THE CAUSE of global enlightenment is the cause of all humankind.
IN THESE TRYING TIMES of climate change when authoritarian nations outnumber democracies, our best hope for freedom and a sustainable future is seeing our global oneness – and taking action.
Making Global Sense reports that more than a billion of us on earth are aware of our connectivity. We’re generating a global sense movement that’s building critical mass for a global quantum shift of humanity into enlightened democracy.
Author and journalist Judah Freed finds inspiration in Common Sense by Thomas Paine. Where Paine in 1776 opposed injustice from monarchy and hereditary succession, Freed opposes ancient alpha male rule and authority addiction, hidden by split perceptions, instead advocating mindful self rule and personal democracy. Where Paine urged revolution, Freed urges evolution. Weaving essay and memoir, Making Global Sense revives ideals from the 18th century Enlightenment to champion our 21st century enlightenment, now!
Changing how we make sense of life and the world changes our lives and the world. A global sensibility equalizes and liberates all genders, races, ages, and abilities for ample prosperity and lively democracy. “New men,” for instance, can let go of trying to rule the world and instead learn how to rule themselves. People of all natures can thrive when their lives make global sense.
Balancing head and heart, around the essays are woven memoir sections where the author tells the story behind his insights. Youthful faith in a cult, for example, led him to grasp why and how we give away our power to leaders. The story of his later cancer survival journey offers hope for anyone.
Globally awake readers can feel they are not alone, nor powerless, especially when we unite for nonviolent actions together. Those still asleep to our oneness may now safely open their eyes.
