Am I doing the thing I can do best? Am I giving myself the maximum test?
These questions I've asked, the answers I've found. How are you doing my fellow clown?

Purpose:: to help you examine your reality by thinking critically

When we speak we teach. We teach the listener(s) our feelings, our beliefs, our experiences, our hopes, our thoughts. Whether our speaking is dialogue or indoctrination depends on whether we speak about our beliefs or whether we believe our beliefs are facts. It is important to know the difference between beliefs and facts and dialogue and indoctrination. Not to know the difference is to live a mindless life. It is our world view which is the paradigm through which we perceive beliefs and discern facts. Everyone has a world view. It is important to know what our world view is because what we perceive drives our emotions. It is our emotions which prompt us to act. That reality, coupled with the underlying presumption we have the right to impose our will on another and use force if necessary, is the basic cause of strife in the world. It is this simple thread of thought which shows we have been and will continue to live in inevitable and perpetual strife with each other. History shows life has always been thus.

Logic suggests nothing will change unless we stop living a mindless life.

A Cry From the Heart by Lawrence McGrath gives readers a unique and powerful perspective on the origins of strife in the world and its relationship to our ability to think critically. Our ability to perceive our beliefs and discern facts, and to know the difference between the two, constitutes each of our personal worldviews, the paradigms through which we interpret the world. Colored by mindsets about the nature of truth which we inherit from past generations, our paradigms can get muddled and confused, leading to misunderstanding, dogma, and strife. Nowhere is this muddle and strife more evident than in organized religions, whose leaders cannot resolve their own logical dogmas about God. Lawrence has written a book that presents concrete ideas on how we can regain our balance, as a world, to find harmony, peace, and our human compassion. A Cry From the Heart is a clarion call to everyone who is tired of miscommunication, doctrine, and spin-doctors.
