GODLESS -- Living a Valuable Life Beyond Beliefs (Volume 6)
As we have become more civilized we have lost the wisdom of the ancients. We have taken their understanding and limited it to formulas. What we want is to know what works, and to make things work better so our lives are more comfortable. The sophisticated structures of civilized philosophies, theologies, and political-economy hide the truths buried under their foundations. Godless blends what Rasley has learned from the Basa Rai in the Nepal Himalayas, from Quakers, and the American philosophy of Pragmatism. The book describes a values-based way of living derived from the author's cross-cultural experiences. It encourages a spiritual response of awe and gratitude for being alive and conscious in this wonderful shared world.
