“Magnifique! Un Roman Extraordinaire”. Yvette Bleu
‘Please stop sending us extracts from your novel. Its too whacky, fantastical & picaresque for our neo working class pseudo realist agenda”. Northern Writers

“ An interesting, entertaining & engaging, if slightly inaccurate, view of the space time continuum, cosmic history & the universal constant conspiracy from a small planet in a solar system (number 3275641980y/samsara/005) on the outer edge of the Milky Way - known by one species of its occupants as Planet Earth.

Albion’s Children is a serialised online novel by William Wade Wilkins who is Australian by birth, aged around 78 years old and has travelled extensively around this planet.
He began writing it over 30 years ago but it wasn’t until he met his cousin Gordon some years ago (online through a series of coincidences) that they decided to publish it as a serialised novel.
So it has become a collaboration between William as the writer & Gordon as the editor and online facilitator.
After a couple of different manifestations on websites it has been hosted on Squarespace for the last 4 years or so.
This version of Albion’s Children was last updated in December 2022.
It’s published as an online text version www.albionschildren.com (which you’re reading now) & there has been an audio version on Soundcloud which is currently not available.
But……for more information on the forthcoming all new YouTube version see below.
There are a number of ways to navigate round the text version of Albion’s Children.
By clicking on any of the links (underlined) that are on the pages of the novel.
By opening the menu (three horizontal lines) at the top of each page & clicking on the links there.
By clicking on any of the links in the footer bar at the bottom of each page
Moving through the chapters & communications by clicking on the chapter name & number on the Chapters or Communications page & then on the Next Chapter or Next Communication links at the end.
The chapters have been published in a particular numerical order but as this is definitely a non linear ‘novel’ they can be read in any order.
The Soundcloud version is no longer available.
I’m currently re-recording the entire audio version which will be on YouTube in the next few weeks……..More information about this new phase in Albion’s Children on this website
(in no particular order)
The laws of nature can be defined by a set of numbers that provide the parameters for the evolution of the Universe as we know it. This is known as the Universal Constant. It has to be set to an accuracy of one part in a trillion, trillion, trillion, trillion, trillion (pretty small really) if the Universe is to grow old enough & big enough to contain stars and life.
The Universe that we inhabit is one of a limitless variety of Universes in which all forms of life & all possibilities are manifested. Known in modern physics as the Multiverse, in Hindu & Buddhist cosmologies as the “infinite variety of Maya*”
Travel through temporal and spatial locations within & between individual Universes is possible both theoretically & practically if one knows the co-ordinates where the interfaces are closest or the energy/matter/time curtains are thinnest.
Time moves all ways, always. Back, forward, side to side, up & down, in circles & spirals. Chronological & temporal events are uncertain and mostly subjective. They are affected by consciousness. Minute, medium & cosmic scale occurrences in time are connected in an infinite variety of ways.
Evolution is not a random process. It's a consciously developing energy containing within it the possibility of perfection. In our Universe it's partially driven by the aesthetics of the structures & dynamics of DNA.
Some of these assumptions can be expressed by a simple set of symbols or by the performance of certain movements of power in states of lucid dreaming.
The 12th century Waldensian heresy has recently become the subject of theological discussion & philosophical speculation. The original heresy believed that God had withdrawn completely from all aspects of creation as a result of humanity’s refusal to take responsibility for & stewardship of nature.
An element called Illyrium is the most ancient substance in the universe possibly older than the 'big bang' itself. It is also a manifestation of consciousness & intelligence. There is only a small amount of it in existence & the few pieces on Earth appear as everyday objects. It makes dimensional travel simpler & has an unlimited ability to store information of all kinds (including emotional and psychic states) making the internet & so called "super computers" seem like chalk marks on the slates of little children.
Love is limitless.
*Maya is a Sanskrit word meaning play or illusion
