BEYOND PATRIARCHY describes humanity's worldwide issues and problems from a much broader evolutionary perspective. It is meant to describe the necessary chaos that exists and precedes radical change in species development, especially human consciousness. It also underscores the effects of thousands of years of patriarchal domination, especially where women are concerned, and how this created a culture that has prevented evolution from taking hold in human transformation. This book enlarges the picture of our current world problems. So many people are upset, depressed, and angry at the condition of our world today that they want to go backward to old "tried and true" methods and behaviors that are no longer true. We are moving into a future that is unknown and risky, but the journey must be taken. Only by viewing the journey from a larger perspective can we understand what needs to be done. This book's larger perspective can be applied to persons from many points of view. Whether the area of interest is the sciences, economics, politics, or religion, this viewpoint can enlarge the field of investigation in such a way as to reduce anxiety and point into a new direction for action.
