Why is the human world in such a mess? Are our freedoms being eroded? It very much seems the human world is now being dragged into a dystopian future by a global corporatocracy that is already destroying the natural world and exterminating other species. It is time for change. Time for us to step beyond the destructive matrix of materialism for even as we stand on the brink of the precipice we are also on the edge of a new cosmic perspective that could change everything. Around us and within us is the amazing power and incredible wonder of a Greater Reality of which our world is a small but important part.. Once we see beyond the materialist delusion a whole new way of being opens up that brings with it a new vision for both personal and global transformation.
