They point to a succession of dangerous environmental “tipping points” from which there can be no return. These essays acknowledge this concern. They call for a change in human consciousness in order to reverse our course. They ask us to change the way we think. Delay is not an option. Billions of lives and possibly even the survival of the human species hang in the balance.    #    1 Socrates, the Sophists and the Religionists  #   2 A Warning from Sigmund Freud   #   3 The Anthropomorphic God of Abraham  #   4 A Defining Moment in Human History  #   5 A Clue from the Monastery at Nag Hammadi  #   6 Co-Creation in the Caves at Lascaux  #   7 Am I My Brother’s Keeper?  #   8 American Assumptions Gone Wrong  #   9 The Dangerous Zero Sum Game—Energy Markets vs the Planet  # 10 Forging a New Global Ethic for Planetary Survival                                                             These essays may be duplicated in whole or in part and sent to interested parties, but only for educational purposes and with attribution.
