What makes a person human? That is the question. We now live in a world of extremes; some labour too hard, while others seek to continually ease their woes at an enormous cost to others, and also themselves. Dr. Rollo May wrote a book entitled "The Meaning of Anxiety", in which he challenged the belief that mental health is derived from living without anxiety, but rather asserts it is essential to the human condition; confronting anxiety can relieve boredom, sharpen sensitivity, and, actually creates the tension necessary to preserve human existence. Following the Second World War humanity, understandably, sought relief from the horrors, carnage, and suffering, that had taken place, as well as the decades leading up to it; never mind the First World War, (1914-1918). The problem is that humanity never brought to an end this search to relieve hardship. With each passing decade "convenience products", and "consumer goods", in increasing numbers have seeped into the lives of those who inhabit the "First World", while the anguish of those residing in the "Third World" has intensified, while they are forced to labour in order to fulfill the wants, needs, and desires, of those already over-saturated in material wealth; and, ironically, aren't even close to realizing this is the case - our environment has had to bear the strain of this burden. How can this cycle of madness be brought to an end? "The Trinity Manifesto" explains that the answer lies in remembering what makes us human, and how the completion of this accomplishment leads to the whole, the Truth, Self-realization, God - the big picture. Being human means to behave in a humane manner; one takes care of oneself, while also taking care of others. We each grow by making connections with others, then, eventually, the great beyond. People, however, have followed the opposite course, and as a consequence dissolution, fragmentation, and disintegration, has spread, and at the cost of losing the most crucial ingredient that makes us human; our soul. A confluence of entropic forces within all of mankind's major civilizations, since the beginning of recorded history, has led to the state we are in now; this hasn't happened by accident, but rather design, divine in origin.
About the Author: The author was given the name, Nigel, at birth, a very common name in Britain, and seven days later conforming to Jewish custom, a circumcision ceremony was performed and he was given both the Hebrew name Tovia and the Yiddish equivalent Tevia, both names imply the blessings and goodness that God bestows. In later years whilst living in Israel he adopted the Hebrew name Eitan, which implies stoicism and impetuousness. All these terms, expressions, are a reflection of his nature. He has depth and complexity, but can display banality, depending on his mood, or the time of day. Due to fate, circumstance, destiny, (whatever term deemed appropriate), over recent years he has not just engaged in a battle with himself in order to become fully actualized, but also a nation called, Canada. He admits that he neither wanted, nor desired, many things that have encroached on the lifestyle he sought to acquire for himself, but by conquering each obstacle placed in his path, he managed to realize himself in a span of time previously never imagined possible, and as a consequence, figured out why the world is in the state it is now. His life has been filled with great struggles, from early childhood onward, and the education he has provided himself is primarily the result of questioning, wanting to better understand, why people behave the way they do, and how certain circumstances arise. Time, history, existence, can be viewed as a story; a story is written with words, and the combination, synthesis, of these words formulates ideas. A story concludes when enough ideas have been coordinated to reveal the design, purpose, and reasoning, behind a plot. If a new beginning is upon us, and time can be contracted by the formulation of ideas, and Nigel Shindler's book is seen as an amalgamation of the primary concepts that have formulated the history of human civilization; it is mankind alone that is responsible for this occurrence. Last year the author was honoured with a Ph.D. in Psychology from Ashley University on the basis of an earlier edition of "Love Is the Nature of Existence"; this year he was awarded a Ph.D. in Educational Psychology by James Adams University.
