We are at a point in human history when there is an urgent need for change. The old ways are just not working. Many of our current problems seem to be a repeat of the past. At best these issues are systemic, at worst, they are chronic; either way, there are too many apparently unsolvable issues. Continue reading ‘Chapter 1′

First, you are not the body. Umm, sounds a little crazy, but let me elaborate. You would not mistake me with what I am wearing today…. You would not mistake me with my shirt or jacket. Well, my body that you see should not be mistaken from who I am. The discovery that you are not the body has far-reaching consequences. You no longer see black or brown or white or yellow people.
