"Truth Shock: A Millennium Challenge"
Nonagenarian Takes Unique Approach to Cosmic Questions
| Source: Author Stuart J. Byrne
OJAI, CA--(Marketwire - December 2, 2009) - When Stuart J. Byrne reached his nineties, he
considered himself to be an "eyewitness" to the 20th century.
This longer view enabled him to perceive what he believed were warning
signs in the overall human psyche. His belief is that it seemed as if
human's soaring technology was outstripping humanity's wisdoms.
"Something deeply fundamental in our vaunted civilization seems to be
fading from human consciousness," wrote Byrne, author of "Truth Shock: A
Millennium Challenge" (www.Trafford.com/05-2321). "But nothing
constructively new appears to be emerging to take its place. It may be
shown that knowledge of the nature and purpose of Man and the Universe is
as abysmal as the proverbial pit, and that in spite of our computers and
space probes we live in one of the darkest ages of history. It is therefore
ironic that we should expend our genius attempting to reach the stars when
our greatest and least explored horizons lie closest at hand, within
ourselves."
It developed that the hiatus of knowledge he sought to fill had to do
precisely with "the nature and purpose of Man, God, and the Universe."
His theory brings it all back to "square one" by maintaining that for
humanity in this new millennium it is time for "childhood's ending."
"The hand-holding is past," he wrote. "Our swaddling clothes are off, and a
crisis has arrived where the milk of parables must be replaced by the
'meat' of Knowing."
Byrne's focus in his 90s is what he called "new Wisdom revelations," which
have occurred in the past century and half and have been added to the
overall matrix of transcendental knowledge. The "shock" involved is that
Byrne feels he has uncovered pragmatic proof that the long prophesized
"emergence" is in process. This leads to the "'meat' of Knowing" that
delivers a practical description of the metaphysical nature of Man and the
spiritual Hierarchy which guides him.
Byrne believes that for scientists, laymen, and clerics alike, the
carefully graded extension of conceptuality through his ideas has the
potential of expanding consciousness to the point where faith and belief
are exchanged for Seeing and Knowing.
