"If you do not express your own original ideas, if you do not listen to your own being, you will have betrayed yourself. You will have also betrayed your community in failing to make your contribution."
- Rollo May, American existential philosopher
When completed in its initial form, with that taking place an year and a half after work on the project started in March of 2006, the title of the book was The Day Belief Becomes History, and the manuscript was less than 500 pages, double spaced. I felt the title was leaving the false impression that the book was exclusively about religion, and a couple of years later I changed it to something more appropriate considering what it was foreseeable that was going to happen, rather sooner than later, in the world: A Time of Change.
The notion that this could become a book-of-books kind of book developed over time and it was not premeditated. By 2013, the manuscript was now over 700 pages, single spaced. When it grew to over 1,000 pages, it became a two-volume book. Nothing about the structure, the format, or the scope of the book was planned. Everything would develop naturally, intuitively into the book A Time of Change is today.
Something generating unabashed frustration at times, one would often sigh with relief convinced the final version was ready for release, only to have that feeling disappear within a week or so. Work on the project seemed to be going on forever, with no end in sight, and yet, after restarting editing the project, it would become more than obvious that it needed more work, more researching and analyzing. As new and significant material was added, an even larger and a more accurate image of where we are as a civilization and of how we got here would emerge. That was how the project ended up a three-volume book, a little over 2,000 pages, and over 200 images.
In the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s students in colleges and universities were into The Communist Manifesto for two reasons. First, it addressed what by now was an ancestral need for change every new generation felt compelled to dedicate a few moments of its busy fraternity life to. Secondly, it was less than 50 pages long. In other words, it was an easy read and the message was rather clear. The Capital by the same author, on the other hand, is, wouldn't you know it, three-volume long and has 2,000 pages.
As the not always truth-friendly Wikipedia informs us, The Capital is about the fact that "the motivating force of capitalism is in the exploitation of labor, whose unpaid work is the ultimate source of surplus value." You are going to find plenty of that in A Time of Change. However, these three volumes amounting to 2,000 pages are putting the whole thing into perspective by enabling the reader to focus on the actual circumstances that gave us the current status quo, the current existential system where society is controlled by the way of money, religion, and political forms of government, democracy included. In short, A Time of Change is not about just exposing this social reality for what it is, but how the rulers of the planet have organized this system for the purpose of using Earth people as "the ultimate source of surplus value" for thousands of years now. That was one of the main reasons why, over time, this became a book-of-books, and why I knew early into work on it that no publisher was going to want to have something to do with it.
It helps to know how things were put together when you need to take something apart, and it makes the process a lot more enlightening to know what lies behind the illusion of reality you have been made to perceive as real reality for your entire existence as a civilization. Since they are all connected, it helps to know who gave us the institution of religion, the institution of slavery, and in the end the capitalist system.
It all begins with our origin, with the origin of life on this planet in general. From there we go to the inevitable realization that the orchestrated creation vs. evolution debate is a mind trick plaid on the inhabitants of the planet to prevent them from knowing their origin, their true nature and potential, and, in the end, the purpose of life. That explains the subtitle of the book: On The True Origin Of Life, Universe, And Civilization Earth.
The good news is we are destined and have the power to liberate ourselves. That means things are not going to be forever the way they have been. Life on Earth is going to change significantly in the decades and centuries ahead. As a matter of fact, things are changing at a higher pace as we speak, which is why it is better to make the effort and become aware of the liberating knowledge, 2,000 pages and all. This way we avoid being left behind. This way we will forever be protected against being used as the "ultimate source of surplus value."
And if you are concerned about what is awaiting you on the other side of the wall, as you are going to see in the book, there is light, harmony, truth, and honesty, brotherhood, and equality beyond the confines of the illusion of reality we have been made to take for real reality for too long now.

This is a one-man's work, so far. The manuscript has not been edited or proofed by a second party, and it remains to be seen if the book will be made available in the future under different circumstances. For, while the author remains open to all possibilities, a sudden en mass influx of earth shaking information may not be beneficial to our society. That earth shaking information is nevertheless here for those who may happened on this site, one ready for the paradigm shift truth seeker at the time.
It is certain that within the next decade or so the state of our civilization, American society included, is not going to be what it is today. A consequence of that, publishing houses will be at liberty to publish this book. We live here and now, though, meaning what the future is going to bring is not our immediate concern. As long as we are diligently dedicating time and effort to our true mission in life, we will always be where we need to be, and by we is meant the entire world.
