The Twin Towers Trilogy: A Spirituality for the Age of Terrorism

Sal Umana decided to publish his third book as part of a trilogy called The Twin Towers Trilogy containing his first two books The Day God Died and The Day My Ego Died and now a third called Back to earth: A Spirituality for the Age of Terrorism.Sal rocked the religious world when he wrote his first book after the terrorist attack on the World Trade Center. Sal a psychotherapist imagined God coming to him with an identity crisis. In Doing Therapy for God the author imagines God being upset by so many religious people who did so many ugly things to their fellow human beings in the name of God. Who was this God they worshiped? The psychotherapist author tells God: The reason you have been so depressed since Sept. 11 is that you are so disappointed at all the so-called People of Faith who pretend to speak for You and then go against Your very nature as LOVE and then go out and dominate oppress hate and kill all in the name of God.Happily it all ended up okay because Sal sang a paean of praise to the real God calling God the One the True the Good and the Beautiful and finally Love itself. We dont know if God fell for this but a year later in The Day My Ego Died Sal goes to God and asks God to do a course of therapy on him. It was in the course of this treatment that Sal was asked to commit Ego suicide for no reason whatsoever except that God didnt have an Ego so why should he? You dont understand? Then read the book. This should have been enough but along comes the tenth anniversary of the Twin Towers Tragedy and Sal sees a team of Navy Seals wipe out Osama Bin Laden and we are back to Christian triumphalist revenge. So Sal Christian pacifist had to write a third book on Spirituality for the Age of Terrorism. First he had to explain the God Who Never Was and the God Who always Was. But God was fine. It was Sals not quite dead Ego that needed the work. This he expands upon in the Third Chapter The Dark Night of the Ego. The Fourth Chapter is about Living Without Ego which really is about being a lover and accepting that we are all One with God. Finally we all need to practice dying so in the Fifth Chapter Dying Without Ego he has some delightful tips on how to die each day actually how to die each moment so that we will be so ready for death that we will enjoy it like going to a family reunion.
