A Manifesto of Hope for the Future and the Promise of Enduring Freedom for Our Species The timing of this book is no accident, for humanity now stands upon the precipice of a long and grueling tribulation. However, it will not be a hopeless suffering, because, in the midst of this chaos, there will come a rare opportunity for us to free ourselves from the shackles of species bondage once and for all. To help humanity seize this opportunity in a loving and decisive way, the Guides, those who reside in the presence of the Creator as enlightened beings, share the signs and events of what is to come so we may survive. Theirs is a soul-fulfilling message to all of humankind. Do not yield your lives to fear, dismay, and hopelessness, but rather, survive through knowledge, integrity, and spiritual strength. The intention of our Creator is that we survive, thrive, and reach the stars as an enlightened and peaceful, spacefaring race. The path will be difficult for sure, but the destination is what Being In It for the Species is all about.
