JAMES TUNNEY - WRITER, PAINTER & SPEAKER
About James Tunney
I left a successful academic career in law to focus on spiritual and artistic development. Having published plenty of academic articles and reports, consulted internationally, as well as presenting talks on various aspects of globalisation in many countries around the world - I am now writing about the critical issues of our time. I am also painting from my studio in Sweden and sell my art online.
Trotsky vs Jesus is my latest book. It explains how world revolution will lead to an atheistic technocracy.
I write on Substack and you are welcome to read and subscribe at Reflections on Revelation & Revolution . To hear me talk on issues related to my writing, see the Interview section of this site.
My artworks are available for purchase at my shop and we ship across the world for free - both originals and prints.

The Author & Poet
My latest books are a series on techno-politics and issues like transhumanism, posthumanism, AI and how they relate to spirituality and religion in the context of possible human exitinction through re-engineering. By understanding these issues you will be better equipped to realise the value of spiritual consciousness and protect your soul.
I have also published books on mysticism combined with poetry, a conspiracy novel and a dystopian novel.
You can find my books in any Amazon store, both as paperbacks and e-books. My books are all linked to my author page amazon.com/author/jamestunney If it is not linked to my author page or listed on this website - I did not write it.
You can also read my Substack - Reflections on Revelation & Revolution. There is an extensive archive of recent thoughts available.
My non-academic writing is in a wide range of categories, both fiction and non-fiction but although the range might appear wide in its scope, they are all linked by two themes. The first is the idea that individuals are primarily spiritual beings that must evolve and be spiritually self-aware of the nature of consciousness. The second issue flowing therefrom is this: the individual must recognise that they are prey to forces which seek to dispirit them and control their consciousness.
All academic articles were, in one way or another, about issues associated with globalisation. For more information see the 'Academic' section.
My books are all united in their concern for the primacy of individual spiritual freedom of the human person and the threat of our destruction and deconstruction by the scientocracy.

The Painter
My paintings can often be described as expressionistic and are almost always rich in colour. I have a great fascination of the figure in art and have painted many reflective portraits of known figures. To further explore this I have also made a few paintings of known figures, sitting for portraits or preparatory sketches, such as Sean Scully.
I mostly paint using oil on linen or silk canvases. I sometimes use other materials such as acrylic, pastels, charcoal and gold leaf.
I have a profound interest in art, the history of art and the great European heritage of painting.
I have been painting my whole life. I am convinced that painting harbours a deep inherent power that will overcome the challenges of technology and prevail over contemporary trends. Original art has the capacity to change your surroundings and affect your perspective.
My art is represented in private collections as far away as New Zealand and coast to coast in the US.
I am selling my art through galleries, fairs, auctions but mainly now from my online store. Shipping is free and we sell originals, fine art prints and canvas prints across the world.
To hear me talk about art, see the interview on Consciousness and Fine Art on New Thinking Allowed YouTube channel.
