IF YOU WANT TO SAVE THE WORLD START HERE! Despite rumors to the contrary, the New Age movement is alive and well and still our best hope for creating a more enlightened society. True, the term New Age has fallen from fashion. That s one reason why those of us who are spiritual but not religious 24 percent of Americans according to a recent Newsweek poll have been stuck in an identity crisis over what to call ourselves. Are we part of a Holistic Movement, an Aquarian Conspiracy, a Cultural Creative Renaissance, what? We don t know, and mostly likely, we haven't been too concerned about it; we find labels much too limiting. But our disdain for naming ourselves has been purchased at enormous cost. Most of us walk alone and often lonely on our individual paths, unable to share our efforts. We walk alone, our numbers uncounted, our opinions unconsidered, and our voices unheard by the society we hope to transform. Today, with global warming and terrorism dire threats to our future survival, transforming society is no longer a pleasant option, but urgent necessity. It s time for the New Age to get is mojo back. It s time for us to tap into the power of a collective identity. Unfinished Evolution is a roll call for all spiritual idealists all 50 million of us cultural creatives, liberal Christians and Jews, bohemians, treehuggers, peaceniks, yoga enthusiasts, holistic healers, pagans, armchair Buddhists and other alternative sorts. It is time to come out of hiding, time to declare the courage of your convictions, time to stand up and be counted as an agent of change. ''In case you thought the dream of a 'new age' of consciousness was dead, think -- and read -- again. This book, wise, intimate, and deeply informative, is a clarion call about the greatest of conversations: about the future of humanity.'' -Michael Grosso, Ph.D., author of The Millennium Myth and Experiencing the Next World Now ''Booth dares to pick up the tattered and torn banner of the New Age and restore it to the meaning it once had... [Her book] made me feel like an old New Age workhorse ready to wear the saddle again. I was inspired. '' -From the foreword by David Spangler, author of Reimagination of the World, and Blessing: The Art and the Practice
