The Balance of the FutureiUniverse, 2005 - 256 páginas Do you make decisions based upon assumptions? We all do. Assumptions are often based upon unexamined perceptions. Most of our perceptions are understood through duality--good/bad, black/white, male/female. This book explores some of these perceptions. They hold a hidden key not only to our understanding of the past, but also to our possible future. The recognition of our global crisis is universal, whether conscious or subconsciously. This juncture holds the possibility of our remaining within our painful, self-destructive patterns, or of creating a glorious leap forward into a stable, free and peaceful world. This book offers an in depth look at our assumptions, shows how they have driven our history and may taint our future. In addition, opportunities are offered to enhance our individual and collective consciousness. Are we courageous enough to take them? |
