|   Prologue    Three hundred years ago,  French philosopher René Descartes (1596-1650)  took the liberty to divide our world into two domains, a material domain and a  spiritual domain. The spiritual domain became the subject of religion and the  material domain was allotted to science. It was the start of an independent  journey of a scientific community of scholars freeing themselves from the  hitherto dogmatically established scientific facts dictated by Christianity  with the Bible in their hands as the only source of holy truth. 
 Now after three hundred years since Descartes introduced the segregation of science and  religion, science seems to come full circle; in a small but growing scientific  community science has entered the domain of spirituality! The bridge between  science and spirituality has already been crossed!
 When quantum physics in the 20th century could no longer  rule out the possibility that human consciousness has a real effect on physical reality at the subatomic  level, scientists started to discover things about our reality that seemed to  corroborate the tenets held by esoteric teachings. Esoteric teachings have been  kept alive in spiritual traditions such as the Vedic  scriptures, the  Jewish Kabbalah, and in  secret Gnostic circles such as the Freemasonry, who counted  many famous leaders and scholars in their midst.

 The things you are about to read in this book are  the discoveries made by many leading scholars in various fields of science,  among them celebrated professors of famous universities. I have come to believe  that the revolutionary scientific discoveries that were made in the last  decades of the 20th century, of which only a fraction will be  discussed in this book, will ultimately change our current scientific paradigms  and along with it our societies. Changes may not go fast, since science has become  just as dogmatic as the religious roots it departed from! However in an  ever-increasing speed of our evolution, social changes happen much faster than  three hundred years ago in the time of Descartes. The  Cartesian materialistic worldview, the blind belief that there is only a  material cause for everything in the universe is the inheritance of science and  has dominated our Western beliefs about our reality for hundreds of years. However  I believe our current worldview will eventually be replaced by a new vision  that is dawning in a small community of scientific pioneers. This new scientific  vision seems to come in a time that we desperately need new answers to the  problems we’re facing. Humanity has come to a crossroad. If we continue to  travel the road we’re on, we may not survive the end of the 21st century. We’re  facing immense ecological problems and the climate changes that have become  apparent seem already irreversible. There is upheaval in every corner of this  globe and the trend seems to be that this violence gets more and more extreme  as the years pass. World cultures have become divided, polarizations between  clashing religions tend to radicalize groups within our societies. The threat  of terrorism poses a real danger to the world’s stability. We are perfectly  able to destroy ourselves if we do not take a different course. Globally the  pressure is building to make some radical changes and head for a different  course. But is there still hope for humanity? At first sight the idea may seem preposterous given  the situation sketched above, but spiritual sources believe that Gaia, Mother  Earth is currently in the process of a transformation now she is moving from  the Age of Pisces into the Age of Aquarius ending a 75,000-year evolutional cycle. All  leading world religions have end-time prophecies and we’ve had many prophets  proclaiming them, Jesus Christ, Mohamed, Nostradamus and Edgar Cayce to name a few. The transformation the Earth is  supposed to undergo was given many names such as the ‘Second coming of Christ’,  the coming of the ‘new Jerusalem’ and ‘Ascension’.  Our current time bears many of the hallmarks of  these prophecies; could it be we are indeed in the midst of these  transformational changes right now? Many New-Age researches believe that this  is exactly the case. The transformation on Earth is supposedly to have started  somewhere in the eighties of the previous age and should culminate around 2012. When I first heard of such claims I dismissed them  out of first hand, you will probably too if this book is the first one you read  about the subject!  After reading and studying a lot of material that  supports these claims, I’ve lost a lot of my scepticism and have come to  believe that we live in a very special lifetime indeed. The topic itself  vibrates with my core being. For as long as I can remember I have felt that  things could be so much different in our world and it has finally brought me to  write this book. It’s my little contribution to a better world by sharing this  information with you in a world that needs it so badly in these troubled times.   This book is not  about ‘the end of the world’, the ‘Apocalypse’; on the contrary, it’s about the  end of the old world that you and I know today and the birth of a brighter new  one.  For the most part this book is based on sound  scientific ‘proof’ that may corroborate the claims made above, it is not based  on popular New Age metaphysical ideas. However I will introduce in the final  chapter some ‘unorthodox’ sources such as the channelled work of ‘the Law of  One’ that  may not appeal to you. I included this source since for many it may be very  convincing. I invite you to use  your intuition as well when you absorb the material discussed within this book.  Many of the things you’re about to read in this book are not easily accepted by  our materialistic brainwashed minds. In the Western civilized world we’ve come  to rely only on scientific facts (left brain male logic), whereas in the East  it is said to be true if it is personally experienced (right brain female  intuition). I invite you to use both and find out what’s true for you!  I can perfectly imagine you’re very sceptical about  the subject of this book and the things you’re about to read. Scepticism is a  sound mechanism while evaluating new concepts. However I’d like to give you  also the suggestion that scepticism may be used as a defence mechanism by the  ego to protect us from being wrong. By being a sceptic we accept the world as  it is, it is a safe haven, a status quo. If we don’t let in any new beliefs, we  cannot be affected in our core existence and can go about our business as  usual. Sceptics are often in good company since they join the masses. However  scepticism may also be a hindrance that stops us from learning. It takes  courage to allow yourself to ponder the new concepts in this book. In this  respect this book is not an easy read and it will require an open mind. The majority of the material in this book is  inspired and based on the works of David Wilcock. We’ll  come to discuss him as we progress with this book. I  think David Wilcock plays a vital role in the unfolding of a new  scientific awareness, a global shift in consciousness,  for he is much more than just another scientist, we’ll reveal that later! He  has written three important books available for download on his websitewww.divinecosmos.com. 
                  His work is getting recognition in scientific  circles. This book will also focus into the prophecies of  Edgar Cayce (1877  - 1945), the last great prophet who in  the last century so accurately predicted the ‘World changes’ that I have come  to believe are now unfolding. I hope this book will bring some hope and light in  this world that needs it so badly. Personally, I have come to believe that  there’s a shining and bright future waiting ahead of us, but it takes our  belief and faith to shape it!  I hope this book will fire a spark of wonder and  curiosity in you such that you will go out and find the truth for yourself!      |
