My new book is about the human species adopting an ancient, truer, sound economic, and more empathic perspective, as the present one continues to be a major disaster and will continue so into the future. For example, let’s look at war which right now is demonstrating again its evil ugliness of human duality obsessions.. Arguably the most evil and catastrophic human activity ever.
According to a New York Times article: What is a war?
War is defined as an active conflict that has claimed more than 1,000 lives.
Has the world ever been at peace?
Of the past 3,400 years, humans have been entirely at peace for 268 of them or just 8 percent of recorded history.
How many people have died in war?
At least 108 million people were killed in wars in the twentieth century. Estimates for the total number killed in wars throughout all of human history range from 150 million to 1 billion. War has several other effects on the population, including famine, environmental desolation, the killing of plants, and animals, etc. decreasing the birth rate by taking men away from their wives. The reduced birth rate during World War II is estimated to have caused a population deficit of more than 20 million people. Let’s repeat this again, Of the past 3,400 years, humans have been entirely at peace for 268 of them, or just 8 percent of recorded history.
We need a new common perspective Badly not only for war but the intelligent perspective of integrating all into the One- Non Dualism…!!!

As Nobel winner physiologist Walter R. Hess (1973) wrote,
Much exists and evolves in this world, which is not accessible to our comprehension, since our cerebral organization is primarily devised so that it secures survival of the individual in natural surroundings. Over and above this, modest silence is the appropriate attitude.
As Buddhist Scholar Sue Hamilton (2000) notes,
[…] if the structure of the world of experience is correlated with the cognitive process, then it is not just that we name objects, concrete and abstract, and superimpose secondary characteristics according to the senses. It is also that all the structural features of the world of experience are cognitively correlated. Space and time are not external to the structure but are part of it.
The neuroanthropologist Terrence William Deacon wrote,
“We live our lives in this shared virtual world […] The doorway into this virtual world was opened to us alone by the evolution of language.”
Author R. G. H. Siu wrote that humans deceive themselves because of their unique capacity:
Human beings are destined, as humans, to live in a world of make-believe, people with virtual presences of each other and all things existing and not existing. Neither the observer nor the observed can remain human entirely in truth and reality. Fable is the fare of the human.
We are all Interconnected even with the Universe
