The Golden Apple: Changing the Structure of Civilization

This book continues the author's examination of how symbols, with their resulting mythology and superstition, have affected man and civilization; how the Symptomatic Thought Process must be used as an alternative to symbolic thought; and what symptomatic thinking can mean to civilization. What happened to homo sapiens to compel them to act the way they act? Why do we have the global conflicts and enmity that have continued throughout history? This book examines how the two primary causes of civilization's near destruction are the religious and racial wars that have occurred in practically every corner of the globe. These racial and religious conflicts are the core of the economic and territorial wars that have engulfed civilization from its genesis.
