Summary

Why are we here? Human beings have asked themselves this question for centuries. Modern science largely argues that human beings are chance products of a purposeless universe, but other traditions believe humanity has an essential role and responsibility in creation.

Lachman brings together many strands of esoteric, spiritual and philosophical thought to form a counter-argument to the nihilism that permeates the twenty-first century. Offering a radical alternative to postmodern apathy, he argues that we humans are the caretakers of the universe, entrusted with a daunting task: That of healing and repairing creation itself.

This is an important book from a key thinker of our time, addressing some of the most urgent questions facing humanity.

Stimulating ideas

We need people like Gary Lachman to remind us of how we are not mere passive observers of a world "out there", but add meaning and significance to it. Some references to writers of fiction are a little difficult to understand if you haven't read their books, but it is worth persisting.

Thought provoking and enjoyable

I'm becoming a fan of Gary's books, this one in particular; in so much as he makes a concise effort to bring together so many philosophical, cosmological and metaphysical ideas from many great thinkers. There is much to contemplate within this book.
