“Compassion is not religious business, it is human business, it is not luxury, it is essential for our own peace and mental stability, it is essential for human survival.” -Daili Lama
A BELIEF SYSTEM FROM BEYOND THE BOX
How does an author persuade total strangers through a few words that they should read his/her book(s)? First a brief summary would be helpful. This author’s brief summary of either book is: Be spiritual – do compassion.
Next – the book should meet an average reader’s needs as they face life every day. The words in these books help me meet my needs as an average person and I hope they help others do the same. A book should present new perspectives worthy of consideration. e.g. Holmes Rolston III states that “God is an atmosphere of possibilities luring human history up slope.” In “A Belief System Beyond the Box” we think beyond the box containing the God of the Bible Verse into the God of the Universe – the Atmosphere of Possibilities luring human history upslope.
THE LEAP TO EVERYDAY SPIRITUALITY IN THE ETERNAL ATMOSPHERE OF POSSIBILITIES
This book is a candid invitation to readers to explore their beliefs, not a request to agree with the author. As each of these books contemplates spirituality the conclusion is that religions too often claim to control and dispense spirituality. Actually religions exist only because spirituality is already present in every human as a bit of the metaphysical energy/force (God) that gives value and purpose to the all of existence and life. Spirituality becomes functional when transformed into compassion.
