Having traveled over 2,000,000 miles to forty-four countries over 35 years, this author has found that people of all cultures universally share the same basic needs and wants; to love and be loved, to provide a better life for their children, and more basically, to experience life without threat. Threat can manifest in the form of hunger, poverty, illiteracy, illness, or physical/emotional/spiritual aggression. The 21st century provides an atmosphere of escalating violence, and terror, amidst the Middle East in particular, and the world in general. Such as the Roman Forum prior to the turn of the first millennia after Christ, mankind seems unable or unwilling to cease participation in the spiritual morphine of violence whether real or virtual, or vicarious. This author has written Toward Spiritual Sovereignty, A New Reformation, and Rosebud, in order to diagnose spiritual samodaya (Buddhist terminology for emotional craving), and use knowledge and wisdom from masters of ages past to refocus the spirit of man (spiritus mundi) on a wholesome recreation of the world community. Every soul has the divine right to determine his or her sacred path to their unique destiny upon the horizons of learned choice. Political aggression, (governmental power), religious aggression (proselytizing), and financial aggression (voracious capitalism) work against the ends of happiness and wellbeing. These works are an attempt to advocate for the abolition of hindrance toward those ends, to advocate, without fetter, for spiritual sovereignty of every soul.
