Each essay in this new collection represents movement through a musical octave - a cycle of transmutation. And within this transmutation sits humanity. This essay cycle offers questioning, observations, commentary, analysis, speculations, and thought experiments regarding the current state of modern society, the human condition, possible future timelines, and potential cosmic scenarios. What can be said with some degree of certainty is that these essays are for the present times. Humanity appears to be positioned within an arc of transmutation, with several potential permutations. However, the future may already have been actualized - upon some level - only that it has yet to manifest within the physical domain. And it is this manifestation or expression - this unfolding - that concerns us here. Humanity may already be poised upon the precipice or threshold, with only a little further to go.

The Sacred Revival describes the search to fulfill one of humanity's greatest needs―a connection with the transcendent. Now a new phase of development is emerging, a revival of an evolutionary, participatory-style consciousness. The Sacred Revival examines some of the sacred manifestations of this unfolding epoch within social memes, popular culture, and revised projections of myth and magic. As we step further toward a decentralized and networked civilization where tangible technologies morph into intangible connections, author Kingsley Dennis discusses how each individual can act as a conscious agent in order to manifest their own sense of a sacred self, and how to influence and be a part of the grander sacred order. The Sacred Revival is an inspiring, thought-provoking, and forward-thinking examination of social, cultural, and personal development that is part of the newly unfolding era.The Sacred Revival describes how the modern mind is reenchanting the world as it recognizes the major potential for growth and exploration in humanity.

The Book of Letters is the last completed work from James Cowan. It was written during his final months, and he intended it to be his ultimate testimony. This is what James had to say about it: 'It is a pure work, and goes to the heart of our time. We have distanced ourselves from the purity of language, hence the grave time in which we live. The Book of Letters is a cris de coeur for a return to the sanctity of words. Enjoy its reverberance, its tacit delight in making you laugh and wince. Reflections are my final attempt at genuine metaphysics of language. I think ibn Masarra would be content.'
