Vi befinner oss i ett epokskifte – i vårt medvetande och i världen omkring oss. Den framtida människan är en resa in i denna omvälvande tid. Här öppnar den internationellt uppskattade intuitive läraren Lee Harris, tillsammans med journalisten Regina Meredith, dörren till en ny förståelse för vilka vi är och vad vi – och världen – är på väg att bli.
Genom en serie djupa och stundtals överraskande dialoger med de så kallade Z-guiderna utforskas frågor som spänner över hela den mänskliga erfarenheten: från hur vi läker våra känslor, kroppar och relationer till hur medvetandet expanderar globalt, hur samhällen förändras och vilken roll vi spelar i ett större – till och med galaktiskt – sammanhang.
Den framtida människan vill vidga vår bild av livet – från den innersta självförståelsen till vår plats i ett större, kosmiskt växande medvetande. Boken är visionär, existentiell och samtidigt djupt mänsklig, och kombinerar:
- filosofi
-kanaliserad visdom
- samhällsobservation
- energipsykologi
- framtidsvisioner
Vi lever i en tid som ofta känns splittrad, snabb och kaotisk, och många upplever oro inför framtiden. Genom sina samtal visar Lee Harris att det som ser ut som förfall också bär början på något nytt. Medvetandet öppnas nu i snabb takt över hela jorden – och mitt i denna rörelse finns vi som individer, med vår längtan, vår förmåga och vårt ljus.
Lee Harris arbete har berört hundratusentals människor världen över, och hans perspektiv är både jordnära och hoppfulla. I Den framtida människan rör sig dialogen mellan hopp och allvar, klarhet och mysterium – en vägledning för den som vill förstå den tid vi lever i och möta framtiden med klarhet, mod och ett öppet hjärta.

“Detective Jane Bauer is a most welcome addition to the ranks of fictional cops.”–Peter RobinsonWhen NYPD detective Jane Bauer and her team check in for their new assignment, they reopen a cold case that’s a real killer. Ten years earlier, police responding to a spate of late-night 911 calls from Greenwich Village discovered a young African American undercover cop, Micah Anthony, shot dead on Waverly Place. The killer left no clues, and the murder remains an inscrutable mystery . . . except for two things: Anthony had infiltrated a lucrative gun-trading operation in the city, and it seemed likely that he knew and trusted the killer.So begins an investigation that leads Jane from Village brownstones to middle-class Queens, from wealthy Sutton Place to sinister subway tunnels, as a mastermind of murder resumes operations–and every path is mined with menace.“Harris knows a lot about cops and a lot about women and she knows how to plot a good mystery.”–Stephen GreenleafFrom the Paperback edition.

But while she’s happy to be back on the job, her new assignment–another cold case–seems to hold little promise of being solved.Eight years ago, Anderson Stratton, a schizophrenic, was found dead of starvation in his apartment. Nothing on the scene indicated foul play, and although he left no note, the death was ultimately ruled a suicide. Stratton’s well-connected sister, Flavia Constantine, never accepted that conclusion, and has insisted that the case be reopened. But in their investigation, Jane and her team stumble upon another grisly suicide–and realize that the two may very well be connected. As her inquiry intensifies, Jane is led to a shocking and horrible truth–and once again finds herself on the threshold of death.From the Paperback edition.

Forgetfulness occurs when those who have been long inured to civilized order can no longer remember a time in which they had to wonder whether their crops would grow to maturity without being stolen or their children sold into slavery by a victorious foe....They forget that in time of danger, in the face of the enemy, they must trust and confide in each other, or perish....They forget, in short, that there has ever been a category of human experience called the enemy. "That, before 9/11, was what had happened to us. The very concept of the enemy had been banished from our moral and political vocabulary. An enemy was just a friend we hadn''t done enough for yet. Or perhaps there had been a misunderstanding, or an oversight on our part -- something that we could correct.... "Our first task is therefore to try to grasp what the concept of the enemy really means. The enemy is someone who is willing to die in order to kill you. And while it is true that the enemy always hates us for a reason, it is his reason, and not ours." So begins Civilization and Its Enemies, an extraordinary tour de force by America''s "reigning philosopher of 9/11," Lee Harris. What Francis Fukuyama did for the end of the Cold War, Lee Harris has now done for the next great conflict: the war between the civilized world and the international terrorists who wish to destroy it. Each major turning point in our history has produced one great thinker who has been able to step back from petty disagreements and see the bigger picture -- and Lee Harris has emerged as that man for our time. He is the one who has helped make sense of the terrorists'' fantasies and who forces us most strongly to confront the fact that our enemy -- for the first time in centuries -- refuses to play by any of our rules, or to think in any of our categories. We are all naturally reluctant to face a true enemy. Most of us cannot give up the myth that tolerance is the greatest of virtues and that we can somehow convert the enemy to our beliefs. Yet, as Harris''s brilliant tour through the stages of civilization demonstrates, from Sparta to the French Revolution to the present, civilization depends upon brute force, properly wielded by a sovereign. Today, only America can play the role of sovereign on the world stage, by the use of force when necessary. Lee Harris''s articles have been hailed by thinkers from across the spectrum. His message is an enduring one that will change the way readers think -- about the war with Iraq, about terrorism, and about our future.
