Searching for truth is not a search for God. It is a journey into the self and what shapes humanity on earth. Truth seeking involves deep introspection and reflection, an open mind and the courage to look into life in our society and our earth. Experiences are examined with the intention of drawing on the knowledge and experience of others to illuminate the self. Considering current world events, what understanding of Truth is emerging: illusions or realities. Along my journey, I acquired experience through my work, my career and my life. Some of it came spontaneously, while other aspects came from looking back, trying to understand what happened, how it happened. That has informed and shaped my perspective on many topics. I worked hard on the quest for certainty, the wisdom of uncertainty, the practice of humility, the art of living with paradox and the learning of compassion. As I wrote this book, I relied on my inquisitive mind and creativity to take me on a path of facts and truth-finding in my life. They became the topics of which I have written about. Some texts are a cumulation of personal information, while others are research-based, providing examples of change in our society and how one can navigate the momentum of change. As I engaged myself in interests that pique my curiosity, the focus was on examining my thoughts and broadening my perspective and awareness of human well-being. I found that writing on these various themes was humbling and generated a sense of optimism in myself, of quest for wisdom in the extraordinary time we are in. I hope the reading material is inspirational at many levels, including personal, collective and global. I believe more and more in the well-deserved rewards of aging.
