The inevitable introduction of otherworldly beings into the native culture of Earth precipitates profound and permanent ruptures in the historical worldview of the previous, pre-contact, civilization.
Beyond the societal, political and technological changes that set in motion the following millions of years of Earth’s history, it proves to be the transformation of spiritual life that is the most intimate—and therefore most meaningful—to the individuals living out that history.
This book aims to cast one eye backwards upon the uniquely human spiritual worldview, and the other eye forwards upon the emerging syncretic worldview of universal spirituality.
