Writing Nonfiction
by:
Roy E. Klienwachter
All of us are authors, and all of us have a book already written inside
us that necessarily to move out.
I believe that fiction is the easiest to write because none of what you write can, or necessarily to be verified and you are only limited by your imagination. On the different hand prose
requires verification of facts and the book commonly has references to the material that you have used. These facts can move from the documentation of others or your own. But the material is commonly taken as truth or fact and supported by the documents you have used.
Then there is the Grey area that I write about… Philosophy! Philosophy always appears as truth and it is always contentious because in truth, truth is an illusion. My truth is not yours, and yours is not being else's. Philosophy can always be argued from one's point of view and it is prose
from that observation. From the position of the different it may be fantasy or imagination.
In truth, philosophically speaking, fiction and prose
are the same, as several move from the imagination and are subject to one's interpretation and the ability to manifest one's thoughts into physical symbols that are evident by others.
The extraordinary thing just about fiction is that the events become probabilities in physical form at several level of consciousness and are nonfiction. If I think of a lying under a palm tree on a white sandy beach on a tropical ocean one early sunny morning, that thought becomes your thought and the probability exists that either one of us can experience it. It becomes a probability and only then necessarily to be experienced. All thoughts are the beginnings of any probability whether it is a sandy beach or Aliens offensive
the earth.
The distinction between fiction and prose
is determined by our ability to allow our imaginations to accept them.
The Bible and different Holy texts are considered to be nonfiction, and yet they are the texts that are the least likely to be verified. The pages in these texts wherever
written by many a several authors, sometimes hundreds of years after the facts, if they did in fact occur, and the stories were designated for inclusion by folk and organizations with an agenda. Many a of the stories in the Bible were created to demonstrate aspects of morality and societal behavior. Many a stories have been left out deliberately.
We generally accept these books as historical facts because we were told to, even as tho'
critical thinking and reason suggests otherwise. Facts, truth and imagination have been amalgamated into foggy pictures that transcend humanities ability to distinguish the difference, fueled by fear and ignorance. What is fiction, what is not?
We look to an imagined futurity and go back into the past to create it. Or we go back into the past to create a futurity book. The book the waits inside
you, is the futurity waiting to be created, it is already present in the moment and tho'
it is nonfiction, it wish be judged by others in the futurity as either.
Humanity has united
at several level of consciousness to accept things as truth, or "nonfiction," if it is inside
the realm of possibility or if there is a strong human desire, want or need to believe it.
We as a folk had a strong desire to fly to the moon and have done it, (maybe). We as a folk have strong desires to create new technology and we do it, and we believe in technology because we can see it working. These areas are not that Grey, because we want to believe. Predictions that we have ready-made hundreds or thousands of years ago are now evident in our experience and easy to accept. Most believe that technology can attain anything, from creating a sailing ship that moves past the chasm
waiting at the edge of the earth, to the space ship that flies through it.
It is the same imagination that creates physical objects or technology, which creates philosophy just about who and what we are.
There is a strong desire inside
humanity, or need to believe and accept that there is much to us than what we can see, taste, smell, feel or hear. We have captive away from our ability to experience the soul and the mind as different parts of ourselves. We consider these aspects of self as fictional or on the far side
reach and better left to the imagination of philosophers, priests and different self appointed experts. Most of us experience these aspects only once
we see just about them or attend presentations or Sunday services, as they are brought to our attention.
As one moves away from the philosophy of others and accepts their own truth as real and valid, then we are better able to accept all experiences, philosophies, and truths as truth. All probabilities and possibilities are valid and fully fledged at several level of consciousness. All fiction is prose
in the greater truth, and they are just human or physical conventions.
I write my Nonfiction, Fictional articles early Sunday morning before I go for breakfast. In the course of the two hours that it takes me to write a 1600 word article like this, I have my shower, get dressed, wash the dishes, take out the garbage and several different chores.
I do not give any thought to what I write about, and it just flows out of me naturally. Once
I sit down to the keyboard and monitor, my mind is blank and the harder I try to write something, the less the results. Most often I do not cognize what I am going to write just about before I start. I close my eyes for a few moments and try not to think just about anything.
I accepted long ago that what I have to say or write just about is valid, it has intention and meaning. No matter how far fetched the words or thought, I try not to interfere and just let it move out. The fear of being crazy, stupid or ignorant left me long ago once I allowed the words to move out. This article is philosophical (nonfiction) but it comes from a fictional thought process that I used to think was mine, it is not!
I encourage all those that move to me for guidance to just sit down and let it all out, no matter how outrageous, how feeble-minded or precocious
it may seem. No one has to see it, it doesn't have to be published, and you can tear it up once
you are finished. By sitting down and starting to write, you wish develop a process that works for you, you wish be all astonished at what you have bolted inside. Once
I do see several of my stuff, I wonder, "Wow," was that me, that's not bad! Did I write that?
If you have visited my web site at klienwachter.com and see my articles you wish remember that I have aforementioned many a times I write for myself 1st and that is my truth. I do not have a need for others to see my words. I have however move to terms with my ego that wishes to be recognized as an author. I speak from the spiritual part of myself that is not physical and I united
with my ego to allow it the freedom to publish and print these articles. We have ready-made peace and the ego understands that recognition my not move and that it is a probability that may or may not be experienced. On this we agree.
Spirit does itself best-known or physically fully fledged through the words that are recorded for the benefit of the ego.
You have thing
to say, and your thoughts need to be expressed in the physical earth and it is done in an infinite number of ways. Writing is just one way. But do not back down because you believe your writing is not valid or important. As well realize that it may not be accepted by others and cognize that it doesn't actually matter.
Write for yourself 1st and set your imagination free. Prose
is fiction finding expression and recognition in the physical world. It has no meaning except for the meaning given it by those who see the words.
