Universal Ideology

This book on Universal Ideology is the second in a trilogy on History, Ideology and Revolution. The first book, in 5 volumes, traces the history of Western Civilization from the period of prehistory when the matriarchy ushered us out of animality by creating the first social structures of the clan and tribe, up to the present day when a global capitalist empire under the domination of the United States threatens human existence itself and the very life support systems of the planet.

As we trace our history, we observe the origin of the divisive sentiments of gender bias, racism, class exploitation, religious dogmatism, national chauvinism, and environmental destruction that continue to rule our thinking today. As such, the religious dogmas and political ideologies that control our thinking today are too divisive and limited in scope to overcome the debilitating environmental and social problems that confront us as a human society.

Today the world is in a tormented and feverish state. People across the globe are literally sick to death without the cure they need to become well. Yes, we are talking about the corona virus but upon deeper reflection it is only a symptom of the deeper problems that confront us as a species.

In this book on Universal Ideology, we explore the makings of a comprehensive value-system that addresses our common human predicament. Its purpose is nothing less than to provide human beings, irrespective of current divisions, to unite under a common banner and move in unison to our highest perfection. In this universal ideology, we explore, not just the human psyche and social psychology, but the nature of Consciousness itself. The book proposes that the historic quest of human beings for wealth and power that has divided us across the planet is nothing but a mental distortion of our uniquely human urge to realize unlimited happiness. This overwhelming urge that never leaves us is actually a calling from our deepest self, our soul, that can only be satisfied by the possession of an Infinite Entity. As such, no matter how hard we mistakenly try to satisfy this urge through the possession of finite objects, the more elusive the solution to our anguish, sense of isolation and feeling of emptiness.
