For anyone interested, the new issue of AntiMatters has been released. The site requires free registration, but the only time I hear from them is when they announce a new issue (for those concerned about email spam).
Among the usually strong assortment of articles and book reviews is a fascinating excerpt from Charles Eisenstein's new book The Ascent of Humanity, which as it turns out, is available in it's entirety online at no charge. I've only read the first chapter so far, but Eisenstein makes some powerful points about our current reliance on technology, and how it relates to fundamental ideas we have about who we are.
It has been clear to me for some time that all of the issues we are faced with today can be traced back to our psychology, and more specifically, our near universal misunderstanding of how our belief systems define our sense of self. Eisenstein is pointing to something very important - give it a read!
