Hey Girardfag, do you recall on page 67 in Yuga: An Anatomy of Our Fate, Glass mentions a book by George Morgan that has "apparently went unnoticed by the world (confirming, according to a Sufi master that it was 'kept in heaven'); I've haven't seen it mentioned in any bibliographies where it ought to have appeared." I tried to look for mentions of the book The Human Predicament: Dissolution and Wholeness online, and true to his word, I couldn't find any mention of it anywhere except for a couple Amazon reviews that vaguely describe the book at best. Out of curiosity, I bought a copy, which has been long out of print, and I finally received it in the mail. I'm not sure if George Morgan offers anything new to the discussion, but he argues the current mode of thinking in civilization is a "prosaic mentality."
>The prosaic mentality is characterized by a cluster of attitudes and interests that it raises to supremacy above others, which are ignored, denied, or suppressed. It is this suppression that constitutes the fallaciousness and perniciousness of the prosaic mentality, and it occurs the moment prosaic interests are given undue stress or brought to inappropriate places.
If you and other anons are interested in reading it, I won't mind scanning and uploading it (I hope my old printer still works). Though, it is something I have to find time to do, and I'll probably post it in the next cosmotech thread when you come back.
