There are two Worlds that people live in that determine their quality of life and how they experience reality: the World of Separation, which can be bleak, threatening, isolating, and cold, and the World of Connectivity, which is often colorful, safe, fulfilling, and warm. These two opposing paradigms of existence, which are reflective of two distinct Views, contain the roots and essence of all human problems, as well as the hope and promise for their successful resolution. The wise voices of many are now telling us that we humans have passed the point of no return and are on the verge of either an evolutionary breakthrough in consciousness – or a complete systemic collapse; the urgent need for quickly pulling ourselves together as One has never been more startlingly compelling. Increasing our capacity for Connectivity, both individually and collectively, may be the key to our survival. This book explores these two paradigms of living in and experiencing the world, and the vast Continuum of Views that spans between them. It also offers the Bridge, a six-element personal system of practice for refining one's View and increasing our ability to expand our inherent energetic Connectivity. It also describes a way to safely navigate the Sea of Rules that creates, governs, shapes, and transforms all of our relationships: personal, community, business, and with modern technology. Connectivity is a Co-efficient of Happiness. Very simply, the more Connectivity you have, the happier you will be. Consistently choosing this View and Moral Compass as one's guide for all that one does, says, feels, and thinks, will not only help incrementally increase one's level of happiness, but it will also assist in the process of evolving to one's highest spiritual potential. Adopting the View expressed by The Connectivity Principle can also contribute to the necessary shift in the collective consciousness that could prevent a worldwide societal breakdown, and see us all on the high road to peace, international cooperation, economic security, and advances in our social development that are beyond our current imagination.

“You hold in your hands a profound invitation:to live your life with the tender heart of a Buddha, a Christ, an earthly pilgrim who has the potential to be a change agent in the world.  I encourage you to read these pages slowly.  Take their wisdom and loving kindness to heart, letting them guide, inspire, and bless your walk as a precious being interconnected in oneness with all other sentient beings.”

              Michael Bernard Beckwith, Founder, Agape International Spiritual Center; Author of Spiritual Liberation and Life Visioning

 

“Stephen Long’s The Connectivity Principle offers us a wide-ranging template for rediscovering the essential connectivity that underlines our existence at multiple levels: with all humanity, with the earth, and with the entire universe. Bringing contemplative insights to bear on ethics, livelihood, community life, business engagements, and technological innovation, this book offers a key to creating a world marked by greater kindness, compassion, and mutual respect—all qualities so necessary if we are to live together peacefully on this beautiful planet.”

“This is a book for seekers of all directions, a marvelous integration of great philosophies with modern disciplines, and a most timely and practical guide for all of us living in this modern literal web of connectivity. Having been well read, traveled, searched, practiced, and experienced himself, the author shares his thoughts and advice compassionately with no reservation. This book is an open invitation for everyone to connect and re-connect. Enjoy it!”
