THE REALITY OF INNATE HUMAN WISDOM-MAKING
In this sensitive work, Ingo Swann once more opens up the continuing story of the fuller extent of human consciousness, which, by many accounts, is amazing and intriguing.

Is human consciousness designed for self-destruction?
OR
Is it designed to continuously sustain its own pro-survival into futurity?

This is one of my favorite books. Sometimes hard to read because it is so dense with analysis of language, thought, assumptions about the meanings of words. This is a fantastically thorough examination of our thinking around what wisdom is, and the degree to which it is ignored and marginalized in thought, word, and deed. The whole book builds upon itself to a crescendo that explores Ingo's relationship with the idea of wisdom that is arguably the most advanced and comprehensive of any I've ever known. If only we collectively could be more on his page!
