Notes from Outside the Box

Human contention and strife in the World today are the result of “birth pangs” of a new paradigm. The Creative Process that was started with the initial ignition of our physical universe is a continuous series of events marked by paradigm moments; stars, life, and now us. These events unfold over millions of years. Our history dates back a mere ten thousand years. We are experiencing the birth of a new paradigm. For the first time living matter (us) can create that which did not exist before. This book views the nature of the human condition from outside the box of our physical universe. The purpose is to provide the reader with a strong sense of the way to look at the human condition. We are One People. We have more in common than is popularly communicated. This book answers the questions of why and how we have reached the current pinnacle of accomplishment. It is important to read the book one “rung” at a time. It provides a “ladder” to viewing Humanity from Outside the Box. Each rung can be read independently and will present concepts that will ultimately provide the answers to the why and how, but they must be digested one bite at a time.
