Preface    

The thesis of this book is that how things looked to people everywhere until modern science threw the West temporarily off-balance has helpful things to suggest toward the creation of a viable pattern for our time.  Or to put it another way, that things more wonderful than the tunnel vision of modernity allowed are not only real but more real than the ones that pushed them out of sight.

Four additional points:

1. Science is conceding that invisibles exist, precede the visible and create it.

2. This book deals with metaphysical not social hierarchies.

3. The critique of Darwinism (as distinct from evolution) is gaining support.

4. On their own plane social problems are unsolvable.
