"Why Are Gas Prices So High?" -- Why I wrote it
In this entry, I want to explain some things about my book “Why Are Gas Prices So High?” – What it’s about, why I wrote it, and why you should read it.
“Why Are Gas Prices So High?”, William Bezanson: Victoria BC: Trafford Publishers, 2006. 171 pages, softcover.
Book website: http://www.trafford.com/05-3106.
Also available from http://www.amazon.com by searching on “Bezanson gas”.
Target readership: General, especially for people who care about the environment and spiritual development.
Why are gas prices so high? Don’t you wish you could do something about them? Do they seem beyond your control? Frustrated? Well, this book suggests something tangible that you can do about high gas prices. Slow down and drive at the speed limit! Follow the charming story of one family who tried just that, and see the miraculous result. This book will change your life, and you will change the world. Read it and respond. You’ll be glad you did! Indeed, we all will be glad you did.
The book follows the growth of Claire Atwater and her Nova Scotian family over a three-year period. It starts with a discussion of gas prices, and forcing them lower by slowing down to drive at the speed limit. It evolves to a spiritual plane on which people slow down to simplify their lives and take responsibility for the world. The speed limit movement spreads rapidly throughout the world, with very beneficial results for people and the environment. The originator of the movement, Claire, is awarded the Order of Canada for her innovation.This book will be appealing to thinking adults who care about the environment and about their children’s future and their own future, not only in this life, but also in subsequent ones. It will be of special interest to spiritual people who have grown beyond conventional religion and who are open to a broad view of reality.
Humanity is ready for a fundamental transformation to a compassionate form of caring for each other and for the world. For example, see the books “Pay It Forward” and “In Praise of Slowness”, and also the “Slow Cities” movement that started in Italy. My book provides a model and inspiration for a grass-roots movement for such a fundamental transformation.
My hope is that people will be attracted to the book, once they realize its deeper significance (human evolution, not merely gas prices) because they are yearning for something deeper in their lives. They have become tired of the superficial rat race of instant gratification, trite entertainment, over-committments, frustration with lack of personal effectiveness, and relinquishing their responsibility for caring for their world to others: political leaders, religious leaders, and institutional leaders. As explained above, humanity is ready for a fundamental transformation.
Caring for the environment cannot be imposed from above through regulations, laws, standards, taxation, or quotas. Fundamental caring means becoming proper stewards for the world. Such stewardship starts with the person: caring for oneself first, then one’s family, then all of humanity, and then the world. This book, “Why Are Gas Prices So High?”, provides an inspiring example of individual people doing just that: raising their sights to a higher level of caring, to the point of sparking a world-wide movement that triggers the next stage in humanity’s evolution.
My ultimate hope is that readers will internalize the book’s message, and that they will be inspired to follow its example in their own lives. By spreading the word to others, and by leading by example, readers will enable fiction to become reality. In the book humanity is saved by slowing down to find inner peacefulness, and the world is saved through less gas consumption causing less air pollution. In the real world, readers of this book will facilitate real humanity and the real world to be saved.
The central message of the book is summed up on page 120 and 121, where Cindy is being interviewed by Luke:
- She asked, “May I explain why I drive the speed limit?”
- Luke replied, sort of semi-reluctantly, “OK! Go ahead.”
- “Well, I want to save the earth’s resources and its health not just for my children and grandchildren, which is the usual reason that people give. My interest is for them, yes, but also because I’ll be back, too, and I want the earth and all its people to be in good shape.”
- Luke couldn’t hold back his question: “What do you mean, you’ll be back?”
- “Yes, We’ll all be back. In another life. You see, reincarnation and karma are facts of life.”
