Good news! Human consciousness is unfolding toward its essential unity… This lucid book both celebrates that evolutionary trajectory and guides our full and empowered participation.
… A must-read by the widest of global audiences…
This beautiful book helps us find a whole new category of understanding evolution… a remarkable work that I recommend wholeheartedly.
Atkinson’s The Story of Our Time aptly summarizes today’s story of emergent conscious unity across our species. Organizing the scientific, spiritual, and myriad other elements of this story into seven binding principles only further enhances the value of this book.
With clarity and insight, Atkinson describes this pivotal moment in our collective evolution. Here are the guidelines for the shift in consciousness humanity needs to make if we are to survive and transform… Here is real hope grounded in the deep understanding of life’s essential unity and our innate capacity for love.
In The Story of Our Time, Robert Atkinson bravely, audaciously, and compellingly identifies factors that can move the consciousness of humanity toward the unity that underlies the divisions of ordinary perception… This is an important contribution to the evolutionary dialogue…
Robert Atkinson’s The Story of Our Time is thoughtful, balanced, and gracious contribution from the Baha’i perspective, introducing a stream of unitive evolutionary wisdom that has been ahead of the curve for a long time and deserves to be more widely known.
Although our situation is urgent and time is not on our side, doom and gloom are inappropriate. Rather, hope and love and optimism can see us through, as Robert Atkinson shows in his magnificent The Story Of Our Time. Consider Atkinson’s book as a survival manual, and spread it as widely as possible.
In this exquisite exploration of the spiritual craft of soul-making, Robert Atkinson illumines the journey as well as the art and discipline that leads to spiritual transformation… To read this magnificent study is to remember our original birthright and to commit again to following the path that leads us home to who and what we really are.
I get sent 2-6 books a day for one reason or another, but I can tell yours is good and special, and we are on the same wave length.
… A powerful call for creating… a new story reflecting the interdependence of all reality. I urge you to heed it.
