Philosophical Reflections on Political and Cultural Issues

This book is an analysis of our world's present condition seen from a spiritual vantage point. Its holistic view exposes the major problems we face: arms budgets, twisted democracy, nuclear energy, overpopulation, giant cities, etc, and allows us to consider what the solutions might be. We cannot solve our problems without the coherent and unified vision that can be found in ancient spiritual traditions. The ageless wisdom of Tao offers a profound and little-known understanding of the origin and structure of the world. It gives us the means to understand what we are, what our destiny might be and how we might best live.
