Suicide Dictionary
The History of Rainbow Abbey
by Paul Lonely

Content:
In 1453 ce an island was discovered in the North Atlantic called Ambrojjio and donated to the Catholic
Church. Pope Nicholas V (the first humanist Pope) used the land to erect a secret monastery for an artist
colony of monk-poets he employed to formulate what he called a "prophetic" or "inspired" document to be
published in the year 2050. This artist colony (now called the Order of Quantum Catholics) has survived
to the present day and still employs monk- poets who remain hard at work on this document, now titled
Quantum Psalter.

Here is the first volume describing their heroic work. Maybe you have read the Upanishads, a few
Buddhist sutras, or possibly even Rumi or Blake. But those describe the spiritual experience of yesterday.
Suicide Dictionary is the poetic expression of spirituality in our time. We now live in an age where to be
Integral is to be on the leading edge of human consciousness. Suicide Dictionary is the product of
applying these higher levels of consciousness to the art of creative writing. It offers a "Contemporary
Upanishads" that captures the beauty of both western intellectuality and eastern (or mystical)spirituality in
a single literary framework


REVIEWS:

"One of the most promising young writers we've ever encountered."
--Integral Spiritual Center

"A Suicide Dictionary by a man named Lonely? What’s going on here? In my opinion, it’s a new genre of
literature: an integral interweaving of the premodern wisdom of the past with the postmodern insights of
the present, a skillful and intriguing inquiry into not only a lexicon of words but the essence of all the
world’s religions interspersed with modern characters trying to make sense of it all. And the best way to
do that is to integrate! Integrate! But not just with an intellectual mish-mash of eclecticism, but with a
depth that illuminates. This is what, I believe, you’ll find on the pages of this dictionary, one that shows
you a light out of nihilistic suicide and loneliness into the widening embrace of relationship and integralism.
Let the words and ideas on these pages connect your synapses in ways that you never perceived of
before while reading this integral text of sparkling gems meant for contemplation. It will make you want
to live again – but this time, integrally!" --Brad Reynolds, author of Embracing Reality: The Integral Vision of Ken
Wilber (2004, Tarcher/Penguin) and Where’s Wilber At? Ken Wilber’s Integral Vision in the New Millennium (2006, Paragon
House)

Genius. Paul Lonely has gifted the world with a genuinely unique work. Suicide Dictionary is a miraculous
kaleidoscope of perspectives bound to stretch the mind, body and spirit of its lucky readership. Stuart
Davis, author of Sex, God and Rock & Roll

“The first trans-traditional scripture written from a fully awakened
integral awareness; This is turquoise transmission at its best!”
-- Dustin DiPerna Author of The Infinite Ladder: An Introduction to Integral Religious Studies

An ambitious project, brilliantly executed, exhibiting the integral thinking so vital to our present age - Ron
