"THE GOSPEL OF SCIENCE: Mind Blowing New Science on Ancient Truths to Heal Our Stress, Lives, & Planet" (2nd edition)
by William & Angela Wong Douglas, Founders of World Tai Chi Day
PAGES 11 - 13
Some might think, “I know the world, the universe, is definitely not safe and friendly and nurturing. I see it on the news every day.” Later chapters get into this issue big time, exploring the science of media marketing, bio-chemical triggers, and much more. Understanding the science of the ‘game of life’ empowers us to enjoy playing the game—rather than being ‘played by the game.’ Letting go of our grip on normalcy—or the game we are all immersed in—is a powerful way to see ourselves and world anew...
For many decades, this state of “sung” has been quietly and softly (largely, without media fanfare) positively changing the entire planet, as 100s of millions of people worldwide have been practicing highly effective Mind-Body practices for health and wellbeing (Yoga, Tai Chi, Meditation, Qigong, and Mindfulness)—and the numbers grow exponentially year by year. Science reveals they are creating greater “coherence of consciousness,” not just for the meditators—but for ALL of humanity. Its soft, this impact we have on the world—it’s more like the wind and the rain—changing the world with whispers and sighs.
Violence and violent-crime are at historic lows in America and in much of the world. WHAT!? You say!? That cannot be true—the news media tells me every day that the world is going to hell in a handbasket, more crime, more violence, the world is a dangerous place. This book is not about feeding myths that are not true in order to increase viewer ratings, it is about cold hard data and science—and the world is vastly less violent than at any time in human history, and violent crime rates are at historic lows in much of the world (see FBI, UN, etc. data: pages 139 -150). Yes, this book shatters disturbing, angst producing, commonly held myths (like “increasing” violence) to be false.
[Below is FBI data showing Violent Crime Rates at 40 year lows ... and they just keep dropping, not just in the United States, but in many countries around the world-- "THE GOSPEL OF SCIENCE..." As Mind Body practices spread worldwide ... the planet become less violent.]
