Always Drink Upstream from the Herd [Paperback]

Gene Wall Cole (Illustrator)

Book Description

Publication Date: July 1, 1998

"Always Drink Upstream..." was written as a wake-up call, because once you've found water in a desert full of thirsty people, you have to shout: There's water here! The driving philosophical principle behind "Always Drink Upstream..." is that the entire history of human culture is the antagonism between two points of view - a static world view and a dynamic world view, where everything is constantly evolving. History teaches us that the static world view is exceedingly dangerous, and from it have sprung the fanatics of every age. They say "we possess the absolute truth, and all other beliefs are "false." When this mindset holds power in politics, wars and terrorism occur. When they hold sway in religion, persecution.

This review is from: Always Drink Upstream from the Herd (Paperback)

This book and Gene Wall Cole have changed my life. I first heard of Gene Wall Cole in Springfield, Missouri while visiting my sister's church. He held a workshop there. The book tells of Wall's life adventures as he literally turned from death's door and renewed his spirit, coming back from drugs and alcohol and devoting his life to helping others come back. Wall and his book have given me a reason to go on, to forgive myself and others for my past, and to focus on my future.
