The book is a beginning, my first 13 years of publication. Of course the philosophy continues to develop. Ongoing discussion is on Medium.com at Ernstraud Magazine (articles) and Wise Cracks (daily gems).

1. Is Happiness Ernstraudian?
Realizing existence, purpose, and joy forever
Constructing a fresh outlook on existence, Ernstraud Philosophy emerges during one visionary's spiritual journey from sentience, through imposed religion, to humanist understanding of eternal progression. Appreciating positive self-realization, the reader grows beyond altruism and scripture to meld self with other. Individual humans cooperatively fuse diverse silo worlds into a coherent tapestry of ever-increasing happiness. Simple, direct language builds a nuanced, sustainable confidence in shared new reality where we believe differently and work together lovingly.
The journey began here as a periodical with an original viewpoint. The double tulip flower grew in my front yard.
The complete magazine run 2011 - 2019 that started it all.

All the books here contain numerous internally linked footnotes.
ALL formats contain external links to the internet. Such footnotes do not only identify sources; they take you there. However, the internet changes, and some resulting broken links are out of this author's control. Often an archiving tool like WayBackMachine can retrieve old information.
Kindle does not accept .AZW3 format uploading. I have dropped this format.
A special request to readers, especially teachers who use these books as supplemental materials
May nobody use my material as conclusive proof of the perfection or validity of any proposition. The writing is intended as creative exposure that broadens respect for complex reality without establishing dogma. Its value is the thinking that it stimulates.
