Democracy Is Self-Government
Harold Waldwin Percival
- The
- author
- provides
- an
- original
- and
- entirely
- new
- concept
- of
- True
- Democracy,
- where
- personal
- and
- national
- affairs
- are
- brought
- under
- the
- spotlight
- of
- eternal
- truths.
- This
- is
- not
- a
- political
- book,
- as
- generally
- understood.
- It
- is
- an
- unusual
- series
- of
- essays
- that
- sheds
- light
- on
- the
- direct
- connection
- between
- the
- conscious
- self
- in
- every
- human
- body
- and
- the
- affairs
- of
- the
- world
- in
- which
- we
- live.
- At
- this
- crucial
- period
- in
- our
- civilization,
- new
- powers
- of
- destruction
- have
- emerged
- that
- could
- sound
- the
- parting
- knell
- for
- life
- on
- earth
- as
- we
- know
- it.
- And
- yet,
- there
- is
- still
- time
- to
- stem
- the
- tide.
- Percival
- tells
- us
- that
- each
- human
- being
- is
- the
- source
- of
- all
- causes,
- conditions,
- problems
- and
- solutions.
- Therefore,
- we
- each
- have
- an
- opportunity,
- as
- well
- as
- a
- duty,
- to
- bring
- eternal
- Law,
- Justice,
- and
- Harmony
- to
- the
- world.
- This
- begins
- with
- learning
- to
- govern
- ourselves
- -
- our
- passions,
- vices,
- appetites,
- and
- behavior.
- The
- purpose
- of
- this
- book
- is
- to
- point
- the
- way.
