MAKING GLOBAL SENSE explains why a billion of us are adopting a global sensibility and building the "global sense movement." The book offers a big-picture vision of why globally aware people worldwide are already working (spiritually, culturally, politically, alone and together) to generate critical mass for the urgently needed enlightenment of humanity.In these trying times of climate change, global pandemic and violent extremism, do we choose democracy or despotism? Injustice, fear and blame drive too many to trust bullies promising to save us somehow. Changing how we make sense of life and the world changes our lives and the world. A global sensibility equalizes and liberates all races and genders and ages and abilities for ample prosperity. A global sense of our universal oneness dispels the insecure need to worship kings - or to be the king. "New men," for instance, stop trying to rule the world and instead learn to rule themselves. Award-winning author and journalist Judah Freed draws inspiration from Thomas Paine and his world-changing 1776 essay, Common Sense.Where Paine invited violent revolution, Freed invites peaceful evolution. Where Paine refuted monarchy and hereditary succession, Freed refutes "alpha male rule" and "authority addiction," hidden from our minds by "split perceptions." Where Paine proposed a war for independence and the first modern republic. Freed proposes inner "mindful self rule" and outer "personal democracy," so we mature into "direct republics" someday. Reviving ideals and ideas from the 18th century Enlightenment, the book champions 21st century enlightenment.Balancing head and heart, the essay is interwoven by memoir as the author tells the story behind his insights. Youthful faith in a cult, for example, led him to grasp why and how we give away our power to leaders. The story of his later cancer survival journey offers hope for anyone. Bill McKibben: "Thomas Paine rallied Americans to a new sense of themselves and their possibilities. Judah Freed does likewise for citizens of the planet." Barbara Marx Hubbard: "Making Global Sense is a vital and wonderful book, well written and inspired."
