INTRODUCTION Embracing an Essential Vision Stephen Gray The potent adjective extraordinary barely rises to the task of describing the unprecedented and almost overwhelming challenges facing humanity at this time. Visionaries―including contributors to this book―have sensed that hundreds of thousands of years of collective and individual history, struggle, and karma are coalescing right now. Cynics may dismiss this recognition as magical thinking―a “my-generation” delusion. Others may downplay the urgency of the moment. Still others turn away in denial and cling to chimeras and false, even dangerous, promises and premises. But the signs are clear for those willing to look and to listen. Mystics, explorers of deep psychonautic realms, intuitives, the long-held prophecies of multiple Indigenous/traditional tribes and societies around the planet, and the clearly evident and observable developments of increasingly rapid climate change, madcap materialism, and gross economic and social inequality and imbalance all point to an inescapable truth: the longstanding dominant mindset of spiritual disconnect that has cast its shadow over the human enterprise has run its course and is no longer viable or sustainable. The flatland days of continuing as we have been are all but over. Until very recently we’ve had wiggle room. This endlessly generous planet has been giving us everything that keeps us alive second by second, year after year, and generation upon generation. She has allowed the great majority of us to grievously misunderstand our true nature as interwoven, interdependent participants in a vast, living, creatively evolving web of energy and intelligence. She has allowed our species to plunder her bounty, taking far more than we give back, not grasping the core truth that, in the words of legendary Chief Seattle (1790–1866), “Whatever we do to the web, we do to ourselves. All things are bound together. All things connect.”1 But now the jig is up. The naked apes have overrun the planet. The ominous facts of our predicament speak for themselves. |
