Reconnect to your natural wisdom, with Chet Shupe's new book “Rediscovering the Wisdom of Human Nature: How Civilization Destroys Happiness”

By: WebWire

Shupe's book goes beyond the categories of psychology, sociology, and self-help. It sparks conversations and self-reflection, by revealing how our emotional connections to one another have been severed, by our dependence on monetary and legal systems.

Shupe reminds us that earlier humans once lived in a state of contentment, because they depended on each other to survive. Our dependence on legal systems has deprived humans of our greatest need—to love and to be loved by our fellow man. Shupe's book informs us about something modern people fail to grasp: We humans do have an inborn guiding wisdom, endowed by evolution. It is essential to our happiness, and to the wellbeing of life, itself, that we be true to this inborn map of life.

Humans invented civilization, because we imagined that the world would be a better place, if everyone agreed to comply with sovereign laws. In terms of material benefits, civilization has succeeded. But our dependence on laws—not emotional intelligence—to maintain order, has so socially isolated us that reality, as we experience it, is a spiritual wasteland. We are unable to emotionally engage in our surroundings, thus have no access to the wisdom of human nature, which can only reveal itself through the feelings we experience, in response to our immediate circumstances. The result of this spiritual alienation is pain. To manage it, we modern humans space ourselves out on beliefs, ideologies, drugs, hope, dreams—and even the promise of science. If those fail to quell the pain, people turn to suicide—the only option left.

Shupe's answer is to return to the natural “spiritual homes” in which Homo sapiens once thrived. But people cannot establish a spiritual home, merely by design or intent. Spiritual homes will eventually form naturally. When enough people become disillusioned with the false promises of modern life, they will acquire an entirely new perspective on what life is about—one that is virtually the opposite of what civilization teaches. Among spiritually awakened people, a real home is organic. Indeed, for humans to experience a natural sense of emotional and material comfort, a spiritual home—one that is maintained by our emotional intelligence—is the only option that exists.

Author Bio
Chet Shupe is an electronics engineer who suffered from severe Attention Deficit Disorder for a good part of his life. After years of depression and feeling bewildered by the world around him, he was finally diagnosed at age 43, and after beginning treatment with Ritalin, life suddenly made sense.

Shupe emerged from ADD with a unique perspective on the human condition. His engineer's mind forced him to ask basic questions about the brain's purpose, how the mind is organized, why feelings exist, the origin of good and evil, the true dynamics of every relationship, and how all of this relates to people's happiness and to the wellbeing of humanity.

For years he's pursued the answers to these questions with passion and conviction, digging deep into the intricacies of the modern social contract to question how well it serves us both individually and collectively.

As a scientist, he bolsters every conclusion with logical and compelling examples. As a person of feeling and intuition, he expresses his hopes for humanity with genuine compassion and sincerity.

As a whistle-blower to the world, he speaks with urgency about the need to rediscover people's connections with their own Nature if they are ever again to experience the contentment of sisterhood and brotherhood that is their natural heritage.
