Rising out of chaos : the new heaven and the new earth

To make it easier for the reader to assimilate the copious information in the book, and to help keep a perspective of the overall philosophy, I propose to use this extended introduction briefly to identify my main themes and to show how they combine to produce a broad overview of the development of `western' spiritual culture. By unravelling often deliberately confused historical information and false religious indoctrination, a radically different picture emerges of the last two millennia. Although most people may not be aware of it, it is in fact now the destiny of the western culture, through the English language, to establish the Unified (Christ) consciousness as the only truly universal power capable of reconciling all humanity. With this in mind, the material presented here will challenge conventional thinking and drastically redefine the accepted version of key events that have shaped our more recent history. "The Second Coming of the Christ Consciousness on Earth is the most thrilling story of our time. Here it is proclaimed through a miraculously restored biblical text and manifested for all to share by the inspired actions of a dedicated few across the Planet. This unusually comprehensive account is compelling reading and convincingly proves that the final and inescapable choice between Love and Fear now challenges each one of us. Free will is ours by Divine decree, but do we hear the call?" Sir George Trevelyan, United Kingdom 1994 "Multiple levels of understanding, rich and stimulating await the reader. This text is a must for daring thinkers of every tradition; there is something for everyone, and above all it gives us hope. The Third Book of the Apocalypse, restored by direct spirit intervention, with its power and magnificence reveals to us the Greater hand and Heart that is ever watching for our responses." Rev.
