Life is a journey, one on which we involuntarily found ourselves a member prior to our new and untainted minds comprehending a sense of self. Proof of joining sentient life as a newborn bioform came from the humans known as parents. With teachers, preachers, and others trusted with our survival, they offered essential maps, itineraries, and good, evil, truth, falsehood, reality, and myth. We believed the knowledge to be flawless. We questions nothing. Yet, ageless fears about out journey grew, revealing sacred closets designed to preserve convenient existence, with little respectful vision of life's primal harmony. What is life, and how do we fit? Can we all happily coexist? How do humans understand their corporeal demise? Is God real? Will living in the present moment be the key to our enlightenment? Is freedom from self possible, or is the effort futile? Naturalist and philosopher Steve Greene, inspired by reality and truth. rather than ritual and tradition, offers stimulating insight on numerous aspects of our communal, yet frequently self centered, journey. Steve's candid and provocative assessments are vital tools for self evaluation, awareness, and evolution which ultimately unveil the path to inner freedom, peace, and transcendence of self.
