Modern Esoteric

Overview

An examination into humanity's first great awakening

Winner of:Best Book Design 2014, American Graphic DesignOrganized into three sections—Lifeology, Control, and Thrive—Modern Esoteric examines the flaws in modern history and looks at how conspiracy theories, esoteric knowledge, and fringe subjects can be used to help change the dead-end course humanity seems to be following. The Lifeology section explores the long and storried "alternative narrative" of life on this planet. In the Control section, author Brad Olsen examines how Big Brother is here in the form of the New World Order, and how they keep the knowledge of humankind's true nature from the mass population. Finally, the Thrive section looks at all the ways humans are evolving to achieve their full potential.

Reviews

“Brad Olsen has done a vast amount of searching to come up with Future Esoteric, and putting it together coherently and beautifully, he has saved us all a ton of time just when we are running out of it. Dots are connected and threads knit together, revealing an intentional predicament and leading in the direction of practical, love-based solutions.”  —Foster Gamble, president and cofounder, Clear Compass Media on Future Esoteric

"We can overhaul the global financial system, bridge the gulf between science and religion and overcome the divisions that lead to wars. There is a better way, and it's up to us to be the best we can be, says Olsen in his grand-vision book." —Nexus

"The introduction of Modern Esoteric alone is the most thought-provoking piece I've read in years. This book is for two kinds of people: Those who already know or suspect that the world is not as we have been led to believe and for those are just beginning to figure that out." —Michael Braunstein, Omaha Reader
