The book is a collection of poems dealing with various themes, emotions and mental states, the overarching, unifying idea being duration. Time is the type of concept that can be either solid or malleable giving one the impression that time can be controlled in one way or another. There are lost times, wasted times and good times. Time is the one quantity that we know for sure to be limited, yet we never tire of wishing for more time. It is also the one idea that always reminds us of our finitude. The poems attempt to capture some of these moments.

The book is a meditation on the COVID-19 pandemic experienced by everyone in the world at some level or another. The main idea emphasized in the book is the fact that if one likes it or not, nature always has the last word. The poems try to address and highlight this perilously important and eternal lesson. This may be a hard lesson to accept for some, but nonetheless it should serve as a great reminder to all humanity that going against nature is never a very wise thing to do.

The book is a collection of poems dealing with various themes, emotions and mental states, the overarching, unifying idea being memory. Past memories tend to possess both sad and joyous aspects to them, but in the final analysis, they somehow always turn out to be more positive than not. The poems try to address and highlight some of these recollections and reminiscences.

This is the fourth volume of The Karma of Self where the same narrator addresses the issue of Karma as an Aesthetic endeavour. In The Karma of Self the narrator makes the following statement: "There is life before the appearance of the aesthetic and there is life after this realization. Once the realization takes place it cannot be put back in the bottle, as it were. One's relation with the world and with one's Self are completely and forever changed for the better." The present volume is an attempt to explain that initial assessment and a meditation on the results of the inquiry.

The book is intended as a thought-provoking meditation on the idea of the future. It asks questions about different aspects of the relationship between past, present and future, claiming that the connections between them may not be as clear cut as expected. It also touches upon the concept of time, which seems to influence the relationships between these three ideas, but which also complicates their seeming dependency on one another. It is also very concerned with the topic that the present might not actually exist. The rest of the book follows from this one intriguing assertion.

The book is a meditation on the idea of Love. There is a long, arduous ideational search that the main character undertakes, which takes him from the depths of the subconscious to the heights of heaven in order to find the true purpose of Love. He is aided in this search by a rather shadowy figure that seems to be someone he has been in love with for a very long time. He will eventually reach the conclusion that Love, when all is said and done, is really Love of the higher Self.

The book is a meditation on the ideas of the Ego, the Soul and the Higher Self and the differences between them. The narrator is a rather amorphous figure that can actually be anyone who has thought about these issues. There are no characters per sé, but as the novel evolves, night, darkness, the dreaming process, the mind, and thought become the main characters. The story is part of a very long, complex dream that the narrator seems to be going through as he makes his way to the realization that the Higher Self is the source of everything.

This is the second volume of The Karma of Self where the same narrator addresses the issue of the influence of emotions in one's existence. In The Karma of Self the narrator makes the following promise: "It occurred to him that perhaps he should make a list of all the strongest emotions he had experienced, and figure out which ones had been running his life without him being aware of it. Some of them came to mind right away, but he didn't want to act hastily in this situation since the results had the potential to be quite revealing." The present book is a fulfillment of that initial promise and a meditation on the results of this inquiry.
