All of the work of Joseph Smalkowski, also known as the performer and philosophical rock poet, Copernicus, has been contained in four unpublished books, a thousand unpublished poems, and thirteen world internationally acclaimed philosophical art rock albums. In "Immediate Eternity," Copernicus goes brain first into the atomic and subatomic world, the world he calls MAGOVA, and struggles to extract a vision of reality and bring that vision back into the consciousness of the world of the bare human senses, a world he calls ILLUSIONA, in order to free humanity from the supremely superficial vision of the bare human senses. This book documents the passage from the primitive "mine-I-me" consciousness to the world of subatomic consciousness and immediate eternity. Copernicus' past thirteen albums, chronologically listened to, document the struggle to secure what has been finally attained in this manuscript, the uncovering of the illusion of identity and the total and immediate assimilation and subsequent disappearnce into the eternal Universe. The final lift out of the illusion of yourself is here reached for and achieved. "Immediate Eternity" documents a positive process of evolution and growth. The book is not about mystical mythical feelings. On the contrary, clinically, and Copernicus is clinical and technical with up to date science supporting his stand, all of what most will call a mystical experience happens to him because of his clinicality and technical stubborneness. He stays clinical and technical unaware of what is happening to him. The reader is watching it all happen to him as he spills out his guts and puts his brilliant philosophically bent experienced mind to work to take control of a vision that he has spent the last fifty years of his life trying to put together.
