Patriotism is loyalty to a group. We regard the person without it as paltry at best. Historically the size of the group to which most of us have been loyal has increased from the family to the tribe to the city to the state or province and now to the nation. Today our children use the Internet as if there were no such things as national borders. We all know the radioactive clouds, viruses, the clean air from healthy oceans and rainforests and the polluted air from uncaring human acts do not notice the fences and custom offices that mark off spaces as separate countries on our only beautiful planet. We have for the first time in history an opportunity and necessity to continue the great slow movement of patriotism toward inclusion of all human beings. This book is a handbook on how to do this: not to make our loyalty to our native country less but to make our loyalty to the entire human race more. The great Utopian goals have all failed and we have little interest in them today. The way to go forward is in small steps and actions that can be done without major changes in our everyday life. Eleanor Roosevelt wrote: "It is better to light one candle than to curse the darkness." If enough of us light one candle each we will have a blazing light to guide us to a brighter future.

An Ethic for the Age of Space

A Touchstone for Conduct Among the Stars

By: Lawrence LeShan

Making use of an ethical system based on psychological need, rather than on metaphysical or theological grounds, LeShan shows how an evolved ethical system can keep pace with science and technology, and displace the damage being done to the planet and our own survival.

Psychic Phenomena and Mystical Experience

By: Lawrence L. Leshan

Mysticism and the paranormal have long been associated in two ways: in the repeated reports of mystically trained individuals acquiring paranormal abilities and in the warnings given in all serious mystical training schools that students who become interested in these abilities will cease to make progress. This essay, chapter 24 of Psychic Exploration, discusses those associations. The full volume of Psychic Exploration can be purchased as an ebook or paperback version from all major online retailers and at cosimobooks.com.

The Golden Warrior

The Life and Legend of Lawrence of Arabia

By: Lawrence James

During the 1920s--in the aftermath of the Arab revolt against Britain--T. E. Lawrence gained global attention, both for his involvement in the Middle Eastern anti-imperialist movement, and for his vivid and sensational writings about his experiences. Following World War I, his appointment as an advisor to Winston Churchill--nearly simultaneous with the release of an American documentary about the revolt--further charged the T. E. Lawrence mania. Despite the emergence of a whole new set of problems in the Middle East, and fueled by the classic status of the epic movie Lawrence of Arabia, the T. E. Lawrence mystique continues to fascinate. Controversial and provocative, this revised and updated edition of Lawrence James's acclaimed biography penetrates and overturns the mythology that surrounds T. E. Lawrence. With access to previously unavailable documents, James traces the sometimes spurious Lawrence legend back to its truthful roots, peeling back the layers of Lawrence's calculated public persona to reveal the gifted, tortured man behind the shimmering myth. Yet James remains dispassionate and generous in spirit throughout. The Golden Warrior presents readers with a fascinating study of one of the twentieth century's most remarkable figures.

The Letters of D. H. Lawrence

The Letters of D. H. Lawrence

By: D. H. Lawrence

This volume contains almost all of the letters D. H. Lawrence wrote in the last fifteen months of his life: 763 letters, the majority previously unpublished. Despite his failing strength, Lawrence was in constant communication with publishers and agents. He continued to write frequently to his sisters and friends. There is no new fiction for Lawrence to discuss, but there are paintings, poems, the major essays Pornography and Obscenity and A Propos of 'Lady Chatterley's Lover', articles, and his last work Apocalypse. The most dramatic episodes of these months were the seizure of the Pansies manuscript, and the police raid on an exhibition of Lawrence's paintings and the subsequent trial. The subject of his illness becomes ominously more prominent, and Lawrence apologises for letters which lack his customary vitality. The volume includes an introduction, maps, illustrations, chronology and index; full notes identify persons and explain Lawrence's allusions.

The Letters of D. H. Lawrence: Volume 5, March 1924-March 1927

By: D. H. Lawrence

Volume V covers the three years from March 1924 to March 1927. It comprises over 890 letters, of which about 350 are previously unpublished, and the others are printed in full for the first time. As in earlier volumes of this model edition of Lawrence's correspondence, texts have been established from the originals and are fully annotated to identify persons and illuminate allusions. Also included are a biographical introduction, two maps of Oaxaca (Mexico), illustrations, chronology and an index. In 1924 Lawrence is in the United States to check on the failing business of his American publisher and to rewrite his Mexican novel The Plumed Serpent. While in Mexico, the author falls dangerously ill and recovers at Kiowa. In the Autumn of 1925, he and Frieda visit family in England and Germany. They finally settle in Italy where, except for his final visit to the Midlands, they will remain.
