Robes is a book of global dimensions that offers a compelling look at the next century. By turns startling, comforting, enlightening, and unnerving, it takes a deep look at the coming changes in nations, governments, and the rise of business. It goes on to examine our institutions, technology, and culture, including the emerging human potential embedded in the body/mind system. "The most important thing for you to remember as you look at these events," said the little men in brown robes, "is that things could be so much easier if you understood why these things are happening, and if you worked with them instead of against them. For you to work with them, however, you must have some idea of where you are going."
