About the Book
After searching for a unifying common platform incorporating all faiths but with no success (only his atheist friends responded positively!), the author reflects on the conditions to realise John Lennon’s Utopian dream depicted in his famous song ‘Imagine’ and discovers that the organization of the United Nations needs reforming, adding an element of supra-nationality to it and redefining the nations’ rights to vote.
