extraterrestrial Readings….

08 Wild Cards, Cultural Intelligence, Earth Intelligence, History

Phi Beta Iota: Below the line are a number of books with links to their Amazon pages. The most interesting point we drew from creating this list is that the intersection of religion and science that is now occurring is coincident with the intersection of consciousness and extraterrestrial convergence. The Mayans foretold a return or “first disclosure” of extraterrestrials in 2012–some religions believe 2012 will be a year of apocalypse. We believe it will be a year of Awakening, enabling global public consciousness across all boundaries, in a manner never before achieved.
