Happiness and Survival

Bob Gebelein has moved outside the culture, has discovered things the culture doesn't know, and has written a book for which there is no genre. His discoveries were more psychological than intellectual, through psychotherapy, withdrawal from the culture, and dream analysis. In "Happiness and Survival," he describes his discoveries and the cultural resistance to these discoveries. He says that for personal happiness and survival of the species, everybody needs to go to a psychotherapist.

The message of "Happiness and Survival" is simple: for the survival of our species and personal happiness, everybody needs to go to a psychotherapist. Bob Gebelein shares his journey through the lies of the past to a new civilization, where he can view the academic establishment with some perspective. His solution for human survival is being blocked by an academic establishment that is removing knowledge from our culture. First, Gebelein points out the errors in "spirituality," "physicalism," and the rejection of Freudian/Jungian depth psychology. He then summarizes his search for a new civilization and the answers he found. Dream analysis, with the self-steering process, is a natural, nonauthoritarian method of self-education. Gebelein then shows the series of rejections that he went through and the few successes he had in trying to communicate his discoveries, primarily "the mental senses," the concept of "psychological age," the discovery that the normal person in our culture is psychologically 10 years old, how "human nature" itself can be changed at the psychological age of puberty, and "the self-steering process" of dream analysis. He then goes on to describe how the academic establishment has actually removed knowledge from our culture through rejecting mesmerism, the spiritual, the study of the mind, and the legacy of Freud and Jung. Lastly, Gebelein defines what should rightfully be called "philosophy," summarizes his own philosophy, and attempts to inform the culture of the evil forces lurking in the spiritual realm.

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.
