Edward H. Strauch, Ph.D., lived and taught in Europe, Africa, the Middle East, and Micronesia for thirty years. Though he received his Ph.D. in literary criticism and comparative literature, his travels led him to study how traditional beliefs evolved in both non-western and western cultures. From myths, rituals, theisms and cosmologies, he learned how man's archetypal subconscience developed into a religious supraconscience and eventually transformed into the secular supraconscience of modern man, thus creating the supraconscience of humanity.
