Publisher's Synopsis

Prophets and scientists predict an apocalyptic end to our millennium and focus on the next ten years as being the most dangerous, yet potentially most transforming epoch that we have ever faced.;This work begins with a survey of the original blue-print of our species, revealing that we are richly endowed with virtually unknown talents, that we only manage to use a fraction of that potential genetic inheritance and our normal everyday consciousness is nothing at all like our true natural state. The author considers whether our species as a whole has somehow taken a wrong turning.;It is considered that every so often a crisis occurs in evolution and at such a time a changeling appears and steps through. The author, who lived in seculsion for almost a decade in India, returning only recently to the West which he found had accelerated out of all recognition while he was away, poses the question of whether our species has become insane and whether it is time for a new reckoning and for a new, sane being to take our place.
