Alex J Morrey
Alex J. Morrey
was born in Leicestershire England in the
1930s.
After a childhood spent grappling with
illness and myopia, he entered professional
life as a carpenter and joiner apprentice,
and subsequently as an external student of
the University of London, where he earned a
bachelor's degree in physics and mathematics
via the Leicester College of Technology.
In the summer of 1959 Alex had what could be
described as a revelation from Reality which
became the basis of Where Angels Fear to
Tread, an upgrading which is available to
everyone.
In 1963, Alex and a colleague started a
successful business producing printed
circuit boards. By 1985, Alex was freed from
business and able to travel. He spent time
in Spain, abroad, and in the United States.
In 1993, he sojourned, now and again over
several years, with a close friend who was
an associate pastor at a church in Athens,
Georgia. The odd relationships between
congregation members provided Alex with new
insights into the nature of Christianity and
the quality known as charisma. In 2002,
these insights, coupled with his knowledge
of physics, culminated into the birth of an
idea that led to the writing of Where Angels
Fear to Tread.
The author presently makes his home in
Shanklin, on the Isle of Wight, UK.

PageOneLit.com: Where did you grow up and was reading
and writing a part of your life? Who were your earliest
influences and why?
Alex J. Morrey: I grew up in a small town in Leicester,
England, Market Harborough, during WWII. I was a sickly
child, and away from early schooling at least half the
time. Consequently, when I left school at the age of 14
years I could neither read nor write and had never heard
of physics. However, I was very able with practical
things, so I started my working life as a carpenter and
joiner apprentice. This developed a strong visual
imagination, which together with a much lower level of
'indoctrination' (education) at an early age, enabled me
to start thinking 'outside the box' in an integrated
fashion, although at the time I didn't realize this. My
mentor in those days was a very skilled master of all
trades who used to talk to me about astronomy, among
other things, but a grammar school pal gave me a book
entitled 'The Marvels and Mysteries of Science'. The
book was full of pictures, which I found really
fascinating. With the aid of this book I learned to read
and think about science. I was then, just after the war
ended, about 16 years old.
At that time, I decided to enroll as a part time student
of the Leicester College of Technology at the School of
Building to study for the City and Guilds trade
examination, a five year part-time course. My employer
allowed me a day a week leave from work. Also, I later
added several evening classes to the schedule. This
meant traveling back and forth to Leicester by train, a
distance of 15 miles. I was awarded the first collage
prize every year. I was very diligent in every area of
study and after five years I graduated with a City and
Guilds which coincided with my graduation as a fully
qualified Carpenter and Joiner. Meanwhile, I had become
fanatically interested in Physics and Astronomy. In the
final year of all this study, I added 5 basic level
subjects to my study schedule.
I remember, around that time, looking at an article in a
newspaper entitled "Scientists Find No Staircase to the
Stars." It was written by the then British Astronomer
Royal of the Royal Observatory at Greenwich, London,
England. I wrote to him and asked how I could become an
astronomer. He replied, "You will need a degree in
Science". Judging by my writing, he must have thought
that I was 5 years old, rather than sixteen. A degree in
Science? I had never heard of such a thing, so I
contrived to obtain one. By the time I did get to
university I was 10 years older that the other students
around me, but it didn't show or matter.
This commentary is just a tip of the iceberg, as it
were. In fact, I could write a whole book about my early
life and how it contributed to my development. More
recently, in studying my Carnegie ancestry I have come
to the highly probable conclusion that I am also a
descendent of the Lyell family. My third great grand
mother was the eldest sister of Sir Charles Lyell, who
is referred to as the father of modern geology. This is
not yet proven, but could easily be, as I know where all
those involved have been buried.
Due to the lower level of 'indoctrination' (education)
at an early age and the subsequent development of a
strong visual imagination, my mind was enabled to be
available for learning from Reality, thinking outside
the 'box'; the ultimate learning process. We could say
that Reality has been an important influence in my life,
but for a long time I didn't realize it.
PageOneLit.com: Why do
you write?
Alex J. Morrey: Because understanding from Reality
should be shared with all who will listen, in return it
provides the ultimate joy, not just for me but for all
those who do listen.
PageOneLit.com: In your new book, "Where Angels Fear to
Tread" you say, "This book was written in order to put
into perspective the relationship between science and
religion." Please explain.
Alex J. Morrey: This means being able to understand
natural events and so-called supernatural events, with
the same 'integrated' understanding; by understanding
the universe to be a universal belief within the
collective mind of humanity. For example, this new
understanding can explain the nature of the Earth's
gravitational field that seems to hold us onto the
Earth's surface, or how Jesus was able to walk on the
water of the Sea of Galilee.
In the first case 'all material objects' are 'pushed' on
the Earth's surface, within the 'shared' universal
belief, by the subliminal coercive interaction between
all the minds of humanity, with a force (weight)
according to the law of gravity, but without implying
the existence of a gravitational field. The universal
belief is perceived as the real world in which material
objects seem to be attracted to the Earth's surface by a
gravitational field of strength 'g'; the situation that
we are all used to.
In the second case, 'certain material objects' are
pushed onto the Earth's surface within the universal
belief with zero force (weight) by an enhanced coercive
interaction emanating from a mind living closer to
Reality that the other minds around it. This situation
is perceived in due course by all as a real zero 'g'
effect, making it possible for a 'material object' to be
'miraculously' placed on water without the object
sinking into the water as we would expect. This is
'charisma' in action. This kind of interaction can occur
because it can reduce the level of conflict within the
universal belief and produce what is perceived as a
social healing of some kind. The 'normal' coercive
interaction does not intercede in this case, as it
doesn't need to.
The coercive interaction between all the minds of
humanity not only engenders the reality of the world in
which we live, but also acts is a 'safety net' which
prevents humanity from destroying itself, by preventing
the level of conflict within the universal belief from
increasing, even if the reality it engenders currently
is a conflicting 'logical' system.
Again, the new understanding shows that the so-called
dark energy that fills the universe is the same that
empowers the coercive interaction between all the minds
of humanity, in the form of a perceptual consensus; the
power of creation. Creation takes on a very different
significance when we consider the universe to be a
consequence of belief, a relative reality and one of
many, in effect a dream-like world. A belief is like
software running in a computer; even computers believe
what they are 'taught.' The 'software' that constitutes
belief in a human mind is far more elaborate and
operates mostly below awareness level.
Even technological innovation and discovery are powered
by an enhanced coercive interaction but they are not
considered to be supernatural because conscious
understanding goes hand in hand with this kind of
creation.
PageOneLit.com: What is your definition of Religion? Of
Science?
Alex J. Morrey: Religion, like science, is an
understanding created by the human imagination, since
there is nothing substantial 'out there' to be
discovered. In the case of religion, the understanding
of God is fashioned on the second minded phenomenon, a
proxy interaction with Reality, an intermediary between
the spirit of Reality and man that becomes tainted by
human speculation; a mind 'virus'. Religion--any
religion--as well as science prevents the 'normal'
function of the human mind which is living in, or very
close to, Reality, in the spirit of Reality.
Science is an edifice based on axioms and pragmatism, a
fantasy dream-like world, even if it is perceived as
real. This kind of reality is a perceptual consensus
between all the minds of humanity as they are currently,
a reality that is a conflicting 'logical' system. What
makes Reality the 'truth' is its 'logical' integrity as
opposed to consensus.
PageOneLit.com: What is your personal definition of
"Reality"?
Alex J. Morrey: Reality is the total Real potential
collective mind of humanity, with each individual mind,
combining conscious and unconscious, being a
non-conflicting 'integrated' logical system within
itself, referred to as the Real self. Currently, each
individual 'real self' is continuously being upgraded
into its potential Real self, with a copy held outside
space and time, by the spirit of Reality, as Reality.
This means that Reality is continuously updated, with
its content engendered by humanity. Hence, we enjoy free
will but don't use it wisely. The Real self is what
Jesus of Nazareth referred to as the 'Son of Man' and is
also what Zen Buddhists refer to as 'Buddha'.
PageOneLit.com: In "Where Angels Fear to Tread" you say
that "When we migrate further away from Reality, the
dreams become more "hellish" and when we migrate nearer
to Reality, the dreams become more "heavenly". Explain.
Alex J. Morrey: The dreams that are referred to here are
the dream-like worlds (relative realities) through which
the ERS, the essence of the real self which some people
call the soul, journeys on its way 'upwards' to Reality,
as it migrates into from one reality to the next. The
migration process is perceived as the 'death' of the
'real self' by those remaining within each transient
relative reality; one life consisting of a series of
dream-like worlds which become more 'heavenly' as the
ERS migrates upwards. The ERS is the only Real entity
for each one of us although it isn't completely Real
until it does achieve Realty. Every ERS eventually does
achieve Reality even if it migrates into more 'hellish'
dream-like worlds for a while. This is because the
spirit of Reality is a loving, healing spirit that
speaks to no one but can heal everyone and every mind if
it is allowed to do so. In this, it is unlike those
apparently vindictive Gods fashioned by the
second-minded phenomenon, that cause conflicting
Religions in the first place.
PageOneLit.com: In "Where Angels Fear to Tread" you say
that you do not believe Jesus lived in Reality -
Explain.
Alex J. Morrey: Reality is outside space and time and it
is not possible to live in the space and time of reality
and outside space and time simultaneously. It is,
however, possible to live very close to Reality, in the
grace of Reality, so to speak. As I say in the book, any
mind living closer to Reality that the other minds
around it will automatically enhance the universal
belief closer to Reality. Such belief enhancement is
known as 'charisma'. The 'subliminal' enhancement will
be perceived in due course as a miraculous social
healing event, because nobody is aware that the
universal belief has been enhanced or even what that
means. This is the state in which Jesus was living when
he lived in reality; currently, Jesus does live in
Reality.
The Real self of Jesus, referred to as the Son of Man,
is a template for each individual human mind. This is
why Jesus can be referred to as the Savior of humanity
and a Son of God, an integral part of Reality, and why
we all become sons and daughters of God when we arrive
in, or very close to, Reality. Living in or very close
to Reality is less then a micro second away if we choose
to allow the spirit of Reality to upgrade our mind. This
amounts to the so-called second coming, because when we
upgrade toward Reality it changes not only us but also
the world in which we live.
PageOneLit.com: What do
you hope readers will learn/take with them after reading
"Where Angels Fear to Tread"?
Alex J. Morrey: I'm hoping that at least some of those
who read the book will realize that Reality is beyond
science, religion and politics and for all men and women
regardless of what they are involved in currently. It
gives each person his or her heart's desire, because it
reduces the level of conflict within a human mind to
zero.
PageOneLit.com: What did you learn from writing "Where
Angels Fear to Tread"?
Alex J. Morrey: Learning from Reality is a continual
process until our being in the form of the (ERS) gets to
live in Reality and becomes the Real self. It is a
healing process. When a mind starts to heal it thinks
differently, and this is where this kind of revelation
comes from. It amounts to a revelation in the spirit of
the new covenant relationship with (God), the spirit of
Reality which is what Christianity should be. When a
mind heals completely, it lives in the spirit of
Reality.
PageOneLit.com: What's next?
Alex J. Morrey: I'm currently attempting to write a
second, more concise, version of Where Angels Fear to
Tread which will be more scientific than the current
edition. In fact, I think more and more about living the
part I talk about in the book, if I could only muster
the courage. It seems to be very difficult to put one's
conscious understanding to one side when we've spent a
lifetime cultivating it, but our mind will never 'heal'
unless we do. As Jesus said, "Unless a 'man' forsake
everything he cannot be my disciple."
PageOneLit.com: What was the last book you read?
Alex J. Morrey: I don't like reading books very much,
but I would say that one of the books that I 'studied'
over a long period of time was the Zen Buddhism of no
Mind by Doctor D T Suzuki of Kyoto University. For many
years I also studied C S Lewis's book entitled Mere
Christianity. The last book that I read was A Purpose
for Living by Rick Warren.
PageOneLit.com: Do you have any hobbies? What are they?
How do they enhance your writing?
Alex J. Morrey: I have had many hobbies from astronomy
to flying light aircraft to traveling the world as a
passenger in large aircraft but they were all
unfulfilling. Hobbies are a distraction when we seek
Reality. My writing becomes enhanced by seeking Reality
with the mind as opposed to the intellect.
