First, I have to comment on Nicolya Christi's awesome writing skills. Her words flow, almost lyrically, but are never sappy or sweet. She delves into some rather complex and profound subject matter but is never dry or pedantic. Her words are fresh, compelling and a joy to experience. I rarely comment on style, but this really warranted a few words.
So the book is about humanity's conscious evolution - both individually and collectively. It makes a compelling case about where we have been, where we are and how we got here, and where we are going and to what end. It addresses spiritual issues, and how our mind and body work and connect to our spirit, as well as to others around us. Mostly, the book seeks to help us transcend our physical experience and discover who we really are and who we are meant to be, and then to inspire us to live fully into our true being as love from love.
The author starts out by telling us about some very profound personal experiences she has had throughout her life, which not only sheds some light on things we probably have only heard about, but also confirms that she is extraordinarily qualified to be teaching us and leading us. A short personal note. One of the stories she shares is about her and her mother as her mother passed on. It is a deeply moving story. My father passed away last April, and I now live with my mother and care for her as her cognitive skills and her memory gradually dissolve. Nicolya's story has blessed me with a genuine sense of peace and hope as I watch my mother fade. Honestly, if I was an author, I don’t know that I'd have the courage to share things so deeply personal, but I am grateful that she did.
Next we move into fundamental studies of consciousness and of spirituality. Nicolya is excellent at creating functional definitions - sometimes for the same word - which helps us understand the intricate levels of development humanity experiences. While the subject matter is complex, she breaks it down into chunks which are easily remembered and comfortably pondered over as you progress.
The book follows a clear and logical progression as we are guided to discover answers to existential questions, and taught how we can influence who we are and where we are going. We can heal old and sometimes ancient wounds that have held us back as individuals, and we can collectively move ourselves forward to become so much more enlightened and more like the love we truly are and were meant to be.
Ultimately, we can guide ourselves individually and collectively and create our future. The good news is that humanity is on the verge of entering into a Golden Age of existence which will be more wondrous than most of us can imagine. The bad news is that we could still totally blow it and wipe ourselves out. But the good news is that many are starting to awaken and drive us towards our best future.
So read this book. You will be much more informed about what's really going on. You might be personally touched like I was. You should realize that it's not that you could be involved in all of this but that you are involved in all of this. And hopefully you will answer the call to be a part of bringing humanity into a new Golden Age of LOVE.
