The Gathering

The Gathering, by Joseph Samsen, is the result of a lifetime of investigation into Chinese philosophy, kung fu, metaphysics, and consciousness studies. Based on interdisciplinary research spanning the ritual and shamanism found in the earliest civilizations all the way up to current politics in the United States, The Gathering offers a remarkable number of original ideas regarding spiritual traditions, science, law, ethics, and political change. In addition, The Gathering takes the reader on an adventure into the mysterious multidimensional realms behind the "seen." By recognizing the existence of ghosts, angels, parapsychism, non-physical influences on our society and the many-lifetime, birth/rebirth cycle of each and every human, The Gathering is able to offer cutting-edge new ways of perceiving the world in the hopes that such perceptions would help us question old paradigms and in the end, make us better citizens of planet Earth. The Gathering includes: Lessons from the Chinese art of kung fu, important new insights into this ancient evolutionary practice. Information to help young adults avoid common mistakes when it comes to getting on track with their own personal evolutionary path or life mission. An introduction to a higher ethic than the man-made ethics written in law books: the cosmoethic. Comprehensive strategies for social change that consider consciousness-based solutions, political core teachings, and the next chess moves for world peace. The messages contained in this book can help provide individuals with a deep understanding of human behavior and human politics that is much needed at this time. Beautifully illustrated by Heidi Hanson, The Gathering is a resource for personal evolution and political liberation.
