The Galactic Era of Mankind

The Galactic Era of Mankind: Engaging the Transition to Oneness is a book aimed at priming the reader for the new era looming on the horizon. It is a broad critique encompassing a variety of subjects and issues, including a number of long forgotten ideas and deliberately hidden information whose absence in contemporary society, not without irony, spells out the painful systemic breakdown now in progress. The book is 90,000 words long, containing over 200 items in its bibliography.

The author discusses "the full deck of cards": spirituality, the sciences, religious dogma, the occult, technology, history, extraterrestrials, propaganda, ethics, law, media, mysticism, aesthetics, politics, war, and government. More importantly, the author examines how these subjects relate to each other. By contrasting notions, establishing links, and correlating ideas, new means of interpreting experience are created. Upgrading one's mental attitude is both urgent and indispensable for a successful transition to the galactic era. This is the central objective of the book.

The Galactic Era of Mankind is a journey to a past that you were never told about, which for that reason can change your outlook on the future. At the same time, it is a journey inward that reclaims the power of virtue and self-realization, dealing with the redemption of free will and spiritual knowledge (gnosis). At bottom, the book is a quest for the purity that symbolizes the heroes of mankind, their message and lasting power. That is where we find both the inspiration and the tools to face our own transformation as spiritual beings.

The ideas of Plato, the music of Beethoven, the nonviolence of Gandhi, the clarity of Averroes, the numbers of Pythagoras, the muses of Friedrich Schiller, the clairvoyance of Nikola Tesla, the holiness of Jesus, the courage of Alexander of Macedon, to cite but a few of the exponents discussed in the book, are revealed to be expressions of a same set of instructions whose purpose is to free the human individual from ignorance and fear. One can hardly think of a more timely message.

After all, the Internet has by now shown to everyone that the world we knew just one generation ago has crumbled. There is no credibility left because the corruption is ubiquitous. Simple as that. Everyone knows it and even those affected by cognitive dissonance can feel it. The world we knew is gone; it passed. Sure, you can still feel it, like the amputee feels a phantom limb. So, what comes next?

Most people believe that something huge and never before experienced is upon us. So, what is it? The Apocalypse? The Second Coming of Christ? The end of times? Ascension? Judgment Day? Revelation? The Great Awakening? Admittedly, each one of these events is supposed to change the order of things and purify the world. Yet, none of them depicts the kind of world that awaits us afterwards. Meanwhile, the aftermath of the event is the aspect that really matters to us, is it not?

What, then, will follow the so-called Apocalypse? The galactic era of mankind is the answer. Our race is about to begin a transition from a planetary to a galactic status. Make no mistake, we are before a massive shift that calls for a radical recalibration of mindset.

The book starts by making a review of things past. How exactly did we get into such a deplorable state of affairs? Following a fair degree of reckoning, the main themes are introduced and developed. In the end, the courage to recognize and correct mistakes can affirm our commitment to learning anew, seeking the clarity that we need to face the transition ahead with serenity and confidence.
