I kept thinking of The Da Vinci Code. Dan Brown’s brilliance is in his ability to use history not only to support a very controversial theory, but to make many readers wholeheartedly believe in its truth. This book does the same. It uses historical references to illuminate changes in human development that are not a result of independent thoughts or actions, but of a collective consciousness. The way the authors explain this history doesn’t leave me questioning if “enlightenment” is a possibility. It leaves me questioning how anyone could deny that humans and the world developed in this very way.
Many congrats to the authors who have accomplished all of this with such craft. It is an important message to be shared, and moreover, a brilliant idea to write an action book about a very real concept everyone wants to share. I look at so many “self-improvement” books, and shut down. This has the ability to speak to so many different readers and change so many lives, including mine, that I am truly impressed.
