destination. The pilot needs an engine to power the ship, a rudder
to “have the conn” of his vessel and a global positioning system
(GPS). The key to piloting our life is to also have a captain to steer
it in the direction of its destination – heaven or hell or “oneness”
with all creation or nirvana or utopia – and a GPS by which to
guide the captain accordingly. We have 3 decisions we need to
make in life: (1) who will captain our ship of life – we ourselves or
someone or something else that may have greater “control” over
the “troubled waters” – (2) what “GPS” to use, if any, and (3)
what “rudder” to use to steer our life in the proper direction. For
many, there is also need to decide what destination to aim their
ship of life towards. These are the questions to be tackled in the
remainder of this book. The right answers should ensure us
“success” in how to cope effectively and successfully with the
challenges, trials and obstacles that now define our turbulent
world. We prescribe as the best insurance policy for ensuring safe
passage and successful arrival at our best possible life destination
is this: possession of the right worldview. Choosing the right
worldview from among the offerings of this world is itself a most
formidable risk-strewn endeavor. This book will attempt to prove
that one worldview, whose assumptions come closest to fitting the
latest scientific findings about the world and the universe, will
provide the best foundation for coping with life in these
increasingly turbulent times.Error! Bookmark not defined.
