Our world is experiencing a complete breakdown of systems that no longer work for us. New ways of thinking and acting are emerging that supplant fear with compassion, secrecy with transparency, and war with peaceful cooperation. We are moving from an age of fear, violence, and materialism to an age of integrity, compassion, and personal fulfillment. When things settle down, we will find ourselves living in a more enlightened place. This book presents a rational explanation of the current chaos, and suggests a well-researched vision of our future. You are invited to set aside everything you know about our world, and consider an unconventional view of what's happening.
