Universal Ethos Johan T Burgh

Publisher Marketing: This book seeks to review the nature of the human spirit, individually and collectively, suggesting approaches to renew our common identity and responsibility to and for each other, leaving ethnic and religious arguments behind, but instead recognising and realising our common ethos, under economic, ecological and governmental statutes, in line with these supposed days of globalisation. Its propositions, though seemingly radical, are designed to open our minds to new and realisable ideas, so as to provide a forum for the possibility of moving forward from the conditions of dissension between people which so often confound our supposed best efforts to improve the condition of life, our spirit and our world order. In some detail it reviews the fundamental needs and rights of the human spirit in terms of emotional and psychological fulfillment, then seeks to define the necessary interactions between us which constitute our combined and desired universal communion. While glossing over the many complex issues which currently constitute our national and international affairs, it achieves, at a new level, incisive recommendations for simplifying our sense of what it takes to create happiness for self and other, by redressing rampant economic growth, and instead gradually replacing it by sustainable, ecological, environmentally-sound, approaches to life while also addressing the painful sores of religious, ethnic and territorial strife. This book is adventurous in encompassing the many aspects of our individual and social, national and international affairs, within a framework of what is truly good for our human nature, in being accountable for each other, and serves as a good, ready reference for many and varied aspects of what we might achieve for each other throughout the nations of the world with a renewed sense of common identity, purpose and resolve. It is generous in its recognition of the part which holy men and deities have played throughout the history of our world in seeking to lead us to practise qualities which bring us peace and love in fulfillment of our divine spirit.
