Description

This book, "From Domination to Liberation: A Commentary on the Human Condition," offers a sweeping exploration of the forces that shape human societies, focusing on the persistent role of hierarchy, separation, and the quest for genuine liberation. Drawing from history, philosophy, spirituality, and political analysis, the work investigates why revolutions—despite their promise of radical change—so often result in the re-establishment of old power structures and cycles of oppression.

The narrative begins by examining the sacred and ritualistic roots of separation, tracing how ancient practices of sacrifice and purity laid the groundwork for social exclusion and the justification of violence. It explores how these patterns evolved through religious institutions, the rise of the nation-state, and the machinery of modern governance, revealing how the logic of "us versus them" has been sanctified, institutionalized, and weaponized across centuries.

Central to the book is the concept of the "moral singularity"—a critical threshold where humanity's ethical development lags behind its technological and organizational power. The author argues that as civilizations grow in complexity and reach, their inherited moral codes and social structures become inadequate, leading to crises of meaning, justice, and survival. This tension is explored through the lens of historical revolutions, the Enlightenment, and the paradoxes of modernity, including the persistence of genocide, systemic violence, and the failures of both religious and secular institutions.

The book also delves into the intimate realms of personal relationships and spiritual traditions, showing how hierarchy and domination are replicated at every level of human experience. It challenges readers to consider the difference between externally imposed ethical systems and the transformative potential of genuine spiritual evolution—a shift from rule-bound morality to inner awareness and compassion.

Throughout, the author weaves together insights from thinkers such as Clare W. Graves, Ken Wilber, and others, alongside references to sacred texts, historical events, and contemporary challenges like climate change and social inequality. The work is both a critique and a call to action, urging readers to question the structures that shape their lives and to imagine new forms of belonging, justice, and interconnectedness.

Ultimately, "From Domination to Liberation" is an invitation to participate in a deeper conversation about what it means to be human, to confront the myths and mechanisms of separation, and to envision a future where ethical and spiritual evolution can lead to true liberation for individuals and societies alike.
