A preview of the post-mechanistic, holistic world in 2020 and 2030 as well as a map of the obstacles we must overcome to get there
• Reveals how the youngest generation is seeding the shift in consciousness
• Explains how society will be reorganized into grassroots networks like those revealed by quantum physics and experienced through social media
• With contributions from futurist John L. Petersen, ex-CEO of Sanyo Tomoya Nonaka, media activist Duane Elgin, and other visionaries
The world is changing. The transition from the mechanistic worldview to one that recognizes the interconnectedness of all life is upon us. It is the dawning of the Akashic Age. The Akashic field that connects the universe is now recognized by cutting-edge science. What we know about communication, energy, and consciousness is rapidly evolving in tandem with the new quantum worldview. Many adults are consciously evolving to meet the transitional challenges at hand, while today’s youth have arrived already hard-wired with the new consciousness. Rising from the ashes of the old systems, this Phoenix generation of radical change agents is seeding our evolution and spiritual transformation, a process that will continue over the next few decades.
Authors Ervin Laszlo and Kingsley Dennis look at the chief engine of the coming changes–the growing global understanding of nonlocality–and the development of practical applications for it. They examine how the new values and new consciousness taking hold will reorganize society from top-down hierarchies into grassroots networks like those revealed through quantum physics’ understanding of energy and information waves and experienced daily by millions through social media.
With contributions from visionary thinkers such as futurist John L. Petersen, ex-CEO of Sanyo Tomoya Nonaka, media activist Duane Elgin, systems scientist Alexander Laszlo, and spiritual economist Charles Eisenstein, this book explores the future of education, spirituality, the media, economics, food, and planetary citizenship as well as the expansion of consciousness necessary to reach that future.
It isn’t as bleak as you might think. The first four chapters present a rather black outlook for our future. However, beginning with chapter five, the book takes a positive turn and explains how the future is better than ever. I have long thought that the next evolutionary step for mankind is embodied in the Internet. This author supports this contention with plenty of examples. My adult daughter says she reads a few pages every night before going to bed – it is a good, positive feeling to understand how everything will be fine.
Working Together for the New Age I have read and reviewed the last two of Ervin Laszlo’s books and had great expectations for Dawn of the Akashic Age. It was not what I expected, but it greatly surpassed my expectations and filled a very needed place in my thinking. With my numerous friends who see the end of the world and the extinction of the human race coming by 2030 or earlier, their best hope is that with our extinction and the end of our dominion over the earth, other life on earth will survive. Though this book admits this possibility, it also presents a more hopeful scenario that we will survive into a new age, offers many believable reasons why and how we will survive, and describes what this new age will be like. This change will come about by the people of the world coming together to demand sustainability, peace, harmony and tolerance to diversity, and that we work together in cooperation for these goals. The current powers, whether politicians or corporate executives, will need to come aboard…
A VIEW OF THE FUTURE? This is the fourth book I have read by Laszlov. I rated each of the first three FIVE STAR because they all clearly reflected the brilliance in the author’s understanding of the human condition. I rated this book 5-star as well for specific reasons. However, I was truly disappointed with many of his flawed (in my opinion) conclusions. First, most people’s understanding of the Akashic Record is that of a field of knowledge and information which naturally exists in a quantum state of consciousness throughout the universe and is the matrix upon which everything in the cosmos is constructed. Matter, energy, biology and consciousness are all inter-connected. Many, myself included, accept this concept as being scientifically established through modern principles of quantum mechanics … specifically, entanglement and nonlocality. I didn’t find any reference or inclusion of this undertanding in the book. In fact, I was very confused by the author’s use of the term “akashic.” His use is…
