The admonition of “me first” began when we were infants and in a larger social context, Infant Soul societies. But when the natural inclination for self-preservation is augmented with runaway greed the prognosis for society is not good. In fact, the belief that “economic growth” is capable of being continuous points us to an not-so-healthy analogy: cancer!

Proselytizing is the need to save others so one doesn't have to feel bad by themselves.Proselytizing, I can’t stand it. The abstraction of my soul and how God interacts with it is my business! Religion might have the positive intention, and perhaps might provide the benefit of a person gaining a primary understanding of  spirituality; but it is something that should be sought out by the individual, not sold or marketed to them.

2008 Overleaves & Forecast

by Stephen Cocconi with collaboration from Holly Coleman

Stephen’s Introduction
