The universe knew we were coming. Through billions of years of exploding stars, It had us in mind all of that time. It made the conditions perfect to bring us to where we are now, a conscious ape, under the Sun, now awake and aware that the Cosmos is one. Now we are here, fully formed, and ready to play our role in unfolding, mysterious Cosmic life, in the emerging, magnificent whole. Lift your eyes to the skies above and let yourself mentally fly. Dance the dance of Oneness now. As you whirl in place let yourself shout: “I have come from the world of men, to dance my part in the cavalcade. I have come to fulfill my destiny. Let the Cosmic games begin!”

About the Book
We are evolving rapidly. It’s a good thing, because we have exhausted this current phase in the unfolding evolution of our consciousness. For a couple of millennia, we have been wholly trapped in separateness. In the last 400 years, we also have been trapped in the mesmerizing material world. It has produced a worldview with a vision of the Cosmos as a dead, empty void, mechanically revolving like clockwork, with only a few bits of life, like ourselves, in it. This worldview has left us in desolation and despair.
Now things are shifting. All over the world, a new consciousness is emerging. Spawned in large part by the discoveries of quantum physics, this new awareness is moving us toward a re-ensoulment of the world. We are realizing that the Cosmos is awake and aware, and that livingness and consciousness are elements of Its primordial nature. We are realizing, incrementally, that the unfolding of the Cosmos is a single, seamless, creative event, and that we are the end product of that vast emergence. We are realizing that the story of the Cosmos, from the Big Bang to us, is our story, and that we are the Cosmos in human form. This awareness traces ancient realizations, literally thousands of years old. We are now recapturing Living Divinity, which exists all around us, and of which we are an integral part. It comes not a moment too soon.
