Drawing on esoteric, spritual and philosophical thought, this book considers the all-important question -- why are we here? -- and offers a counter-argument to the current nihilsm prevalent in our world.
Why are we here? Human beings have asked themselves this question for centuries. Modern science largely argues that human beings are chance products of a purposeless universe, but other traditions believe humanity has an essential role and responsibility in creation.
Lachman brings together many strands of esoteric, spiritual and philosophical thought to form a counter-argument to the nihilism that permeates the twenty-first century. Offering a radical alternative to postmodern apathy, he argues that we humans are the caretakers of the universe, entrusted with a daunting task: that of healing and repairing creation itself.
This is an important book from a key thinker of our time, addressing some of the most urgent questions facing humanity.
