The Way of Unity ~
A Global Vision with Local Strategies for Planetary Flourishing
“The vision projected by this book could be the spark that ignites the ever-present, even if widely neglected, flame of peace in the heart of humanity.”
~ Ervin Laszlo, leading systems theorist, Nobel Peace Prize nominee
“The Way of Unity is a brave, rich, profound book written with elegance… it will help establish a world of peace, harmony and justice.”
~ Andrew Harvey, mystic, sacred activist, and co-author of Radical Regeneration
“Bob Atkinson’s The Way of Unity: Essential Principles and Precondition for Peace is an important book, providing actions and strategies toward achieving a more peaceful and equitable partnership future, as well as important evidence showing there are strong secular and religious movements toward unity.”
~ Riane Eisler, author of The Chalice and the Blade, and Nurturing Our Humanity
Imagine a world where every person feels seen, valued, and connected, a world not driven by fear and division, but by compassion, cooperation, and unity…
This vision is not just a dream; it’s a path we can choose. The Way of Unity is an invitation to discover something greater than ourselves—a growing, expanding, organic renewal process aligned with evolutionary forces.
From an “as above, so below” perspective, looking through the lens of wholeness, this book presents a case for unity and peace being the natural state of Creation. In tying the “above” and the “below” together, this book shows how achieving the goal of peace on Earth is already being built upon a strategy that can make sense to all people, young and old, rich and poor, regardless of their current life situation. All human beings find their highest wish realized in the universal spiritual principle of the Golden Rule writ large. The book offers, as a “model for study,” a worldwide community that for over a century has been building the elements of a more just and peaceful society by nurturing the patterns of coherence within us through systematic social action initiatives that work for everyone. Humanity is its own mycelium network, weaving its inherent wholeness, expanding its circles of unity. This is our hope for the future.
Beneath the Illusion of Separation,
Humanity Is One Family
Joining hands across differences is the sacred activism of our time.

“…to celebrate and honor books that supportconscious living and green values, high-level wellness, positive social change, and spiritual growth… books that inspire and connect our lives as individuals, communities, and global citizens…”
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.
