"We are here to understand why we make the choices we make." What does it mean to be human? How can we learn to recognize and vanquish our ego and release our compassionate spiritual essence? This book poses questions and suggests answers while examining how human beings are capable of genocide on one hand and godlike compassion on the other. Growing numbers of human beings believe we have the potential to evolve in spiritual awareness as a species and produce a more compassionate world. Only time will tell but 'time' may be running out. One thing is certain however, positive change will not happen without knowledge, effort and vision. Ignoring the horrors of 'humanity-defining' moments like war and genocide reinforces negative historical patterns of behavior that are growing in number and ferocity. We can create a new reality to make a difference but we need the tools to do so. This book utilizes traditional Buddhist philosophy and other perspectives to create a toolbox for self-realization and positive change.A Country Cop Books publication.

Michael Jaquish is spiritual guide and life coach and a practicing Buddhist of the Tibetan Mahayana tradition following the path of the Bodhisattva. He has spent a very diverse life observing the human condition and pondering life from a spiritual perspective. He is the author of over fifteen books including; NAMASTE (Greeting The Light Within), THE BUDDHA AND THE BADGE, BEYOND COURAGE (Tales of a Country Cop in Africa), and Where Did We Come From? (And Where Are We Going?) Following a career as a peace officer in Washington State, Michael traveled to West Africa in 1989 and spent the next eight years running security operations for the US State Department, often in the midst of civil war and political unrest. He survived three African civil wars and emerged with a deep awareness of how much human suffering is self-inflicted. He now resides in the Pacific Northwest area of the United States where he studies spiritual philosophy, writes and mentors fellow seekers of truth while practicing compassion for all beings.
