\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0There are several possible approaches to reading our book. Though it has a loose thread of continuity that builds, it\u2019s also designed to enable you to follow your interests. This map provides a general idea of what the book is about by highlighting some key issues from each section. With the book\u2019s introduction as a foundation, most sections can stand on their own, so you can create your own order or follow ours. Basic themes are examined from different vantage points. The chapters explore diverse facets of the human condition and have their own introductions; the commentaries at the end of each chapter develop their social or worldview ramifications. Whether you follow our sequence or chart your own course, the map can help you navigate the book. We hope that whatever your path, the journey brings a more enriched view of our challenges and\u00a0 potentials as individuals and as a species.<\/span><\/i><\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/i>The \u201cIntroduction\u201d<\/b><\/span> sets the stage for the book by presenting its purpose and overarching themes of inner inquiry, humanity\u2019s dual nature, social evolution, and worldviews. We humans are so highly innovative that our escalating technological capacities have far outstripped our ability to handle their creative and destructive powers. To survive and thrive, we are being compelled to evolve socially. Worldviews are primary lenses influencing perception that largely determine what people consider to be \u201creality.\u201d Worldviews underlie beliefs, values, identities, and much behavior, affecting the nature of the social fabric and how we treat each other and our planet. Dysfunctional worldviews based on dogma, outdated beliefs, or magical thinking are serious obstacles to creating a more humane and viable world. Consequently, understanding worldview implications is crucial.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Chapter 1. \u201c<\/span><\/b>Authority\u201d <\/b><\/span>lays out for the book as a whole the issues involved in exploring who we are and how we work as thinking social primates. Examining our nature can create a quality of awareness that breaks through subjective filters and opens possibilities. The chapter also examines obstacles to communication, including their relation to authority.
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Authority <\/b>is at the foundation of social orders, defining truth and morality. In the past, authority was largely unchallengeable, but in our rapidly changing world, all authority requires reconsideration\u2014including accepted wisdom and what\u2019s generally considered \u201csacred.\u201d This includes questioning its basis, how it\u2019s used, and by whom. Unexamined authority creates filters that prevent seeing clearly, while questioning assumptions and beliefs fosters creative change.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 1: Supplement to \u201cAuthority.\u201d<\/b> <\/b>Our book The Guru Papers: Masks of Authoritarian Power<\/i><\/strong> exposes a social virus of mental authoritarianism in ideologies, values, traditional spiritual worldviews, and the human psyche. Becoming conscious of how the virus lives in us helps to disempower it. Its first chapter, \u201cAuthority, Hierarchy, and Power<\/b>,\u201d <\/b>can be a useful supplement to this book\u2019s chapter on authority as it addresses authority in the social arena and distinguishes legitimate authority from authoritarianism. It shows that the real problems are authoritarian,<\/i> power-driven hierarchy and authority, rather than authority or hierarchy per se<\/i>. We define \u201cauthoritarian\u201d as a person or belief system that claims to know what\u2019s best for others and is unchallengeable and impervious to feedback. Since some forms of authority and task-driven hierarchies are necessary, trying to eliminate them is a losing strategy that prevents using them constructively.\u00a0<\/b><\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Chapter 2: \u201cBelief.\u201d <\/b><\/span>The mind constructs beliefs to make sense of the world; they influence how we perceive, think, feel, and act. Beliefs also form group identity and establish values, rules, and roles. They can be used to create or allay fear, to control and manipulate\u2014and to justify just about anything. Since outmoded and conflicting beliefs are a root of violence and many of humanity\u2019s other problems, the question is not only what<\/i> to believe, but how<\/i>? Beliefs and values can be held with an open or closed mind. With ever-increasing change and uncertainty, an open, inquiring mind that strives for greater objectivity accelerates personal and social evolution.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 2-Commentary: \u201cBeing Better Believers.\u201d <\/b>The real battle on the planet today is for people\u2019s minds. Beliefs have largely made the world what it is. They both unite and separate us. People base their identities on them, fight and even die for them. Absolutes hinder social evolution and cause conflict, but relativism undermines the basis for objectivity, truth-seeking, and needed pan-cultural values. Past social orders were held together by unchallengeable beliefs. Now spiraling change calls for feedback-based instead of tradition-dictated approaches. Since all mental constructions are potentially fallible, beliefs need to evolve with changing realities. Aligning beliefs with what\u2019s happening is a source of rapid transformation.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Chapter 3: \u201cPleasure and Desire.\u201d<\/b><\/span> <\/b>Seeking pleasure and avoiding pain are part of our animal nature. Pleasure and desire are powerful motivators that can work for us or against us, enhancing life or shadowing it. Desire brings interest, motivation, goals, and energy to realize them. It can also cause sorrow through dissatisfaction and envy. Enjoyment is part of what makes life worth living\u2014but pleasure easily becomes repetitious and mechanical, limiting life by making it more habit-bound. Pleasures are often short-lived, triggering a desire for more. If uncurbed, this can lead to addictive or harmful behaviors. Seeing pleasure and desire\u2019s relation to pain and fear enables us to walk the fine line between being enriched or driven by them. <\/b><\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/i><\/b>3-Commentary. \u201c<\/b>Pleasure and Power\u201d <\/b>addresses power\u2019s neutral, positive, and negative aspects. Power is the capacity to influence something or someone. Most people want more power\u2014some control over how they feel and the direction of their lives. The problems with power stem from how it\u2019s obtained, used, maintained, and institutionalized. Power can be one of the most insatiable, addictive, and corrupting of pleasures. And the more one has, the easier it is to get more. Without regulation, power and money coalesce, benefitting a few at the expense of the many. This leads to an increasingly dangerous gap between haves and have-nots; consequently, ensuring some balance and fairness is essential for democracies.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/i><\/b>Chapter 4: \u201cFear.\u201d <\/b><\/span>This chapter <\/b>looks at the role of fear, how it works, and how to live with it. <\/i>The focus is on what the mind does with fear and how fear gets entangled with thinking, future projections, and desire. Fear is a necessary part of life and evolution that fosters survival by signaling danger. Since fear is more pervasive in perilous times, the challenge is to avoid getting stuck in the futile loops of worry and anxiety that the mind constructs. Fear and desire, like pleasure and pain, are genetic approach\/avoidance mechanisms. Becoming aware of their double-edged, mechanical nature and interwoven connection with thought makes us better able to handle them constructively. Fear spreads easily, inhibiting creativity and responsiveness, but realistic fear can be a spur for action and problem-solving. Seeing the nature of fear can turn it into a motivator for change.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/b>Chapter 5: \u201cFreedom.\u201d<\/b><\/span> Freedom can be defined in many ways\u2014personal, social, political, philosophical, and spiritual. Western concepts are primarily concerned with its external aspects\u2014freedom from constraints and freedom to act through choice. Many Eastern traditions consider freedom an internal state of peace to be realized through nonattachment. This chapter reframes inner freedom as freedom in action that stems from awareness and seeing clearly; it lies in having the clarity to respond appropriately to what life presents. Becoming aware of conditionings that limit possibility can spring one out of patterns to meet the new creatively.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 5-Commentary. \u201cWhose Life Is Sacred?\u201d<\/b> examines freedom in the context of gender and power. Among humanity\u2019s great challenges are the biological differences between the sexes (dimorphism),<\/ins> coupled with lengthy childhood dependency. Institutionalizing separate spheres for men and women with rigid gender roles has greatly exaggerated and exacerbated male\/female differences, bringing power imbalances, injustice, and growing social dysfunctionality. Globally, this has led to two interrelated, gender-based explosions of life-creation and destruction that fuel each other. Killing, violence, and threat are the bottom line of male power, while most women don\u2019t even have control over their reproductive ability or their bodies. For women to have greater influence in public spheres\u2014essential for a safer, saner world\u2014they need more freedom, including choice related to childbearing.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Chapter 6. \u201cImages\u201d <\/span><\/b>addresses the way memory internalizes experience by creating images of self and others. This affects how we meet and interpret the new and each other. Images can be more or less conscious and subjective, colored by a spectrum of feelings, assumptions, projections, and judgments. Old or biased images can obstruct perception and connection, keeping one stuck in the past. At issue are the accuracy of one\u2019s images and which are pertinent. Self-images are a foundation of personal identity. They anchor habits and impact one\u2019s sense of limits and possibilities\u2014either discouraging or inspiring new behavior.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 6-Commentary. <\/b>Ego is a core part of the innate self-centered and self-referential aspects of being human. Identity influences the forms ego takes; like language, it is acquired and changeable. \u201cFrom Images to Identity\u201d<\/b> maintains that the real problem is not ego, but rigid identities that fragment the world, creating conflict and justifying oppression and violence. The unity of groups whose identity or \u201cgroup-image\u201d is based on feeling superior depends on separation from others. Like self-protection, historical memory is natural, but identifying with a group\u2019s long-standing wounds can perpetuate hostility and vicious cycles of vengeance. As personal identities based on such things as family, gender, ethnicity, or religion broaden, they tend to become more fluid and global fostering cross-cultural values and connections.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Chapter<\/span><\/b> <\/b>7: \u201cLove.\u201d <\/b><\/span>Love is a transformative magical connector\u2014one of the most powerful forces of our mammalian heritage. But romantic love often wanes and gender roles are unraveling, making bonding more difficult. Knowing the predictable, often avoidable obstacles that stand in love\u2019s way can help it thrive over time. Loving is a part of our nature that would fare far better if it were not entangled with unlivable values that interfere with our emotional make-up. Because self-interest intertwines with love, ideals of selfless purity are contrary to how people actually bond. Imbalances and unrealistic expectations create resentments that erode passion. Humans are both caring and self-protective social beings who love and want reciprocity. Values that take our dual nature into account can help bonding deepen and mature.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 7-Commentary. \u201cLove and Care\u201d <\/b>emphasizes care\u2019s uniqueness and crucial importance in the social arena and in meeting global challenges. Love has long been touted as the solution to all our problems, but it often doesn\u2019t even survive in intimacy. Like love, a general capacity to care is innate, <\/b>but care is more accessible and broader-based. Loving is personal, primarily emotional, whereas care and empathy can be taught and extended to many arenas by showing causes and effects, both personal and social. So care has a much wider-ranging <\/b>mental and emotional scope than love. Its cognitive and empathetic components allow it to reach wherever the mind can go.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Chapter<\/span><\/b> <\/b>8: \u201cTime.\u201d<\/b><\/span>\u00a0 <\/b>Views of time influence how people try to live in it. <\/b>This chapter contrasts two elusive concepts: \u00a0<\/i>living \u201cin time\u201d and feeling \u201ctimeless,\u201d each with their place. Time pressures and an influx of Eastern mysticism helped popularize the ideal of living timelessly. The concept of simply \u201cbeing\u201d was a revelation in agenda-bound cultures. But the \u201960s motto \u201cBe here now\u201d came with an anti-thought bias. Since thinking is what humans do, this creates confusion by putting people at odds with their nature. Everything occurs in an ongoing present, so there\u2019s no way not<\/i> to be \u201cin the now\u201d\u2014including when thinking. The now you experience is where your attention is. Timeless states can heighten awareness and sensitivity and bring respite\u2014but they are not a viable recipe for living. Life is a balancing act between being and becoming or doing. \u201cTime\u201d clarifies the conundrums around time, which can free people to live more flexibly and appropriately without formulas.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 8-Commentary. \u201c<\/b>It\u2019s About Time\u201d <\/b>is a core philosophical section presenting perspectives on time and worldviews that can help illuminate other chapters. It describes the \u201cunity\u201d and \u201cmultiplicity\u201d worldviews and offers a more inclusive worldview that synthesizes them. Contrasting their three concepts of time shows the limitations and implications for life on Earth of time-negating mystical worldviews. It also reveals quandaries and hidden biases in the prescription to \u201cBe here now.\u201d (Which aspect of the multi-faceted now should one be in? Where does \u201chere\u201d stop and \u201cthere\u201d begin?) Change and evolution occur in time, so the present contains the past\u2019s cumulative effects and the seeds of the future. <\/b>Trivializing the past and future as merely thought\u2019s creations is not only misleading, but counter to survival. Past causality and potential future consequences need to be taken into account more\u2014not less. Our brain\u2019s complex time awareness was an evolutionary breakthrough bringing greater hindsight and foresight. Unless we develop greater \u201cfar-sight\u201d now, our now may not have a future.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Note: <\/i><\/b>While the section on time is complete in itself, the \u201cTime\u201d<\/b>\u00a0chapter is a good introduction\u00a0<\/i><\/span>to\u00a0\u201cMeditation\u201d\u00a0<\/b><\/i><\/span>and the “Time”<\/strong> commentary is a useful supplement to it.<\/i><\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Chapter<\/span><\/b> 9. <\/b>\u201cMeditation\u201d<\/b><\/span> addresses the strengths, problematics, and limitations of traditional Eastern inward approaches to insight\u2014including the paradoxes and pitfalls of spiritual seeking and practices. Though meditation can be a doorway to a different way of being, it can also reinforce misleading or rigid beliefs and conditioning. This chapter examines the effects, benefits, and hidden drawbacks of various approaches. <\/b>Motivations range from reducing stress and improving health to gaining insight and spiritual realizations. Most meditation aims at stilling thought to calm and clear the mind. But whether meditation heightens, deepens, or dulls awareness, clears or programs the mind, depends on the nature of the worldview and values underlying it and how it\u2019s taught, practiced, and interpreted. It can become an insidious form of mind control if it programs renunciate values and beliefs that are adopted as \u201cthe way to be.\u201d Zen is an example of promoting nonattachment and \u201cself\u201d-negation as a path to enlightenment. But nonattachment easily becomes an emotional defense mechanism that promotes self-protective armoring. This limits and distorts relationships because human bonding is based on attachment. When you care about anything\u2014including yourself\u2014you\u2019re attached to it.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 9<\/b>-Commentary.<\/b> <\/b>\u201cControl Through Surrender\u201d <\/b>focuses on <\/b>meditations geared at controlling the mind and emotions through surrendering to prescribed practices such as Vipassana<\/i>. This can detach the mind from its usual contents and control mechanisms, but beliefs are then frequently implanted that are their own form of mental conditioning. Spiritual worldviews commonly generate practices that reinforce their beliefs by producing predicted effects said to \u201cprove\u201d them\u2014a closed, circular system. Pre-Darwinian and purportedly non-dual worldviews, like much of Buddhism, characteristically negate the self as thought\u2019s illusory construction that hinders spirituality. Such no-self, anti-thought frameworks are contrary to our nature, producing confusion and inner conflict. Awareness is not simply presence or stilling thought. Worldviews that devalue thought negate meaning, interpretation, and implications\u2014essential aspects of understanding. Human awareness, including self-awareness, was a great evolutionary leap that needs to evolve further\u2014not be undermined.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Chapter<\/span><\/b> 10: \u201cEvolution<\/b>.\u201d <\/b><\/span>Where we are as a species is an expression of who we are and have been\u2014not who we can be. Developmentally, humanity\u2019s current precarious state represents our adolescence, not our essence. The evolutionary factors that made humanity successful are now putting us and other species at risk, forcing us to evolve personally and socially. This involves developing our extraordinary social potential by examining what in our nature, beliefs, and institutions is propelling us toward nonviability. <\/ins>Seeing clearly what works for us and what doesn\u2019t has its own evolutionary momentum. The driving force within evolution lives in each of us\u2014offering hope. By enlarging our capacity to become conscious participants in the process that made us, we take our fate more into our own hands.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 10-<\/b>Commentary. \u201cIntelligence Without Design\u201d <\/b>reframes the \u201cintelligent design versus scientific materialism\u201d controversy. The design argument claims that the extraordinary intricacy and exacting precision of the universe\u2019s construction is proof that a designer (God) created it. Scientific materialism claims that physical laws entwined with random events explain the cosmos sufficiently. This section presents a broader evolutionary framework that we believe explains existence better than either side. It includes science but is not limited by materialistic reductionism. Instead existence is portrayed as having an inherent \u201cintelligence\u201d that manifests as an open, undetermined, evolutionary momentum toward complexity. On Earth, this cosmic motor of change led to experience, self-consciousness, and eventually self-reflection. As complex, thinking social beings, we humans are one of the myriad ways that existence can experience itself through evolution. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n
