This book of aphoristic philosophy, divided into four evenly-structured parts, takes a closer look at such age-old questions as to whether mind precedes matter or matter mind and answers them in a way that does equal justice to both, as well as throwing new light upon the religious distinction between 'the Father' and 'the Son' which amounts to a complete rejection of the author's previous standpoint and a reappraisal of their respective standings on the basis of a logically incontrovertible insight such that he had been building towards all along, not least in relation to the dissimilar ratios and levels of significance attaching to soma and psyche according to gender. It is 'Alpha and Omega' above all other books to-date by John O'Loughlin that, when the contents of all four parts have been taken into account and their conclusions carefully analysed, will expose the humbug of conventional wisdom and morally challenge all who would stand in the way of evolutionary progress and seek to undermine that very sharp distinction, as the author understands it, between right and wrong, honesty and cowardice, sincerity and hypocrisy, truth and lies.
