Waking up in Time

Originally published in 1992 as A White Hole in Time and updated in 1998, this new edition contains a foreword by Ervin Laszlo and a new introduction by the author, but the text is substantially the same apart from the addition of some evocative black-and-white photos as chapter headings. Pete's thesis about the accelerating pace of life has been borne out, as has his fundamental diagnosis that we are living through a crisis of consciousness, thinking and values, which underlies the various challenges we face. Put succinctly, it is our current mode of consciousness that is unsustainable -- we have a crisis of perception, which demands a spiritual renaissance, a plumbing of the depths of human consciousness as well as overcoming inertia and resistance to change. The book remains a brilliant analysis and roadmap towards awakening and bringing in a different kind of world.
