Dear Friends,
It's been a long time coming, and finally, here it is: V 2.0.0 of Metaconsciousness: Mythology for a Post-Civilized World, with the addition, mainly, of a new chapter: 16. Myth of a Golden Age.
I would like to thank correspondent M. Andersen for the stimulus to write this chapter, second offering in Part II: Open-Source Post-Civilized Mythologies. She will recognize some, but by no means all, of the chapter's content as having originated in correspondence with her.
Additionally, as you will learn if you bother to glance over Appendix C. Revision History of This Document, that the entire book has been carefully revised, "especially to tighten historic and prehistoric chronology consistent with the academic myth that the 'first civilizations' had their inception approximately 5,000 years ago, not 10,000 years ago, as loosely represented in prior versions." The result is not majorly different from prior versions, yet the changes in their aggregate are comprehensive enough to warrant moving the work to V 2.0.0.
I hope readers will find Chapter 16 stimulating and informative, particularly as regards not widely known yet persuasive evidence for the presence of Golden Age peoples on this planet during "prehistoric" times entirely predating the rise of the "first civilizations" acknowledged by "mainstream anthropology" – and the hope this gives for the possible emergence of a "New Golden Age" in our own lifetimes.
The preceding is another edition of an accumulating collection of "Dear Friends" letters addressed to subscribers to the Freedom Digital Library distribution list. To subscribe, or unsubscribe, send an e-mail stating your wish to [address obfuscated], and I will add your e-mail address to, or subtract it from, the current distribution list.
The communications you receive from me via e-mail will be brief, will not include any attachments, and will (with possible minor exceptions) merely inform subscribers that there is a new "Dear Friends" letter posted to the "Dear Friends" page; with possibly a brief description of its contents. That's about it.
Love, Peace, Joy, Now,
Harmon
