From the Publisher
An Evolutionary Agenda for the Third Millennium is prophetic vision of the final unfolding of human evolution as we quickly approach what author Alan Lithman sees as the end of the Egoic Era. This era began at the very inception of the universe, when the universe itself recoiled from the sheer magnitude of the force of the Big Bang. According to Lithman, the aftershock of this traumatic cosmic birthing is the same egoic force within human beings that always instinctively resists any for of change.
Lithman believes the human beings today represent a new species, Homo Tansitionalis, a transitional species whose main function is to transcend ego and egoic tendencies in order to make it through these turbulent times so that the human race can survive and mutate into its final egoless form. If we are successful, if we curb the tide of destruction that is threatening to cascade down around us, we will be the first branch of the infinite evolutionary tree to have consciously willed its own mutation.
Lithman’s call to arms is fueled by his own profound awakening to, and passion for, the reality of evolution. He prescribes an agenda of "evolutionary activism" to facilitate transformation at the personal and collective level, even including a radical shift to our economic structure and stock markets, that will usher in postmonetary social system.

A Must Read for Infinite Players,
By
This review is from: An Evolutionary Agenda for the Third Millennium: A Primer for the Mutation of Consciousness (Paperback)
Every couple of years over the past two decades, I've been given, or discover, or have been discovered by, a book that grabs me by the scruff of my neck and forces me to face up to yet another vital new view of ourselves and our role in the grand evolutionary process.This has been the sequence of these literary epiphanies: Fritjof Capra's "Tao of Physics" Buckminster Fuller's "Critical Path" Arthur Young's "Reflexive Universe" Paramahansa Yogananda's "Autobiography of a Yogi" Ken Carey's "The Third Millennium" Barbara Marx Hubbard's "Conscious Evolution" Duane Elgin's "Awakening Earth" Richard Moss' "The Second Miracle" Brian Swimme and Thomas Berry's "The Universe Story" Ken Wilber's "Sex, Ecology Spirituality" Janine Benyus' "Biomimicry" Alan Sasha Lithman's An Evolutionary Agenda is the latest book to capture my sentence-by-sentence underlining, highlighting, annotating, early-morning-contemplative attention. James Carse, in "Finite and Infinite Games," provides a distinction that's quite appropriate for Lithman's work: "Finite players play within boundaries, infinite players play with boundaries." Lithman is clearly an infinite player. He's written a book for fellow infinite players, and especially for designers of infinite games-those he calls "evolutionary activists. What Lithman brings to above lineup of luminous literature is a wonderfully sophisticated bridging between the cosmic aspects of this evolutionary moment of truth, and the very real systemic developmental challenges we face as a species. I particularly appreciated his challenging those spiritual traditions whose teachings imply that individual enlightenment is our ultimate goal as humans. I also was grateful for his descriptions of how many of our "evolutionary thinkers" do us a disservice by skipping over the very real transitional challenges we are only beginning to appreciate as a species. Lithman has been influenced by Sri Aurobindo, Michael Murphy and, no doubt, a bevy of cosmic guides and muses. At times, his style reminds me of the poetic prose of Ken Carey's "The Third Millennium." If you are a committed steward for the future, an infinite player, a pathfinder, an evolutionary activist, then "An Evolutionary Agenda" is must reading for you. Enjoy!

A visionary yet grounded approach to "evolutionary activism",
This review is from: An Evolutionary Agenda for the Third Millennium: A Primer for the Mutation of Consciousness (Paperback)
I was deeply touched by this book, both for its scope and vision as well as its practical approach to conscious evolution. I was drawn to this work by Barbara Marx Hubbard who says in the intro note to the book:"As an evolutionary explorer, I encounter every now and then another kindred person on the same path who possesses a brilliance and deep understanding of our evolutionary potential. Alan Sasha Lithman is such a person. I highly recommend his Evolutionary Agenda to all those who feel the emergent potential of humanity arising in their hearts, and who long to be more effective in their actions in the world." -Barbara Marx Hubbard, President, Foundation for Conscious Evolution; author of Emergence and Conscious Evolution. There was so much to take in that I found not only insightful but original and ground-breaking. It has given me a whole new way of looking at the meaning behind our evolutionary crises as well as positive steps to more consciously address them, opening the door to our future possibilities as an ongoing species. I know I will reread this work many times in the coming millennium. May we all move forward as a more conscious species, hospicing the old world as we midwife the new. Sunny Victorio

This review is from: An Evolutionary Agenda for the Third Millennium: A Primer for the Mutation of Consciousness (Paperback)
I see that other reviewers rave about this book, and I don't argue that the author has some thought-provoking ideas. But have you ever known a person who was otherwise likable except that they insisted on turning every single statement into a one-liner, or relied on flowery language and obtuse metaphor to share basic ideas, as if they couldn't just hold a reasonable conversation? A person who tried SO HARD to be witty or clever that you ended up dreading their presence? That's sort of what this book is like. If the author would just share his (admittedly valuable) ideas in a direct and readable manner, the book would be only about one eighth as long but it would be all the better for it. The author's writing style is so effusive that many paragraphs and even whole sections are redundant, piled on top of each other, merely obscuring his points rather than clarifying them. I got a third of the way through the book and couldn't tolerate it anymore. Perhaps the remainder of the book is better and I missed my chance.
