    About this ebook

    Human society, as we know it, goes back some 200,000
    years to a time when we learned to speak and communicate
    our thoughts. The Nine Pillars of History are defined from
    nine basic requirements for a healthy and prosperous society
    during the following 190,000 years of Hunting and Gathering.
    Sexuality, a fundamental human need that goes even further
    back in history than society, had to be mitigated with a social
    rule: The Golden Rule.
    The Nine Pillars of History are used as non-political common denominators to judge
    the political evolution of some thirty major countries or cultures. In addition, the Pillars
    are partnered with the Golden Rule to explore five world religions, Hinduism, Buddhism,
    Judaism, Christianity and Islam.
    The relevance of The Nine Pillars of History is proven by the fact that they exist
    intergraded across multiple societies since the dawn of time and are still relevant for our
    modern world.
    This historical review reveals that dogmatic religions and harsh politics have caused
    10,000 years of war by challenging the relevance of The Nine Pillars of History.
    Dr. Sevelius gives his views as nonpolitical, nonreligious thoughts. Each paragraph has
    been numbered to offer an easy to use reference system for community discussion of
    specific statements.
    The Nine Pillars of History gives you, Dear Friend and Reader, a vision for peace. As Dr.
    Sevelius respectfully borrows President Lincolns enduring truth, that governments of
    the people, by the people and for the people shall not perish from the earth.

    Author

    Gunnar Sevelius

    Dr. Sevelius is a Swedish American physician with a unique life history. He grew up in neutral Sweden during WWII. With Sweden surrounded by war-torn Europe he married a medical colleague from Estonia. He asked himself, Why do people go to war? Is something wrong with state constitutions? After a busy life as a medical scientist, practicing physician, and medical director at NASA and Lockheed Missile and Space Company and besides farming in both Sweden and California, Dr. Sevelius took up again the question of war. On top of his medical education, he received academic input from professors of history, anthropology, philology, theology, feminism, and economy at Stanford and San Francisco Universities in the United States and Lund University in Sweden. After nine years of complimentary studies, he has created a unique review of social history and human rights free from religious and political prejudices.
