This book describes what is required now of the system and we who use it, in order to enable its redesign and rebuild. Our economic values, rela...

At every stage of development, we can have an inspired understanding of the Divine, but our perception will be configured by our worldview or value system.Like transparencies on an overhead projector, in this book we overlay two valuable tools: the model of the Documentary Hypothesis and the model of Spiral Dynamics, enabling us to vie...
