Presentation The importance of developing a collective consciousness. This book is a real how-to manual to help us overcome our limited and self-centered viewpoints to broaden our awareness to the community. And not only human but also all the kingdoms that share this planet with us and far beyond. It is not about giving up our own development but making it useful to as many people as possible. From there we can finally participate in a universal fraternity. ‘Each individual must work for his own development, for his own enrichment, provided that he does not do it only for himself, but for the good of the community. At that point, we no longer spoke only of collectivity but of fraternity. The community is not yet the brotherhood. Fraternity is a community where there is real cohesion, because each individual works consciously for the good of all. In reality, there are three categories of individuals in a society that correspond to three levels of consciousness: those who want to work alone, isolated, withdrawn; those who have understood the advantages they can derive from collective life and who come together, but only because they have an interest in it, without knowing or loving each other well; and finally those who learn to live more fraternally by deepening more and more in themselves the consciousness of universality.’ Omraam Mikhaël Aïvanhov Table of contents 1 - What is a Sect? 2 - No Church is Eternal 3 - The Spirit Behind the Form 4 - The Advent of the Church of St. John 5 - The Foundations of a Universal Religion 6 - The Great Universal White Brotherhood 7 - For a Universal Notion of the Family 8 - Brotherhood, a Higher State of Consciousness 9 - The Annual Conventions at the Bonfin 10 - The Universal Dimension of All Our Activities

With recent events such as the nationwide protests of the murder of Trayvon Martin and the "one-percent's" monopolization of the national economy Universal Brotherhood is on time with addressing both racist and oppressive circumstances that we live under today, while offering Quranic solutions to address them. Universal Brotherhood begins with an analysis of both the Quran and the Bible in terms of race, economic exploitation, and the ethical standards that lead to oppressive circumstances. This work shows how modern circumstances are a result of centuries old practices which began in Biblical times and carried out through America's colonial period to the present. This work engages topics that the Quran is against such as "slave interest," institutional racism, the destruction of family, nationalism, and religious approval of holy blood lines. The second half of Universal Brotherhood proposes answers to these dilemmas from the Quran that anyone can follow despite their race or religion. The author shares personal experiences of his own life while interviewing other Muslims from diverse backgrounds to show that these solutions are not only spoken, but lived. Rasuwl's work is unique in the aspect that no other author has confronted modern racism and oppression with solutions from the Quran that do not conflict with the beliefs of other monotheistic religions.
