After several years of research into the new discoveries of
science and cosmology and the new translations of the world's
religions, I have found that we are not only going extinct, but
that we are the ones doing it through pride and arrogance. We as a
species have developed an addiction to this ugly, disconnecting
emotion. Totally lost to us is the unifying, sustainable emotion of
humility. Clearly, unless we can recover humility's natural state,
we will continue in the violent, frightened, unjust lifestyle of
pride, and we will force our own species--and many others on the
Earth--into extinction. This book maps out our personal, group, and
species pride so there can be no doubt of its powerful influence
in--and lethal power over--everything about us. A study of how we
can get out of pride and into a state of humility occupies most of
the book because that is what we must do right now. If we are to
live enjoyable and meaningful lives and have a future, we must
throw off pride and enter into humility. This book is a map, guide,
and call to hope for our joyful and sustainable future. It's a call
to come out of our slavery to self to see and embrace other humans,
groups, and species of the Earth. In this new state of humility, we
will be released to see ourselves not just as citizens of the
Earth, but as citizens of the cosmos. In humility, we will discover
that we are not the center of anything but an important part of
everything. We will throw off things like pride's violence,
illusions of control, worry, fear, anger, fighting, comparing,
judging, competing, and taking everything personally. We will take
on humility's laughter--especially at ourselves--love, justice,
peace, forgiveness, identifying with and appreciating everything,
and being all-inclusive. The natural thing would have been for us
to evolve into humility. It is the only way that any reflective
species in the cosmos can ever hope to survive and flourish.
