Since the dawn of consciousness, humanity has crafted false belief systems about God: mythological and anthropomorphic images of "The Light." Today, many reject the ancient religions and demand a new theosophy, one that is consistent with 21st Century minds and hearts. The Light delivers a contemporary examination of the social, scientific, and spiritual forces that are shifting the Godhead toward an integrated belief system founded on a genderful/genderless concept of deity.
The Spectrum of Consciousness maps the vast variety of morals and motivations expressed by humans (from barbarians to buddhas). New Humans have reached self-actualization and are in service to humanity. They actively engage at this critical juncture in history, which greatly resembles the End Times prophecies of the ancient religions. New Humans also are conscious players in the "God Game" and surmount the polarizing "God Gap" by accessing Divine Masculine AND Divine Feminine energies.
In the "Gandhi vs. Hitler" chapter, The Light pierces New Age myths by tackling the difficult topic of good versus evil. The book also explores the seeming perpetual polarity, decline of democracy, raging culture war, and loss of women's rights - all of which now threaten to tear America apart. The author's "Default Mode of the Universe" theory and her optimism regarding the "Secret Destiny of America" provide hope for a positive future and our collective entry into the Fifth Spiritual Paradigm.
New Humans are urged to become Light Masters of sound mystical traditions. The Hermetic Laws of the Universe and Gnostic Kabbalah provide sacred backdrops for analyzing gender equity, managing polarity, and seeking enlightenment. In addition to metaphysics, a chapter on quantum physics provides insight into the evolutionary impulse, holism, and the latest science on consciousness (panpsychism). The book also explores the current Transhuman era and ends by asking: Will New Humans be more conscious Homo sapiens, or augmented/hybrid humans living in a matrix or metaverse in a Posthuman world.
Rev. Laura M. George, J.D. (Tau Lama) is an interfaith minister, attorney, and perpetual seeker. Raised Catholic, she began questioning her birth religion at an early age. As an adult. she embarked on a study of the world's religions and was mentored by Zoroastrian, Gnostic, Melchizedek, and Lakota teachers. By 2000, she was finding answers to the spiritual questions that had haunted her since childhood. Yet it was the tragedy on September 11, 2001, that changed the course of her life. Thereafter, Tau Lama retired as a lawyer and founded The Oracle Institute, an educational charity and spiritual think-tank that studies the nexus between religion, politics, human rights, and conscious evolution. She also founded Oracle Institute Press and Oracle Temple, an esoteric church. She is the author of the award-winning first book in the Oracle trilogy, The Truth: About the Five Primary Religions (2006). She co-authored the second book, The Love: Of the Fifth Spiritual Paradigm (2010), with luminaries such as Archbishop Desmond Tutu, Maya Angelou, Bill McKibben, and Alex Grey. It took her a decade to complete the final installment of the trilogy, The Light: And the New Human (2022). For her groundbreaking work in the field of conscious co-creation, Tau Lama has been inducted into the circle of Evolutionary Leaders. Today, she lives in the Valley of Light intentional community and works at the Peace Pentagon - the heart of Oracle Campus - along the ancient New River in Independence, Virginia.
