<p>FUNCTION. The Whole Earth Epilog functions as an evaluation and access device. With it, the user should know better what is worth getting and where and how to do the getting. An item is listed in the EPILOG if it is deemed: 1) Useful as a tool, 2) Relevant to an independent education, 3) High quality or low cost, 4) Easily available by mail. PURPOSE. We are as gods, and may as well get used to it. This might include losing the pride that went before the fall we are in the process of taking. Rolling with such a fall is our present lesson - learning whatever resilience, ingenuity, basic skills, and enthused detachment that survival requires. And learning perhaps to reverence some Gods who are not as us.</p>

<p>We are as gods and we might as well get used to it. So far remotely done power and glory - as via government, big business, formal education, church - has succeeded to the point where gross defects obscure actual gains. In response to this dilemma and to these gains a realm of intimate, personal power is developing - the power of individuals to conduct their own education, find their own inspiration, shape their own environment, and share the adventure with whoever is interested. Tools that aid this process are sought and promoted by The Next Whole Earth Catalog.</p>
