Author Kathleen DuVal argues that it was Indians rather than European would-be colonizers who were more often able to determine the form and content of the relations between the two groups. Along the banks of the Arkansas and Mississippi rivers, far from Paris, Madrid, and London, European colonialism met neither accommodation nor resistance but incorporation. Placing Indians at the center of the story, DuVal shows both their diversity and our contemporary tendency to exaggerate the influence of Europeans in places far from their centers of power.

There are two sides of life: life's creativity and life's eternal being. Life's creativity is experienced as world, body, and mind. Life's eternal being is experienced as awareness itself. Your true life and self is your awareness, and your awareness is unchanging and unchangeable. As our awareness, we are all one and the same. Awareness is the place of oneness. Everyone's unchanging awareness is life's eternal being. Awareness itself is the place of safety, peace, and freedom. Everything else is a passing experience within life's creativity.

We live in a matrix of misperception. Things are not what they seem to be. We live with a false sense of self and a false worldview. Our life doesn’t come from our body, it comes from life itself. Bodies don’t create life, bodies are created by life itself. Everyone’s life is the life of life itself. Life creates a world in order to have adventures within it. Life creates bodies so it can live through them and have adventures. Awareness itself is life’s self-place and eternal being. This is true perception. This is living as life’s self-knowing.

What makes a person liberal or conservative? Why does the Democratic Party scare off so many possible supporters? When does our "injustice trigger" get pulled, and how can fairness overcome our human need to look for a zero-sum outcome to our political battles? Daniel Meegan suggests that American liberals are just missing the point. If progressives want to win the vote, they need to change strategy completely and champion government benefits for everyone, not just those of lower income. Fairness, he writes, should be selfishly enjoyed by everyone.

A human life is designed to be a life of enjoyment, discovery, and understanding. The more we discover and understand, the closer we get to seeing the bigger picture of life. The bigger picture of life is the oneness of life. Life is not created or produced by something other than itself. Life itself is the creator. Life creates different bodies to live through. Everyone’s life is the life of life itself. Everyone’s true self is their awareness: awareness itself. Awareness itself is life’s eternal being and unchanging self-place.
