Progressing
through some 126 cycles of essayistic aphorisms/aphoristic essays, Eternal Life ... brings my philosophy to a theosophical head in what is arguably
one of the most thematically rigorous of all my works and one which, so I
believe, should stand near the conceptual apex of my oeuvre, as I both sum up and elaborate on and/or revaluate previous truths
with a view to advancing the cause of eternal life in a world which is still,
alas, all too temporal! � So I wrote shortly after completing it in 1995;
although my oeuvre was to embrace another sixty or so works and far outstrip
much of the material gathered together here, in what I took, at the time, to be
a pretty conclusive work! � John O�Loughlin.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
�
John O�Loughlin was born in Salthill, Galway, the Republic
of Ireland,
of mixed Irish- and British-born parents in 1952. Following a parental split partly due to his mother's Aldershot origins (her father had served in the British Army),
he was brought to England by his mother and grandmother (who upon the death of her husband had initially returned to Ireland after a lengthy marital absence) in the mid-50s and, having had the benefit of private tuition from a Catholic priest, subsequently attended St. Joseph's and St. George's schools in
Aldershot, Hants, and, with an enforced change of
denomination from Catholic to Protestant in consequence of having been put into a children's home
by his mother upon the death and repatriation of his grandmother, he went on to attend first Barrow Hedges Primary School in Carshalton Beeches, Surrey, and then Carshalton High School for Boys. Upon leaving the latter in pre-GCSE era 1970 with an
assortment of CSEs
(Certificate of Secondary Education) and GCEs
(General Certificate of Education), including history and music, he moved to London and went on, via two short-lived
jobs, to work at the Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music in Bedford
Square WC1, where he eventually became responsible for booking examination venues throughout Britain and Ireland.
After a brief flirtation with further education at Redhill Technical College back in Surrey, he returned to his former job in the West End
but, due to a combination of personal factors, left the ABRSM in 1976 and began to pursue a literary vocation which,
despite a brief spell as a computer and office-skills tutor at Hornsey Management Agency within the local YMCA in the late '80s and
early '90s, he has steadfastly continued with ever since. His novels include Changing Worlds (1976), An Interview
Reviewed (1979), Secret
Exchanges (1980), Sublimated
Relations (1981), and Deceptive
Motives (1981). Since the mid-80s Mr O'Loughlin has dedicated himself almost exclusively to
philosophy, which he regards as his true literary vocation, and has penned several titles of a
philosophical nature, including Devil and
God (1985�6), Towards
the Supernoumenon (1987), Elemental Spectra (1988�9), Philosophical Truth (1991�2) and,
more recently, The Best
of All Possible Worlds (2008), The Centre of Truth
(2009), Insane but not Mad (2011) and Philosophic Flights of Poetic Fancy (2012).
