Rarely does an author manage to present such a lucid panorama of how human thoughts and deeds exist within a cosmological framework. Vast and complex systems, mechanisms, and cycles characterize the long ascent of evolution. Periodically, evolutionary events converge, catalyzing leaps of transformation, key moments when flux and chaos signal an imminent reordering. Dennis penetrates the deep forces shaping our natural and social realities, noting that phenomena such as large cracks in Earth%E2%80%99s electromagnetic field; increasing solar radiation; DNA hypercommunication (data exchange on the DNA level using genetic code); and quantum coherence in biological organization portend an evolutionary %E2%80%9Cupgrade%E2%80%9D already underway. Conscious evolution is the deliberate participation of human beings within these larger evolutionary processes. With a steady focus on the positive potential for a new global society, Dennis maintains that participating in this transition relies on one foundational insight: the ultimate interconnection and interdependence of everything in a living field with a creative collective consciousness. %E2%80%9CThis is neither a conspiracy nor a fairy tale,%E2%80%9D Dennis writes; %E2%80%9Cit is a narrative of resilience, re-adaptation, and renewal.%E2%80%9D (Sept.)\t
