Still a student at SCSU, and continuing to formulate his own philosophy of coherence and objectivity, Coppedge struggled with concepts of radical subjectivity, and was inspired by Zen Buddhism, Epicurus, and his own investigations into bold abstract art. The result was one continuous text, written with the purpose of capturing a new, elusive religion. The notebook, which spanned several years of deep inner-searching, took the form of a spiritual journal. In it are contained thoughts summarizing Coppedge's revolutionary religious perspective. This updated edition features a revised introduction and eclectic notes, including several expansions on The Metaphysical Art.
