Ancient Future is the unified field theory of ancient history, culture and civilization. Not only does it lend profound insight into the workings of ancient science and philosophy, but it also explains the origins of our current civilization and the dilemma that we find ourselves in. In another way the author Wayne B. Chandler provides us solutions for extracting ourselves from the dilemma of our times. This solution lies in the understanding and application of the 7 Hermetic Laws. Chandler demonstrates that through understanding the 7 Hermetic Laws we are able to understand all phenomena from a scientific perspective and also from the historical, sociological, anthropological and spiritual levels. As Chandler explains Hermes is the ancient Greek name for the ancient Egyptian or Kemetic figure known as Thoth or Tehuti. From the perspective of western civilization, Hermes exists as the foundation of all thought, knowledge, science and philosophy. Chandler points out with much scholarly evidence and compelling arguments that current western civilization is rooted in the African model exemplified in ancient Egypt. He then takes his argument further and demonstrates that indeed world civilization from the Tigris and Euphrates of Sumer and Babylon, to the Indus valley, China, Japan and Mesoamerica have all been profoundly influenced if not fundamentally shaped and created by Blacks who emerged out of Africa or had always inhabited these centers human progress from the beginning of time in these far flung regions of the world.
The scholarship of Wayne B. Chandler is nothing short of breathtaking. The breadth and depth of his research that goes deeply into concepts of quantum physics, biology, metaphysics, astronomy, astrology, religion, spirituality, theology and more are unsurpassed and has created a body of work whose legacy and relevance will endure far beyond our time. It is time that world leaders, politicians, religious leaders, gurus, scholars and the common person read this book and begin to earnestly apply the wisdom of our ancient past. So many scholars, leaders and students simply speak about history, knowledge and information as if it is simply an intellectual exercise. Ancient Future urges and challenges us to understand, apply and live the wisdom in order to truly emancipate ourselves in mind, body and spirit from the illusion of ego and the arrogance of superiority that is slowly destroying us.
Ancient Future is the text in a college course I teach called Ancient Wisdom vs. Modern Science precisely because I want my students to develop independent critical thinking skills and to transform their lives into testaments of self mastery. Ancient Future is an essential tool in that process.
