Publisher's Synopsis
We are moving from Homo Sapiens to Homo Luminous, or human beings seeing the physical world at a much higher spiritual level. My colleagues and I teach Epistemology, the Science of Knowledge, in other words, what people think they know and how they know it. We also teach how to unlearn false information by replacing it with universal truths. My job is to jar people out of their mental comfort zones enough to open their minds to exploring all the possibilities they have. Most people have been programmed to live within a certain set of comfort parameters and to conform to those parameters. We box ourselves in like photographs in picture frames. My assignment on this earth is to facilitate the expansion of human awareness. We are an amalgam of the traditions embedded within us as children. We learn from parents, friends, teachers, religious leaders, and life experiences. Most of us have been singularly cultured and are living in a world of perception we mistake for reality. People don't know what they don't know. A foreign language is foreign until we have learned the language. Most of us have subconsciously built scotomas or blind spots. Like a horse with blinders on. Socrates: "Just as those who catch sight of Glaucus - a dead fisherman, according to Greek myth, who had been turned, underwater, into a hybrid god of the sea, covered with aquatic debris - "would no longer easily see his original nature because some of the old parts of his body have been broken off and the others have been ground down and thoroughly maimed by the waves, at the same time, as other things have grown on him - shells, seaweed, and rocks - so that he resembles any beast rather than what was by nature, so too, we see the soul in such a condition because of countless evils." Some of our souls have degenerated and deformed by society. Rousseau himself stated: "It is no light undertaking for man to separate himself what is original to what is artificial... it is hard to judge ourselves objectively....how are we to change?" Perhaps by a certain kind of rapturous illumination, just as Rousseau himself reported experiencing - "KNOW THYSELF - "FIND IT IN YOUR OWN HEART." He wrote: "The principle is freedom....it is a "purely spiritual fact... born free, the human being is everywhere in chains...it is not authorized by natural law... Evil is a product of society."Society with its dirt and debris has transformed some of us into wild beasts beyond recognition. An intelligent person may find a way to the Divine by looking beyond the dirt and debris deposited by society. For Socrates in the Republic: "the answer is a kind of intellectual odyssey, a spiritual wandering or quest undertaken by an open-minded person looking for an acquisition of knowledge that reveals to our true nature." To understand one's true nature, one must, look inside themselves to find the inner-self, the soul, the Holy Spirit of God, which resides in all who have been born on this earth. Jesus left behind a religious movement radically different from both traditional Judaism and Roman Paganism. The new religion promised neither riches nor power, but prioritized loving God.God is not pleased with a one-world government to enrich a political-military system in the name of religion. All political cults co-opt liturgical rubrics in order to legitimize themselves and fulfill a human desire to worship.
