Hi there, welcome to this Website.
This is about philosophy or ways of thinking and food for thought. Have you ever
wondered if there is any universal code of conduct or order, that will pass the
test of time, and that could make our lives easier, happier and more predictable
and could reduce human suffering? Yes there is, it`s in the book.
The book explains the basic structure of our surrounding including our selves.
It shows how the world we live in is connected and controlled by a very simple
set of laws, including our social behaviour .As a main point it explains the
mental toolbox many of us have and how to use it. Since most things we or
anybody else do, start with a thought or lack of one, it pays to have a look
what kind of thinking is behind our lives as well as the major world events
,since they have a definite bearing on all our lives.
It`s easy to kill a thousand men (just turn on your tv and you`ll see ) but you
can`t kill an idea. However, you can change ideas and with that social behaviour
through education, that is explaining to people why they are really making the
decisions they are making and what consequences their thought patterns really
have.
Right now the dominant idea worldwide is greed for power, money is just an
accessory tool. This is part of an historical cycle and all the present
upheavals in nature are only a connected parallel event. If anything, it shows
that we as a species are subject to the cycles of nature like anything else on
the planet. However, we do have the ability if we use our mental tools to
minimise the destruction caused by our own social behaviour. But that is not
what is happening today, quite the opposite.
Last time this greed for power got extreme in the western world was in the 30`s
and 40`s and culminated in WW II. Then it manifested itself in Germany because
at that time that was the nation that could do the most damage in the West.
England would not have made it of their island and America at that stage was not
so extroverted. Today the same idea, greed for power, is manifesting itself in
the most industrialised nation on earth, America, for the same reason: They can
do the maximum damage. So, have we learned anything ? No, as a species we
haven`t. And next time around in about 30 -40 years it will be China, the next
superpower. Remember the Mongols? Just imagine what they would do with even
todays technology. Party time.
In
my book " One Iota of the Big Picture" I point out the basic structure of the
world around us and a very simple set of laws clearly visible in nature and
binding for everything including us as human species. Those laws explain amongst
other things our social behaviour and they also give us the chance to act
differently if we so choose. chapter IV deals with the human mind and points out
the mental tools at our disposal, as well as explaining the mechanism of thought
patterns. chapter VI explains the biggest challenges/problems we are facing
today and what is causing them. And chapter VII explains the solutions and with
that the way out, using our mental tools from chapter IV.
What makes this book very relevant to the times we live in is that it explains
the structure of our surrounding as well as the "road rules" and our mental
tools given to us by nature. And armed with that, we should be able to do a lot
better than we are doing now. It`s meant to be food for thought because in the
end every one of us has to make up their own mind about their actions, but it
certainly helps if you know what mental tools you have available to you.
On
the following pages you`ll find a few excerpts from the book as well as
contacts.
I
hope you enjoy the reading
have a nice day
