Time of Transcendence: A New Vision of Human Evolution

In his groundbreaking book, Time of Transcendence, Leonardo Boff presents a new vision of human evolution that is both inspiring and thought-provoking. Boff argues that we are on the cusp of a new era, a time of transcendence, in which we will move beyond our current limitations and create a more just and sustainable world.

A New Understanding of Evolution

Boff begins by challenging the traditional view of evolution as a purely biological process. He argues that evolution is also a spiritual process, driven by our innate desire for meaning and purpose. This spiritual dimension of evolution is what allows us to transcend our current limitations and create a better world.

The Three Stages of Evolution

Boff divides human evolution into three stages:

  • The first stage is characterized by our struggle for survival. We are focused on meeting our basic needs and protecting ourselves from danger.
  • The second stage is characterized by our quest for power and control. We seek to dominate others and accumulate wealth and possessions.
  • The third stage is the time of transcendence. We move beyond our selfish desires and focus on creating a more just and sustainable world.

The Challenges of the Time of Transcendence

Boff acknowledges that the time of transcendence will not be easy. We will face many challenges, including:

  • The challenge of overcoming our fear of change. We are creatures of habit, and we often resist change, even when it is for our own good.
  • The challenge of letting go of our attachments. We are often attached to our possessions, our power, and our status. It can be difficult to let go of these things, even when we know that they are holding us back.
  • The challenge of facing our shadow side. We all have a shadow side, a part of ourselves that we don't want to acknowledge. It can be difficult to face our shadow side, but it is essential if we want to transcend our limitations.

The Promise of the Time of Transcendence

Despite the challenges, Boff believes that the time of transcendence is a time of great promise. He argues that we have the potential to create a more just and sustainable world, a world in which everyone can live in peace and harmony.

Boff's book is a call to action. He urges us to embrace the time of transcendence and to work together to create a better world. Time of Transcendence is a must-read for anyone who is interested in the future of humanity.

Why You Should Read Time of Transcendence

Time of Transcendence is a powerful and inspiring book that will change the way you think about evolution and the future of humanity. Boff's writing is clear and accessible, and he presents his ideas in a way that is both thought-provoking and engaging.

If you are looking for a book that will challenge your assumptions and inspire you to think about the world in a new way, then I highly recommend Time of Transcendence.
