Abstract
Sacred Eyes is a
book of extraordinary power and vision, telling humanity's spiritual
evolution while at the same time enabling us to author-ize our own
personal story. The purpose of our collective childhood was physical
evolution. We reached our current anatomical state abour 150,000 years
ago, and than began developing our first deep soul-level value system.
It was a feminine value system, emphasizing our unity with nature,
nurturance, peace, cooperation. and tracing one's lineage back through
one's mother. We worshiped what appeared to be the feminine power
behind it all, the Mother Earth Goddess. About 10,000 years ago we
started the transformation into our adolescence, with ego and mental
development being our evolutionary purpose. We switched from feminine
to masculine values - albeit an adolescent masculinity - and switched
our worship to a Father God. Patriarchy, hierarchy, reductionism, rigid
belief systems, and control through violence became the dominant
values. Three hundred years ago we left the Father and started our
prodigal son adventure, worshiping science whose theology was a
sill-adolescent value system of masculinity, materialism, and machines.
Now, on the threshold of the 21st century, we are entering the next
major transformation of humanity's soul, with spiritual evolution
becoming our primary developmental agenda. We must welcome the next
leap of evolution and grow up into adult maturity - soon! - if we are
to continue the human journey. The result will be nothing less than a
new heaven and a new earth - an entirely new kind of human being, a
transformed soul with a new deep value system and a new concept of God.
Sacred Eyes
enables you to find your way through this epoch-sized transformation -
helping you to leave behind the old immaturities and welcome the new
evolutionary energies of spiritual maturity. By becoming user-friendly
with the emergent values that will shape the 21st century, trasform our
personal lives, and change all our public institutions, you can captain
your own ship as you sail across the oceanic view of human evolution.
