallis, Turing is drawn into an occult world of psychic phenomena, where nothing is as it first appears.

Dear Alan,

The manifestations have increased in both power and frequency. Last night, a giant hand reached out from the portal and grasped me by the leg. The entity was the colour of purest alabaster, with a fine crystalline translucency. It seized the table, raised it into the vault, and then lowering it to the floor, pushed it into the shadows – a distance of at least six feet. By request, it seized my chair, and held me suspended for the space of nearly two minutes… The intelligent powers at the root of the phenomena have subjected me to considerable mental disturbance, although I can gain no insight into their true identity or purpose. Yet I am convinced that this new phase of materialization comes properly within the realm of scientific scrutiny…

The science of Spiritualism is the only reliable edifice to build upon. In my experience as a medium, I have found the spirits ever anxious and ready to give proof of their existence. But materialists remain reluctant and obstructive. Amongst men of science, I am nothing but a figure of ridicule. My latest paper on the æther, ‘Non-Lorentzian Geometry in Gravity and Anomalous Slips in Time,’ has been rejected by The Royal Society. The president debunked me as a dangerous fanatic, subject to extravagant delusions, which, in his “expert” opinion, constitute insanity. Yet I am determined to place my evidence before the world on a sound scientific basis. That is why I built TERGA – a machine for Trans-Dimensional Communication, or TDC for short.

I have satisfied myself that the Egyptians used a similar device in their initiations; in fact, the spirits have established this beyond question. The Royal Society has refused to let me demonstrate my machine in London, so I have decided to introduce it to the Masonic fraternity, here in Liverpool. Perhaps this is for the best, as only men pure in mind and body can control the device. I am sure the whiskey-soaked, tobacco-sodden professors at The Royal Society would only establish an atmosphere of fraud and trickery, to guide things in their direction. Most materialists are malicious, cunning men, who are capable of inflicting great harm on sensitives like me. However, you are noble man, whose mathematical turn of mind is both aesthetic and pure. Several times, I have seen a bright light shining above your head; and this phenomenon differs from any magnetic or so-called auric manifestation that I am more usually acquainted with. I am sure you would make a prime candidate for demonstrating TERGA. With this in mind, I invite you for tea on Friday, 17th April.

Your faithful friend,

Jack Vallis.

The Anti-Woke Thesaurus

ABOUT

A complete Anti-Woke Thesaurus for any web browser. This distribution was assembled by Nicholas Shea from the Project Gutenberg’#22 file ‘roget15a.txt’ (MICRA’s contributed eBook of Roget’s Thesaurus).

This is a work in progress, as I am checking the entire theasurus, *word for word* with Roget’s original 1911 edition. I aim to correct and improve about 6 heads per day. This work involves:

1. Rectiftying OCR errors.
2. Colouring words and phrases according to language.
3. Verifying, referencing and translating the existing phrases and quotations.
4. Enriching the text with additional phrases, quotations and passages in Latin, Dutch, Spanish, Danish, Portugese, French, etc.

The Anti Woke Thesaurus

In adding quotes, I have deliberately chosen passages that expose the corrupt ideologies and destructive dogmas of “wokeism” that now pervade much of academia and the media. (Students are burning Homer in Canada). Passages from the Classics, literature and philosophy add contextual depth and meaning, far more than the traditional grouping of words according to ideas. Quotations add colour and nuance, especially when juxtaposed and contrasted with one another in sequence. For example, the concept of “Evil” cannot really be grasped by consulting a traditional word list; but the testament of one who has experienced evil first-hand leads to a more profound understanding. Consequently, this version of Roget’s Thesaurus has evolved into a hybrid Quote-a-Thesaurus, where the meanings of words are further amplified and explicated by various opinions.

What is Wokeism?

Wokeism is tyranny, plain and simple. A woke individual is naught but a malignant self-deluded fanatic, who holds a furious hatred of any creed that contradicts their own dogmas. Under the guise of “kindness” and “respect”, the woke go out of their way to vilify, persecute, ostracize, and even physically harm anyone who voices heretical opinions. The woke future is neither politic nor correct. On the contrary, it is a despotic world of mob-rule that marries totalitarian technocracy with barbaric delinquency; a world of caustic falsehoods, where the intellect is lobotomised to serve the vested interests of abolitionists and militant Marxists. Wokeism, first taught in universities by corrupt academics, has now infested the entire education system; it is a narcissistic psyops, fuelled by the herd-frenzy of social media, and its doctrines have been adopted by most mainstream institutions, including Hollywood and the BBC. Wokeism professes respect for an individual’s personal experience. But don’t be fooled: there is nothing decent or respectable about wokeism. Beneath its glossy but flimsy surface, is an atheist cess-pit, teeming with pomp and high-larceny; a world of divide-and-rule, where race, sexuality and culture are weaponised to gain power and suppress freedom of speech. Wokeism is a hypocritical movement of base passions, vanity, pride and greed, where all that is civil, moderate, decent and holy, is sacrificed upon the altar of purblind individualism. But more than this, wokeism is the Trojan horse, by which our precious democratic freedoms, (freedoms which previous generations fought and died for), are being razed to the ground in a series of societal convulsions. As these upheavals ripple through the strata of society, they usher in the deadly “New Normal” of global socialism. Wokeism is nothing less than the rout of western civilization.

DETAILS

The thesaurus has been divided into individual HTML head files. Each head has a navigation panel at the top with links to‘previous’ and ‘next’ entries, as well as links to the Class breakdown and Index. This is a substantial improvement over a single body file and allows for further hierarchical structuring. Further, all Head numbers within the body text are linked to their respective head files.

The index was assembled from the Project Gutenberg file ‘10681-h-index-pos.’ This file was so vast that it took over 40 seconds to load in a browser. So the index has been divided into separate files, (A.html to Z.html), and the broken links have been corrected.

The ‘heads’ directory contains all heads extracted from the body as HTML files. All heads are linked. Navigate to the previous and next Heads using the Navigation panel.

The ‘index’ directory contains the entire index split alphabetically into separate HTML files. The original index was over 9.0MB and took a long time to load; it also had many link errors which have been fixed.

OBSOLETE WORDS

Words marked with a superscript dagger are considered obsolete (although what is considered obsolete is often a matter of conjecture or context). For example, these words are considered obsolete: unhoused†, unharbored†. Words considered archaic are marked with a superscript double dagger. For example, saturity‡.

GENERATOR PROGRAM

The ‘generator’ directory contains a small program called ‘roget’ with the source code. This program will parse the custom file ‘roget15a_my_markup.txt’, apply HTML styles and generate the head and index files; the program also generates links and navigation entries for each head. If you wish to rebuild the program, please consult the file ‘ReadMe.txt’ in the generator directory. IMPORTANT: I have spent hundreds of hours correcting the original OCR text from the Project Gutenberg text file, which had corrupted/omitted many accented characters. The file ‘roget15a_my_markup.txt’ is in UTF8 format. Do not change the codepage, or the accented characters will be lost. All the index files are also in UTF8 format and should not be tampered with.

The functions in MakeLinks.cpp were coded specifically for my custom file ‘roget15a_my_markup.txt’. Much of the code was a KLUDGE to get my HTML thesaurus up and running. Makelinks.cpp was never intended for general release and is included only for the curious.

Note: the ‘generator’ has been removed from the current distribution but is still available on my Roget’s Thesaurus Sourceforge page.

NOTE

Some accented characters have suffered from the original Project Gutenberg OCR translation; the characters are either corrupt or missing entirely. Correcting these errors is an ongoing process that takes a great deal of time and effort. New versions are uploaded when available. Corrections and improvements are listed in the version history.

RANT

It beggars belief that people believe they can simply scan a book, then use Optical Character Recognition to convert that book into editable text without incurring errors. What is worse, they never check for these errors. Mathematical texts suffer very badly in this regard, with formulae rendered completely senseless and unreadable. (Often the original scans are very poor indeed). Ironically, the scanning of books is supposed to preserve them for future generations. However, without due diligence, the end result is not a preservation, but rather an erosion of our cultural heritage.

Released on 01 SEP 2021

Heads 1 to 100
Verified, referenced and appended Phrases, Proverbs and Quotations in various
languages. This is no small task as the existing quotes and phrases in the
Project Gutenberg file ‘Roget15a.txt’ are not referenced; sometimes the author
of the quote is given, but the work from which the quote is taken is not; so all
these must be traced down to the original source, and then if needs be corrected
and referenced in full. Note that the 1911 edition has very few Phrases or quotes
and most of the ones given in ‘Roget15a.txt’ have been added by third parties.
I have greatly exended the Phrase section, providing numerous additional sources
that are useful to me personally, and will hopefully be so for others. With all
this in mind, I have restyled the thesaurus body and put the Phrase section in
its own bordered division.

Appending phrases and quotations is an ongoing process, so whilst the body has
been corrected to Head 450, quotes are still being added to as yet uncorrected
heads beyond 450. For example, Head 790 Restitution.

Extended colouring scheme for Danish, Dutch and Portugese.

There are simply too many specific changes, corrections and additions to list in
this file.

This is probably the last upload before I finish the entire thesaurus, sometime
