I have always found the writings/lectures of William Irwin Thompson
interesting & well worth the time & energy. I have just started rereading his excellent "Coming into Being: Artifacts & texts in the evolution of consciousness"
This book is well written with much thought and research given to the various subjects discussed. The book takes us on a journey thru the ages cleverly illustrating and providing different perspectives on many areas and subjects that relate to the evolution of consciousness and how it relates to society, the world and us.
He provides refreshing viewpoints on subjects ranging from science and myths to religion and history. He even mentions art, which brought a smile to my face. He talks about culture and how it has impacted on society and shaped our consciousness. Evolution both past and present is also discussed as well. He provides a vision of our past, present and future.
For the reader who wishes to gain a view of where our planet, energies and culture are heading I recommend this book.
