The Transformation: A Guide to the Inevitable Changes in Humankind

0/5 ( ratings)

The Transformation opens the way for a new wave of inquiry about the entire nature of social and individual life. In it the reader will find old assumptions demolished and fresh insights discovered. The human change under discussion is no mere “revolution of the young”, nor is it a shift in conventional historical periods. It is a transformation on an anthropological scale leading to what may well be a new human species.
The Transformation already has begun. Present-day death, growth, energy, information, war, man, woman, animal, tree, planet, matter, knowledge, and time are on their way out, even as we live within them. We cannot see the change because we are in the change because we are in it. But from a transcendent viewpoint, the differences between say the Renaissance, the Reformation, and the Enlightenment are insignificant as compared with the difference between Civilization and life before it, or between Civilization and the coming “mystical union”. On the one level, The Transformation deals with an alternate system of perceiving and being, and thus must be placed in a category all its own. “After all the journeying,” says Leonard, “all the pain and joy, we may discover that the Transformation was difficult to grasp, not because it was so far away, but because it was so very near. To find the immense world of delight is in the end, to come home again, where it always was.”
For the reader this book should be a revelatory experience in awareness. After reading it, nothing will ever be quite the same.
