				PROLOGUE


	It has been said that unless mankind learns a new, more selfless 
philosophy of life he shall soon perish.  As a Social psychologist I have 
studied the increasingly complex and lethal social problems of our world and I 
agree that micro man is fast approaching the end of his life on this earth.  
Indeed, micro man is frantically pursuing his own extinction.
	Micro man is the individual with the limited microcosmic view or 
philosophy of life in which self-centeredness is seen to be the only sensible 
way of life.  His life goal is to protect and please himself, his family, his 
property, and his nation (in that order) in any way he possibly can.  From a 
limited micro perspective it is impossible for him to see the consequences of 
his selfish behavior: fear, frustration, pollution. strife, and ever more 
destructive wars.
	"The time is coming when you will hear the noise of battle near at
	hand and the news of battles far away: SEE THAT YOU ARE NOT ALARMED. 
	Such things are bound to happen; but  the end is still to come.  For 
	nation will make war upon nation, kingdom upon kingdom; there will be 
	famines and earthquakes in many places.  With all these things the 
	birth-pangs of the new age begin."  Matthew 24:6-8
	With out environment being increasingly polluted and strife within 
our nation and without also increasing, more and more people are losing their 
hope and faith in the future.  the wise advise, "See that You Are Not 
Alarmed," seems impossible to follow, and it is impossible for anyone holding 
a limited, micro perspective or philosophy of life.  Only from a larger, macro 
perspective or philosophy of life can one see purpose and meaning in today's 
world situation and remain, "...not alarmed."
	it is the purpose of this book to present the larger macro-cosmic view 
or philosophy of life in which the real causes and, thus, the real solutions of 
all human problems can be seen and considered. For those who practice this 
larger perspective or macro philosophy of life the future will once again be 
filled with hope and joy, and the advice, "See that you are not alarmed," will 
be easy to follow.
	An old way of life-the age of selfish micro man-is dying: But a new 
age is being born-the Aquarian age of selfless, loving. macro man.  this book 
is designed to aid man in his adaptation to this new age by presenting the 
foundation for world peace and unity--macro philosophy

				CHAPTER 1


			     WHY PHILOSOPHY?



	I believe that when most people think of philosophy (if they think of 
it at all) they tend to think of the stereotype of dull, impractical courses 
taught in college by dull, impractical professors.  If I had not been so 
fascinated with the fundamental questions of philosophy,(what is truth, what is 
beauty, what is reality) I am sure that my own experiences with college 
philosophy courses would have supported the above stereotype.
	To the ancients, philosophy included all knowledge-all arts and 
sciences.  Obviously, only from the ancient mystical view of the macrocosm 
(all is one-one infinite mind) could man hope to expand his mind's awareness 
to infinity-thus, encompassing all knowledge.  to micro man, who denied this 
macro view of one infinite mind, it was impossible to know all.  As ages 
passed and man practiced narrowing his mental perspective, the micro view of 
man gained in power and respectability and a macro philosophy which included 
all knowledge was obviously (from a micro view) impossible.  Thus, philosophy 
was divided into the various subject areas of the arts and sciences, and man 
became a specialist by learning more and  more about less and less.
	One of the consequences of dividing up the universe into pieces, like 
Humpty Dumpty after the fall, was that man forgot how to put it back together 
again.  Man became caught in his own micro mythology and became divided and 
alienated from his own greater mind, and, thus, divided and alienated from 
his own fellow man.
	As a mid-20th century student I too felt this self-other alienation 
and sought to escape its anxieties by seeking truth and beauty from textbooks 
and from my professors.  After nine years of college and university life in 
which I went from one subject to another trying to find ultimate answers, I 
became a sadder but wiser student. Wiser only to the extent that I had at last 
learned the truth and beauty exists only in the mind.  Or, as Shakespeare 
said, " There is nothing true nor false but thinking makes it so."
	During these nine years I studied under many very learned and 
brilliant men at three great universities and two small colleges in the U.S. 
Yes, brilliant, and learned men, but no where did I find men of great wisdom.  
for wise men are not narrow and overly specialized ads the modern Doctor of 
Philosophy is expected to be.  "By their fruits you shall know them," said the 
wisest Man of all time, and in the quality(fruits) of my professors' lives I 
found the same petty, narrow, and anxious concerns that I was trying to 
eliminate from my own life.
	Not only were educational leaders narrow but so, also were our leaders 
in government, business, and religion.  We claimed to be a Christian nation 
but even our religion was divided into many sects and our nation certainly did 
not practice the one commandment of Jesus-"Love one another as I have loved 
you"-for our greatest national efforts were devoted to killing our fellow man 
in war.
	In my years of searching for wisdom that would free me from the narrow 
prison of self-other alienation, I discovered that I lived in a society whose 
leaders practiced the same micro philosophy as I did.  That micro philosophy 
doomed its unknowing disciples to a narrow petty life of fear and anxiety 
through its self-fulfilling prophecy that all men are limited to a few 
experiences in one short life and, thus, can never know all-or even 
any-ultimate universal answers.
	I know now that I had unconsciously, been in search of the ancient 
concepts of macro philosophy. However, having accepted the micro philosophy of 
separateness prevalent for the past several thousands of years.  I found it 
impossible to view myself/others/the universe/God from a macro viewpoint of 
unity.
	Micro philosophy did not satisfy me, nor could I see that it satisfied 
anyone else in the long run.  From psychology, sociology, and anthropology,
I had leaned that all human behavior is totally determined by heredity and 
environment and that free will is a myth.  As a counseling psychologist, and a 
member of the American Psychological Association, I had no satisfying 
philosophy of life for myself, much less for my clients, yet, I had a Doctor 
of Philosophy degree.
	Unfortunately, one can receive a Doctor of Philosophy degree and know 
nothing about philosophy or anything else that would help a person live a 
balanced satisfying life.
	However, I had learned  that it is not necessary to have ever taken a 
course in philosophy or any other subject to have a philosophy of life.  Each 
newborn member of society is socialized by the process of inculcating certain 
cultural beliefs about himself, about others, and about the universe.  thus, a 
person's philosophy of life is composed of the beliefs, the prejudices, and 
the mythology of the family, the ethnic group, and the nation one enters into 
at birth.
	Yes, every family in every society provides its new members with a 
philosophy of life-but, for thousands of years it has almost always been a 
micro philosophy.  This micro philosophy provides micro answers which are 
fundamentally unsatisfactory in answering the three major questions of 
metaphysics: Who we are, where did we come from, and where are we going.
	It is how we answer these three questions that determines the 
quality of our lives.  In other words, the central core of our philosophy of 
life is our self concept or how we perceive and define ourselves.  Whether it 
is conscious or unconscious, our philosophy of life determines whether we are 
rich or poor, healthy or sick, calm or fearful, loving or hateful, and finally 
happy or sad.
	is this too much to believe?  Yes, from a micro point of view, it is.
But you who are dissatisfied with the consequences of micro thinking in your own 
lives, open your minds to a larger view of man-an alternative to micro 
thinking-macro philosophy.

				CHAPTER 2




		    INTRODUCTION TO MACRO PHILOSOPHY



	Just what is macro philosophy?  is it something new? Not really.  some 
2,600 years ago Laotzu of China and Guatama(Buddha) of India were talking 
about macro philosophy and attempting to practice it.  Then, some 1900 years 
ago, the man from Galilee not only talked about it but perfectly practiced 
it-in a form that might be called macro counseling or macro therapy.
	The philosophy which these three great men presented to the world so 
many years ago promised perfect peace to a world filled with conflict.  
Obviously, from the amount of conflict still existing today in the world, the 
philosophy shared by these three men has not been understood, much less 
practiced.  Just what, then, is macro philosophy?
	Macro philosophy is a system for relating all things from the 
smallest(micro) to the largest(macro).  It begins something like this:  All 
things are not only related but macro cosmically one.  things are only 
separate and divisible from micro view points or frames of reference.  Macro 
philosophy envisions a microcosmic-macrocosmic continuum (mM continuum) which 
neutrons, protons, electrons are indivisible par of ever larger physical 
bodies such as man.  continuing, we can perceive man as an indivisible part of 
a third planet called Earth, and then (again enlarging our perspective) we can 
perceive this planet as an indivisible part of a solar system which is, in 
turn, an indivisible part of a galaxy, which is an indivisible part of a ... 
and so on.  It is at this point, if not sooner, that we may be thinking, "Yes, 
so what?"
	All right- here is the concept that man has not been able to grasp in 
more than a superficial way:  Man feels pain and loneliness and experiences 
sickness and death to the extent that he feels separate and divided from 
self/others/universe/God.   The social psychiatrist;, Erich Fromm, in his book 
"The Art of Loving," states, "the experience of separateness arouses anxiety: 
it is indeed, the source of all."
	Why does the feeling of separateness cause anxiety? Perhaps one way 
of answering this question is to suggest that anyone or anything that we 
perceive as separate, foreign, or alien to us is always a potential threat.  In 
other worked, they are potentially anxiety producing.  It is only when we feel 
union or oneness with anything or anyone that we can feel comfortable, 
accepting, loving-the opposite of anxiety.
	From one point of view, a macro perspective, all human suffering, fear 
and hate, pain and disease are the result of lack of faith that all is one-all 
is love-all is God.  This does not deny that negative thoughts and feelings 
exist, it points out that they are the products of unbalanced micro thinking. 
 all the great religions of the world have proclaimed that, "As you sow, so 
shall your reap."  macro philosophy presents this in terms of the consequences 
of negative and positive thought patterns.
	The wise man in Proverbs 23:7, over 2,000 years ago, stated that, "as 
a man thinketh in his heart, so is he." Macro philosophy states that a 
negative thought produces a negative feeling and a negative experience. while 
a positive thought produces a positive feeling and positive experience.  no 
thought is ever forgotten-Jesus proclaimed this as ,"You must answer for 
every idle thought or word." All our thoughts reside in our subconscious mind 
(what the ancients called the heart) where each negative thought continues to 
produce negative feelings until it is balanced or canceled (+and-= 0) by a 
positive thought of equal intensity or strength.
	Negative thoughts produce anxiety (psychological pain) such as fear, 
anger, frustration, guilt, depression, sadness, etc.  We try to avoid negative 
feelings by denying their existence.  That is, instead of recognizing that we 
cause our own negative feelings by thinking negative thoughts, we try to avoid 
our negative feelings by using psychological defense mechanisms such as 
repression, projection, and rationalization, to name a few.  how do these 
defense mechanisms work?
	all defense mechanisms are designed to reduce or eliminate 
psychological pain by reducing or eliminating our awareness of our 
uncomfortable feelings.  Thus, we reduce our self-awareness to tiny micro 
frames of reference,  one very common technique is to shift the responsibility 
for our discomfort from ourselves to someone else or something else.  
Literature holds many examples of this technique of using both projection and 
rationalization, but probably the best examples can be found in your own daily 
life.
	All of us occasionally have uncomfortable (guilt) feelings about our 
job(we are not making enough money or getting the promotions we want), or our 
family(we are not as successful as we would like to be in pleasing our spouse 
or our children or having them behave as we would like).  It has been easy for 
us all to blame either circumstances(I don't have enough education;taxes and 
government restrictions limit my business and myself) or individuals (my boss, 
my spouse, my children don't appreciate me and my parents were too poor to 
help me get a better education.)  Of course, the reason these denials of 
responsibility and guilt techniques work so well(temporarily) is that they are 
true.  However, they are true only from a micro perspective.  From a larger 
frame of reference, it ;is true that if our boss or our spouse and children do 
not appreciate us we have failed to behave in a manner in which they CAN 
appreciate us, from THEIR point of view.
	For example, A certain business man insisted that to be successful in 
his job he had to spend a lot of time wining and dining his customers and 
playing golf and other sports with them.  He bitterly resented that his boss 
and wife did not appreciate how hard he worked.  From his limited micro 
viewpoint this was true and he was unjustly treated.  Yet from his wife's 
point of view her husband was home so little that he was a stranger to herself 
and their children, so she was seriously considering getting a divorce and 
finding a man who was willing to spend more of his time playing the role of 
husband and father.  From his bosses point of view a good employee would not 
turn in such a high expense accounts and be away from the office so much that 
communications between boss and employee suffer.  The boss was considering 
firing this unsatisfactory (from the bosses point of view) employee.
	As illustrated in the above example, denial of larger reality(other 
viewpoints) in the long run causes ever greater problems.  The consequences of 
reducing psychological pain by using techniques of self denial(psychological 
defense mechanisms such as repression, projection, rationalization, fantasy, 
atonement, etc.) are from the short term (micro) point of view successful in 
reducing psychological pain. In other words, they do work.  That's 
why we use them. however. they are only temporarily successful because they 
reduce their self awareness so much that we can conveniently forget that all 
our feelings are caused by our own thoughts-never by anyone else's, from the 
larger viewpoint.
	Perhaps the least known consequences of psychological defense 
mechanisms is the inevitable development of psychological stress which wears 
and tears the body down until it becomes sick, ages, and eventually dies.  
Research in this area has been developing for over 30 years under the 
leadership of Hans Selye, M.D., who has summed up his research by stating that 
if there is no stress or fight there can be no disease, pain, or death.  For 
those who doubt this, read his great book, "the Stress of Life."
	The ultimate and long range consequences of self-denial is greater 
pain (psychological stress), because they never eliminate the cause (negative 
thoughts); they just temporarily reduce the result (negative feeling). A 
dramatic example would be the case of alcoholics or drug addicts.  To reduce 
psychological pain they knock out (deny) vast portions of their minds to 
temporarily gain relief from their feelings of discomfort, and are rewarded by 
pleasure feelings.  But, the causes are not eliminated and when the alcohol or 
drug wears off the psychological pain is always greater.  since they refuse to 
accept the responsibility for their own discomfort-denying self and 
reality-they are doomed to remain addicts until the pain gets great enough 
that nothing reduces it.  Then and only then, are they ready to accept 
responsibility for their own negative thoughts,to ask for help, to learn a 
larger perspective-a new truth.
	What is truth? It depends on whose viewpoint your are using.  And 
from one point of view, there is nothing either true or false, good or bad, 
painful or pleasurable, ugly or beautiful, but thinking makes it so.  A 
dramatic example of this is illustrated by the use of hypnosis.
	Almost everyone will agree that having an arm or leg slowly cut off is 
exceedingly painful.  Yet some 5,000 physicians and dentists, today in 
America, use hypnosis to perform almost every kind of operation, and the 
patient experiences not pain.  At least there is no pain to the extent that , 
and as long as, the patient is able to accept the deep hypnotic suggestion 
that no pain exists.  Thus, thousands of cases demonstrate that we can only 
feel or experience anything to the extent that we believe(or think) that we 
feel or experience it.
	From a micro viewpoint, the way we think( and, thus feel) is 
absolutely determined by heredity and environment, neither of which we have 
any control over.  And it is heredity and environment which absolutely 
determine the quality and quantity of our early learning.  Carrying  this 
micro viewpoint further, as most modern biologists and psychologists do, we 
find that all present behavior is absolutely determined by past learning.  
Thus, all future learning (behavior) is determined totally by heredity and 
environment, over which no one has any control or choice.  Therefore these 
scientists say that man has no free will and all behavior is completely 
determined by blind chance.  And this is true, from a micro point of view.
	However, this micro viewpoint denies that there is a larger 
perspective.  The world is flat, as any fool can plainly see. and the world is 
flat from a one square mile viewpoint-or concave if in a valley, or convex if 
on a hilltop.  Thus, the size of your perspective (or sample of the universe) 
determines what truth is, within that frame of reference.
	Some scientists deny the existence or practicality of larger 
perspectives such as the sub-macro perspective (sub-conscious or soul level) 
or macro perspective (super-conscious or God level).  It is ironic that 
psychology, as generally taught in the past 40 years, has completely denied the 
existence of a psyche (mind or soul) and insisted that psychologists can only 
"know" physical or sensory data.  The following descriptions of these macro 
philosophic concepts will be quite unacceptable to scientists with a micro 
orientation.  It might be appropriate, however, to quote Dr. Seyle as follows: 
"Great progress can be made only by ideas which are very different from those 
generally accepted at the time."
	The sub-macro views man as a great mind unlimited by time and 
space,-sometimes called an immortal soul-which periodically elects to 
temporarily inhabit various types of other vehicles (called human bodies) in 
order to experience and learn self awareness in its striving toward ever 
greater perfection (awareness that all is one.)   The ultimate purpose of all 
souls in all of their experiences is to attain macro-cosmic awareness, that 
is, oneness with the super-conscious mind, or God.  The reader who seeks 
"evidence" for the above statements is referred to Cayce, and Sugrue, included 
in the references at the end of this chapter.
	Another way of looking at these three levels of awareness could be as 
follows:

	1. the micro self is an individual's body, personality, and limited 
	   conciseness which believes that this is all there is of an 
	   individual.

	2. the sub-macro self or sub-conscious mind knows that the micro self 
	   is only a tiny part or projection of the sub-macro self(soul) and 
	   realizes that the micro self is like a new born baby who has not 
	   yet learned that it is human (tiny part of a soul) and has a father 
	   and a mother (symbol of the positive and negative polarity of the 
	   human soul).

	3. The macro self or super-conscious mind knows that all is one and, 
	   therefore, is aware that the macro self contains within itself the 
	   positive and negative polarity of all dimensions but is in perfect
	   balance.  While there may be a temporary imbalance in the 
	   individual souls (which causes their lack of macro awareness) these 
	   individual imbalances are canceled out when put all together 
	   within the perfect (balanced) macro self.

	In other words, there are no problems at the macro level, and 
eventually all souls will attain this perfect level of total awareness.  No 
matter how dark the night, eventually the light of day and the sun (son) must 
come.  
	While mystics in all ages have described this ultimate macro 
awareness, perhaps the best known and available reference to this macro 
perspective is found in the 17th chapter of the Gospel of John. In this 
chapter the greatest psychologist of all time states this macro purpose or goal 
of all souls as: "...that they may be one, as we are one, I in them and thou 
in me, may they be perfectly one." John 17:22-23
	It is only from this macro viewpoint, in which the human soul or 
subconscious mind perceives its oneness with all minds (superconscious, 
universal mind, or God), that the soul cannot be threatened or become fearful 
of anything, because all is one.  Thus, it is only from this macro viewpoint 
that the soul can obey the ultimate, or macro commandment: " Love one another, 
as I have loved you." John 15:12
	Macro philosophy teaches that what is right or wrong for anyone depends 
on one's frame of reference or perspective.  for instance, while it is right  
for the Christian to eat pork, it is wrong for the Jew or Moslem.  Another 
example is, that while it is wrong to kill others during peace time, it is 
right during wartime.  this type of right or wrong belongs in the context of 
social law or custom.
	While societies expect conformity to laws and customs, there are areas 
of personal taste or life style in which considerable variation is permitted.  
for example, in our society, while we are not permitted freedom to choose 
whether or not we will fight in wars, considerable freedom is allowed the 
individual in his choice of food, clothes, and recreation.  Our personal 
philosophies, which may be mostly unconscious, will determine our choices in 
these areas.  Most people do not realize that their personal philosophy 
determines whether they are fat or thin, healthy or unhealthy, and most of all, 
happy or unhappy.
	If we examine the size (temporal dimension) of our personal philosophy 
or perspective, we will recognize that  it is the size of our perspective that 
determines our awareness of the consequences of our choices.  for instance, if 
Hedonistic pleasure is our major goal and our temporal perspective is quite 
limited, we will be unaware of the long range consequences of over-indulgence. 
We will eat too much of rich spicy foods and become fat and eventually sick.  
We will avoid strenuous physical and mental exercise and become physically and 
mentally flabby and eventually both unhealthy and unhappy.
	Since we are all seekers of pleasure, it is extremely important that 
we become aware of the size of our perspective, for short term pleasure 
frequently causes long term pain.  If we are really interested in maximizing 
pleasure we must expand our perspectives in order to become aware of the long 
range consequences (pleasure-pain) of our personal philosophies and the 
choices they determine.
	those who are micro bound cannot effectively (at feeling level) 
comprehend anything beyond a physical view of man.  Concepts such as the 
sub-conscious, or soul, or brotherhood of man, are merely cognitive 
abstractions with no effective referent for micro man.  In other words, he 
can not feel related, brotherly, and loving toward even his closest 
acquaintances for any extended period of time. He basically feels alienated 
and separate from himself (his own sub-conscious) and, thus, must feel 
alienated and separate from all others.
	The Emperor, Marcus Aurelius, said "To be vexed at anything which 
happens is a separation of ourselves from nature."  He was presenting the 
macro view that all is one and that, from this macro perspective, there could 
be no vexation or anger with anything.  It is only when man forgets that he 
is macro perfect and all powerful that he feels inadequate, threatened, 
abused, fearful, frustrated, angry and sad.
	He who forgets his past is doomed to repeat it.  To the extent that 
man can expand his awareness (both cognitive and affective) of his past, he is 
freed from repeating it. If he cannot remember that it made him sick to eat or 
drink too much in the past, he will repeat these actions and pay the 
consequences, over and over again, Until he can remember. All learning is the 
process of learning the past.
	If we could remember everything, we would realize our macrocosmic 
origin.  The soul was once consciously united and one with all souls, 
everything, God.  some souls became bored.  they desired to experience an 
imperfect event, an exciting, fearful, pleasurable, painful, carnal event.  To 
do this, the soul elected, chose, to narrow narrow the focus of it's 
consciousness or awareness until it could not remember where it came from or 
where it was going. In this state, of self-induced amnesia the soul could 
experience pride and exaltation over others because it had forgotten that it 
was one with all.
	in this state of amnesia the soul could perceive other souls as 
enemies because it viewed itself as separate from other souls.  Like the mad 
paranoic who thinks his fingers are trying to strangle him, because he has 
forgotten that he controls them, the souls had forgotten they were all 
powerful and, from a macro view, made all the decisions and caused all the 
results or effects.  Since they had forgotten their greater selves' power, 
they were doomed to live in an unbalanced, imperfect, micro world where no one 
could remember his past lives and, thus, no one could foresee the future.  No 
one can see the end of their journey if his vision is limited to only a tiny 
part of the whole journey.  No one can make sense of the jig saw puzzle if he 
can see only a few of the millions of pieces.
	All the pieces of the puzzle, past and future, are hidden in our own 
minds.  However, only the relatively wise souls have relearned to expand their 
consciousness, or awareness, in order to remember more of the past and future 
and, thus, see more pieces of the cosmic puzzle.
	The great problem of life is to "know thyself."  If we could 
completely know ourselves, we would be able to remember every life and every 
experience back to the beginning-the creation of our souls.  However, long 
before attain this macro awareness we would have freed ourselves from the 
cycle of birth and death associated with these unwieldy physical forms called 
bodies.  Before attaining total macro awareness we will have experienced an 
awareness of the infinite series of dimensions of the whole 
microcosmic-macrocosmic cyclic continuum.  According to macro philosophy we 
all must and we all shall consciously experience everything, and thus gain 
total macro awareness.

			    CHAPTER 3



			 THE MICRO VIEW



The micro view is narrow, shallow, and most of all, limited in time.  All 
human problems are caused by micro views.  It is the shallow micro view that 
divides mankind in terms of skin color, for micro man can see no deeper into 
his fellow man or himself than the surface.  Since he is not aware of himself 
at a deeper level, he cannot see more deeply into others.  Because he is 
divided and alienated from himself, he is alienated from others.  Value 
judgments, such as good or bad, beautiful or ugly, valuable or worthless, are 
always determined by the frame of reference or perspective of the beholder 
and "To the pure in heart-all is pure."
	"A house divided cannot long endure." This applies not only to 
individuals but to whole societies.  Let's take a look at the consequences of 
the micro view in our society.  The first and most important social 
institution of any society is the family for it molds the basic character 
traits of all its new members.
	Historically, the egocentric view of paramount loyalty to one's own 
self was tempered by teaching loyalty to the family, which was measured by 
degrees of blood kinship.  While micro man has paid lip service to the 
mystical concept of the spiritual brotherhood of all men, he has never felt 
the true meaning of this sub-macro concept and, thus, has never been able to 
practice it.
	However, micro man has been able to learn a lesser ethnocentric 
loyalty to his tribe, his society, his culture, and his nation.  Thus, micro 
man has learned to identify with those, who on the surface, look, talk, and 
believe like himself.  It is interesting that many primitive tribal names mean 
literally "the People," revealing that those outside the tribe were not really 
human and could justly be treated in a non-human fashion.
	I remember that as a soldier in the Second world War I saw many posters 
depicting the Japanese and German soldier as blood-thirsty beasts, and we were 
carefully indoctrinated to think of the enemy as a non-human beast deserving 
to be destroyed.  Of course, this micro view, exhalting "me" and "us" against 
"them," has always been the one essential ingredient in any callous, 
indifferent, and brutal treatment of others. Selfishness, conflict, and war 
are always the products of a micro view.
	Psychologists and psychiatrists have long proclaimed that the child 
learns his self-concept and his concept of others during his early years in 
the family.  They have presented many studies to show that early malnutrition
irrevocably damages intellectual growth.  Perhaps even more important are the 
studies that show the effects of early emotional deprivation.  Babies given 
completely adequate diets but denied loving care and handling have sickened 
and died.  More dangerous to society are those who survive early emotional 
deprivation but are permanently damaged emotionally and intellectually.  No 
society can long survive if it has to carry too many of these non-productive 
and destructively unbalanced citizens.
	It is, however, the complex, interdependent, modern industrial 
society, which is most dependent on a high level of emotional and intellectual 
stability in its members, that has contributed  most to the  breakdown of the 
family.  For the modern urban society has replaced the farm family that 
worked and lived together, with an urban family in which often both parents 
worked away from the family and frequently spend little time even living 
together.  Also, the traditional extended family with grandparents and uncles 
and aunts living under the same roof has been replaced by the nuclear family 
with only the immediate parents and children living together.  This, along with 
the necessity in modern society for frequent moving around the country, leaves 
the nuclear family too often cut off from any permanent roots or lose human 
relationships.
	While modern society needs larger, well balanced emotional and 
intellectual viewpoints, it has actually intensified the micro superficial 
viewpoint by ignoring the early emotional and intellectual environment of its 
members. While the extended family inculcitated a narrow identity and 
loyalty to kinsmen. it still provided for handling and care of children and a 
secure long term contact and identification.  The answers to the fundamental 
questions of who am I, where did I come from, and where am I going, were micro 
simple but self evident in the traditional extended family.
	It is no accident that our society faces an alienated younger 
generation which demonstrates it emotional and intellectual imbalance by 
massive revolt against social institutions, such as schools and 
governments-but  against parents and all older people Hippies and Yippies 
and the S.D.S. were the inevitable consequences of a long term identity 
crisis due to the failure of the socializing institutions, such as first the 
family, then the religious, educational, and government institutions.
	how did these institutions fail in socializing new members?  Basically, 
they failed to practice what they preached.  They failed to perform the 
functions they were set up to perform!
	The family failed to provide the tender loving care and handling of 
children.  The church preached loving one another and the brotherhood of man 
but almost totally failed to practice these concepts.  The schools were to 
provide intellectually and emotionally maturing courses and teachers which 
would prepare the young for satisfying adult lives.  Instead, they provided 
teachers and courses that too frequently stunted emotional and intellectual 
growth and an overall program which was mostly irrelevant to major childhood 
needs and almost totally irrelevant to the major adult needs of a modern 
society.  The government, which was supposed to supply unity and harmony by 
developing and administering just laws for all, fostered greater division, 
injustice, and inequality by prostituting itself to the few powerful micro men 
who controlled it in behalf of their own selfish, vested interests.
	Since the family is so crucially important to the success of any 
society or nation, surely there should be stringent and carefully planned 
rules governing its formation and subsequent operation. In a society that 
requires it medical practitioners to pass literally thousands of educational 
tests before being certified, the prospective parent is usually required to 
pass only two-one for age and the other for syphilis.  There are no tests for 
emotional and intellectual stability in spite of the known fact that parents 
must provide these qualities in abundance if children are to learn them and 
thus become productive members of society.
	A society that permits almost anyone to become a parent and then almost 
completely ignores how these parents provide (or do not provide!) for the 
emotional and intellectual needs of their children-deserves to perish-and it 
shall.
	Studies of the lives of most slum and ghetto children are enough to 
wring tears from the proverbial stone-but not from micro man.  His life is so 
narrow and emotionally impoverished that he has no tears left for anyone but 
himself.  His vision is so narrow that he is truly blind to even his own vital 
needs, much less someone else's.
	obviously, there are many types of intellectual and emotional 
impoverishment.  The doctors of Medicine, Law, or Philosophy, who have 
received ostensibly the best education our society can provide, constantly 
demonstrates the inadequacies of this education in the quality (or lack 
thereof) of their micro self-centered lives.  Their typical responses to the 
truly desperate problems of our society have been either to ignore them or 
condemn others for causing them.
	If the leaders of a society are unable or unwilling to provide 
dedicated and unselfish leadership, chaos is inevitable.  But the leaders of 
tomorrow are always products of the family and educational system of today.  
This vicious cycle seems impossible to overcome, but there is hope.  This hope 
does not exist from a micro perspective but only from sub-macro and macro 
perspectives which will be presented in the next two chapters.  However, 
before we can go on to larger views, let us first examine some more examples 
or consequences in our society of the micro viewpoint.
	The harmonious, cooperative, and planned society is impossible for 
micro man since basically he subscribes to a self-centered "Me First" 
philosophy.  He has no higher ideal than satisfying his own micro needs and 
always in the long run, at the expense of others.  The basic altruistic ideal 
of Christianity depicted in the life of Christ-self sacrifice for the good of 
others-is blasphemy and idiocy to micro man. It is this narrow, self centered 
micro philosophy, which begins with the micro family, that produces all the 
ills that flesh is heir to.
	As a social psychologist I have spent many years reading and studying 
about the social institutions of society and their interdependent structures 
and functions. However, I always found the family, our culture's basic 
primary group, the most interesting of these institutions in terms of cultural 
transmission or, from another point of view, brainwashing the next generation. 
Some of my counselees need help in learning to cope with their children, 
their parents, or their spouse, but the vast majority need help in learning to 
cope with the destructive effects of the micro family on personality 
development.
	The micro family begins when two emotionally and intellectually 
immature persons form a neurotic dependency relationship dedicated to 
supplying immediate gratification of temporary self-centered needs.  Children 
of this union are either unwanted accidents, or serve to enhance the self 
centered needs of the parents. In either case, the children of micro parents 
are never valued for themselves but always as objects to be manipulated for the 
greater satisfaction of the parent's micro needs.  Because micro man is 
divided and uncomfortable with himself he can never feel comfortable for any 
length of time with others.  Therefore, the closer he lives with another 
person the more conflict is generated since the pursuit of self-centered need 
always produces conflict with others.
	Thus, children born of micro parents enter an environment of both 
covert and overt hostility and disharmony.  With the advent of children the 
mother can usually no longer work, and the family income goes down just when 
financial needs go up.  No micro mother has been educated to function as child 
nurse, child psychologist, child teacher, plus cleaning woman, wash woman, 
cook and nutrition expert, plus economy shopping expert,chauffeur,husband 
entertainer and mistress.  Locked into this impossibly demanding life it is no 
wonder that she becomes frustrated and fights with her dissatisfied husband.  
The  husband is dissatisfied with his wife because he feels trapped in a 
marriage with an unhappy complaining woman who has neither time nor energy to 
entertain him, support his insecure ego, and satisfy his sexual needs.  
Unconsciously both husband and wife displace their hostility and frustration 
upon the children.
	As for the children of these micro parents, they are soon overwhelmed 
by an all-pervading sense of failure and inadequacy to cope with the 
impossible demands of their frustrated parents.  The more the children try not 
to cry, not to make messes, and not to disturb Mother and Father, the more 
their own frustration builds and the more they do disturb their parents.  It 
is not long before the children are as emotionally and intellectually crippled
as their parents.  Then, as soon as possible, the children escape this 
frustrating environment to get married themselves and perpetuate the crippling 
cycle.
	What are the child's needs that the micro family fail to supply?  
first-tender loving care.  Second-richly varied and stimulating humans to 
learn symbolic (verbal and numerical) thinking and a life philosophy with a 
positive and adequate self concept.  All three needs must be met in order to 
produce an emotionally and intellectually adequate human. If the micro family 
fails in providing for these needs, how about the schools?
	By and large, the major function of U.S. education in the past 50 
years has been to inculcitate middle class values and act a a gate keeper for 
social success.  In general, the grade schools have been preparing children 
for high schools and high schools have been preparing children for college.  
The irony of the situation was that the vast majority did not go on to 
college and, thus, received secondary consideration and an extremely limited 
education in preparation for a successful life.  Those who went on to college 
and eventually graduated received a powerful middle class seal of approval-the 
college degree.
	Along with the college degree went the tacit assumption that the holder 
had demonstrated outstanding skill in pleasing the middle class guardians of 
the social order-teachers.  To a much lesser, but still significant, extent 
the high school diploma was valuable in obtaining this same sort of social 
prestige and economic opportunities.
	however, the supreme irony of the high school diploma and the college 
degree was that neither of these ultimate educational awards required any 
training or knowledge in the one most important area-human behavior.  The 
wisest the human race has ever produced have all agreed that the most 
important knowledge is-self knowledge. "Know thyself" was the first 
commandment of the ancient wise men.  But, instead, our educational system has
for one generation after another, placed its major emphasis on coercing 
children into memorizing vast amount of facts. mostly irrelevant.  this rote 
memorization of facts is not only irrelevant to greater self knowledge, but 
it is actually destructive to the desire for learning.
	How well I remember the many hours devoted to memorizing geometric 
theorems, declensions of Latin nouns and the endless historical dates and 
trivia.  none of these highly revered (by my teachers) facts held any interest 
for me nor have they subsequently proven to be on any practical value.  The 
vast majority of my educational activities, deemed so important by my teachers 
during the 21 years of my formal education, have proven worthless and totally 
irrelevant in preparing me for a happy, healthy, well balanced life.  In fact, 
the tremendous amount's of time and energy devoted to learning this nonsense 
drastically interfered with my attempts to learn about myself and my fellow 
man.
	Yet, today, millions of school children throughout the world are still 
being coerced to memorize irrelevant facts so they can pass irrelevant tests 
which lead to what--a higher educational level of memorized irrelevant facts in 
order to pass irrelevant tests which lead to more of the same.  It is no 
accident that so many high school and college students are revolted with and. 
therefore, revolting against our mostly irrelevant educational system.
	Not long ago my 8th grade daughter was asked to memorize all the major 
rivers of Europe and Asia and the capitols of all the Eurasian states as well 
as our 50 states, their capitols, and their state parks!  She was asked at the 
same time to struggle with a foreign language and the complexities of modern 
math and algebra.  However, I did honestly inform her that during my ten years 
as a successful business man and later as a college professor I have NEVER 
encountered a situation in which I needed that type of knowledge?  How many 
of us EVER need that type of knowledge?  What a gross waste of those precious 
learning years.
	By and large our teachers are selected for their ability to conform to 
the narrow rigidities of our educational system.  They are never selected on 
the basis of a demonstrated ability to be open and loving, to be deeply aware 
of themselves and others, or to be emotional and intellectually stimulating 
and well balanced.  On the contrary, the vast majority of our teachers are 
the rigid self-alienated products of our rigid self-alienated educational 
system. Thus, the three basic needs of our children (love, exploration, and 
intellectually stimulating human beings) are almost completely denied our 
children by a micro educational system.
	For years micro man, with his limited self-centered view of life, has 
paid little attention to the lack of quality or equality of opportunity 
provided by our educational system. Today he is reaping the consequences of 
this neglect.  one example (hundreds could be cited) has been the deliberate 
policy of southern white vested interests to deny adequate education to 
black and poor whites in order to insure a cheap labor supply.  This was of no 
concern to citizens of other parts of the country.  However, with the vast 
migration of rural southern blacks and poor whites to northern urban areas, 
the white north became concerned.
	Human beings who have been exploited and emotionally and intellectually 
crippled make exceedingly poor citizens.  It is no accident that the crime rate 
and social welfare rate have been rising so swiftly.  These crippled human 
beings are literally unable to cope with the highly complex demands of our 
modern industrial urban society.  What is the solution?  There is no solution-
at least-there is no micro solution.
	Micro man distrusts his government officials-and rightly so.  He knows 
that they are just like himself-usually willing to serve only their own micro 
needs.  Let us look at micro government and see how the micro policy of serving 
short term selfish needs must inevitably cause ever greater problems for micro 
man.
	The thousands and thousands of small independent governmental units 
throughout our land have sown chaos through their short sightedness such 
as-stubborn refusal to cooperate with other government units.  A single large 
metropolitan area may have over 100 police departments-all locally controlled 
and jealously refusing to share facilities or cooperate with each other.  This 
same large metropolitan area may have over 1000 separate taxing districts.  
Each state has such a vast number of varied and different laws that a lawyer 
in one state is not qualified to practice in another state.  Where divorce is 
easy in one state it is almost impossible to obtain in another.  where a 
certain action is deemed a crime by one state, it is not by another.
	for many years towns and cities have dumped raw sewage into rivers in 
spite of the fact that they obtained most of their drinking water from these 
same rivers and have had to spend more and more money on water purifying 
stations.  Many cities complained bitterly about upriver cities polluting 
their water but turned right around and dumped their own raw sewage in the 
river, thus, refusing to cooperate with their own down river neighbors.
	Because micro man refuses to cooperate with his fellow man he has 
polluted his rivers and lakes until their beauty and wildlife have mostly been 
destroyed.  He is now in the process of polluting his atmosphere until he 
himself will be destroyed-unless he learns to cooperate.  But from a limited 
micro point of view it just makes no sense to cooperate-let the other guy 
cooperate.
	As for taxes, everyone agrees they are unequally applied, and when it 
is possible for hundreds of our countries richest people to pay almost no 
taxes this inequality is blatantly apparent.  Certainly a property tax system 
which encourages ghetto owners not to improve their property is short sited, 
to say the least. Then there's the strangling tradition that local education 
must be supported by local property taxes, which leaves poor areas unable to 
supply their children with even the most minimal educational opportunities.  
However, as has been noted, these poor children will move to the richer areas 
when they grow up and due to their grossly inadequate training, become public 
charges and public problems for the richer areas.  
	our Federal government of checks and balances was set up under the 
correct assumption that micro man is not to be trusted to do anything but serve 
his own narrow selfish interests.  Thus, we have a House of Representatives 
divided against itself in terms of equal representation of all the local 
vested interests within each state.  Because micro man worships money and 
property it was left to the States to determine who should vote and to 
gerrymander legislative districts so that vested interests could control the 
government.  Thus, the poor were, for all practical purposes disfranchised.
	To lead this government we have had a President who is elected by an 
Electoral college whose members are appointed by the vested interests because 
these same vested interests could not trust the poor to elect a President.  
And, of course, the Supreme court members are appointed by this president and 
approved by the Senate.
	Our Federal Government is the best system ever designed to control 
micro man by enshrining micro selfish interests.  In the long run, however, it 
has not worked, and is not working, to provide a harmonious and healthy 
society-because micro government run by micro man and dedicated to the 
protection and pursuit of micro pleasure and micro property does not care 
about others or the future.
	The success of any government is totally dependent on the degree of 
self awareness and enlightenment of its citizens.  This, of course, is true 
for all social institutions and all human relationships.  Micro man, from his 
limited perspective, sees himself as separate and alienated from all others.  
Micro man must be true to his vision-his god-his own micro self.
	Thus micro man can only produce a micro government and a micro society 
unconsciously dedicated to selfishness and conflict.  Since micro man is 
filled with fear and self hate, due to feelings of inadequacy and weakness, he 
likes to forget and deny this fear of weakness by triumphing over others 
either actually or vicariously.  Killing animals for sport is one way.  While 
micro man does not like being hurt by others he enjoys blood sports in which 
others are hurt and even killed.  The bloodier the boxing match the more he 
likes it.  Most hunting done today is killing for the love of killing-not for 
food and survival.
	Micro man likes guns for they help a weak person feel strong.  He likes 
violence, when not painfully directed against himself, so his movies and TV 
programs are filled with violence and his national past time is either 
fighting a war or preparing for one.
	Micro man is paranoid.  He is suspicious, to some degree of everyone 
he encounters.  To protect his material possessions (his body and other 
property) he will maim and kill others in self righteous joy.  The 
congressional medal of Honor, the highest award of the United States is for 
bravery in battle and for spectacularly killing large numbers of our fellow 
man temporarily called the enemy.
	The closest micro man ever gets to feeling god-like power is when he 
is hurting, destroying, and killing others.  Only then can he most 
successfully deny and hide from his own weakness and self hate, for his micro 
society will then reward him with medals,fame, and glory.  If micro man cannot 
hurt and kill others in a spectacular fashion himself, he can see movies which 
help him temporarily identify and become one with the likes of Jesse James, 
Dillinger, Bonnie and Clyde or James bond-to name just a few micro heroes.
	The micro viewpoint is always, in the long run, self destructive 
because it is a massive denial of reality-of the interdependence of all 
life-of the indivisible oneness of the macrocosmic whole.
	The selfish micro viewpoint, limited in time and space, must 
eventually give away to a larger perspective.  Why must this take place? In 
the next chapter I will attempt to answer this question along with examining 
the nature and consequences of the sub-macro viewpoint.

Note:	The authors projection as to how society will be during the major part 
of the Aquarian Age seems to have a serious flaw in that it seems to be 
somewhat out of context with macro philosophy.  Never-the-less, the concept of 
Macro-philosophy and the sub-macro view itself seems sound enough.

				CHAPTER 4



			   THE SUB-MACRO VIEW



	The sub-macro perspective sees each man as an immortal soul containing 
memory of every thought, action and experience from the beginning of its 
creation, which was prior to the creation of the dimensions of time and space.  
The soul is not infinite but since it transcends time and space it can never 
be fully understood or comprehended by the finite micro-mind and perspective.
	This soul or sub-macro self contains the micro self which is limited 
by time and space.  Perhaps one of the best analogies depicting the 
relationship of the sub-macro self to the micro self was presented by 
Shakespeare when he said:"All the world is a stage and all the men and women 
merely players."  Actually, the micro self is a role or player composed of a 
limited human personality encased in, and bound by, a physical and astral body 
(this latter body being  unknown  to almost all of mankind incarnated at 
present).  The soul plays many roles and, as part of its evolution, experiences 
the micro dimensions of the universe.
	Like any good actor, while playing  a role the soul temporarily 
forgets other roles it has played and even forgets that it is playing a role.  
In other words, in order to experience and learn the micro dimensions(as it 
must ultimately learn all dimensions in order to be a complete companion of 
God) the soul chose to temporarily limit its awareness by selecting a 
physical body with intelligence so limited that this micro person would be 
totally unaware that he or she is a temporary creation of his or her own soul 
or sub-macro self.
	Since every micro being, by definition, has limited awareness of the 
nature and origin of his being, he cannot possibly understand or really accept 
that he is the temporary creation of his own soul.  Thus, if micro man attempts 
to read this book he can only scoff at what must appear to his limited mind as 
being incredible nonsense.
	However, from a sub-macro view there are no simple dichotomies of 
right-wrong, black-white, macro-micro, but only continuum concepts.  Thus, 
from a larger perspective one sees that the parts or roles the soul plays vary 
in degrees of awareness from ultimate micro to ultimate macro.  It must 
experience all roles sooner or later, although the time spent playing any 
specific role depends on how long it takes that particular soul to master all 
the lessons offered by that role.
	Therefore, it follows that every human falls somewhere along the 
continuum of greater or lesser awareness of his sub-macro and macro origins.  
As the micro self was created by the sub-macro self or soul, the sub-macro 
self was, in turn, created by the macro self or God.-and for exactly the same 
purpose-to experience the dimensions of awareness.
	Thus, the human being who has considerable sub-macro awareness knows 
that all other human are souls temporarily playing micro parts and, most 
importantly, he can remember to some extent, his own past roles (lives).
Naturally, the advanced sub-macro person cannot condemn or become angry with 
anyone regardless of what any person may do, for he knows "they know not what 
they do."  He knows this because he remembers when he played the same ignorant 
role.  He knows too that all sin is the product of micro thinking, called 
selfishness, which is the product of TEMPORARY amnesia or unawareness.
	Because we are all souls temporarily playing micro parts, those who 
scoff at the ideas presented in this book are merely playing perfectly and 
unconscious role.  They will not be condemned by any evolved sub-macro being 
anymore than a playwright would condemn actors for playing perfectly the parts 
he had created.
	As Shakespeare also said, even in one lifetime we play many roles 
(parts). the lovable babe may become the pimply faced, rebellious, 
self-centered teenager, and later may become a handsome dignified judge, and 
much later a senile drooling old man.  In my own present life, I have played 
the role of student and teacher, son and father, athlete and scholar, soldier 
and civilian, brave man and cowardly man, wise man and foolish man, criminal 
and policeman, married and divorced man, lazy and industrious, loving and 
hating, and many more.  What is the value of all these parts?  I am more aware 
now than I was, and because I will continue to play many parts I will be more 
aware next year than I am now.
	The purpose of the soul in playing many parts (many of them 
exceedingly painful) is not to acquire greater intellectual knowledge, but to 
acquire greater self awareness or wisdom.  Actually micro man's pride in  his 
intellectual knowledge is one of his major obstacles in obtaining wisdom.  
History reveals that the leading intellectuals of all micro times and places 
have laughed at, ignored, imprisoned, burned, or crucified the wise men of 
their time.  The charge of heresy is always the charge of micro man who prides 
himself on his knowledge of what is right and wrong-proper and improper-wise 
and foolish.
	However, the self-righteous, intellectual snob is playing a very 
difficult and ultimately very painful role-I know, for I've played it more 
than once-but from a sub-macro view this role can be enjoyed, appreciated, and 
sympathized with just as one would respond to a perfectly performed play.  And 
from a sub-macro view we know that no soul will play this role too many times 
because it is just too wearing.  Why? Because the role is produced and 
maintained by micro beliefs which produce massive insecurity and fear of new 
and different ideas and experiences.  Then, of course, this fear and 
insecurity, produce rigid, narrow, prisonlike lives in order to avoid new and 
different ideas and experiences.  Altogether a miserable existence.
	Thus, the micro view incorporated in a micro role is, in the long 
run,self destroying and will be given up by the soul because of sheer pain and 
boredom.  It would, for example, be extremely painful and boring for an adult 
mind to be imprisoned in the body of a new born baby and required to play this 
role after having previously fully learned and experienced it.
	From a narrow time span, human behavior sometimes appears to be totally 
devoid of any learning.  Examples of this are the seemingly endless human 
fear, anger, hate and wars, or persons afflicted with alcoholism and drug 
addiction for many years who finally die of their affliction. Actually, from 
the larger sub-macro perspective, it is seen that the soul chooses to play 
extremely narrow micro roles relatively few times and for relatively few years 
compared to the vast amount of time it devotes to sub-macro roles.
	However, in the relatively short time of recorded history (five or six 
thousand years) most sub-macro roles were being played in other dimensions 
than this earth one.  From micro view this would, naturally, seem impossible. 
Since micro man has forgotten his infinite past, he views with alarm not only 
his own future but that of the whole human race.
	Of course, from the short term point of view micro man is right about 
the future-it is filled with gigantic catastrophes that will ultimately destroy 
every micro role and life.  But from a sub-macro view that is good because it 
meant the end of micro suffering, selfishness, and sins. In other words "The 
meek shall inherit the Earth." (Matthew 5:5)
	Another sub-macro way of thinking about the future is to view this 
earth as a school which, in the past, has been devoted mainly to kindergarten 
and the primary grades but which will soon be redecorated, cleaned up and made 
into an intermediate school for more advanced students.  The beginning 
students think it's terrible that they are going to lose their school.  They 
are not aware that in the future they will reincarnate and become one of the 
advanced students using this new new/old school.
	What are some of the sub-macro concepts that will be taught in this 
new school-the sub-macro world of the future?
	A fundamental sub-macro concept states that all learning is 
remembering, since the macro mind already knows all.  Only at sub-macro levels 
of awareness is anything new possible.  These levels were created so that 
souls can experience the excitement and challenge of novelty, newness, problem 
solving and all learning.
	Another concept will be that this world is a school.  Instead of the 
micro concept of learning, in which human learning capacity reaches a peak at 
about the age of 25 and from then on diminishes, learning will be viewed as 
forever cumulative.  The micro learning curve presented by micro psychologists
shows that learning ability for the average person begins to deteriorate at 
about age 25 (see fig. 1).

Fig 1.

The micro learning curve shows that learning is very rapid in the early years 
and then begins to  quickly taper off.  The reason for this is that it takes a 
while for the child to learn (or remember) that it is bad to fail (that is ,to 
be rejected or look silly or stupid in the eyes of others).  Once he begins 
learning this, he starts trying to avoid failure experience by limiting his 
explorative learning experiences.  The more the mind focuses on failure and 
how terrible it would be to experience failure, the more energy is devoted to 
negative fearful avoidance behavior and the more rigid and less spontaneous 
the behavior.
	By the time micro man has entered his middle twenties, he has learned 
to be so fearful of being rejected or looking silly and stupid in the eyes of 
others that his rate of learning is decelerating.  The more he attempts to 
avoid failure, the more his mind focuses on possible failure situations and 
the more failure prone he becomes.  This vicious circle eventually reduces 
learning experiences so greatly and produces so much stress that micro man 
literally dies from attempt to avoid failure.  He wears himself out by 
refusing to learn (remember) the necessary survival behavior.
	However the  sub-macro learning curve (see Fig 2) is actually a series 
of ascending and descending cumulative curves which demonstrate that , while 
nothing is ever forgotten by the sub-conscious mind, insight occurs only when 
there are sufficient experiences to produce the critical insight level or 
prepotent need and predisposing frame of reference.  The limited micro view 
sees things as forever getting worse or forever getting better but never 
realizing the cause of things getting better or worse.

	Life, as viewed from micro man's limited perspective is often viewed 
as bad and getting worse.  So micro man tries to cling to the past and avoid 
new, possibly painful, experiences.  In this way micro man tries to maximize 
pleasure and avoid pain.  however, all life is composed of both pleasure and 
pain, up and down, black and white, ugly and beautiful and man can only 
experience one to the extent he experiences the other.  for example, pleasure
is meaningful only in relation to pain, and thus, to the extent that one has 
experienced pain one can experience (be aware of) pleasure.
	Only from a micro view is pain bad and something to be avoided at all 
costs. From the sub-macro view it is obvious that the more one tries to avoid 
the inevitable the more frustrated, fearful, and angry one must become.  Since 
all learning, all life, is a series of ups and downs, pleasure and pain, 
ugliness and beauty, it is obviously impossible to successfully avoid for 
very long, the other half of life.  Thus, from the sub-macro  perspective, 
life is never viewed as terrible and horrible but always as interesting and 
challenging.  For pain or ugliness or even pleasure is only terrible or 
horrible if it is believed to be forever.  Hell is terrible because it is pain 
and ugliness forever.  Heaven would be Hell if all one could experience is the 
pleasure of playing on a harp or viewing the same beautiful scene.  Sub-macro 
man knows that Hell is the product of micro thinking (trying to avoid half 
of life) and Heaven is the product of Macro thinking-accepting all as macro 
perfect.
	It is impossible for micro men to understand that ancient sub-macro 
beings who said "resist not evil" or "When rape is inevitable lie back and 
enjoy it." Recently it has been recognized by the medical profession that 
the attempt to resist what micro man views as evil or unpleasant experiences 
produces stress which wears out our bodies and causes premature death to all 
micro men (Hans Seyle,"The Stress of Life").
	Life is never a hopeless and unsolvable problem for sub-macro man.  He 
knows that all learning is the product of sufficient desire or will (prepotent 
desire) and sufficient state of readiness or preparedness (predisposing frame 
of reference).  When a student desires to learn Algebra more than anything 
(prepotent desire) and has sufficiently prepared himself by first learning 
addition and subtraction, multiplication and division (predisposing frame of 
reference)  there is no problem-learning takes place.  The greatest sub-macro 
being of our planet stated this same idea by saying "Ask and you shall 
receive, seek and you shall find, knock and the door shall be opened, for 
everyone who asks-receives." (Matthew 7:7)
	Of course this is exactly micro man's problem- he DOES get everything 
he desires and prepares himself for  (this will be discussed at greater length 
in the chapter on contemplation).  But when he gets it-he often finds that 
before long he doesn't want it anymore.  He is disappointed because 
nothing remains the same.  He does not realize that one cannot have pleasure 
without first experiencing pain, since all life is an ever continuing cycle 
of pleasure, pain, awaking-sleeping,light-dark, life-death, etc.
	One example of micro man getting what he desires is the rich 
millionaire who has all the possessions that micro man worships but lives in 
fear that he will lose them.  He knows that others will take away his 
possessions any way they can.  He knows that he is weak and inadequate without 
his great possessions.  The more he has pursued great possessions the more 
rigid, narrow, and self centered his life had become.  The curse of King Midas 
was deadly boredom due to the loss of variety and balance-all was gold.  Hell 
is ALL gold-all pleasure-forever-just what micro man thinks he wants most. 
Obviously he is doomed to disappointment.
	When micro man's disappointment becomes great enough to produce a 
sub-macro prepotent desire and sub-macro predisposing frame of reference, he 
develops wisdom.  For all learning is the product of failure, pain, and 
dissatisfaction.  No one gives up a satisfying, successful behavior pattern 
(life situation) unless he believes he can find more satisfaction doing 
something else.  Thus, the greater pain and dissatisfaction with any 
experience, the greater the motivation to learn how to improve the situation.
	However,micro solutions to pain and dissatisfaction are successful only 
temporarily and, in the long run, produce even more pain and dissatisfaction.  
These micro solutions have been called psychological defense mechanisms, which 
deny reality.  For example, repressing or forgetting, blaming others and 
fantasy, along with alcohol, drugs and tranquilizers all reduce awareness of 
pain or dissatisfaction but do not remove the cause, for the cause is micro 
thinking which produces maladaptive behavior.  When micro man has tried all 
the ways to deny reality, pain, and his own responsibility for causing it, 
and completely and totally failed, he develops a prepotent desire and a 
sub-macro predisposing frame of reference.  In other words he asks for help 
from his Creator-his own soul, greater mind, or sub-macro self. And "Everyone 
who asks-receives."
	When the student is ready (and willing) the solution to any problem 
becomes obvious.  For when one asks his Creator-the Sub-macro self-he is 
contacting his own greater mind, unlimited by time and space,and, thus, 
indivisible from the universal mind (macro self) which knows and is aware of 
everything.  Thus, no problem is unsolvable when man gives up micro solutions 
and asks for sub-macro or macro solutions.  In other words,all problems are 
solved by sufficient expansion of awareness or perspective which inevitably 
occur, for micro solutions only produce more pain in the long run,and, at 
last, total failure.  It is this total micro failure that produces sub-macro 
man.
	P=r+d is the sub-macro formula for all learning or expansion of 
awareness.  In this formula P stands for the degree or size of the perspective 
(awareness), while r stands for the degree of readiness and d stands for the 
amount of desire  When r = a predisposing frame of reference,, and d = a 
prepotent desire, then P = the solution to the problem (sufficiently expanded 
perspective).  THIS FORMULA IS THE KEY TO MACRO PHILOSOPHY.
	It  logically follows from the above that THE SOLUTION TO ANY PROBLEM 
IS THE FUNCTION OF THE SIZE OF ONE'S PERSPECTIVE.  Thus, all problems can and 
will be solved when we have learned to expand our self awareness (perspective) 
sufficiently.  Since the micro self controls the over-all evolutionary law of 
the universe, neither the sub-macro self or micro self can deviate beyond its 
creator's over-all plan.  Thus, micro man must evolve into macro man.
	Before discussing this ultimate macro view, it is appropriate to look 
at a few sub-macro life styles.
	When a majority of sub-macro beings are incarnated on this 3rd planet 
from our sun, the social institutions of the family, government, church, 
business, and education will be very different from their present micro forms. 
During the next two thousands years of the Aquarian Age more and more 
sub-macro beings will incarnate until a sub-macro culture and society will 
permeate human relationships in all parts of the planet. A relatively more 
detailed projection of this future sub-macro society is presented in Chapter 15 
and in our book, 2150, "The Macro Love Story."
	Obviously, the micro family is doomed to perish by its own hand.   
Since it has exhalted and perpetuated the we/other divisions which have caused 
all the many ethnocentric conflicts and wars, the micro family is just too 
costly in human life and happiness to be continued.  Just as we now forbid 
children to play with matches or lethal weapons, in the future micro man will 
be forbidden to raise children and highly restricted in giving birth to them.
Since the most crucial learning periods occur in the first six years of 
childhood, all children under the age of six will be cared for by the wisest 
and most loving members of society.
	Formal education will be practical and appropriate to the person's 
evolutionary stage of development and will last to the age of thirty. 
Education will emphasize physical, mental, and spiritual development.  Each of 
these areas will be viewed as equal parts of a balanced whole which is always 
controlled by the mind.  It will be recognized that the sub-macro purpose of 
all souls is the expansion of self awareness until complete macro awareness 
is attained.  Thus, both the formal education period of the first 30 year's 
and the informal education period of all the following years will be devoted 
to expanding self awareness.  It will be recognized that maximizing the 
quality of human relationships increases the number of learning experiences 
which, in turn, accelerates the expansion of self-awareness.
	Since sub-macro man views all humans as spiritual brothers and 
sisters, he cannot engage in war or kill anyone for any reason-not even to 
save his own physical life. From the larger sub-macro perspective, past lives 
and past roles are remembered, therefore, sub-macro man knows the truth of 
such sayings as, "For whatever measure you deal out to others, it shall be 
dealt back to you in return," or "As you sow so shall you reap."  This is why 
macro man always lives the Golden Rule.
	In a society in which everyone almost always treats others as himself 
there can be no poverty, malnutrition, or starvation, very little crime or 
selfish-exploitative economic activities, no corrupt governments or churches, 
no prisons to foster micro views by segregating micro beings together, and no 
riots, rebellions, or wars.
	Since from a macro perspective all is one, the more evolved sub-macro 
beings will live in harmony with all living creatures.  No living creature will 
be killed, for it will not be a threat or irritant to high sub-macro man.  Nor 
will any living creature be needed for food.
	When mankind has evolved to the point where he can remember his past 
and see "The Kingdom of God which lies within," then there can be no divisive 
religions or religious sects.  In fact, there can be only one religion in 
which all men and women are their own priests who communicate easily and 
often with their own higher self-God-the macro self.

				CHAPTER 5


			     THE MACRO VIEW



	From one frame of reference any perspective that is larger than another
one is macro in relation to the smaller (micro) one.   In this sense all great 
innovators have demonstrated macro, or greater, vision than their 
contemporaries.  the Wright brothers could see vast future possibilities for 
airplanes.  However, people around the Wright Brothers asked sensible micro 
questions such as: "What do you want with this dangerous and crazy flying 
machine?  Horses are safer, cheaper, and far more efficient transportation," 
all of which were true in 1903.
	The man with the greater vision is not only able to envision that 
there COULD be a telephone, but also the ways in which society could be changed 
by the use of the telephone.  From a micro view these visions of the future 
are ridiculous fantasy and a terrible waste of time--all true from a short 
term micro point of view.
	It is important to recognize that a person can have larger macro 
viewpoints in one or two areas and still have very limited micro viewpoints in 
other areas.  Thoreau could grasp the idea of reincarnation yet scorn the idea 
of a trans-Atlantic cable saying, "Man will never need to communicate across 
oceans faster than sailing a ship."
	Thus, a macro viewpoint may be held by a micro man who can be labeled 
micro because of the vast majority of his life perspectives are extremely 
limited.  Sub-macro man is not bound by any micro perspective.  By this I mean 
that his major life style is one of patience, kindness, understanding, and 
and love.  Sub-macro man can and does momentarily experience micro thoughts 
and feelings such as anger, fear, sorrow but he never gets caught in these 
perspectives and their resultant emotional binges. He never forgets more than 
momentarily, that he and all others are immortal souls created by his own 
macro self.
	Micro man lives in a selfish life dedicated to exalting the micro self; 
sub-macro man exalts everything (God-the macro self), since from a macro 
perspective he sees everything as perfect.  By this I mean in perfect balance, 
with all positive and negative aspects of the universe in perfect harmonious 
balance.
	Perhaps one of the most aggravating and difficult aspects for micro 
man to comprehend is the serenity, calmness, and loving acceptance of any 
person who is viewing the world through a macro perspective.  While no soul 
incarnated on this planet has maintained a macro perspective during the whole 
lifetime on Earth, many have attained momentary macro vision-a few such as 
Laotzu Guatama, and Jesus maintained macro perspectives longer than any others.
While caught up in the ecstasy of macro vision these men demonstrated macro 
love-perfect acceptance that all is one-all is God-all is perfect.  This state 
of macro awareness is always accompanied by a joyous but serene composure which 
baffles micro man who sees so much unbalanced evil and misery.
	While macro man often profess great belief in a macro-cosmic God, he 
cannot possibly effectively believe in something that he cannot know, 
experience, or even dimly imagine-with his micro perspective.  Of course, it 
is not what people say but what they do that demonstrates their true level of 
evolutionary awareness-"By their fruits you shall know them." Matthew 7:20
	Yet, micro man, regardless of what he says, is always filled with 
doubts, uncertainties, and a jumble of fundamental metaphysical questions.  
What is the nature of man, of truth, of evil, of beauty, of love, of God, of 
justice, of marriage, of eternity, etc.  Throughout history, learned 
intellectuals have been supplying answers to these questions, answers that 
have been profoundly clever and profoundly platitudinous but never truly 
satisfying to micro man.  However, the answers of the intellectuals did 
provide momentary satisfaction, which was more than the answers of the wise 
men.  Answers such as:" you must lose your life to gain it"; "You must give up 
all possessions to attain happiness"; "There is nothing good or bad but 
thinking it so makes it so"; and "all is Maya-illusion."
	obviously the above statements are nonsense from a micro perspective. 
 Yet, from a large enough perspective they are true and perfectly sensible.  
Certainly from a sub-macro perspective all death is birth into another life or 
state of awareness.  It is only by giving up anxious clinging to all 
possessions that one can free himself from fear and anxious inadequacies.   
Of course, "goodness or badness" truth or falsehood, beauty or ugliness are 
states of mind produced by the direction (positive or negative) and size of 
one's life perspective.  Finally, from a larger perspective, all micro reality 
is an illusion.  For example, the most solid substances are, from a different 
frame of reference merely tenuous, ever-changing electrical vibrations 
sometimes called neutrons, electrons, and protons.
	In spite of the inability of my micro and sub-macro perspectives to 
completely comprehend macro reality, I am writing this chapter about a macro 
viewpoint.  however, I do realize that I cannot capture in words the nature of 
macrocosmic awareness.  How do I even know it exists? Because I can remember 
some of the brief glimpses that I, like every soul, have had of our 
macrocosmic self.
	Intellect proves nothing.  It is only my experience of God-of 
macrocosmic awareness that proves(to me) my macro existence.  As a youth I was 
shocked to discover that my beloved science could prove nothing; that it could 
only accumulate evidence which increased the statistical probability that any 
hypothesis was true.
	Those who are looking for a scientific proof of the macro-cosmic nature 
of man are doomed to disappointment.   In this book I am not attempting to 
offer proof or to convince anyone of anything that is not, upon reflection, 
contemplation, and meditation, obvious to them.  I am offering ideas, 
perspectives or frames of reference for the reader to check out for himself.  
Here is my attempt to describe a monistic microcosm in our micro dualistic 
language.
	In the beginning there was no beginning and in the end there will be no 
end--only a beginning.  God, the macro self, always desired to be and yet not 
to be-to experience all and nothing (all the degrees of experiential awareness 
between microcosmic infinite nothingness and macrocosmic infinite allness).
	Why did our macro self desire anything?  Because the ultimate  nature 
of macro awareness is desire.  This infinite desire is both positive and 
negative, attraction and repulsion, and, in perfect balance, this produces 
perfect joy in all macro experiences-all macro awareness.
	All is mind composed of an infinite number of levels of awareness of 
the macro self.  At all levels there is cyclic progression and regression or 
existence and non-existence, of birth and death, of waking and sleeping, of 
beginning and ending, of evolution and devolution.  All is change, and this 
principle never changes.  anything that exists also does not exist and this is 
paradoxical only from a perspective which is less than totally macro.  From 
this ultimate macro perspective there are no positive or negative aspects, no 
beginning or ending.
	A universal symbol for this infinite macrocosmic whole, which is the 
macro self, has always been the perfect circle.  Everything is included in 
this circle and there is no outside or inside, up or down, except from a 
limited perspective.
	There are fittingly, two symbols for the sub-macro division of the 
macrocosm.  The first symbol is the continuously curving line that perfectly 
divides the circle into two halves called yin and yang by the followers of 
Laotzu, Chinese founder of Taoism. The other sub-macro symbol is a small 
circle divided by the curving yin-yang line within a larger circle.  The 
divided circle symbolizes that the soul (sub-macro self) is also composed of 
both positive and negative polarities just as the macro self.
	The soul from this perspective is seen to be contained within the 
macro self and to be an indivisible part of the macro self. However, just as 
the sub-macro self is contained within the macro self, so is the micro self 
contained within the sub-macro self.
	From a sub-macro view the soul was created by macro self, and since it 
had a beginning it will have an ending.  From the ultimate macro view there is 
no soul and yet there are souls which had a beginning and, thus, must have an 
ending.  As an example:  When I am thinking of my whole body I am not thinking 
of its individual parts.  My finger is an individual part of me but it is not 
me.   Yet when I look at my finger it is me.
	The sub-macro purpose, or soul purpose, is to experience all 
dimensions and degrees of microcosmic-macrocosmic awareness and, thus, 
becoming one with all by experiencing all.  Since the macro self was, is, and 
always will be experiencing everything and nothing, it  obviously has every 
purpose and no purpose.  To be and not to be, joyously forever, without 
beginning or ending is the one purpose. (One might comprehend this as the 
macro self operating outside the dimension of time and physical space where 
past, present and future is happening "simultaneously"-Ernie)
	Macro man is the macro self and, therefore, there is only one macro 
man who is simultaneously aware of everything.  Not being limited by time and 
space permits experiencing joyously the limitations of time and space while at 
the same time not being bound by any limitations.  This is the macro self and 
yet is not the macro self; paradoxes of paradoxes.
	Consider what the mystics call a cosmic day and night which is the 
duration of time from the beginning of all stars and planets in our universe 
to their ending.  This is only one cosmic day.  It is perfectly balanced by a 
cosmic night of the same time length in which there are no stars or 
planets-and no souls are aware of existence for they are all sleeping until 
the morning of the next cosmic day.  Of course, there are an infinite number 
of cosmic days and nights.
	Does the above paragraph touch off some deep pleasure and delight 
within you?  If it does, then you are to some degree getting a glimpse of 
macrocosmic awareness.  The greatest pleasure-the greatest joy-is the 
transcendental realization that all is one and all is perfect love-the macro 
view.
	As I have previously mentioned, macro man is the macro self.  However, 
from a micro view any sub-macro being would be called macro man.  On the other 
hand, sub-macro beings recognize that they are micro compared to more highly 
evolved beings whom they would call macro.   Of course, sub-macro beings 
recognize that ultimate macro man is one and indivisible and, thus, all human 
souls are micro divisions of the macrocosmic whole.  Therefore, the human soul 
is always sub-macro (less than macro but not limited by micro dimensions) and 
the human body (being created by the soul) is always micro and limited by time 
and space. (micro-dimensions).
	When my students ask questions about how macro man lives, I know they 
are referring to sub-macro beings who are macro from their micro perspective.  
I usually respond to this type of question by saying that I do not know how 
macro beings live since they live in such high vibration dimensions that I 
cannot perceive them.
	Often when I talk of macro beings or macro men, I remind my students 
that  I am referring to high level sub-macro beings who live beyond the 
dimensions of my awareness.  For a high level sub-macro being to incarnate on 
our planet would be like a college professor enrolling in kindergarten.  
College professors do not even teach below the college level.  Obviously, 
kindergarten children have no more contact or communication with college 
professors than you and I have with high level sub-macro beings.
	While micro man feels inferior to macro beings no macro being (high 
level sub-macro) feels himself superior to or better than anyone else. Just as 
an adult recognizes that he is more aware than a child, he knows that it is 
not a matter of being better or worse than the child, it is only a matter of 
awareness.  Since all degrees of awareness which are not macro are finite, 
then any state of awareness less than macro it only temporary.  Thus, all 
micro problems of limitation and inadequacy are only momentary and never 
perceived as problems from a macro view.
	Just as grade schools have generally been taught by college graduates 
with only one college degree, the wise men who have been the teachers of micro 
men have usually been low level sub-macro beings.  Jesus of Nazareth was the 
most highly evolved soul ever to incarnate on this planet.  He attained high 
level sub-macro awareness when he reached Christ Consciousness.  His one 
commandment (Love one another as I have loved you") is about as understandable 
to micro man as E=MC^2 is to kindergarten children.
	While this one commandment, the only macro commandment is not 
understandable from a a micro view, it is the only permanent solution to all 
micro problems.  Since perfect performance of this macro commandment requires 
total macro awareness, micro man feels it is impossible to perform, and gives 
up trying.  However, this is like saying if I can't have perfect happiness I 
will commit suicide.  Which is what micro man does when he refuses to even try 
to expand his awareness so that he can, to a greater degree, love his fellow 
man.
	Obviously what micro man does not realize is that all is really 
indivisibly one and, thus, HE CANNOT HATE ORE DISLIKE ANYTHING OR ANYONE 
WITHOUT FEELING THIS SAME WAY TOWARDS HIMSELF. 
	The law of cause and effect called Karma by some or Newton's Third law 
by others, demonstrates this oneness of all.  Thus, For every action there is 
an equal and opposite reaction," or  "As you sow so must you reap," or "for 
whatever measure you deal out to others it shall be dealt to you in return," or 
"If you do it to the least of them, you do it to me."

				CHAPTER 9


		MACRO PHILOSOPHERS AND MICRO RELIGIONS


	The three greatest wise men of recorded history were Laotzu, Guatama, 
and Jesus. All three of these men were highly evolved souls who spent at least 
the latter part of their final incarnation on this planet, at a middle or high 
sub-macro level.  They all taught the fundamental macro concept that all is 
one. To their most advanced disciples they taught the mysteries of the mM 
 (microcosmic-macrocosmic) continuum and the devolution (incarnation) and 
evolution of the soul along this continuum.  They were this worlds greatest 
macro philosophers for they not only taught that all is one, they also 
demonstrated and practiced this belief by loving unconditionally everyone and 
everything.
	 The disciples of these three sub-macro men found it extremely 
difficult to understand the working of their master's minds-about as difficult 
a task as a grade school child attempting to comprehend the mind of an 
Einstein.  Nevertheless, the disciples, who were either very high level micro 
or very low level sub-macro, attempted to understand the macro philosophy of 
their masters well enough to teach it and later to write about it.  However, 
they were seriously handicapped since only high level sub-macro beings can 
fully comprehend and practice macro philosophy.
	Laotzu, the Chinese sage of approximately 700 B.C. taught that if 
there was no evil, ugliness, or foolishness there could not be any goodness, 
beauty, or wisdom.  This confused and confounded many of his followers.  He, 
then, further bewildered his disciples by insisting that all is perfect from a 
whole or macro viewpoint.  It was only many years after Laotzu had chosen to 
excarnate (without losing consciousness) that his followers established the 
religion or philosophy of Tao or Taoism and struggled with the problems of 
micro social organizations.  His followers believed that Laotzu had taught and 
demonstrated great and wondrous things with great power, but what exactly had 
happened and how it was accomplished was beyond micro man's comprehension.
	At approximately the same time in India, the disciples of Siddartha 
Gautama, called Buddha (Enlightened one), were struggling to understand the 
paradoxical teachings of a man who claimed that freedom from illusion (Maya or 
micro bondage) was the product of giving up all desire.  He taught that when a 
soul has evolved to this level of macrocosmic awareness (Nirvana) it is no 
longer bound to the wheel of life (necessity for reincarnation), for it is 
only the soul's micro desires that produce a micro existence which requires 
the dense physical body.  Therefor, as long as one desires to attain Nirvana 
in order to attain pleasure and avoid pain, (the consequences of his micro 
past) he will never reach macro awareness (Nirvana).
	This teaching about the necessity of giving up all desire (micro desire 
for pleasure and denial of pain) proved impossible for Guatama's later 
disciples, and they misinterpreted this sub-macro concept to mean not caring 
for or loving anything or anyone-just the opposite of what Guatama really 
meant.  Thus, the followers of Guatama, like the followers of Laotzu, founded 
an organization dedicated to teaching the macro philosophy of their GREAT 
TEACHER and ended up usually practicing micro philosophy.
	Of course, the micro beings who have called themselves Christians 
after their GREAT TEACHER have been equally unable to practice the one macro 
imperative given by Jesus-"to love one another."
	Jesus, who incarnated some six or seven hundred years after Laotzu 
and Guatama, taught nothing new or original to sub-macro beings.  But macro 
philosophy is always new and perplexing to amnesic micro man.  The teaching 
of Jesus concerning the necessity of giving up all possessions in order to 
attain the Kingdom of Heaven was the same concept that Gautama had presented by 
saying one must give up all micro desires to attain Nirvana.
	While Jesus taught nothing new, he demonstrated macro philosophy and 
its sub-macro powers more dramatically and more extensively than any previous 
sub-macro being.  These demonstrations culminated in what his disciples called 
Resurrection.  to sub-macro beings Jesus had perfectly demonstrated the 
sub-macro power of psychokenesis or mind controlling matter when he controlled 
the atomic structure of his body so that he could appear (lower vibration) to 
micro man and disappear (higher vibration) at will.
	While these demonstrations of sub-macro powers made believers of micro 
beings they generally did not believe in their own latent sub-macro powers.  
They were confused and tended to believe that Jesus was God or at least the 
ONLY son of God and thus essentially and forever different and separate from 
all other beings.  The macro concept that all is one, taught so clearly by 
Jesus and written not so clearly in the 17th chapter of John, was beyond micro 
man's comprehension.
	While all Christians accept and use (in their rituals) one prayer which 
begins "our Father...," they do not accept it's meaning.  Certainly those 
first two words clearly present the close relationship between all human 
beings, including Jesus, as children of one Father-Creator (Macro self). And, 
although Jesus was clearly the wise elder brother, he was only an older 
member of the same family and not from some superior species of creature.  Of 
course, if Christians could have practiced this teaching, and treated everyone 
as an equal brother or sister and "Loved one Another," all their conflicts, 
misery, and suffering would have ended but their micro pleasures would have 
ended also.  This was just too great a price for micro man to pay-the pleasure 
of feeling superior to others was just too enjoyable to give up.
	This greatest of all micro pleasures, pride, was also micro man's 
greatest obstacle in accepting the basic teaching of all sub-macro 
teachers-that all is one-all is perfect-all is love.  Obviously there is no 
place for feelings of superiority (pride) when one completely accepts the 
basic tenets of macro philosophy.
	Thus, the only true difference between human beings was not that they 
called themselves Taoists, Buddhists, Christians, Hindus, Jews, Muslims, etc., 
but the extent that they practiced the macro imperative-love one another.  
Once again, it is possible to practice this commandment only to the extent 
that one accepts that all is one-all is perfect-all is love.  AND it is 
impossible to completely believe these statements unless one has evolved a 
large enough perspective, or awareness, to remember not only past lives but 
also one's own origin in the macro self, along with all other souls.
	Now micro man prides himself on his religion or philosophy and 
insists that the great teachers of other religions were false teachers, or at 
least very inferior to his own great teacher.  Sub-macro man, however, can 
remember past lives when he was a Muslim, Jew, Buddhist, Hindu, Taoist, 
Christian, Zorastrian, etc.  Sub-macro man, therefore, knows that the 
spiritual core of all religions has the same source-the inner self.  the 
differences among religions are all products of micro man's distortions 
in order to find a way to feel superior to others.
	Thus it is ignorance an pride that produce the divisive micro 
religions and the countless sects within religions.  Only micro man thinks of 
himself as a Jew or a Christian, or a Buddhist, or a Muslim-as infinitum.  
Sub-macro man thinks of himself as an immortal soul created by the macro self 
out of the same mind substance as all other souls and all other things-all 
indivisible parts or thoughts of one infinite mind.
	Obviously only micro man needs the pomp and ceremony, the rituals and 
dogmas, and elaborate hierarchic structures of religious institutions.  Only 
micro man needs a priest or some other intermediary to help him understand and 
communicate with his Creator.
	Sub-macro man has only one religion-a macro one; He has only one 
philosophy-a macro one; and both of these are one and the same.
	While micro man concentrates his attention on the differences between 
human beings in order to feel superior to others, Sub-macro man concentrates 
on the similarities in order to feel one with others.  Sub-macro man does not 
deny that differences exist, but he knows that they only exist at the micro 
and sub-macro levels and that there are no differences at the macro level.
	I have mentioned the three most highly evolved macro philosophers in 
recorded history but there were many more.  However, the majority of these 
other macro philosophers were not able to maintain sub-macro awareness 
consistently and over long periods of time.  Thus, by and large the major 
differences among macro philosophers has not been the content of their 
teachings or beliefs but,  rather, their ability to practice their beliefs 
consistently, over time, and under severe tests or conditions.  Who were some 
of these lesser (less consistently aware) macro philosophers?
	The recorded histories of India and China present more macro 
philosophers than any other land.  Certainly the writers and teachers of the 
Tao Teh King of China and the Vedas and Upanishads of India are not only too 
numerous to name but too remote from the present.  In recent history these 
lands have been filled with peoples of extremely limited self-awareness, and 
their immensely selfish, narrow lives have usually not attracted very highly 
evolved souls.
	This has also been true of North Africa and Asia minor. The macro 
philosophers of these lands, known as the Sufis, were powerful teachers and 
Muhammad, founder of the religion, was one of these.  Yet, in recent history 
the vast majority of incarnating souls in these lands held extremely narrow 
micro views, producing extremely selfish lives and,thus, attracted few highly 
evolved souls.
	The recorded histories of Europe and the Americas present far fewer 
macro philosophers than Asia or Africa and yet in the past 500 years there have 
been more highly evolved souls born in Europe and particularly the United 
States than in any other lands.  Why has this been so?
	souls wishing to incarnate in cultures offering maximum freedom fro 
self awareness growth would hardly select the more rigid and stagnant cultures 
of the world in which micro religions enforced rigid social divisions of caste 
and class and reduced most human life to an animal level of awareness.  No, 
the more highly evolved souls chose a Europe rebelling against the corruption 
of a micro church and fleeing predominantly to North America.  Here in the 
United States advanced souls succeeded in separating church and state for the 
first time in recorded (micro) history.  There developed in the United States 
more freedom and opportunity for growth of self awareness than in any other 
time or place since Atlantis (which micro man scoffs at because he cannot 
remember his own past lives).
	however, freedom is a two edged sword.  While there was more freedom 
for growth there was also more freedom for destruction.  The United States and 
Europe have developed some of the most advanced cultures, but they have also 
developed some of the most destructive weapons and fought some of the most 
destructive wars in recorded history. Obviously,  many macro souls have 
dominated the history of these as well as most other countries.
	Today, at the dawn of a new age-The Aquarian Age-there are more highly 
evolved souls being born into all lands than ever before, in micro history.  
However, there were more sub-macro beings incarnated during the various times 
of the Atlantean era. The macro philosophers of the ancient past are now 
reincarnating in ever greater numbers.
	While micro Christians will never accept it, the souls of their highly 
revered saints such as Peter, James, John, and Paul are also reincarnating 
again. (I'm trying to set up a reunion :' ) Ernie)  For the Aquarian Age is 
the millennium that Jesus foresaw, and at last these souls have evolved 
sufficiently to begin establishing a sub-macro civilization on Earth.  In their 
incarnation with Jesus, only one of the Apostles, John the Beloved, had 
evolved to a low sub-macro level of awareness (consistently).
	Souls such as Pythagoras (Who was, in my opinion, also called Plato 
and Plotinus in subsequent incarnations), Confucius, and Muhammad are also 
being born during the dawn of this new age.  They will remember some of their 
past lives for they will attain consistent sub-macro awareness.  Many ancient 
macro philosophers incarnated during the 19th century and founded the Unity 
and New Thought Churches at the beginning of the 20th Century.  The soul of 
perhaps the greatest macro philosopher of pre-historic Egypt, a high priest 
called Rata, reincarnated many times but finally in the United States in 1877 
in a body subsequently named Edgar Cayce.
	For some 40 years,prior to his death in 1945, this man, named Edgar 
Cayce, demonstrated sub-macro awareness while in a self induced hypnotic 
trance.  He was able to demonstrate all of the sub-macro powers and taught 
all of the basic macro philosophy concepts.  However, he was not able to 
maintain consistent sub-macro awareness while he was conscious.  I mention this 
man because some 14,000 stenographic records of his sub-macro demonstrations 
are now micro filmed and available as modern evidence at Virginia Beach, 
Virginia for all those seeking such support. I believe that this Edgar Cayce 
material, preserved and presented to the public by the A.R.E. Foundation, is 
the most extensive and best documented evidence for macro philosophy which has 
ever been available in micro history.
	The life story of Edgar Cayce is an inspiring view of the universal 
struggle between the micro self and the sub-macro self and, in the end, the 
sub-macro self triumphs  as it must eventually for every human being.  It is 
far easier for micro man to identify with Edgar Cayce, the struggling, 
frequently angry, frightened, and depressed micro being, than with the 
immaculately conceived Laotzu, Guatama, and Jesus who seemed to have overcome 
their micro selves with relative ease.
	What micro man has forgotten is that while these souls, in their final 
incarnations  Laotzu, Gautama, and Jesus, demonstrated highly evolved 
sub-macro awareness, at one time these souls, too, were lost in micro levels of 
awareness in their much earlier incarnations.  In other words, it is easy for 
the child to view the teacher as superhuman and impossible to copy, but the 
teacher knows that he, too, was once a child.
	Micro man's inability to remember past lives differentiates him from 
higher level micro beings and all sub-macro beings.  Since all sub-macro beings 
have some memory of past lives, the concept of reincarnation is accepted by 
everyone who has evolved to this level. The sub-macro concept of reincarnation 
is an integral part of macro philosophy.  Individuals who have attempted to 
teach macro philosophy, but omitting reincarnation and Karma, have made it 
impossible for their disciples to completely understand it and, at best, have 
left their students with an incomplete, superficial understanding.  This has 
been one of the major difficulties of traditional Christianity which has 
stubbornly denied its own sub-macro teachings and teacher.
	While it would be possible to list the historical names of thousands 
of macro philosophers, this would not be in harmony with the purpose of this 
book.  That purpose is to introduce macro philosophy ideas, which are not 
original with me or any other micro or sub-macro incarnating soul.  However, 
for those seeking books about macro philosophers, I offer a brief and very 
incomplete list of suggested readings at the end of the chapter.
	Concerning the greatest of all incarnating macro philosophers, 
previously known as Jesus of Nazareth, I particularly recommend two books: "The 
Aquarian Gospel of Jesus the Christ.  This book will usually appeal only to 
Aquarian age souls.  In addition, I strongly recommend the 5th, 6th and 7th 
chapters of Matthew and Chapters 14, 15, 16 and 17 of John in the New 
Testament-preferably in modern translation.
	In fact, with the exception of the Bible, almost all of these books 
have so far failed to capture a large reading audience due to the shortage of 
incarnated Aquarian Age Souls.  However, this fact is rapidly changing as an 
ever increasing number of the New Age souls incarnate and eventually begin 
seeking out ideas that satisfy their driving soul hunger for a macro 
philosophy-for greater self awareness.
	All of the authors listed below have attained at last a high micro 
level of awareness and at lest half of them have attained frequent, if not 
consistent, sub-macro awareness.  fortunately, it is possible for people to 
spend most of their lives locked in micro prisons but still attain short 
periods of sub-macro or even momentary macro awareness and during these brief 
periods, write sub-macro books.

	(The list is quite outdated.  This list contains 16 books of which 
I made a separate list to save space.  If anyone is interested, let me know 
and I will mail a copy of the list to you--Ernie.)

	Grace is defined in the Merriam-Webster Dictionary as "Freedom from sin 
through divine grace; A virtue coming from God; Acceptance, approval (as 'in 
his Grace')."  The concordance of the King James Version of the Bible defines  
Grace as "The unearned Love and favor Given to man through God's Goodness."
From time to time I have heard such statements as "By the Grace of God I 
wasn't hurt."  I could not understand why God would have a whim to bestow his 
Grace on a particular individual and leave millions of other people to suffer 
hunger and stavation, and pain of various sorts.  From a micro viewpoint, this 
is so.  From a macro viewpoint, within the micro-macro continuum, any 
individual may get in touch with his macro self and set up conditions that 
would enable him or her to escape immediate harm, while someone nearby, 
totally bound to the micro view would not have the larger perspective to 
accomplish the same thing.  
	Grace trancends the Law of Karma, which is in effect at the micro and 
sub-macro level of awareness.  It may be necessary to deal with the basic 
concepts of Karma as described by most Eastern Religions (but not western).

	From a sub-macro and high micro viewpoint, there is no injustice 
anywhere in the universe for we can reap only what we sow. If we have 
mistreated others by causing disease,or deaths by wars, etc. then those 
negative actions will be returned to us.
	The only way we can free ourselves from past actions is to balance 
them with present positive ones.  Thus, the law of Karma, or consequences, or 
Newton's Third law is not nullified but transcended by what would be called 
the law of Grace.  The general concept of the Law of Karma is that if one 
gives out a negative action or thought of -3, intensity, one must get back or 
experience a negative feeling of -3, and that  a negative thought or action of 
-3 intensity can be countered or balanced by a positive thought or action of 
+3 intensity-since -3 and +3 =0-wiping the slate clean.  I am not so certain 
that the intensities of the negative feelings are in direct proportion to the 
negative thoughts and actions.  As (for me) sometimes the negative feelings I 
get seem way out of proportion to my negative thoughts and actions I give out.
	At any rate, and by continuing on the positive karmic path (after 
wiping the slate clean)and as long as ones actions are truly altruistic,one 
all of a sudden finds himself or herself operating outside the laws of Karma.  
He or she is now  under the influences of the Law of Grace.  
	At this level of macro-Awareness, Wonderously strange (from a micro 
viewpoint) and miraculous phenomenon take place.  At this level "Unearned 
Love and Favor..." take on a much larger meaning.  Positive, enjoyable things 
happen even when we aren't expecting or hoping for it.  As one is able to more 
consistently, maintain a high sub-macro or macro awareness these types of 
actions become more and more abundant.  Since, at the macro level, all is one 
and time and space exist only at the micro and sub-macro level,  The macro 
self can affect the (micro) future and (micro) past by effecting the(macro) 
present.  "The things that are impossible with (micro)men are possible with
God(macro self)." Luke 18:27.
	 A personal example of this concerns a close friend from whom I 
haven't heard for over two years.  He lives several States away, and I lost his 
phone number.  during this time I had not heard from him, I had moved twice, 
each time to a different town.  I was under the impression that He had an 
unlisted phone number so did not pursue that route.  I spent a lot of energy 
trying to discover a way to get in contact with him.  Less than a week later, 
I received a call from him.  That in and of itself may be coincidence.  I 
asked him how he got my number since he did not know what city I lived in.
He told me that he called the number I had well over two years ago and it 
still had the message informing callers of the "new" number in the second city 
I had moved to since I heard from him.  He then called that number(in 
Worcester) and it still had the message informing callers of my present phone 
number. I left Worcester over a year ago.   It is standard practice for a 
phone company to leave those messages on for no longer than a month, 
Especially in large cities where phone service would be at a premium.  There 
would seem to be a high turn over rate of phone numbers in larger cities.  
From a micro viewpoint this would appear to be a series of coincidences- a 
series of accidents, but from the macro viewpoint it can be seen that the 
present does and can influence the past.  
	This is only one of the more significant incidents that has happened 
in the recent years.  Getting and staying beyond the law of Karma is not easy
as it requires vigilant monitoring of one's ego for any sign of potentially 
selfish desires or thoughts.  It requires impeccable actions and thoughts, and 
most of all it requires "intent" which encompasses "wanting, willingness, and 
desire.  Intent is one step beyond all of these.  One must intend it to 
happen.  Jesus, because of either the limited language, or his inability to 
express such macro-thoughts expressed this concept as "Faith."  But even Faith 
misses the point  and won't quite make it happen if one does not "intend" it to 
happen.   
	Only to the micro and sub-macro perspective does cause and effect take 
place and the present  cannot influence the past.  With the macro 
perspective, the macro self does not operate within the micro concept of time 
and since all is one, the macro self can affect one's past, present and future
simultaneously.  Therefore, there is no cause and effect as such.  
	Two years ago (micro frame of reference) my macro self was aware that 
my micro self would require the means of getting in touch with a close and 
long standing friend.  My macro self  created the phone number situation in 
the (micro) past to allow my friend and I to make contact in the (micro )
present.  At the time I was home and received my friends call, I had to be 
operating at a high level of sub macro or macro awareness.  If I were 
operating from a selfish micro perspective,  my self-centeredness would have 
most likely caused me to fail getting in contact with my friend(result of 
negative karma).  "Through God(being in touch with the macro self) all things 
are possible."
