2016 Edition. If you're concerned about the current state of the world, the well-being of yourself and your family, and the future of our civilization, this book is an important read.
While deep in the vast wilderness of the Himalayan mountains the author experiences a truly extraordinary opportunity. A series of adventures lead him to an ancient Oracle Temple in the highlands of Tibet. There he has the chance to speak with a true shamanistic Oracle from the esoteric B'on wisdom tradition. The author's discussion with the Oracle covers a wide range of subjects, revealing a series of profound insights and revelations.
A brief excerpt of the Oracle's comments regarding our present civilization:
"The life of a government springs from the life of its people, the life of the people from the life of their mind, the life of their mind determines the life of their land. This life is found only with freedom—from deception, from destruction, from the false—life is found in freedom to recognize and express the true. Among your Founders were enlightened ones; your form of government was designed and implemented to assure individual freedom and nurture individual spirituality and creativity. It has undergone an immense swing to the opposite pole; it now assures nothing but mass order at any cost and nurtures nothing but the imposition of mass materiality and meaningless mass productivity. Freedom is gone, replaced by economic seeking and monetary accumulation. You are far too enamored of this illusory security to be capable of freedom. Yet materiality is utterly and absolutely false. The resulting emptiness of life and depletion and destruction of the earth telegraph this with alarming clarity. A government that fails to honor truth, fails to honor life, fails to honor the earth, invites destruction: It cannot endure. And so it will not."
"In your country what was once a government of reason and law has been replaced by a tyranny of men. The sovereignty of the people has become a sovereignty of manipulators, politicians as conscious agents of a great deception, the power of which dements even more than it corrupts. Your society is divided into a tiny group of men who choose and decide, a small number of others who know far less and decide nothing yet wield power in conformity with the hidden policies—those who gather in your congress to go through the motions of democracy’s ghost—and the ignorant masses, compelled to act and live in total incomprehension of the meaning of their movements, and so their lives."
There is no trace of mocking or bitterness in the Oracle's voice, only a certain weariness, a calm acceptance of what is.
An extraordinary account that is inspirational, thought provoking, and richly enlightening, this book will impact you and stay with you long after the last words have been read.
