This book has six major goals:

One: The book presents a new way to think about the development of human consciousness.

Two: The book presents a new category of special education called "navigational disability."

Three: The book presents a philosophical and evolutionary new way to define the author's profession "orientation and mobility."

Four: The book honors the lives of remarkable blind individuals. The author has created a title for people on a mission called "Knights for the Blind in the Battle Against Darkness."

Five: The book features the ideas and the mission of Daniel Kish and his organization World Access for the Blind.

Six: The book contains vignettes that reflect the authors interests and passions. It is, therefore, (and in retrospect), a kind of memoir.

Perhaps most importantly, this book is a source of inspiration for anyone who reads it. Stories about amazing figures, such as Helen Keller and Anne Sullivan, bring to life the unusual energy and dedication of the Knights for the Blind. The accompanying exploration of consciousness is new and fascinating and is a valuable contribution to this complex subject.

The first in a series of connected works, Bugs, Blindness, and the Pursuit of Happiness is about the meaning of life and our desire to be happy-despite all obstacles. Get ready for a new understanding of human spiritual makeup and consciousness that will forever change your view of those with disabilities.
