Experience being define as actions that structure human existence and experience emanating in time of existence, now, is necessary that man should know how to create his own personal experience and be at peace irrespective of the ugly experiences bedevilling the global world today. Both the global and man’s immediate environment are filled with horror, that mere looking or paying attention to it will throw one’s psychic into insanity. Men now living in an uncontrollable want, love for money and quest for power have grown above measure; the monster of competition and comparison has now become the tradition of everyday living. These have penetrated into all angles of the society starting from politics, economy, education and religion. Religion which is the last hope for the common man is now the mainstream of all these anomalies. Hence, man is left with no place for refuge! Pain and agony have today eaten deep into the fabrics of our global world. What then should man do to regain and maintain his sanity? Where will now be the place of refuge for this entity called man? Man, listen and get it right, you are the only refuge you have; your peace is within you; you are the one to create your experience of peace and disaster! Hence, this work is out to critically educate man on how to create his personal experiences which will lead to his inner peace and development that will also translate to societal peace and development.
