Andrew Beath, author of Consciousness in Action, explores the next step in the evolution of human consciousness. He is founder of the EarthWays Foundation in Malibu and a powerful advocate of social justice and environmental responsibility. He believes we stand at the confluence of two rivers of energy in our perception of the world that will create the Earth’s future. One features scientific materialism and consumerism. The other is an emergent consciousness in which the living planet is the center of attention.
