Dawn of the Akashic Age: New Consciousness, Quantum Resonance, and the Future of the World Paperback – May 23, 2013
Purchase options and add-ons
• Reveals how the youngest generation is seeding the shift in consciousness
• Explains how society will be reorganized into grassroots networks like those revealed by quantum physics and experienced through social media
• With contributions from futurist John L. Petersen, ex-CEO of Sanyo Tomoya Nonaka, media activist Duane Elgin, and other visionaries
The world is changing. The transition from the mechanistic worldview to one that recognizes the interconnectedness of all life is upon us. It is the dawning of the Akashic Age. The Akashic field that connects the universe is now recognized by cutting-edge science. What we know about communication, energy, and consciousness is rapidly evolving in tandem with the new quantum worldview. Many adults are consciously evolving to meet the transitional challenges at hand, while today’s youth have arrived already hard-wired with the new consciousness. Rising from the ashes of the old systems, this Phoenix generation of radical change agents is seeding our evolution and spiritual transformation, a process that will continue over the next few decades.
Authors Ervin Laszlo and Kingsley Dennis look at the chief engine of the coming changes--the growing global understanding of nonlocality--and the development of practical applications for it. They examine how the new values and new consciousness taking hold will reorganize society from top-down hierarchies into grassroots networks like those revealed through quantum physics’ understanding of energy and information waves and experienced daily by millions through social media.
With contributions from visionary thinkers such as futurist John L. Petersen, ex-CEO of Sanyo Tomoya Nonaka, media activist Duane Elgin, systems scientist Alexander Laszlo, and spiritual economist Charles Eisenstein, this book explores the future of education, spirituality, the media, economics, food, and planetary citizenship as well as the expansion of consciousness necessary to reach that future.

- Reviewed in the United States on September 30, 2013This is a very interesting book, the first few chapters of which offer what I believe is an accurate picture of the parlous state Humankind has gotten itself into; we have become like a psychotic cannibal, who, having nearly eaten everything edible from his surroundings, has now started eating himself. Our existing ideologies and paradigms are largely bankrupt or fossilised and the notion of our extinction looms large.
But then the authors progress to discuss the reasons why our current thinking patterns have led to this state and go on to offer a view of potentially viable and successful political, economic and social structures that might ensure our survival as a species.
The bases for this 'new Humanity' includes the use of, for example, the Internet as a vehicle for the evolution of human consciousness, the dissolving of the hierarchies of power by the transfer of this power to much smaller social communities where the 'one rule for all' type of government is discarded in favour of decision-making by these smaller groupings. Also a change in the ethical basis on which business is conducted, absolute reform of the role of 'money' and much more. The author's envisage a social, economic and political philosophy based on cooperation rather than competition.
The prediction of the future has, of course, a notorious reputation for failure. But, to me, that is besides the point. If we cannot imagine a different future for ourselves and start actively discussing the basis for it, then we are, indeed, lost. I am sure that this book will seriously disturb and attract criticism from those that believe in the fundamentalism of the free-market economy and the reductionist and Darwinian philosophies that underpin our current ideologies. But this is neither a book with a vague message of hope nor a book with the 'definitive' answer. it is a serious attempt to provide a possible, positive view of the future and a basis for people to think about and discuss.
Those who come to scoff at this book may well, eventually, come to be grateful to these authors and their imaginative and optimistic work.
- Reviewed in the United States on November 29, 2017I felt the book was well written. Being environmentally and socially aware as we make day to day decisions is vitally important to achieving balance on a global level. I would recommend this book.
- Reviewed in the United States on May 6, 2016Its a very good book, even if it brings no great revelations on this current point of the path. Laszlo's chapters are excellent as his work is; clear, concise, to-the-point. Some of the guests over the chapters are not able to keep the same literary quality. Nevertheless, is a very good overview / begginers's guide to this moment and era of our planet.
- Reviewed in the United States on July 2, 2013The first four chapters present a rather black outlook for our future. However, beginning with chapter five, the book takes a positive turn and explains how the future is better than ever. I have long thought that the next evolutionary step for mankind is embodied in the Internet. This author supports this contention with plenty of examples. My adult daughter says she reads a few pages every night before going to bed - it is a good, positive feeling to understand how everything will be fine.
- Reviewed in the United States on June 25, 2013This book [Dawn of the Akashic Age] is but a litany of limiting concepts on human intelligence and potential, which is to say divine potential, set in a future police state framework of a New World Order collective with a unhealthy dose of the new quantum spirituality, i.e., the spirituality of the Borg. Any questions?
Well, just in case, though it would take three books to unravel the errors and misleading statements in this book (and I won't come close here), let's begin with Laszlo's standard thesis that we (the planet) are running out of fuel sources. Oh yes, as far we can determine there only will exist wind, solar, a little (but unlikely) tidal energy, maybe some fusion. This is nice if you are abysmally ignorant of the century-plus suppression of energy devices (by those very elite behind the NWO) which tap into, why yes, the famous akashic field!! Where, oh where did that akashic field go, that - quoting these very authors - "cosmic sea of energy?" Must be "closed for business." Read Jeane Manning Breakthrough Power: How Quantum-leap New Energy Inventions Can Transform Our World for a history of this suppression; start perusing the subject on the web. Are we really supposed to believe there has been no progress in physics for 100 years? Well there hasn't been of course in that surface show called academic physics; the real advances are all in the black programs - the programs controlled by the elite, for the elite.
A future utopia - this is what the authors envision. All is provided - "goods, services, transportation, information, education, healthcare, communication..." The authors need to read Levine's "Ameritopia;" it is in actuality a far, far more spiritual book and with more thought on the nature of utopias on one page than in this entire (Dawn) book. All utopias imply, require, inescapably demand - control, i.e., massive government FORCE applied to the people. And in this future, there will be plenty of it; it is just conveniently not mentioned, unless you might be concerned about the future "United Peacekeeping Force" - the sole military force in the world. It is correlated with the fact that the word "freedom" is not found once in this book. There of course, according to the authors, is no need for private property. Yet private property is the foundation of economic freedom, and economic freedom the foundation of political freedom. A nation or planet of people utterly dependent upon government is a nation and planet of slaves. Can one really hold that this utter abandonment of individual responsibility is considered an advanced, evolutionary state by and in this Cosmos? The authors seem to critique the banking elite, however, socialism is the very ice cream of the banking elite; it demands the infinite, unrestrained creation of money from nothing (on which the people pay the bankers interest) - a privilege given only to the banksters. Precious metals, say the authors, will have no place in the financial order of this utopia; the framers of the Constitution demanded that gold and silver be the only currency of the US (Article 1, section 10). Why? Because they hated the London bankers. They knew that the constraint of a real currency, i.e., gold, would not allow the bankers to create vast wealth from nothing, they could not take control of a nation; something Rothschild began plotting from the birth of this nation. Read the fight of Jackson against the 2nd National Bank. Read what Lindbergh or McFadden had to say at the time of the establishment of that control mechanism wholly owned by the banking elite - the Federal Reserve and its collection agency, the IRS - both born in 1913, both an abomination to a free people. Nothing these authors have to say embraces the removal of this banking elite from control of their NWO, now the authors' "United Peoples' Council." This includes their proposed "local currencies" which will be just as controlled (or destroyed) as Bitcoin. And where do the representatives on this Council come from by the way? Could it be from the same obscure hole the unelected ministers of the EU are hatched? We see that the future governments "are not formed exclusively of politicians; they include... scientists, well known thinkers/intellectuals...", i.e., the ever-present elite always found running a utopia. In general, these authors are utterly clueless as to the spiritual significance of the United States and the evolutionary advance its Constitution represents. Old hat, passé. If you want the straightforward picture as to what is being painted in this book, simply go read about UN Agenda 21.
Education - this is the new "collaborative education." Everything is to be learned in groups, done in groups, shared in groups, in that wonderful quantum coherence of mind (the mind that magically the whole world tunes into apparently just by reading something like the authors' intellectual account of quantum physics, or by reciting their new mantras - see below). Group think. How wonderful. You know, it is so like how Galileo made his discoveries. Or Newton. Or Tesla. Profound. In their "manifesto for a new consciousness," the authors trot out their new mantras (call them affirmations) for their new spiritual age, e..g, "I am an irreducible and coherent whole with the web of life on the planet." Perhaps children are supposed to recite these. I'm sure it will be an exciting session of daily programming.
The Christ Consciousness can be defined as "Cosmic Being fully aware of Itself in the individual," or conversely, the individual fully aware of himself as Cosmic Being. But there is no real individual in the authors' future. There is no individual attainment, no would there be any. Where, in their conception, is room for Anandamayi Ma, who held a train engine spinning its wheels at the station while she purchased a ticket to board? Where, in other words is there room for any God-realized being - a Babaji, a Yogananda - who is not subject to their concept of human limitation? There is no room - the utopian state would fear them.
This is an insidious philosophy. Welcome to the new Borg.
- Reviewed in the United States on July 20, 2013Excellent! This is the nitty-gritty of the Shift, the Turning of the Age, this current crisis. We're in it, and we should be aware of both the demise of outdated patterns of thinking which have brought us to this cliff edge and visions of a more integral, cooperative future. We have a responsibility to understand what is going on, to help steer human events into sustainable ways. The vision in this book is wide and long enough to open our minds and hearts, to help us see how much better we can do and be.
- Reviewed in the United States on May 3, 2014The book offered a more precise explanation of the concepts involved in the word, 'Akashic'. The book was thoroughly enjoyable.

Mrs. J. PIRES-OBRIENReviewed in the United Kingdom on March 2, 20185.0 out of 5 stars An optimist vision of the future
One should never judge a book by its cover is an old saying. But what about titles? This book’s title prompted two reservations, one related to my skepticism for prophetic writing and another in the dissonance implied by the word ‘Akashic’ and the expression ‘quantum ressonance’ in the subtitle, the first suggesting exoterism and the second science respectively.
The most important thing about.Dawn of the Akashic Age by Ervin Lazlo and Kinglsley L. Dennis is its optimist vision of the future. There is a new era around the corner called the Akashic Age. Expected for after 2030, the Akashic Age will be an era better and wiser than all previous ones, when terrorism, armed conflict, economic breakdown, famine, and economic collapse will be a thing of the past. It will introduce a good kind of stability, one that is not imposed, but based on a “sustainable network of self-reliant but cooperative communities, states, nations, and federations of nations”. The diversity of worldviews will still exist, but they will be well integrated into a united humanity. The new era will also bring a new consciousness, anchored by a written manifesto, favouring compelling people towards the things that are good for humanity as well as for the larger community of all living things.
There are many things preventing the emergence of the Akashic Age but solutions can be found by recovering our sense of oneness, by readdressing the way we relate with one another, the biosphere and the cosmos.
