MANY MANY BEGINNINGS: SPIRITUALITY, INSPIRATION AND PEACE IN TIMES OF COLORFUL MURDERS

by Cem Tanriover, Damla Sevil (Contributor)

Now the world is once again reacting against racial discrimination in great solidarity. But is racial discrimination the only shame of humanity? If our civilizations are not moving forward as much as we wanted, isn't it just for this reason? What about our Nature? What about women rights? What about freedom of thought and modern democracies? What about equal start chances? Are these instantaneous reactions a sufficient solution, really? Human beings can forget easily. Why hundreds of people die every day? It is not enough to react, it must be internalized. Because once we internalize, we will not be able to think in another way and it will be easier to find a solution. Then there will be no discrimination again, nature will not be damaged, women will not be subjected to violence, one thought will give birth to another, and open many many beginnings. Do you not think we would be happier in such a world? Don't our children deserve this? The path to societal fulfillment is rarely straight as most of us struggle to face the truth head-on. Art, literature, and science are too often and unfortunately too long kept separate, like sometimes many we are kept separate from society, if not societies. Stories across disciplines and cultures can help increase our insight into the awakening of our consciousness-no matter where human beings live or the language they speak. Being born in a country, at the crossroads between the East and the West, TANRIOVER’s motivation to create thoughtful and provocative literature to unite divided consciousness – from me to WE-Culture - is obvious. This book came to life witnessing that human being’s lives can be best changed by ‘bringing them together’ so that they can have a look at ‘others’ to discover and be inspired by various colors of the contagious potential of creativity. MANY MANY BEGINNINGS discusses the evolutionary role of art, science, and literature that pushes us past expectations and out of our comfort zone but suggests an alternative, creative and connected ways of finding out what a special reason for being means for every one of us. Drawing on his travels, deep research, decades of international consulting, and his own experience overcoming adversity after losing many family members, living abroad, TANRIOVER shows how anyone can thrive in an uncertain, sometimes hostile but mostly manipulated world by becoming more connected and peaceful. The book’s intrinsic artistic value is TANRIOVER’s ‘Love Letter’ to peace. When do we know who we are? How to embrace ourselves and others as human beings and adjust our actions so they can move us where we truly wish to go? From philanthropists to everyday people, this book discusses how each stage of life has its own unique ‘gift’ to contribute to help us reconnect with ourselves and others, not only when things go wrong and break, but also when we have even a small opportunity to make choices that helps make a bad day livable. This journey will change your way of feeling and thinking, and so the life of your family.Written with authority, soul, and empathy, it accompanies all of us, without discrimination, in a collective walk—a new way of acting, feeling, and thinking. Would you open your door for MANY MANY BEGINNINGS with TANRIOVER, and others all around the world along with you, as we make a difference in our communities, altogether?

I thoroughly recommend this book to anyone who is interested in living a more connected life. The book has been written at this pivotal time when the tipping point of existence is in question. It urges readers to WAKE UP & take more responsibility for their lives and the lives of others. Taking for granted often accompanies the lives of the privileged few and leads to complacency, indifference & apathy, these are the worst of human states as this paves the way for corrupt politics and inequality resulting in a gold digging society where only the rich profit at the expense the rest and the planet. The book is written by a ‘ seeker’ who weaves his tapestry challenging the reader to go beyond his comfort zones looking under every stone to understand its shadow side. It’s a book of humanity, truth and insight, and seeks to inspire the reader to create and foster renewed attitudes of solidarity as we learn to live with each other again, as a whole rather than as cut off units. It is never too late to wake up to truth and justice and this book comes as a wake up call.
