Description
What do today's truthers have in common with those from early civilization? There has always been the struggle to preserve privately known truth, in the face of a divergent public agenda.
Recent trends, however, have heightened this struggle, making the time ripe for outing certain truths:
(1) What is behind the recent rise in the number of highly unusual reported news tragedies being called out by truthers? Could this have something to do with the steepening of technology's parabolic curve, and the accompanying compounding of risks to the world's continued existence?
(2) The secret of eternal life: Explicit information reconciling religion with science, which has been known to many privately. With the modern unregulated internet it was only a matter of time before this essential information was accessible publicly... to the potential benefit of millions of people worldwide.
The book avoids discussion of specific truther events, for which there is adequate coverage on the alternative media. Instead, it gets to the heart of the matter: the struggle between the world and more local levels of life (communities, families, and individuals), and specifically mentions the gun control agenda as a current manifestation of that struggle. People are highly polarized on these issues. The book therefore takes an elliptical approach drawing from diverse ideas allowing readers space to find a higher common ground. And, could it be that this struggle is what underlies 5,000 years of religion?
The book discusses but does not predict an end of the world scenario. Certainly the potential is there. Think of the world as if it were someone getting ready to perform a high wire act. Think of the struggle discussed in the previous paragraph as part of the preparation. After much practice and many false starts, I anticipate a good enough performance, despite the considerable risks.
