History Old
10 Reasons to Know Where You Come From! Why Learn the True Human History of Earth?
Who cares about history? Old, boring stories about dead
people! Who needs it!
That’s what I felt until I stumbled upon a husband-wife team
of professors at the University of Michigan in my college
daze. These brave explorers would spend half their year living
with the most remote tribes on the planet—and the other half
of the year teaching the timeless wisdom they learned from
these native people!
Indigenous peoples live by, for and from their natural
environment. Completely dependent on nature—relatively
untouched by modern technology—these folks are very
down-to-earth practical in the way they view and manage their
human existence.
From these “primitive” societies, I discovered many valuable
secrets to not only surviving, but thriving here on Planet
Earth.
These two free-thinking teachers also taught a series of
courses called “World Geography.” You’ve got to be kidding me!
Geography relevant? Geography valuable? Geography fascinating?
Yes, as flows from the adventurous hearts of these two
mentors.
From living with native peoples, my professors learned that
all pre-industrial world civilizations were also very tied to
the ways and whims of nature: Egypt, Babylonia, Greece, Rome,
as well as ancient China and India. And because these
civilizations grew naturally, organically, from their deep
roots in the land, they also developed practical, workable and
ingenious ways to create a rich and bountiful existence on
this planet.
From these ancient societies, I learned even more invaluable
strategies to making a good life on Planet Earth.
Most of this very useful, pragmatic knowledge from
pre-industrial cultures is not taught in our schools. History
is taught as events and dates. Geography is places and names.
We’re not told why people lived where they lived. We didn’t
explore the values they lived for: what they cared about and
what they felt life is really about. The real-life, practical
reasons people lived the ways they did is missing. The rich
depth of life knowledge behind-the-scenes is left out. The
wisdom is omitted. The spirit is absent. Thus, the power is
lost.
Until now! With the present availability of wide and deep
information through the internet and inexpensive books and
videos, the ancient practical secrets of our ancestors can be
found. With a little creative digging, you can mine the depths
of the wisdom and helpful life strategies of the people who
came before us.
Modern Western society at 500 years of age is very young in
comparison to many ancient cultures that lasted thousands of
years. There have been many civilizations on earth that were
much more advanced technologically, socially and spiritually
than today’s Western society.
Knowing the useful ways of previous cultures can help you
today to:
1. Make More Money
Becoming aware of the many different ways people used to
prosper on earth reveals new options and possibilities to
making a good living in a fulfilling way.
2. Build Lasting Creations
A more accurate understanding of how humanity created getting
where we are now allows you to create more solid, permanent
achievements in your life.
3. Reclaim Spiritual Skills
Re-connecting with your true past automatically re-connects
you with your natural spiritual skills because people more
openly expressed their spiritual abilities in many ancient and
indigenous cultures.
4. Use Your Ancestral Support System
You can draw upon the support, energy and life skills of your
ancestors through technical knowledge and spiritual
connection.
5. Tap Advanced Knowledge
You can tap into the vast wealth of life strategy information
accumulated by the spiritually and socially advanced societies
that have preceded us.
6. Boost Your Effectiveness
Being aware of the whole picture, you can more effectively
assist yourself and others in this time of radical planetary
transformation. You’ll be aware of so many more options and
alternatives to the standard modern Western ways.
7. Gain Sharper Perception
As you awaken to each untruth we have been fed by modern
Western society, you’re in a clearer place to explore and
experience how life could be. You’ll be better able to create
what you want in your life.
8. Increase Your Vitality
True vitality erupts with the excitement that flows from
discovering how your unique gifts play an integral role in the
evolution of humanity on the planet.
9. Heighten Your Creativity
You can tap directly into the muses who have inspired artists
and inventors since time began. You’ll be aware of so many
more choices in life.
10. Deepen Your Serenity
Experiencing directly that there is a Grand Design—and
accepting your unique role in the cosmic scheme—brings a very
deep sense of purpose, peace and fulfillment to your life.

Gone With the Wind [VHS] $1.90 David O. Selznick wanted Gone with the Wind to be somehow more than a movie, a film that would broaden the very idea of what a film could be and do and look like.
