Discussion centered around the book, "The Ascent of Humanity": about the history and future of civilization from a unique perspective: the evolution of the human sense of self. This book describes how all the expressions of our civilizationâits miraculous technology as well as the pillage of earth, culture, goodness, and beautyâarise from our identity, our way of being, "the discrete and separate self". The gathering crises of our age demonstrate that this way of being is on the verge of collapse. And this collapse is setting the stage for a revolution in human beingness whose stirrings we already begin to feel. Frank Dorrel created a 2-hour video called âWhat Iâve Learned About U.S. Foreign Policyâ. He discusses the film and the book, ":Addicted To War", by Joel Andreas, which he published. We learn that the CIA, the military-industrial-complex, the Pentagon, the multinational corporations, the media and the government of the United States are responsible for the deaths of millions of people in the third world, not to mention the poverty and oppression of millions more. We support, arm, and train dictators and militaries that do these evil actions to their own people. All of this is to ensure that we control the natural resources of these countries and their market place, use the people for cheap labor and keep the business of war (which is our biggest business) ongoing.
