Quimby offers a far-ranging and carefully researched discussion of the most serious difficulties facing us and possibilities for addressing them that exist beyond those typically considered by traditional science. Beginning with the challenges posed by environmental threats, the dangerousness of our president, and cutting-edge technologies such as artificial intelligence and robotics, he moves to examination of possibilities for dealing with them falling into four broad areas: mental, psychic, spiritual, and cosmic. Mental potentials include the placebo effect, lucid dreaming, hypnosis, and possibilities for healing and growth available in realms of the unconscious discovered in LSD research. Psychic possibilities are examined that have been revealed through carefully researched studies of ESP, remote viewing, mind over matter, healing, out-of-body experiences, and field consciousness. From the vast realm of spiritual experiences such areas as Native American rituals, psychedelic plants, contact with deceased family and friends, past lives memories, and near-death experiences are discussed. Cosmic resources include in-depth examination of crop circles and contact with alien entities.These resources or potentials in many cases have been ignored by mainstream scientists and academics and in some cases strongly criticized, particularly those involving psychic and cosmic possibilities. This criticism is carefully considered and in most cases refuted.

What emerges from Quimby's exploration is a vastly expanded vision of us humans, our possibilities, and the nature of our reality, urgently needed if we are survive as a culture inhabiting our planet earth.
