The New Dawn

An interesting book partly channelled from what the author calls The Lecturer, who spends the first five chapters criticising the excessive and pernicious influence of men on history and religion, arguing that they are largely responsible for the current crisis, whose symptoms include war, genocide, dictatorship and tyranny, drug trafficking and addiction, and political corruption. Hitler, Mao and Stalin epitomise the worst excesses, and the new dawn of the title is based on the premise that the purpose of life is the giving and receiving of love. This is the cue for women to play a much greater part in world affairs and to bring a balancing principle to bear. The book does not call for a movement or organisation but rather stands as a message of hope.
