Another Way To Live: Discovering Lessons Crucial to the Survival of the Human Race by Separating Religion from the Bible.

Ancient wisdom that tells us how to live optimally on Earth has been hijacked. Contorted and wrapped in ritual and dogma, the wisdom of the ancients now sits within stories told by religion to support religion and not the people within. Possibly an unintended outcome, nevertheless, the opportunity to learn how best to express our humanness can only be accessed by removing religious overtones from sacred texts. When we do this with the Bible, the lessons stand out clearly and, if understood and acted upon, can lead us away from the self-inflicted demise the human race is currently on track to meet.

Objectively, the Bible is a story structured in the three act paradigm. Another Way to Live, applies this paradigm to the Bible, identifying the elements necessary to complete that paradigm. From within these elements, the lessons for optimal living become clear once again. When we apply these lessons for the benefit of our species, instead of preserving the institutions who hold these texts as their own, the way forward becomes clear. Highlighting these lessons suggests there are different ways the human race could have chosen to live. Ways that would have us approaching a more positive future. Those ways are not beyond us.

Heaven and hell are states of mind chosen by each of us. They are here and now, not destinations in the afterlife. Another Way to Live, deconstructs the Bible into the three acts, identifying the all important plot points and inciting incident, explaining how we have come to the crossroad our species now stands at. Understanding why, shows how we have chosen to live in hell and avoid heaven. Thankfully it also shows us how we can all dwell in heaven on earth once again as our forefathers did.
