Это событие настолько изменило его жизнь, что его по значимости сравнивают с укрощением огня и изобретением колеса, а иногда говорят, что "человек въехал в современную цивилизацию верхом на коне". Цель этой энциклопедии - познакомить читателя с одним из самых распространенных в мире животных, на протяжении нескольких тысяч лет живущих рядом с человеком.

The Dream of the Cosmos is the story of a multi-layered quest to understand the causes of human suffering and to reconnect with a deeper reality than the one we inhabit in this physical dimension of experience. It seeks to answer the questions: "Who are we?" and "Why are we here, on this planet?" It is offered to those who are looking for something beyond the superficial values of our culture, who may be disillusioned with religious and secular belief systems as currently presented and who question political values which are deeply mired in the pursuit of power. It is written with two voices: one the voice of a personal quest and the other which explores the historical and psychological causes that have brought into being our present view of reality.
