INTRODUCTION


This is my story and every last word of it is true. But it's your story too, sweet earthlings.

Because like it or not, ready or not, after five thousand years of hiking along history's straight line we're about to re-enter the world of myth. The shaman's realm of shapeshifting and trance. A waking dream where before and after, up and down, inside and out no longer limit us. Where travel from one end of the universe to the other takes only an instant.

Time and space can be wide-open for us, they can be our allies. But the realm we're entering also teems with entities looking to redefine what human means. It's filled with demons.

In fact, a great battle is being joined between the forces of dark and light. Whether or not we're aware of it, whether or not we're awake, someone out there wants to control what we see and hear and think. And who could that someone be? Who's taking our measure?

Listen to his voice, sweet earthlings. He's the man with the frozen heart. You've heard him before, declaiming from the bully pulpit in places of power. Singing his siren song of fear and separation. But listen to him when he's at home. With his guard down. With his boots off and his feet up. Who's he speaking for now? Who does he represent? Who is his real constituency?

"It's true that corporate capitalism is another form of fundamentalism, I won't argue with that. But we have a big problem on our hands right now, not sometime in the future. There's way too many humans on the surface of the globe. The term 'overpopulation' doesn't begin to describe the situation. The people experiment is suffering from its own success. It's spiraling out of control. Something's gotta give. Can you deny that a great cleansing must take place? These are the end times, baby boy. What else do you think is going on? Armageddon, the Triumph of the Beast, 666. As foretold in the Holy Bible!"
