General Information

 

I am Benjamin Huot from Eugene, Oregon (United States). I am a disabled veteran and I have Paranoid Schizophrenia. I am born again but my political views are very far left - I am very interested in helping with animal rights and poverty.

 

I have 4 websites, with almost 12,600 files, totaling about 2.25 GB of data, over 602 original photos, 353 original drawings, 20 cross-stitch patterns, 22 original animations, 25 original audio readings, 10 original songs, 15 interactive widgets, and 2 original fonts on my websites. The estimated retail value of the content, including text books and graphics, I offer at my website for no cost is about $2,866 for each copy of my work.

Interests and Focus

I have a wide variety of interests which cross over in a variety of ways, but I now see my role as that of a researcher and writer for consumer/citizen advocacy based on: my readings in the humanities (philosophy, religion, history, literature, and art); my experiences in total situations (like being in the military, the mental ward of a private hospital, a mental health group home, and a retirement home); my creations of books, websites and more with design software on a budget; and my understanding of disaster survival methods. I study these things and figure them out on my own and then document what I have learned for the benefit of the average person. You will see that the focus of my books is to first explain the principal causes of the major problems in the world today and second how to use creativity to find ways to help out despite our lack of power over whether the world decides to attempt to fix these problems.

 

My philosophy books are the basis for my entire work which, in turn, came out of my experiences in the military and as a person with Schizophrenia. But my interest in philosophy is is so great because I see philosophy as so obviously practical. Eastern religions and philosophies help me understand myself better and improve my interactions with the rest of the world.

 

The rest of my interests can be seen as applications of my theories: explaining my psychological experiences, sharing my intellectual discoveries, documenting my use of budget Apple and open source software, giving away my artwork, and helping others survive disasters. My artwork is a visual display of my philosophy, the technology I used to create all of this is a reflection of the values and methods of my philosophy, and the conclusion to my books is to prepare ourselves for the future and to make the most out of our situation.

Books I have Authored

 

Over the past 12 years I have been reading 256 mostly classical texts in religion, philosophy, literature, and history of the old world. I have then written poetry and essays based on my studies, my beliefs, and my personal experiences. I have authored 50 books total.

 

I have just self-published 25 text books based on this material and developed my own philosophy. I also have created 8 picture books, 6 of which are illustrations I drew based on my understandings of major world beliefs and the other 2 on some of my photography.

 

In addition, I also wrote 6 topical and reference books: a book on most of my introductions, psychological experiences, a book on most of my intellectual discoveries, a book on most of the Bible quotes from my books, a book on some of the technology I learned along the way; and a Book of the Lists to prepare for the future, including recommended philosophy books, music, art, food, and survival gear all as applications of my theories or for people interested in just one of the topics I cover.

 

I also have published the 11 Large Print Edition Editions for 11 of my collected works books, including: philosophy, topical, and reference collections.

 

My publisher (Lulu) thinks my books are so good that they chose me as one of the first group to have my books appear on their store on Amazon.com and I didn't submit my work for consideration, pay any money for that, or have to sell my copyright. There are currently 19 of my books on Amazon.com, but more may follow.

"When the mood comes, I order a carriage; when I feel tired, I rest. A thousand thanks to heaven and earth for freeing me for such leisure. I feel sorry for the white-haired official who works the station; he's cast an entire life between the hooves of a horse."

"Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest."
