Book Cover & Preview Text
We are stardust. We began as such, and we will end as such.
The entire evolution of humankind has been an ever accelerating search for and return to our home, and to our Creator.
Take a look at the clear night sky, feel the deep love of another, listen to the elegant wisdom and timeless grace of the aged, or take in a masterpiece. This all could not have happened by accident, and, it most certainly did not happen by accident. Therefore, it was designed, and designed for us, fellow travelers.
The question is: “Why?” The answers are not simple, but we can grasp at them, based upon what we know of life.
A clue as to the purpose lies in our own evolution, whether of thought, of spirit, of action, or of body. We know that when we evolve correctly, what some religions call, ‘finding the way’ or ‘following the path’, that life begins to offer us a daily, steady menu of treasures, small blessings, and with the passage of time, larger miracles.
It is harder for many to see the beauty, to smell the roses, to slow down long enough to make room for grace inside of our minds, and within our over programmed lives. It is from the perspectives of those who knowingly drink from the cup of life’s purposes that this book is written.
Some among us deny the evolution of our bodies. They do not ask why we have four wisdom teeth, one coccyx, ten fingernails, and a built in fear of each and every one of the creepy, crawly animals and insects.
Some among us deny spiritual evolution. They do not ask why we have to learn first not to lie, cheat and steal about missing cookies, so that we later do not do the same on bigger playgrounds with other people’s money, innocence, or spirit.
Some among us deny the evolution of our thought. They do not ask why each and every major advancement of humankind has come from an infinite mixing of the thoughts of others, diverse peoples, to cook up new theories, like taking frozen genius from the icebox of the ages, mixing it over the flames of trial and error, producing newer, better recipes.
Some among us deny the evolution of our actions. They do not ask why we take better care of that which we think we own, and that the more we share, the more we own, and that the truth of an ever expanding humanity is sharing more with ever greater numbers of fellow travelers, and that sharing is love, which is all we really needed in the first place.
It is easier for some not to ask the hard questions, but to deny. It is for these fellow travelers that this book is written.
The purpose of life is to evolve, embracing the forces that took stardust and forged an intelligence, over eons of time and light years of space, with just the right amount of drive, and just the right quality of spirit to find its way home again.
We’re knocking on heaven’s door. We will all go home. There is a purpose. The design of life is good. The pathway of evolution is efficiency, elegance, improvement and fulfillment.
We are all God’s children, and we are made of stardust. Teams accomplish much more c

About the Book
In his 5th book, Dr. Dosemagen again demonstrates his considerable story telling capacity. This writing shifts in focus from entertaining short stories, (as in The Impossible) and novels (as in Prodigies and The Trigger) toward a how-to book offering a road map toward a new model of transformational leadership. Though Human Engineering is first and foremost a book about succeeding ethically, it does not stray far from Dosemagen’s first love: biting, yet cogent social commentary.
Picking up where his Rediscovering the American Dream ends, this book expands the realm of social responsibility beyond the borders of the
The book opens with Dosemagen’s visions of the past and the future; he summons an Hegelian dialectic, beginning in a primordial setting where humankind lacks language and norms, and evolves through increasingly complex social and physical attributes. It culminates with the loftiest elements of modern American culture, which he sees as very good.
Yet, the book articulates the many problems that remain unsolved. What does Dosemagen see as the next evolutionary step for humankind? For those who have attained the requisite morality and intellect, he claims the future calls for human engineering – an enlightened, humanistic equation that unites humanity and works to make life both fairer and easier to understand. The work climaxes with an explanation of his simple human engineering equation: Success = People X Effort + Cause.
