Every day the news is filled with horror stories of war, atrocities, and other unspeakable acts. Yet how many are willing to consider that the source of these violent acts in a violent world is fear and, therefore, only different in form from our own hateful thoughts and unkind deeds toward ourselves and others? Silence Is the Answer not only explains the undeniable connection, but directs the reader toward the repair of the only world that needs fixing — one's own mind.Author Robert E. Draper culls countless examples from ancient history to the present day to demonstrate how often this world built on separation and fear makes no sense. Explaining the futility of attempting to change the ephemeral world of appearances, he encourages readers to heed the teachings of the wise, who from throughout the ages have taught that lasting safety can only come from self-examination and changing one's mind.
I Am Not" is author Robert E. Draper's attempt to provide insight into our age-old plight of finding ourselves “strangers in a strange land,” as well as into the great difficulty we all have in accepting that if we are living in a world of virtual insanity, we are—at least partly—insane too.According to the author, this world is a dystopian battleground, a product of a collective amnesia that has burdened us all with the difficult task of living coherently while working our way back to the awareness of what we are: united; yet believing we are what we are not: separated—all of our hearts breaking over what we know not.The central theme of "I Am Not" is recognizing the futility of our efforts to improve the trap we appear to be in, redirecting those efforts to the goal of waking up to what we are doing, saving not the world but ourselves. Only thus can we reverse our own course into madness, finding—and demonstrating—there is hope within, right in the middle of a place where there is none to be found without.
