A prescription for the global crisis from our leading psychedelic thinker - now in paperback!

Drawing on a huge range of resources and references, radical futurist andphilosopher Daniel Pinchbeck presents a compelling argument for the need for changeon a global basis - namely, that it is only when we see ourselves as one planetary tribe that this change can occur. His central thesis is that humanity has self-willed the ecological crisis in order to bring about the necessary conditions for an initiatory ordealon a planetary scale. This collective ordeal is necessary for us to evolve from our currentlevel of consciousness to the next. By undergoing this initiation, we realize ourselves asone unified being: a planetary super-organism in a symbiotic relationship with the Earth'secology and the entire web of life.

Covering everything from energy and agriculture to culture, politics, media antideology, Pinchbeck's book is ultimately about the nature of the human soul and thefuture of our current world. He calls for an intentional, consciously designedmetamorphosis of our current systems, which transform capitalist and exclusivestructures into participatory, democratic and inclusive ones, based on an integration ofEastern metaphysics, social ecology and radical political thought.
