JJ was born on February 6, 1945, right at the 45th parallel, midway between the North Pole and the Equator. This seems appropriate since he has placed so much focus on the "Middle Way Principle."  For more insight, you are invited to view his astrological chart.

Except for short out-of-state excursions, he has spent the majority of his childhood and adult life in Idaho (USA); and, he presently resides with his wife in Boise, Idaho, where he runs a sign and printing business.

JJ, an author and lecturer is best known for his books called the "Immortal" series. The first is The Immortal (Books 1 & 2) published in 1998. These were followed by The Lost Key of the Buddha (Book 3) and Eternal Words  (Book 4). He has written many other books that he prints on demand.

He also has published numerous podcasts of his classes and symposiums.

Information on these and other items is available here at "JJ Writings" and these items can be ordered at JJ's main website FreeRead.Com.  For a complete list of printed and podcast materials, please see the "Book List" link found on the FreeRead.Com "Home Page."

For close to a decade JJ has been teaching an ongoing class called the Keys of Knowledge. This has produced thousands of free articles available to seekers at his website and this one.

Some wonder why he takes time out of his already busy life to give freely of his time to other seekers. He says it is because of a strong belief that to move higher in spiritual evolution and knowledge one must assist others. "As you give out, even so do you receive," he says.

The Keys Of Knowledge

The Keys of Knowledge spiritual discussion group was created in 1998 in order to discuss JJ Dewey's first book "The Immortal." The original list was hosted on Spiritweb, but later migrated to Yahoo Groups when Spiritweb closed.

You do not have to join "The Keys" nor join Yahoo Groups in order to visit and read what JJ and others post there. However, as a member of "The Keys" you will be able to directly ask questions of JJ that you might have about his writings and teachings.

All are invited to join us at the The Keys at Yahoo Groups.

The (Keys) Archives -- And This Website (JJ Writings.Com)

The Keys Archives

There is portion of JJ Dewey's main website at FreeRead.Com which is often referred to as "The (Keys) Archives." The Keys Archives is where posts to both discussion groups made by JJ Dewey mentioned above are now archived, and are where many of the links found here at JJ Writings terminate. The content of the original post has been extracted and reformatted into an easy-to-read, web browser friendly document which is referred to as an "article." Included in these archived articles are also all the chapters from several complete books which he as written. There are also many other extended essays and treatises on subjects as diverse as: metaphysics; religion; spirituality; popular social, interpersonal, and relationship issues; nuclear power; alternative energy; the environment; politics; and global warming. In addition to the links found in the main Keys Archive Index, links to the chapters of JJ's books, and thousands of essays, treatises, and other popular topics written by JJ Dewey have been gathered together into subjective collections and placed in a three part sub-section of the "Keys Archives" entitled: "From The Archives."

There are several other features available at FreeRead.Com such as podcasts, quotes, and search features to assist you in your journey of discovery -- and they, and all the items discussed here are accessible by using the links that are found on this page or elsewhere here at "JJ Writings."

JJ Writings.Com

The Overview Statement on the Home Page describes the content here at "JJ Writings.Com" as featuring the writings of JJ Dewey's main website. And while this is true, the purpose of "JJ Writings.Com" is that of being a "gateway" to the works, teachings and discourses of author and spiritual teacher Joseph John (JJ) Dewey and not just a "clone site."

The long term goal is to eventually create a kind of "Reader's Digest"-- or abbreviated version of that greater body of work that will enable a visitor to get a quick snap-shot of what is available; and if they wish to dig deeper, the can. The way this is planned to be accomplished is to create single, edited topical compilations ofunique content, and then provide links to the sources documents residing at FreeRead.Com. However, this goal is going to take a greater amount of time. This is why at present you will find that a majority of the time a "word-for-word" excerpts accompanied by links to JJ's main website FreeRead.Com will be provided so that the reader can verify what JJ Dewey actually said and wrote. The intent of the content presented here is to follow what has been written by JJ Dewey to the highest practicable extent possible.

Nothwithstanding, the reader will find unique compilations of JJ's work here at "JJ Writings.Com." Examples of these compilations are:

Soul Contact

Magic Question

Sign Of The Son Of Man
