Good News About the World Falling Apart: The Third Turning of Human Consciousness (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

A fusion of Sapiens and The Power of Now, Good News About the World Falling Apart argues that the crises we face on Earth are the birth pangs of a species. Humans have been here before. We were at an inflection point of this magnitude when we first developed fire and language 200,000 years ago and, again, ten thousand years ago when we learned how to germinate seeds. Although these Turnings could have led to our extinction, each time we used our superpowersimagination and intuitionto transform our despair and attain a new level of consciousness.

The crises we face today announce a Third Turning.

The good news lies in our name, homo sapiens, from the Latin for "one who knows," the same meaning as the word "shaman." In times like these, we have always turned to the shamans among us and it is no different today. Just as such wise ones pioneered fire and language and the germination of seeds, they offer similar guidance today, but this time both the fire and the seed lie in our hearts.

Our work and our redemption today is to crack open our hearts, to kindle the fire inside, to germinate the Heart Seed within us so that we may become a courageous new heart-based species. Good News takes the reader across time, through humans' earlier challenges and triumphs in the First and Second Turnings. Forest then shows how the Third Turning is occurring all around us and that the challenges we face are the call for Homo sapiens to achieve our full potential.

Autorenporträt

Ananda Forest was born George Emery Vaillant in Boston in 1959. He went to Andover, Oberlin and Yale Law School and later taught English at St. Ann's School in Brooklyn. In 1994, he left the city for upstate New York where he worked as a carpenter and mechanic and started seriously following his bliss. He never stopped teaching however: twelve years guiding students of shamanism at Spirit Hollow, the nature and spirituality center he co-founded, and the last twenty years and counting as an adjunct instructor of anthropology, history, and mythology at the Community College of Vermont. He recently moved to northern New Mexico, where he lives with his wife, iishana, in a yurt along the banks of the Rio Grande.
