FUTURE is the spiritual story of humanity. There are many books which are histories of humanity; they are different depending on the point of view of the author. Many are excited about the human adventure, and are enthused by exploration, empires and progress. Others anticipate catastrophe because of population, capitalism and technology, and their effect on the Earth's ecology.
This book approaches the question from a spiritual perspective, looking at human behaviour and what we can learn from past civilisations and from religions. It explores the question of ancient knowledge, and looks at contemporary humanity with more than the empty lens of materialism. It suggests a way to live that offers peace and bliss, without imposing a solution on the world.
