    About this ebook

    Hello provides insights into the origin of consciousness, the dynamics of the human mind and the positive effects of using truth to cope with reality.

    The three sections of the book, When, Now and Then, follow the transformation resulting from using the power of truth to reveal insights into human existence, love, hate, conscience, happiness, fear, birth, death, marriage, morality, ethics, justice, war, the environment and the future.

    Hello offers hope for individuals seeking to find themselves and for a humanity struggling to survive in the face of economic ruin, environmental destruction and endless war.

    The universal language is truth and the first word spoken is Hello.

    Author

    William John Cox

    For more than 45 years, William John Cox has written extensively on law, politics, philosophy, and the human condition. During that time, he vigorously pursued a career in law enforcement, public policy, and the law. As a police officer, he was an early leader in the "New Breed" movement to professionalize law enforcement. Cox wrote the Policy Manual of the Los Angeles Police Department and the introductory chapters of the Police Task Force Report of the National Advisory Commission on Criminal Justice Standards and Goals, which continues to define the role of the police in America. As an attorney, Cox worked for the U.S. Department of Justice to implement national standards and goals, prosecuted cases for the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office, and operated a public interest law practice primarily dedicated to the defense of young people. He wrote notable law review articles and legal briefs in major cases, tried a number of jury trials and argued cases in the superior and appellate courts that made law. Professionally, Cox volunteered pro bono services in several landmark legal cases. In 1979, he filed a class-action lawsuit on behalf of all citizens directly in the U.S. Supreme Court alleging that the government no longer represented the voters who elected it. As a remedy, Cox urged the Court to require national policy referendums to be held in conjunction with presidential elections. In 1981, representing a Jewish survivor of Auschwitz, Cox investigated and successfully sued a group of radical right-wing organizations which denied the Holocaust. The case was the subject of the Turner Network Television motion picture, Never Forget. Cox later represented a secret client and arranged the publication of almost 1,800 photographs of ancient manuscripts that had been kept from the public for more than 40 years. A Facsimile Edition of the Dead Sea Scrolls was published in November 1991. His role in that effort is described by historian Neil Asher Silberman in The Hidden Scrolls: Christianity, Judaism, and the War for the Dead Sea Scrolls. Cox concluded his legal career as a Supervising Trial Counsel for the State Bar of California. There, he led a team of attorneys and investigators which prosecuted attorneys accused of serious misconduct and criminal gangs engaged in the illegal practice of law. He retired in 2007. Continuing to concentrate on political and social is...

      Hello - William John Cox

      Prologue

      This collection of thoughts was written by

      the orphaned eleventh child of a strong woman,

      who gave that and a mother’s love, and

      a hard-working dirt farmer,

      who gave that and the magic of books.

      These are pages from the journal of a

      common self-educated man in his thirties.

      They contain the thoughts of one

      who has spent his life relearning the language and

      who now reaches out for others to whom to speak.

      It is dedicated to those who speak the truth and

      whose voices echo.

      Thomas Donn

      When we as children

      Played Mother May I?

      In the schoolyard dirt,

      It made no sense

      To ask permission

      Before taking a

      Giant step.

      It makes less sense

      Now.

      When

      Back to top

      I’ve never built a sandcastle

      Or written a message

      In the sand,

      Or floated a note in a bottle

      To a faraway land.

      There was no ocean where

      I was born,

      And I was not long a child.

      I too quickly became

      A man,

      And these are things

      A man can’t do alone.

      A Silly Dream

      I dreamed of a God in the sky

      One night.

      He was a schoolboy who had

      Erected an experiment

      We call the universe

      On his bedroom desk.

      He was occasionally chastised

      By his father

      For failing to better care for that

      He’d created.

      But, most of the time

      He neither noticed

      Nor remembered.

      I awoke from my dream

      And found

      That I could never again

      Believe in a

      God in the sky.

      Alone

      In the evening shadows,

      When you are alone,

      And your heart cries out

      For the ringing of the phone;

      When there’s but silence and

      The ocean’s roar,

      And there’s no knock

      Upon your door;

      When you sit

      For quiet hours long,

      And the voice of another

      Would be the sweetest song;

      When you fear the dark,

      Much as a child,

      And there are numbers

      That you do not dial;

      When you are alone,

      And you’re with me,

      Then is when

      We'll learn

      To be.

      Reflections

      Long by the still water

      I did quietly lie,

      Gazing into its depths

      Up at the sky,

      Until one day I was

      Surprised to see

      A face I liked

      Smiling back at me.
