Who is Atlas Teru?

Like all of us, my life created me, forged and shaped my insights – from universal perspectives.

Being all of American, African, and Asian, I was born to love, and to live all sides, of the effects, and affects of the blend.

Being American, equals to culturally European, when combined with African, and East Asian – while living near and with Latinos, lends a human-centric outlook – to nuanced perspectives on histories and heritages.

These multiple vantages formed a base, a starting point – in search of humanity’s common ground – the core beliefs and habits, instincts if you will, which speak from the human soul.

What I’ve found is this,..

First – There was a time, when our encounters with each other, each interaction, was recognized, as a godsend – a stroke of luck.

Why? Because for most of our human timeline, we were hunted, by beasts, disasters, and weather.

Many of these gifted days of life, were on account of the uncounted miracles, when we were unexpectedly saved – being chased by a lion, who when it was about to pounce, was speared, by an unknown human who just happened by.

Your arm grasped, keeping you, from falling down a cliff to boulders below. You are pulled from the path, of approaching death. That mug of herb tea, the medicine and hugs, we’ve all been rescued – by our human codes.

This family bond, is why we’ve survived, as a species.

Our default mode, is to trust in our fellow humans.

Though is also why, we’ve been taken advantage of, by humans who have forgotten – what human means.

Yet, in our natural state, we see each other – as the powerful allies, connections, we are meant to be. The more connections – the more life protection, and potential.

Second – Life, was once understood, to be precious – which meant, that human life, was sacred.

No human, had the right, over another sacred human life, neither to control, use or take.

This seemingly basic human code, was recognized – as a mutually beneficial circle, good for all humans.

The greatest and most devastating deception, swindle, rip-off ever played on humanity – was to convince us, that our human connections – were threats – and that priceless human life, was worth no more, even to ourselves, than its use, to raiders.

There’s a growing recognition, of the golden reality, of who we are, as humans – of our natural earth granted rights, as humans – and to the vital importance of our relationships, with all of life, especially the human life – as the precious connections, they are.

This collective urge, this yearning instinct, is calling for a return – to our garden, where we were grown and raised on the sunshine, and nutrient rich soil, though not as sustenance, but as cultivators and caretakers, of a global greenhouse.

I feel a soaring hopefulness, just to know, that there are humans on all sides, stepping over of these artificial divides, wanting nothing more, than to regain our species reins over our human trajectory, our human destiny – as is our human right.

The Caucasian Winter, is only the first of four volumes, exploring the hidden human stories, that knit humanity – back together.

In researching this volume, beyond the surprising and profound encounters of my life and cultures, beyond the loud and scarlet examples of the obvious, there was, just waiting acknowledgment, a most deep, heartwarming and intense human story, of humane, socially brilliant, interesting and interested people labeled as ‘white’. Brave and beautifully noble humans, struggling, no less strenuously, against the forces which enslave us all – and not only for themselves, but for humanity.

By Volume Four, it will be clear that we, the 99% of Humanity – while holding out hope for the lost 4% – are Misunderstood, and striving for Magnificence.

I Sincerely Thank you, for taking the time to read my work!

I hope it helps you in some small way, to rediscover your original egalitarian soul, and your connection – to your full human family. Stay tuned for volumes 2 thru 4.
