Book Cover & Preview Text
Selfishness, corruption, abuse of power and greed (SCAG), which dominates in all our political, religious, public service and financial institutions worldwide, is largely responsible for condemning over 1 billion people in our world to a life of poverty, starvation, conflict and war. While science and technology have made major advances in recent times, human consciousness has not evolved in any meaningful way for thousands of years. The SCAG culture that brought down the Roman Empire two thousand years ago is the same SCAG that caused the global financial collapse in 2008. To overcome SCAG we need a new understanding of life.
At a macro level scientists accept that dark matter and dark energy influence the behaviour of the universe. Dark matter exerts a force similar to gravity and dark energy is the force responsible for the continuing expansion of the universe. Scientists estimate the universe is made up of 4% ordinary matter, 26% dark matter and 70% dark energy. However at a micro level, scientists believe that life is purely a physical phenomenon and that dark matter and dark energy have no influence on it – 96 % of that which constitutes the universe has no influence on life!! In this book the author suggests that dark matter is the force pulling life to lower complexity and consequently pulling human consciousness towards selfishness, which is the source of SCAG.
He further suggests that dark energy is the force that has the potential to pull life to higher complexity, causing human consciousness to expand and therefore be more inclusive. However the dark energy aspect of life is denied by science and by humanity in general. Therefore there is no force to counteract dark matter which pulls life to lower complexity and therefore towards SCAG.To overcome SCAG we must first acknowledge that dark energy influences life and is the force that causes human consciousness to expand – and therefore be more inclusive. We then must nurture this aspect of our being.
This will help human consciousness to evolve to a more enlightened paradigm where care and compassion will be extended to all human beings. This is Humanity’s Path to Freedom – freedom from selfishness, corruption, abuse of power and greed; and consequently from poverty, starvation, conflict and war.

About the Book
Nobody knows how life was first breathed into the first atom, molecule, or cell; all biologists can do is to suggest the most reasonable possibilities by analysing the oldest DNA available. Scientists postulate that life emerged from non-life via natural processes about 3.7 billion years ago. It then evolved (and continues to evolve) to higher levels of complexity based on mutation, natural selection, and time. In other words, scientists believe that life is purely a physical phenomenon.
There are logical arguments, based on scientific concepts, suggesting that dark energy is a non-physical force that influences life and is the source of reason, intelligence, compassion, and love. If we acknowledge and nurture this non-physical (dark energy) aspect of our beings, it will bring balance to our minds and move us from selfishness to love, care, and compassion.
Is this the path to freedom from selfishness, corruption, abuse of power, and greed; and consequently from poverty, starvation, conflict and war?
About the Author
Tom Cahalan qualified as a mechanical engineer in 1974. For the past twelve years he has been researching the interconnectedness between the universe, life, and human consciousness. He published Beyond the Horizon: Where Science Finds God in 2012. This book describes the creation and structure of the universe and also looks at biological evolution and the development of human consciousness. It explains the interconnectedness between all aspects of reality, from the source of the universe to life, mind, and human consciousness. Finally, it discusses the influences that religion, politics, and science have on human consciousness and consequently on the world in which we live.
Tom lives in the town of Clane in County Kildare, Ireland with his wife. They have five children and one grandson.
