Praise for Alan Lithman’s An Evolutionary Agenda for the Third Millennium

Alan Lithman writes from a deep place of community experience, respect for tradition, and cultural criticism. He leads us into our authentic work as a species today — that of truly moving from our current unsustainable life styles to sustainable ones. Applying ancient spiritual wisdom to today's science in very practical ways, the author has the courage to call for, among other things, a "post-monetary" economy. He addresses the fears and the ideologies that feed on them that prevent our growing up. This is a radical book, a compassionate book, and an altogether needed book calling all of us to "evolutionary activism." Good News indeed for our troubled times!

An Evolutionary Agenda for the Third Millennium provides an original and visionary map to the territory of the future, a timely yet timeless guide to the ultimate journey, the adventure of consciousness. Lithman’s strong intellectual and spiritual grounding presents an "outside the box" view of the core of what’s possible in turbulent times, indeed, the transformation of humanity on the planet. Venturing beyond the conventional, Lithman engages the evolutionary process in ways that speak to the extraordinary capacities for creative change we possess as human beings, allowing us to recognize the integral part we play in the universal scheme of things as custodians of what he calls Evolutionary Power. Remarkable for its vision and scope, this book breaks new and important ground.

Here is a passionate, bold, thought-provoking new vision for the future—a pioneering book that bridges the chasm between spiritual and material, inner and outer, seeker and activist, scientist and mystic, in what the author calls "an applied evolutionary research". Raising critical evolutionary questions while at the same time proposing evolutionary approaches to resolve them, Lithman takes us beyond ordinary historical timeframes, categories, and planning processes, retraining our perspective to the larger, more integral scope of an Evolutionary Agenda. Filled with great feeling, insight, and metaphysical wit, this daring thought experiment helps us make sense of who we are and what we can become.

As an evolutionary explorer, I encounter every now and then another kindred person on the same path who possesses a brilliance and deep understanding of our evolutionary potential. Alan Sasha Lithman is such a person. I highly recommend his Evolutionary Agenda to all those who feel the emergent potential of humanity arising in their hearts, and who long to be more effective in their actions in the world.
