Reflections on the Journey to the Omega Point Tom Reidy

"Reflections on the Journey to the Omega Point" is a collection of random thoughts (in no particular order) that I have been amassing and collecting over the past 70 years on a variety of subjects. It is a representation of my philosophy of life -- that we are on a journey, or a pilgrimage if you will, through a hostile, insecure, and uncertain world on the way to the Omega Point -- death, the portal to Heaven, our eternal home where there will be eternal happiness, security, and certainty in an infinitely loving environment presided over by an infinitely loving God. Whatever happens to us here is important only insofar as it contributes to our place in that world beyond the Omega Point. Only one thing is important: Eternal Salvation in an eternal Paradise with an eternal God. Some of the concepts will be repeated throughout the book but they are important enough to bear repetition as they fall into the context of various different essays. I admit that I have grown more cynical as I have grown older but the world we live in is becoming increasingly conducive to cynicism. I'll warn the reader now that this is a very dark book in many ways but it is a realistic book written from a Roman Catholic perspective and viewpoint. All Scriptural quotes are taken from the on-line version of the Douay-Rheims Bible.
