The Published Works of Chase McQuade
What begins within one person’s experience can become a question for us all.
These books form the growing body of work behind The Telepathic Counter Revolution. They explore awareness, voices, identity, Christian and Buddhist thought, artificial intelligence, and the responsibilities of freedom.
Some begin in lived experience. Others unfold through philosophy, dialogue, and imagination. Each invites the reader to examine what we believe, how we know, and what our understanding makes possible between us.
Where to Begin
For the personal foundations, begin with Awakening Through Schizophrenia: 2025 Edition. For perception and spiritual inquiry, explore Glamour and Truth. For liberty and our shared future, turn to America: The Philosophy of a Nation.
1. America: The Philosophy of a Nation
What makes liberty possible—and what responsibility comes with it?
This book examines the philosophical and spiritual foundations of the American experiment: independence, justice, democracy, technological power, and the relationship between the individual and the republic.
At its center is a conviction that runs throughout my work: liberty requires clarity, and independence requires moral responsibility. The question reaches beyond the government we inherit toward the nation we create through our participation.
Listed on Amazon as American Philosophy: The New American: The Age of Knowledge.
2. Glamour and Truth: The Blossoming of Existence
An experience can feel beautiful, terrifying, or sacred. What makes its interpretation true?
Glamour and Truth examines perception, identity, awakening, and the stories through which we give meaning to our lives. It asks how we might recognize the difference between an appearance that captivates us and an understanding that survives examination.
A philosophical invitation to question what we hold—and discover how that questioning changes our relationship with existence.
3. Chase and Meredith’s Medicine
Through dialogue, affection, and storytelling, this personal and imaginative work explores companionship and the search for meaning amid uncertainty.
Meredith appears as a voice, companion, and evolving literary presence. The conversations open questions of identity, innocence, spirituality, and love.
“Medicine” becomes a metaphor for the comfort and connection we may find through creative expression and shared meaning.
4. The Mind’s Double: A Study of Tulpamancy and Telepathic Identity
What happens when an inner presence seems to possess a personality of its own?
The Mind’s Double explores voices, internal companionship, tulpamancy, projection, and the experience of divided identity. It examines how such experiences are interpreted and how they may affect a person’s understanding of themselves.
Throughout the inquiry remains a question of boundaries: how do we preserve honesty, discernment, and the freedom to make our own choices?
5. Awakening Through Schizophrenia: The Handbook for the Recently Schizophrenic
The Mathematics, Geometry and Geography of Telepathy
This foundational work records my attempt to find language for voices, altered perception, and unfamiliar inner experiences.
Mathematical, geometric, and geographic metaphors become ways of examining the movement of thought and the patterns I perceived. The book introduces the personal models and interpretations from which the larger body of work developed.
Despite its handbook title, it is a personal and philosophical account, rather than a clinical treatment guide.
6. Awareness: The Last Freedom
When thoughts, emotions, and identities shift, what does it mean to remain aware?
This philosophical investigation examines the distinction between awareness and consciousness. It explores the possibility of observing experience without immediately turning it into obedience, identity, or reaction.
At its heart is a question about freedom: must everything within us be controlled, or can our relationship with what arises become different?
7. Awakening Through Schizophrenia: 2025 Edition
The 2025 edition develops the inquiry into voices, spiritual interpretation, and everyday life, returning to grounding, honesty, discernment, and responsibility.
What direction should an awakening take? How does an insight become useful within relationships, work, and the ordinary demands of living?
The book also examines artificial intelligence as a mirror of language and identity, extending the project toward questions that now inform The Telepathic Counter Revolution.
8. The Sapphire: A Book on Psychic Influence and True Telepathic Dialogue
The Sapphire examines experiences I describe through the language of psychic influence and telepathic dialogue. Its subjects include repetition, perceived manipulation, dependency, identity, and personal boundaries.
The book develops my interpretations of these experiences while asking what any trustworthy dialogue requires: honesty, restraint, clarity, and respect for another person’s autonomy.
The sapphire becomes a symbol of the clarity sought throughout the work.
Continue the Inquiry
These books bring personal experience into conversation with philosophy, spirituality, and imaginative exploration. Their interpretations are offered for examination; they are not established explanations of telepathy or substitutes for mental-health care.
Choose the question that speaks to you. Read, reflect, disagree, and return to what the work asks of our lives together.
