I am a professor at the University of Cincinnati, you can tell by my email address -- it’s real and verifiable, and I’m writing you to ask that you take a look at a article I wrote which is recently published in Integral Review Journal online. I am sending it to you for one reason, aside from the basic question “what do you think of it?” I’m sending it to you because of the impact you have on the minds of young people throughout this world. This article I wrote, although it may not seem so at first reading, is about the common bond in thought and wonder shared by all human beings. What this has to do with you is simply put: If we humans are as Neil Armstrong put it in July of 1999, “…humanity is not forever chained to this planet….” how can we hope to interact with any being we may one day perhaps encounter, if we cannot accept the wonderful and beautiful diversity of humanity; and the good in all the wisdom of every culture? I believe that finding common ground starts here, at home with each of us individually. My hope is to transcend dogmatic division, but as a World War II veteran I’m afraid this nutsy professor may lack the spark that inspires interest. My method is an attempt to examine how the ancient minds merged The Arts with their Science, as well as the universality of (philosophical) thought in every culture. My hope is for human beings to one day collectively transcend divisive dogma. Maybe one day, before I leave this life I would be able to put a panal together and participate in a documentary about humanity’s shared insights rooted in freedom and agape, philosophies through which we can embrace each other as human beings. Because only then can we move on to explore beyond “our most basic common link is that we all inhabit this small planet.” JFK 6/63.
