THE CAUSE of global enlightenment is the cause of all humankind.

IN THESE TRYING TIMES of changing climate, surging pandemics, social unrest, economic injustice, and rising despotism, too many turn fear into blame and trust bullies promising to save us somehow. Some of us find more grounded hope. We balance freedom and responsibility by living daily with a sense of our sacred global oneness.

MAKING GLOBAL SENSE offers a vision of why more than a billion globally aware people on earth form the emerging “global sense movement.” Alone and together, we are working spiritually, ecologically, culturally, economically, and politically to generate critical mass for the urgently needed enlightenment of humanity

Award-winning author and journalist Judah Freed draws inspiration from Thomas Paine and his world-changing 1776 essay, Common Sense. Reviving ideals and ideas from the 18th century Enlightenment, Making Global Sense champions 21st century enlightenment

Where Paine invited violent revolution, Freed invites peaceful evolution. Where Paine refuted monarchy and hereditary succession, Freed refutes alpha male rule and authority addiction, hidden from our minds with split perceptions, which is how we treat opinions as facts or think lies are true. Like Paine, Freed advocates critical thinking and reason.

Where Paine proposed a war for independence and the first modern republic. Freed proposes peaceful inner mindful self rule and outer personal democracy, so we mature into direct republics one day.  

Changing how we make sense of life and the world changes our lives and the world. A global sensibility equalizes and liberates all races and genders and ages and abilities for ample prosperity and lively democracy. “New men,” for instance, stop trying to rule the world and instead learn to rule themselves. People of all sorts and natures can thrive when their lives make global sense.

Balancing head and heart, around the essays are woven memoir sections where the author tells the story behind his insights. Youthful faith in a cult, for example, led him to grasp why and how we give away our power to leaders. The story of his later cancer survival journey offers hope for anyone. 

Globally awake readers will feel they are not alone, nor powerless, especially when we unite for nonviolent actions together. Those still asleep to our oneness may now safely open their eyes.
