About the Book
Eve of the Apocalypse is about understanding yourself in the 21st century. It approaches this topic by looking into the thinking that Western culture is based upon. The book covers many bold and complex topics, but is fascinating and easy to read.
Across the
world, Western practises are replacing traditional cultures and
economies. The great diversity of human understanding and history is
being channelled into a single, and very narrow mindset called Western
thinking. This cultural takeover is being led by Western culture
through the modern trend known as globalisation.
The present global economy has used western science and industrial
know-how to strip Earth’s resources much faster than they
can be replenished. The Western money system has left developing
countries hopelessly trapped in poverty while it is steadily edging all
first world economies towards bankruptcy.
As a result of this economic activity the Earth’s atmosphere is warming and its oceans are turning acidic. At the dawn of the 21st century tracts of Amazon jungle are being replaced with salt-bush, half the world’s coral reefs are dead, global freshwater supply is in crisis and species are being killed off at rates comparable to the dinosaur extinction. Yet strangely, Western culture does not change its damaging practises but seeks new and riskier ways to increase its destructive harvests from nature.
And why are the citizens of such a successful culture among the most miserable and frightened peoples that have ever lived? It’s because Western civilisation has a built-in defect that renders it blind to a whole section of reality. The defect was there when Western civilisation began, and it is still here today. The resultant blindness renders Western civilisation incapable of changing its present self-destructive behaviour or repairing the damage it has caused.
On a personal level, the defect in the Western worldview leaves people with a slanted and incomplete view of themselves. As Westerners, it can be difficult to understand our own lives. Western culture affects people like a hypnotic fog. The harder we try to find the way out of our lostness the more lost we usually become. Western civilisation was specifically designed to render its citizens frightened and confused so they could be easily manipulated by their democratic governments. Globalisation is little more than the end game of Western civilisation’s original design.
Eve of the Apocalypse takes a tour through Western culture, explaining the view along the way and pointing out the dangerous illusions step by step. By understanding the problem in Western thinking, the antidote becomes self-apparent.
Then the
book takes a tour through the real world - outside of Western culture’s
confining viewpoint. Reality is not as scary or meaningless as we are
sometimes trained to believe. Each of us has a life locked away inside
that simply needs to be let out of its cage. We do not have to save the
world. We only have to find ourselves in the real world. After that,
nothing else is really much of a problem.
The book Eve of the Apocalypse answers the questions that
you never dared to ask, and which you didn't think had answers.
