Synopsis

When Peter Calvert gathered a small group of meditators and set them the task of opening their minds to whoever arrived, he didn't anticipate the astonishing encounters that would result. Two situation rapidly emerged.

The first was that the meditators discovered a small percentage of people become confused after death. Lost in a transitional zone, they need guidance to move on to the next phase of their existence. This book offers a selection from the many rescues the meditators performed.

The second situation was profoundly troubling. In a series of vexed visits, nature spirits pleaded with the meditators to share an urgent message with humanity regarding the dire state of the planet's ecosystems, which have reached a point of crisis.

Spirits have long been viewed as meddling or dangerous. People of the Earth shows this assumption is incorrect. The book offers a new perspective on spirits, indicating their diversity, their differing functions and perspectives, and suggests how they may be categorised.

Through a sequence of intriguing dialogues between the meditators and visiting non-embodied beings, People of the Earth provides sobering insights to those who seek to understand what is required of us spiritually to sustain the health of the planet's ecosystems.

About this title

Review

I have always considered the nature of our embodiment the most important unresolved issue of our civilisation. Either we are algorithmic pods without roots except in the ephemeral molecular systems of which we are composed, or we are spirits in temporal bodies in a universe that invites many forms of spirit existence and embodiment.

Peter Calvert and his colleagues have made an ambitious attempt to communicate with disembodied life forms. People of the Earthprovides methods for tapping into the invisible universe and their outcome: conversations with possible deceased humans stuck between worlds, nature spirits, and entities of radically different intelligences from us. The fact that these dialogues are of varying clarity, alien credibility, and internal continuity is not as important as the acts of faith that generated them. The urgent truth is that we have to begin somewhere if we are going to explore tabooed portals, claim our place in the greater universe, and find the wisdom necessary to redeem our own world.
