The New Creation Story by Andrew Beath
“Andrew Beath’s The New Creation Story is in the great tradition of Thomas Berry’s Universe Story.  It is a terrific book that describes a new, more accurate, and more hopeful story of humankind on its evolutionary journey. It is practical philosophy that gives a context for reflection and action.”      
          – David Orr, Oberlin Distinguished Professor and environmental sustainability author

Dear Friends,

Summer is in full sway as we continue our series of gatherings at my family house, also the home of EarthWays Foundation—the Malibu Pueblo. For those who have been to a “book reading” for The New Creation Story, you will find this gathering to be different. The intention is to build community around the relational principles found in the New Creation trilogy, which is subtitled: Spirit, Eros and Climate Chaos.

There will be a presentation to describe the context in which we find ourselves immersed, in addition to a twenty minute reading from The New Creation Story, and interactive questions pertaining to the human condition: who are we, where did we come from, what are our current planet-threatening challenges, and how might we heal the wounds that this emergency is causing.

This healing is personal, including one’s physical body, emotional wellbeing, one’s psyche and one’s spiritual connection; it is also relational and cultural, thus the term Eros in the subtitle—universal attraction affecting each individual, as well as the tiniest particle and the grandest galaxy. Our objective in being together is to help heal one another, our culture and our planet Earth.

There is no charge or required donation. The 17th is an almost-full moon, as has been our short tradition—magnificent to see and appreciate from our Malibu perch. Please bring some “finger food” to share with others, but there will not be a full meal so we will officially end before dinner; our time together will include opportunities to visit with each other and enjoy the ocean air, the sunset and the moon rise. We have lots of room, so please bring a friend or two, and feel free to forward this invitation to others.

Beauty, Love and Courage,
Andrew Beath for EarthWays

The New Creation Story Book 3: The Ecological Epoch
“A bold and brilliant analysis of the human story set against the predicament of climate change. Beath strikes at the heart (exposes the pain) of our cultural paralysis, explores the root causes and skillfully describes the way to a responsible and enlightened future. I can genuinely say how very good it is, and how particularly poignant it was to read it after the Climate March in NYC—in the context of the ever-present question of what will become of us, what should we do?”

“Beath has written a thoughtful, passionate history of The Planet, The Human Species, and, basically, The Future, where we are now, and where may be headed. It’s both an easy-going and a stunning read, one of these profound books that seemingly come out of nowhere. One of the best reads in a long time, and couldn’t be more timely.”

Dear Friends of EarthWays,

Months ago we began a series of gatherings at my family house, the Malibu Pueblo, which is also the home of EarthWays Foundation. Our next gathering will be Sunday, May 22nd, at 6:00 pm. The intention is to build community around the relational principles found in The New Creation Story trilogy, which is subtitled: Spirit, Eros and Climate Chaos.

For those who have been to one of my “book readings” you will find this gathering to be different. It’s more a social gathering than a reading. There will be a 15-minute presentation to describe our present-day human condition—the context in which we find ourselves. In addition, we will have a twenty minute reading from The New Creation Story, and a question/answer discussion about the ideas that spontaneously arise, such as: who are we are as species, where did self-reflective consciousness come from? What are our current planet-threatening challenges, and how might we heal the wounds that the current human world-view and behavior are creating. This healing is personal, including one’s physical body, emotional well-being, one’s psyche and one’s spiritual connection; the necessary healing is also relational and cultural, as the term Eros in the subtitle implies. Our objective in being together is to help heal one another, our culture and our planet

No charge or donation is required. The 22nd is nearly the full moon—as has been our short tradition—magnificent to see and appreciate from our Malibu perch. Please bring some “finger food” to share with others, but there will not be a full meal so we will officially end before dinner; our time together will include opportunities to visit with each other and enjoy the ocean air, the sunset and the moon rise. We have lots of room, so please bring a friend or two.

The New Creation Story

The New Creation Story

EARTHWAYS

Our New Creation Story is a long journey from the Big Bang to the Present Moment. Our planet is withering.

This story tells us why and shows us how to overcome humankind’s monumental challenges by making choices based on our species’ recently advanced consciousness—providing a new context for everything that really matters: Knowledge, Appreciation, Awe, Gratitude, Truth, Beauty, Love, Courage, Joy, Relationship and Intimacy.

These pages examine the crisis and opportunity of our current human epoch. We examine “deep time”, including where we came from, who we are as a species, and why we are out of alignment with Earth’s community of all life.

Human consciousness has always been in transition and is currently becoming more complex. But is there enough time to save us from ourselves? The answer to this conundrum runs the gamete between cosmology, life origins, archeology, anthropology, early civilizations, psychology and today’s new sciences—all examined through esoteric prisms, such as perennial philosophy, spiritual mysticism and newfound humility.

The story is founded on universal Consciousness and focused on human consciousness in particular, including art, music, mythology, metaphysics and Eros.

These pages tell the story of the “divine feminine” coming to know the “enlightened masculine” as never before—a walk through deep time unlike any other. As long as we retain our current cultural mindset, climate chaos political conflicts over scarce resources, such as clean water, will also increase. There is no easy political solution. Nothing less than changing how we see the world, our worldview, will solve the current dilemmas.

This new story adds perspective that will help to integrate Ecological Epoch consciousness into our political and social landscape, thereby providing a lens with which we are able to see through the myopic political propaganda and corporate greed that are currently creating irreversible ecological damage and leading us into social chaos. Our hope for the future resides in the unexpected, in the irrational, in the intuitive.

Mostly, our hope comes from faith in the human capacity to find a way through, to be brilliant when circumstances require brilliance, because we are standing on a precipice that will destroy us unless we act brilliantly—now.

For a person to be as alive as it is possible to be, to fully express her humanity and experience her body, mind and spirit in their most profound essence, it is essential to participate in the Ecological Epoch, immersing in its ideas and emotions.

 

The Ecological Epoch expresses a new, evolved worldview, both intellectual and intuitive, and provides guidelines for social behavior that respect and protect all life. “Andrew Beath has written a phenomenal book, and a great read, one that creates within its pages the thought and heart forms which might actually open the door to mass human survival. Beath weaves a tale of a new Creation Story that is so compelling—and so perfectly textured inside our human condition—that he awakens in the reader the actual impulse to become a vessel for the changes of perspective, values and behaviors required if we humans and other species are going to have a longer run on this beautiful and divine orb—making this a great and important book.” Jay Levin, founder and former editor-in-chief of the LA Weekly newspaper
