Introduction

We live in a time when the plague of Western culture of capitalism spreads across Earth. The culture embodies in all its forms the willingness to harm others for self-benefit and then ignore the suffering we cause. Its omnicidal ways lead to collapse of life on Earth.

The path of the sacred Earth Interbeing furthers life on Earth. We write these essays for those on this path, people who know the sacredness of all life and the Earth. As for any sacred path, the path to further life on Earth remains a work in progress. Each essay applies a brush of words to an ever transforming canvas.

Westerners cannot know what to do until we have overcome our wrong views and discipline ourselves to stop behaving in ways that harm others, life, and the Earth. We first must work on what Western culture has corrupted within our own being.

This annotated bibliography offers resources to learn more about Western capitalism and culture, views that challenge the wrong views of Western culture, and the sacred path to further life on Earth.

May you find these resources supportive of your sacred path to further life on Earth.
