You know that einstein quote is framed and on my wall at home. Anyway I am in agreement with a lot of your ideas. I hope this all works out for you. I don't know why exactly but I am optimistically excited. Maybe it is hope that your book will catch on quickly with the world. I have enjoyed reading your writings.

I already have rewritten this five or six times. The next chapter will probably have to mirror the same effort. It will take time, but I know it can come true. The first and second chapter are already linked.. They will be improved. Thanks for your words...John

What you say is true, we created this sorry state. I have told my soon to be 21 year old that it is up to her and her peers to save us from ourselves. They have a new mindset and I hope they can see the big picture. Somebody better, soon. For all our sakes. We need peace in the world.

Comment from Alaskastory
'Introduction' to your awesome book, "Life From Now On" is full of ambition to reach so many points of self thought and self conduct. You are so right in inferring that a mirror can be as frightening as a world without a mirror. Your project is way beyond my complete understanding, but it is intriguing enough to make me want to read all the chapters. Good luck with such a project. It will benefit all.

Comment from c_lucas
It is Quixotic thinking when one tries for the goal of World Unity. Man higher self and lower self will never function in synch. To argue either point would be a waste of time. Man should try to achieve self control, love and awareness. Only good can came from the effoft.

Comment from Deejharrington
I wish I had a six to give you. I am so excited that I stumbled on to your posting. I think its what I called as a retired teacher, a "teachable moment" The time when, working with a student, you could see the light bulb come on. Well, my light bulb is glowing brightly. I can't wait to read and learn more! The first idea of living without lies fascinates me. I anxiously await your next posting.

Very thought-provoking intro to your book - enough to make me want to return for a further look, certainly. Lennon's 'Imagine' made an interesting and well-known leaping off point for your discussion of how the world can be changed.

This is very well thought out. The writing is perfect, as far as I can see. I wish more people took the time to evaluate the effect their words and actions have on others and on the world around them. Alas, most of us just muddle along, stomping on the daisies as we go. More people should read your work! Well done.

Comment from Cairn Destop
Such thinking is an ongoing process that never seems to reach a conclusion. Life isn't a story. There is neither a beginning, or an endings; one flows into the other. What one calls the start, is a middle for some, or the closing for another.
John Lennon might have had an awakening, or he could be the superior song writer. Though his ideas are hardly radical, they speak of another reality. When the community is one, it is possible. Yet, size matters.
Perhaps I am looking at it from a different angle. Yours is the individual. The community will see things different because it focuses on the long-term. Regardless of what we think, our time on stage is brief, and the play is the thing. Looks like old Willie understood things better than we ever gave him credit.
Another thought provoking essay. At least I could understand some of its basic premises.

A journey into the development of human behavior. The analysis of world unity and it's diverging pattern of peace and aggression. Interesting prologue.

This is a thrilling introduction chapter to your book. Much material to read and digest but at the same time opens venues in the brain. I like imagination as well. Wishing you well in your book.
