ABOUT THE AUTHOR

 

John James O'Loughlin, to give him his full name, was born in Salthill, Galway City, the Republic of Ireland in 1952 to the son of Irish national schoolteachers and the daughter of a retired sergeant major in the British Army. Following a parental split due to various incompatibilities, his mother and grandmother (who had initially returned to Ireland after a lengthy absence with intent to stay, following the death of her Aldershot-based army husband) were obliged to return to England with him in the mid-50s, where he subsequently attended schools in Aldershot (Hants), Oakham (Rutland), Aldershot (again) and, following the death and repatriation of his Athenry-born grandmother, Carshalton Beeches (Surrey), where, despite an enforced change of denomination from Catholic to Protestant in consequence of having been put into care by his mother so that she could embark upon another marriage, he attended first Barrow Hedges Primary School (at Junior level) and then Carshalton High School for Boys, where he developed a taste for cricket and football. Upon leaving in 1970 with an assortment of CSEs (Certificate of Secondary Education) and GCEs (General Certificate of Education), including history and music, he was removed from the children's home by its authorities and placed with a hostel in Clapham, south London, which he endured for a week before getting his mother and stepfather, who happened to be a West Indian, to give him temporary lodgings at their flat on the Stroud Green Road in Finsbury Park, north London, from where he went on, via two short-lived jobs, one of them in a chemical warehouse in Balham, south London, that overlapped with his stay in the hostel, and the other in Ivor Mairants Musicentre on Rathbone Place in the West End, to work at the Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music in Bedford Square, where, after a period as a general clerk, he eventually became responsible, on promotion to clerical officer grade 1, for booking examination venues, having himself had experience of sitting for – and passing with merit - a grade 4 piano exam at the Royal College of Music while still at school. After a brief flirtation with the study of history at Redhill Technical College back in Surrey, where he was now living after moving out of his mother's flat early in the New Year (1971) first to a bedsitter in Sutton and then to a partitioned attic room in the house of an old school friend in Wallington and, subsequently for want of space in a family context, to a shared room in Merstham with this same friend, he returned to his former clerical job in the West End but, following an enforced move back to north London via his mother's flat in January 1974 and two years of mental torment in successive bedsits in Crouch End, retired from the ABRSM in 1976 due to a combination of factors, including ill-health, and proceeded to dedicate himself to a literary vocation which, despite a brief return to the ABRSM in 1977 and a fairly lengthy spell as an assistant computer tutor at Hornsey Management Agency (an affiliate of Hornsey YMCA) in the late 1980s and early '90s, during which time he acquired NVQs (National Vocational Qualifications) in word processing, written communications, and typewriting, he has effectively continued with ever since, irrespective of subsequent changes of address in Crouch End and Hornsey in what could only be described as bedsitter-like accommodation. His novels include Changing Worlds (1976), Cross-Purposes (1979), Thwarted Ambitions (1980), Sublimated Relations (1981), and Deceptive Motives (1982). From the mid-80s Mr O'Loughlin increasingly dedicated himself to philosophy, his true literary vocation, and has penned more than a hundred titles of a philosophical nature, including The Will to Truth (1983), Devil and God (1985-6), Towards the Supernoumenon (1987), Elemental Spectra (1988-9), Philosophical Truth (1991-2), Maximum Truth (1993), Eternal Life (1995), The Soul of Being (1998), Point Omega Point (2002), The Dialectics of Synthetic Attraction (2004), The Centre of Truth (2009) and, more recently, Musings of a Superfluous Man (2011). In addition to his long-standing commitment to literature, John O'Loughlin has also found time to indulge in abstract art and electronic music composition, principally with a view to illustrating or exemplifying his philosophy and therefore as an adjunct to his oeuvre proper. Although not perfect, these paintings and music compositions considerably enlarge the scope of his creativity and confirm a multimedia bias commensurate with his - and indeed the accepted - concept of the 'universal man', the godly individual whose creative abilities and predilections transcend any given form in what becomes a convergence towards an omega point of cultural universality. The internet would seem to be the ideal setting for such multimedia projects, confirming the justification of Centretruths regarding itself as a kind of multimedia platform for the launch of a variety of genres, including digital photography and video, that either reflect a metaphysical structure and inner essence or act as 'handmaidens' to such a structural essence from a subordinate standpoint - one that some would regard as embodying civility as opposed to culture, and without which there can be no higher culture.
