Path Finder: A Guide for the Newly Awakened (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781887555067)

We live in interesting times, and getting more interesting by the minute. That said, the new Path Finder: COVID-19 Edition is now out now and and is being sold at cost. If you share my certainty that the human race is valuable and salvageable, please use this book to guide you on your path. It is meant to make your path more fruitful, without telling you what to think or what to do.Path Finder is meant for those who have been awakened from the slumber of belief and dogma, and for those who seek their full potential. The title of this book refers to the journey to find meaning and purpose in your life, and is meant to help you gain clarity when undertaking your journey of self-discovery. It is not meant to tell you what to think, or not to think. While it will not tell you what to think, it may touch on how to think. What comes after that is up to you. Path Finder will also help you to enlarge upon your awakening, and will assist you to develop principles and practices to guide your journey.

In this book there are guidance found in Christianity, Buddhism, and Sufism, as well as secular books of wisdom. I have taken freely from the words of saints, while avoiding dogma not related to those words. When awakened, you are capable of leading an intentional, committed and loving life. When awakened, you are able to do great good. When awakened, you are able to make a real difference in other people's lives. The reward will not be the keys to heaven, or even the admiration of others. The reward is power. Power over yourself. Power to choose. Power to serve.

FOR A MILLION YEARS OUR SPECIES LIVED IN PARADISE

We were a part of the natural world. Our lives were shorter, but immensely richer. Each day we had more time with family, more time with our community, more time to be ourselves. It wasn't idyllic by any means, but our species existed "in the moment," directly connected with the natural world.

PARADISE LOST

But paradise wasn't enough. Our species sought dominion and security in this world, but our dominion became the curse of every other species on the Earth, and we have not found security in the tens of thousands of years since we invented language, agriculture and animal husbandry, and war. Nor did we find peace. We have been a species constantly at odds with ourselves and with our environment. We have poisoned the Earth. We have driven countless species to extinction and we are on track to destroy a million more. We have lived our lives inside the fantasy dreams of narcissistic and sociopathic leaders. While we live longer lives, we know no comfort or peace. This cycle of failure, destruction and despair is coming to an end, and it is now our choice where the next cycle will take us. It is up to us, you and I, and all those now awakened to undo our species' mistakes and make them right. It is up to us to create new paths for our species, a world without unfounded belief, a world built on love and compassion, a world of enlightened leaders. By our intentions and commitments we will change the world.
