    About this ebook

    This epic search for a new civilization has been called a "heroic journey." In 1955, Harvard student Bob Gebelein saw the threat of nuclear annihilation as proof of total systems failure. He was the American dream come true, but he wasn't happy. He saw "The Waste Land" by T.S. Eliot as his world. So he turned his back on the culture and set out to design a new civilization - new values, new beliefs, new ideals, new goals, a new standard of living, a new way of thinking, and a new way of life. RE-EDUCATING MYSELF is the story of his search and the answers that he found. His methods were psychotherapy, withdrawal from the culture, and dream analysis, taking advantage of the self-steering process. This is "the road less traveled" traveled, and beyond, to discover a transition point in human psychological growth where "human nature" itself changes, from competitive self-interest to compassion and altruism. If a majority of people reached this point, we would have a new civilization.

    Second Edition, retyped in digital form with language updated and a Preface added. Originally published in 1985.

    Author

    Bob Gebelein

    Bob Gebelein graduated from Harvard with a bachelor's degree in mathematics in 1956, and went on to have a legendary career as a computer programmer and creator of software systems. But the main focus of his adult life has been to create a new civilization, due the threat of nuclear annihilation and other cultural problems. His methods were psychotherapy, withdrawal from the culture, and dream analysis. He succeeded in his quest by discovering how "human nature" itself can be changed, to compassion and altruism, to create a new kind of human being, who will then create a new civilization. His book, Re-Educating Myself, describes his search and the answers that he found. The Mental Environment describes the network of lies from which he extricated himself. Dirty Science exposes the unscientific methods that have blocked our knowledge of the psychic and the spiritual. In Happiness and Survival, he is putting all this together to show how his solution for human survival is being blocked by an academic establishment that is actually removing knowledge from our culture.

      How do you define ‘onlyness’? The word actually doesn’t appear in the English dictionary, but I would argue that it should. Simply put, it means that anyone’s — and quite possibly everyone’s — ideas matter. The genesis of the word starts with the fac
