This Tribe Of Mine: A Brief Essay |
||
|
This Tribe Of Mine by George Hiram Williston is a revolutionary new book examining the roots of our competitive militaristic culture. The author wrote the book to develop a new understanding of who we are and who we should be as human beings on this Earth. This Tribe Of Mine begins with a discussion of the genocidal conquest of Briton that displaced most of the original Gaelic speaking people in what is now known as England. George examines the early New England settlers' racist extermination and selling of the original people into slavery during the 1600s in Massachusetts. He also writes about the destruction and displacement of the Iroquois during our American Revolution, the taking Guantanamo Bay from Cuba and our annexation of the Philippines during the Spanish American War, and the truth about the historical events leading to the Vietnam War. The book is written in simple direct language for all and it addresses basic questions in very grounded ways. To stop endless war we must change the cultural values in America. Our endless warfare is an expression of our cultural values based upon warring and domination of resources. We must teach healthy ways for individuals to think and live as an expression of their personal values. This Tribe Of Mine offers a fresh look at Jesus the Christ as a fully developed human being and great teacher whose message was co-opted and twisted to support empire and domination of the human spirit. George details how this happened during the reign of Constantine the Roman Emperor. The book bridges the gap between Eastern spiritual teaching and Christian teaching, showing evidence that Jesus traveled and studied in India bringing ahimsa back to the West. It will give you many new sources for reading and study that will uplift your spirit toward a new understanding of our legacy as human beings in this wonderful intelligent universe. This book will expose you to amazing new scientific discoveries. The study of quantum physics for example, is causing a re-evaluation of human intelligence and potential for interaction with the Zero Point Field. Science is now showing that human mind, heart, and intention can affect healing, electrical equipment, distant viewing, and behavior of other creatures. Science is now recognizing that organisms at the cellular level intelligently mutate DNA in relation to external environmental conditions. It is a fascinating wonderful Universe saturated with intelligence beyond the old mechanical Big Bang model. It may be that until we cleanse our hearts and learn their potential we will not know true human potential in order to interact with the intelligent forces that exist here. Our culture, among others, has promoted and relied upon man's tendency to be greedy and that has led to the human suffering in our world. We need to look at our culture and ourselves first so that by embracing a greater understanding of who we are and who we can be, we may ultimately make this a better world and achieve a greater level of personal joy as we walk through this life. |
