About the Book
This jeopardy of our place on this earth has come about because of greed, hate and a lack of understanding. The greed of the few deprives the many, the hate spread by the few to control the many and the lack of understanding by the many that this is actually happening. The few have to succumb consumed by their utter greed and selfishness they can only see their own needs and their own desires. They have failed to understand the purpose of their responsibility to
the planet and humanity. They have failed to understand that our world is our life raft, it is our refuge, and it is our only place in this universe.
We must wake up, come to our senses, and realize before it is too late, we must speak to the Shaymen and ask them how to save our world. We must ask for forgiveness for the monumental sins against the planet, our earth mother and begin to put all progress in line with the earth mother, this is urgent. Be under no illusion the planet will rid
us of its ecosystem and within a few short months, there would be very little trace of our Western Civilization. It has happened before, with the Atlantic Civilization and it can happen again, rest assured. We must realize that our planet will not end, only our world will end, only the world humans have created will end. The planet will merely reshape itself, recycle itself to accommodate the next lucky inhabitants…
