The Three Views Collection

A Seventeen-Year Inquiry into Intelligence, Purpose, and Our Place in the World

For seventeen years, Warren Jones has documented an expedition into the nature of reality. This collection emerges from a rare convergence: the rigor of a systems engineer who has drafted plans for satellites, the contemplation of a lay monk seeking truth in silence, and the raw experience of a man who has witnessed the machinery of empire and the ecology of the wild.

Drafted between 2009 and 2026, these books offer varied entry points to a single, urgent inquiry: How do we recover authentic purpose, connection, and vitality in a world engineered for disconnection? They speak to the profound hunger in modern readers—particularly men and women navigating midlife and beyond—for meaning that is not abstract but embodied, for wisdom that is not escapist but operational.

The collection meets a critical need. It offers not just philosophy, but a practice. It bridges the profound gap between the technical, dominant “View 1” world of modern human systems and the intelligent, integrated “View 2” reality of nature's intelligent systems. Readers are not lectured; they are invited, through story, reflection, and clear-eyed reportage, to see themselves and their world anew. The goal is resonance, not rhetoric—a tear shed not for manipulation, but for the poignant recognition of a deeper truth about our place in the living order.

This collection appeals to seekers, naturalists, technologists in ethical crisis, retirees redefining their path, and anyone feeling the acute ache of separation from self, community, and planet. Your voice—the engineer’s precision married to the monk’s compassion and the naturalist’s awe—provides a rare and trustworthy guide for the journey back to wholeness.
