James Augustine Aloysius Joyce was born on February 2, 1882, just south of Dublin in a wealthy suburb called Rathgar. The Joyce family was initially well off as Dublin merchants with bloodlines that connected them to old Irish nobility in the country. James' father, John Joyce, was a fierce Irish Catholic patriot and his political and religious influences are most evident in Joyce's two key works A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man and Ulysses.
As a result of their steadily diminishing wealth and income, the Joyce family was repeatedly forced to move to more modest residences and John Joyce's habitual unemployment as well as his drinking and spending habits, made it difficult for the Joyces to retain their previous social standing.

James Augustine Aloysius Joyce (2 February 1882 – 13 January 1941) was an Irish novelist, poet, and literary critic.

Brief Biography
Fascinated by science and somewhat of a nerd, I built my own HAM radio station by the age of 14 and during my last year of high school won the Northern VA Science Fair for building a working linear ion accelerator. Entering Rice University on a physics scholarship, I found myself most interested in electromagnetic and plasma phenomena and graduated with a BS in Electrical Engineering, hoping to go on for a . Shortly before graduation, my worldview was forever changed by an experience I had in the remote countryside of central Texas, and thereafter I became increasingly interested in the physics of consciousness. For several years I worked with John Lilly in his interspecies communication work, and under his guidance built my own isolation chamber for contemplative exploration. In New I began painting large abstract canvases while exploring consciousness with various teachers from India and Tibet.
I left New York for San Francisco and entered graduate school at the California Institute of Integral Studies after hearing of its unique methodology seeking of sci
