Overview
Explore the darker hinterlands of a world accelerating into a full-blown immersion of techno-materialism and its consequences for the human condition... In an exceedingly relevant analysis of the modern technological world, Kingsley Dennis demonstrates that humanity is rushing headlong towards a critical and decisive moment for human civilisation which he terms the 'Threshold', where the trajectory for human evolvement is facing 'counter-evolutionary forces' that not only reject the path of the human spirit but aim to sabotage our connection to it. The Threshold brings the reader face-to-face with the intensifying issues of technocracy, transhumanism, AI-theology and false transcendence, and the re-defining of the biological human condition. Also examined are themes of reality distortion, ber-nihilism, planetary re-shaping and environmental modification, neo-gnosticism, the sacred and the profane, and the task of evil in our current times. Dennis explains that humanity is currently experiencing intense times for these years are a precursor to the critical 'threshold' where the future for humankind will be decided. Humanity, both collectively and individually, will need to choose between a future of deepening profane materialism what the author calls the 'will to technology' or a life that recognises the presence of metaphysical truths and the rising capacities of spirit-consciousness. At this time, unlike any other in known history, in which the planet is engaged in a struggle for the presence of the human soul upon the Earth, Kingsley Dennis' thought-provoking prose offers a fresh perspective on the future of humanity.

“Alarming, disturbing, bracing, challenging—The Threshold is all these, a book confronting the essential questions of our age. Is technology subsuming us? Is our humanity being lost? What is our best path forward to human flourishing? Read The Threshold and grapple with what it presents: you need to read this book.” - Arthur Versluis, author of 'American Gnosis, Breaking Through the Materialistic Deception'
