The Creative Principle: a Cosmology for the Twenty First Century William O. Joseph

There is a growing awareness on our planet that something is systemically wrong with the way we have organized human affairs. We have been through and rejected the tyranny of monarchy, dictatorship and fascism. We?ve seen how the dilution of self interest in socialism and communism leads to apathy and disaster. Just when we thought free market capitalism was the holy grail of political ideology it began to exhibit fatal flaws. Our old cultural belief systems are beginning to break down. People around the world are asking why a privileged few get to enjoy massive prosperity while the rest of the population continues to suffer. Why have all these systems failed? They have failed because the underlying philosophies upon which they are built do not match the intent of creation. Why do we need to create a new cosmology for the 21st century? We need to replace the belief systems that separate one culture from another, one ideology from another and one religion from another with a new worldview that emphasizes the universal concepts that unite us all as a species. Once in a while a book comes along that provides some clues about how to do that. The Creative Principle is such a book.
