Become Conscious of Wholeness: Humanity's Only Future
Ebook
How can we transcend our tribal, philosophical, and religious differences? Is it possible to develop a global consciousness to resolve the peril to our biosphere and other human-made existential crises? Become Conscious of Wholeness: Humanity's Only Future explores how connecting human consciousness with Universal Consciousness will give individuals and societies a sense of being complete, not fragmented. Accessing Universal Consciousness, the fundamental wisdom, intelligence, and love in the Universe, will align their identity and purpose and free them from limiting beliefs and fears. Universal Consciousness is the organizing, unifying force, beyond space and time, filled with the creative potential from which our diverse philosophies, religions, and primordial traditions emerged. When Consciousness is understood from multiple scientific, spiritual, psychological, and mystical perspectives, what is of ultimate value becomes clear--our relationships with each other and the Earth, our essential Wholeness. The reader will explore various portals to Universal Consciousness, drawing upon their own mystical and spiritual experience to develop a more holistic Self. Specific action steps are also presented to reframe religion, reimagine education and mental wellbeing, and reform the business organizations, government agencies, and divisive politics that perpetuate a fragmented view of reality.
“This book is both timely and helpful . . . .
Olson offers a deeply personal, albeit well-researched, perspective
integrating consciousness and spirituality in the concept of
existence’s ongoing developmental manifestation of a deeper
underlying wholeness. He offers a compelling argument that such a
holistic shift in human perspective will . . . help
ensure our survival and ongoing evolution in consciousness as a
species. This commendable effort is to be welcomed with
gratitude.”
—Claudius van Wyk, Co-convenor, the Holos Earth Project
“We simply must find a way forward beyond outdated and
provincial religious constructs . . . . Yet, the
human spirit still cries out for a way to connect with something
greater than the self! Olson’s inspired portrayal of consciousness
provides a cutting-edge approach to spiritual meaning and
fulfillment in our increasingly post-religious world. Further, the
groundbreaking applications he describes have the power to spur a
very much needed societal transformation.”
—Margaret Placentra Johnston, author of Faith Beyond Belief:
Stories of Good People Who Left Their Church Behind
“What I loved most about this book is how accessible it is. There
is a simplicity and an honesty and a true humanity coming through
the author that makes reading it a warm and wholesome, very
pleasant, and heart-opening experience. . . . The author
manifests in his writings not just the concepts but the inner
feeling tone of exactly what the wholeness is that he is talking
about.”
—Shoshana Cooper, Meditation Teacher
“I am ever thankful for Become Conscious of Wholeness and
see it as an invaluable resource for our world today!
. . . The wholeness that Ed speaks about brings us face
to face with our true self beyond senses, mind, and intellect. Ed’s
book breaks down these complex concepts of science and spirituality
with candor and grace and propels them into mainstream
reality.”
—Joanne Wohlmuth, Yoga Teacher/Yoga Therapist
“Become Conscious of Wholeness deserves your full attention.
Well-researched and clearly thought-out, it argues that the
experience and personal integration of universal consciousness is
the only real solution to humanity’s rapidly accelerating
existential climate crisis. . . . Imbibe deeply from this
book. Let it change you and the world.”
—John Robinson, author of Aging with Vision, Hope and Courage in
a Time of Crisis
“Olson has summarized well that the only future open for humans is
to find a common basis in consciousness or conscious spirit of
which we are all a part . . . . I hope the book
reaches many people. We humans are undergoing a tremendous
transition, and people need to be reminded of who they really are
and their connection to the Source. Only this way can we all do
what we have come here to do!”
—Tina Lindhard, Chair of Consciousness Research, CICA
International
“Edwin Olson is a voice of clarity and authenticity in this current
chaotic moment in human history. His book is an invitation to
reimagine how humanity might experience itself in loving connection
with its Source. . . . Olson’s gentle scholarship weaves
quantum science, theology, mysticism, and depth psychology into a
new story, one in which the divine and humanity’s place in the
cosmos are exquisitely reconsidered. . . . This is a book
for our time.”
—Mary Harrell, author of The Mythmaker
