Is There Life on Earth?

Each essay in this new collection represents movement through a musical octave - a cycle of transmutation. And within this transmutation sits humanity. This essay cycle offers questioning, observations, commentary, analysis, speculations, and thought experiments regarding the current state of modern society, the human condition, possible future timelines, and potential cosmic scenarios. What can be said with some degree of certainty is that these essays are for the present times. Humanity appears to be positioned within an arc of transmutation, with several potential permutations. However, the future may already have been actualized - upon some level - only that it has yet to manifest within the physical domain. And it is this manifestation or expression - this unfolding - that concerns us here. Humanity may already be poised upon the precipice or threshold, with only a little further to go.
