The first Reformation led to social phenomena like the English civil war, where people overthrew the corrupt Papacy and government. The Second Reformation allows people to directly experience the visions and revelations of prophets through psychedelic catalysts. By going deeper and dealing with the root cause of the crises, writer Daniel Pinchbeck believes we can create a completely different shared reality.
Western elites have been embracing mysticism in recent decades. The coming together of this and a revived esoterism could break the materialist capitalist logjam, leading to a completely different shared reality. Daniel Pinchbeck discusses how the ecological emergency could be tackled – along with the dangers of people becoming dispossessed in the wake of automation – and how we can imagine things in a radically different way.
