The Death of Religion and the Rebirth of Spirit

“Once again, Joseph Chilton Pearce’s genius and deep, essential humanity illuminate the most meaningful and important issue of our day–our relationship with Spirit and the all-too-often-toxic history and motivations of organized religion.” * Thom Hartmann, author of The Last Hours of Ancient Sunlight *
“Joseph Chilton Pearce astounds with his ability to so clearly see and courageously state the most basic reason for chaos in the world–the closing down of inspirational love that can only come through heart-awareness. His piercing depiction of this dire state as due to the destructiveness of culture and religion is followed with an even more penetrating set of solutions, founded on insights into biological development, nurturing, and opening the heart to the future possibilities of love unconfined. The message has not been so clear since William Blake spoke of ‘Jesus, the Imagination.’” * Robert Sardello, author of Love and the World and Silence *
“In this remarkable book Joseph Chilton Pearce goes to the very memetic ‘DNA’ of our culture and recodes it to affirm life’s potential. He masterfully helps us to release the destructive aspects of religion and modern society, while affirming the magnificent reality of the spirit and the heartful intelligence that can guide us forward.” * Barbara Marx Hubbard, president of the Foundation for Conscious Evolution *
“This book convincingly indicts cultural imprinting as the cause of humankind’s cruel and violent behavior. Pearce’s call to hope is much needed in a world turning ever more violent.” * SirReadaLot.org, March 14, 2007 *
”… [Pearce] shows what steps we can take to align ourselves with what is intended for the full development of the human being.” * Richard D. Wright, New Age Retailer, April 2007 *
“Reading [this book], allegorically, feels like lifting a boulder from one’s very soul. This is one of the most relevant books of our time… . a stunning achievement. Do your Mind a favor & read this book!” * Parallel Perspectives, April 2007 *
“Rarely has there been a book that opened my mind and heart so deeply as this courageous and astonishing book.” * Robert Simmons, The Metaphysical Buyers Guide, 2007 *
” … a serious search for the soul of humanity by one of our most seminal thinkers.” * The Beacon, Jan/Mar 2008 *
“It’s a pick recommended for any spirituality collection that delves deeply into the need of change and lack of violence, particularly at the college level.” * The Pagan Review, Feb 2008 *
” … Pearce is surely right that we must ourselves harness the creative energies and apparently limitless potential of universal mind and not put off nurturing ourselves and our brethren until tomorrow lest we kill our spirit with religious fantasies of saviours who save those who don’t help themselves.” * The Scientific and Medical Network, Spring 2008 *
