This is the fourth book in my series of sequels to on Our New Human Consciousness. The first book in this series, Our Global Wave of Change, discusses the nature of the massive change we are experiencing, how this change affects us as individuals and as a culture, and steps you can take to survive the change psychologically. The second book, Our New Human MindSkills, discusses how we will the change the way we use our mind and practical steps you can take to re-engineer your mental operating system. The third book, Our New Path of Self-Discovery, discusses the question of ‘Who am I, and why am I here’, the history of the ‘spiritual path’ imported from other cultures and religions, our new path of self-discovery for truth and enlightenment in our culture. In this fourth book, Our New Enlightened Culture, we broaden our scope and look at how the new path of self-discovery extends to the upliftment and enlightenment of our culture. We are a culture in search of its spirit, and the implications for our culture are massive as our perspective of reality expands. Many of those whose awareness is opening in this time of change will extend their consciousness to share in accepting responsibility for our new culture. Who are the new ‘Pathfinders’? The new ‘Pathfinders’ will share the new knowledge and help facilitate the acceptance and implementation of our new culture. If you are a pathfinder, you too may have asked ‘Who me? Why me?’ The key to the implementation is in the process: the elements of this new consciousness and culture will not come from one enlightened teacher who stands on the mountain and proclaims the truth. This new cultural consciousness will be manifested from within each of us: you, me, and the person next door. I wish you well in your work.

Recent scholarly and popular attempts to define the Enlightenment, account for its diversity, and evaluate its historical significance suffer from a surprising lack of consensus at a time when the social and political challenges of today cry out for a more comprehensive and serviceable understanding of its importance. This book argues that regnant notions of the Enlightenment, the Radical Enlightenment, and the multitude of regional and religious enlightenments proposed by scholars all share an entangled intellectual genealogy rooted in a broader revolutionary "culture of enlightening" that took shape over the long-arc of intellectual history from the waning of the sixteenth-century Reformations to the dawn of the Atlantic Revolutionary era. Generated in competition for a changing readership and forged in dialog and conflict, dynamic and diverse notions of what it meant to be enlightened constituted a broader culture of enlightening from which the more familiar strains of the Enlightenment emerged, often ironically and accidentally, from originally religious impulses and theological questioning. By adapting, for the first time, methodological insights from the scholarship of historical entanglement (l'histoire croisée) to the study of the Enlightenment, this book provides a new interpretation of the European republic of letters from the late 1600s through the 1700s by focusing on the lived experience of the long-neglected Catholic theologian, historian, and contributor to Diderot's Encyclopédie, Abbé Claude Yvon. The ambivalent historical memory of Yvon, as well as the eclectic and global array of his sources and endeavors, Burson argues, can serve as a gauge for evaluating historical transformations in the surprisingly diverse ways in which eighteenth-century individuals spoke about enlightening human reason, religion, and society. Ultimately, Burson provocatively claims that even the most radical fruits of the Enlightenment can be understood as the unintended offspring of a revolution in theology and the cultural history of religious experience.

Today, the long-assumed belief in the permanence of an enlightened world is suddenly open to challenge. Human rights, participatory government, and social justice are losing global influence, and the world of ordinary people is pushing back against Enlightenment conceits. Accumulated anger links Taliban, Tea Party, and Trump, threatening women's rights, social justice, and democracy. To understand and counteract the threat to these ideas, we must set aside embedded explanations and embrace a new frame of observation and tolerance grounded in the power of belief, legend, and tradition. In Rebuilding an Enlightened World, Bill Ivey explores how folklore offers a unique and compelling new way to understand the underlying forces disrupting the world today. If we are to salvage the best of the Enlightenment dream and build a better future, we must begin to listen, patiently and inquisitively, in order to interpret the customs, norms, and traditional practices that shape all human behavior.

Some people think the world would be better off without Christianity. This book dispels that fantasy, showing the Church's central role in the progression of free world ideals. It is easy to take basic rights for granted, like free speech, due process, freedom of religion...etc. But how many people know that all of our unalienable rights began as biblical doctrines championed by devout people throughout history? These are the spiritual giants upon whose shoulders our founding fathers stood-Forgotten heroes that have laid the foundation of a just and free society for all people. The free world owes an immense debt of gratitude to them, for without their dauntless devotion and religious fervor, the world would be a very dark place.

In October of 2016, His Holiness the Jongdosanim gave a discourse on enlightenment at the Times Center of New York City where he presented a vision for the world to cure our ills, to heal each other, and to open up an enlightened world of brilliant radiance. That lecture is the basis of this book, which is the first book in English that he is sharing with the world. In reading this book, it will become very clear that His Holiness is awakened to the life of the Universe and is awakening us to be one with the life of the Universe. His Holiness the Jongdosanim established the Jeung San Do movement in 1974. In 1977 he experienced the great spirituality of the renewal of Heaven, Earth, and Humanity. He authored numerous books during the tumultuous times of the 1980s, including The Truth of Jeung San Do (1981) and This is GaeByeok (1982). Through his writings and teachings, he presented a vision to the youth of Korea for the way to lead a life of mutual life-bettering and life-saving. Now that those youths have grown up and are leading the nation, his teachings serve as the mantras that guide politics and economics in Korea. Dynamics of present day Korea cannot be understood properly without understanding his teachings to the youth of Korea during 1980s and this book present his philosophy in the most succinct way in English. In 1992, Jongdosanim first published The Jeung San Do DoJeon. With this book he awakened Korea to the spirituality that was lost during Japanese colonial times. In this way he was able to finally restore the lost identity of the Korean people. The Korean songs and dramas that are sweeping the world today owe much debt to His Holiness the Jongdosanim for restoring the lost Korean identity. During the early 2000s, Jongdosanim founded the SangSaeng Research Institute and the STB Broadcasting Company to present the vision of mutual life-bettering and life-saving to the world. In 2010 he published the translation of Hwandangogi, a book about the ancient history of Korea that the Japanese attempted to destroy during the colonial era. During that time the Japanese rewrote Korean history to justify their occupation. They burned more than 200,000 volumes of Korean history books and then rewrote the history of Korea with the message that Korea began as a colony of China and Japan. With the publication of Hwandangogi, the lost history was revealed to the world, and Korea was finally restored in its rightful place in history. Since 2010, Jongdosanim has been traveling the world giving lectures on the lost spiritual and meditation teachings of Korea. Today he runs Jeung San Do centers around the world. These centers teach meditation and ways of life that heal people and the world.

This book is concerned with producing an organic view of the history of human culture and enlightenment, which has culminated in the highest values and attainments of the Spirit. Oscar takes us on an enlightened journey from 20,000 B.C. from the Magdalenian period up through Egyptian, Phoenician, Babylonian, Persian, and Greek culture. He shows how this line of culture proceeds through the Milesians, Eleatics and Platonism up to Proclus and Damascius, and presents a continuous truth that unifies and makes sense of the whole. This narrative includes the Teachings of the realized Wise Man of the ancient Platonists, Cynics, Stoics, Megarians, and Skeptics, and the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas of the Mahayana Tradition. He analyzes the origins of Christianity from a historical perspective, explaining and making transparent the meaning of the Mysteries of the pre-Christian world. Sources are clearly delineated, including those that show a Eurocentric point of view. This is a fascinating, thought-provoking book that opens our understanding of the earliest peoples who were totally conscious of the spiritual life and the Soul that survived death and entered immortality; and of how through different schools this consciousness perdured through the millennia. Through Oscar's Teachings, Human Culture and Enlightenment will open a deep appreciation of the importance of the Higher States of Consciousness as a cultural manifestation and generate an immense gratitude for the blessings of our beloved School.
