Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Something's missing in the world today, and maybe it's been gone for centuries. The problem: most of us don't have authentic beliefs or a clear path in life.What do we believe? Whatever they told us to believe.What do we do? Whatever other people are doing.How many lies have we welcomed into our lives without having seriously analyzed them?It's the reason many of us feel empty inside-there's nothing there but convenient mistruths, and at some level, we all know it. We then orient our lives based on these false beliefs, wasting our precious limited time among the living striving for goals that leave us ultimately unsatisfied.The False Paradigms of Today and The Timeless Truth of Tomorrow by John Bliss takes a steak knife to these common delusions with 13 irreverent essays that tear at the foundations of our collective worldview. The essays in Part 1 dispel our delusions one at a time, including: -our mistaken belief in progress, -our misplaced confidence in our own rational prowess, -our loss of personal identity from group identification, -our misplaced faith in science as a true representation of the world, and -our morality: what it is and where exactly it comes from.After carving away these restrictive untruths, Part 2 introduces a deeper understanding of humanity based on history, mysticism, psychology and philosophy.Some of the topics in Part 2 include: -how our religions became second-rate pathways to God, -our reliance on logic and how it warps our decision-making, -how idealism can lead to mass murder and tyranny, -the overriding importance of history, where we've been, where we are going and why, -our immaterial connection to all people living and dead-Jung's collective unconscious, Emerson's Over-Soul, and Varro's Soul of the World, and finally -the bedrock assumption that we all got wrong. Switch this out, and everything changes.The essays are filled with stories from history, including meetings of the apostles Paul and Peter with the Emperor Nero and Simon Magus the magician, the mystical transformation of Emmanuel Swedenborg, the nineteenth century German intellectual revolution, the establishment of three French religions worshipping not God but Reason and Humanity, the abdication of the World Teacher, and the genocide of the Tibetan culture.The book is ideal for seekers of deeper meaning, arm-chair philosophers and historians, and those disillusioned with the emptiness of contemporary thought.Discover why your view of reality may be distorted-and how by changing the one assumption on which your entire world-view is based, everything shifts. A collection of philosophical essays challenging the dominant paradigms of modern society, scientific materialism, groupthink, and the cult of reason, pointing toward timeless truths that can help readers find genuine meaning in their lives.
