Why are aliens so widespread in ancient tradition, mythology, religion and even now in our modern age? 
 
The truth can be found within the mind and it’s connection to another plain of existence. We can see this 'dark' side of the mind and alien connection because many of the methods used by ancient man to access his own internal world. This internal world may in fact be connection to the multiverse and other realms of existence. 
 
Sometimes with the use of drugs and sometimes with other methods such as meditation or prayer we can access this other dimension. Sometimes the bodies own hormone drug cabinet will open up a pathway for us to wander freely. 
 
There are always two sides to every tale and so we have to walk a pathway between these world's of order and chaos. This pathway is multi-levelled. It is the hypnagogic - the point between waking and sleeping. This state of being enables us to be aware of the unconscious world. Within this realm man can see and experience what Carl Jung termed archetypes - things we all see. What is becoming clear today is that these archetypes, witnessed across time by mankind, are in reality true connections to other dimensions. 
 
This is the tale of those connections. The moments in humanity when we have come face to face with what we call, aliens. And these aliens have more than influenced our history, they have created it.

The Perennials - The Megatrends...

Mauro F. Guillén

Get the best from accelerating social change with the new audiobook from the bestselling author of 2030 and “acclaimed thought leader” (Kirkus), Mauro Guillén. Adam Grant praises how the book "invites us to rethink our careers, our families, and our future plans.” Find out why business leaders and bestselling authors around the world are calling it "sharply relevant and necessary" (William P. Lauder), "insightful and deeply researched" (Richard Florida), and "a must read" (Mohammed A. El-Erian). In today’s world, the acceleration of megatrends – increasing longevity and the explosion of technology among many others – are transforming life as we now know it.In The Perennials, bestselling author of 2030 Mauro Guillén unpacks a sweeping societal shift triggered by demographic and technological transformation. Guillén argues that outmoded terms like Boomers, Gen X, Millennials, and Gen Z have long been used to pigeonhole us into rigid categories and life stages, artificially preventing people from reaching their full potential. A new postgenerational workforce known as “perennials” – individuals who are not pitted against each other either by their age or experience – makes it possible to liberate scores of people from the constraints of the sequential model of life and level the playing field so that everyone has a chance at living a rewarding life. Guillén unveils how this generational revolution will impact young people just entering the workforce as well as those who are living and working longer. This multigenerational revolution is already happening and Mauro Guillén identifies the specific cultural, organizational and policy changes that need to be made in order to switch to a new template and usher in a new era of innovation powered by the perennials.A Macmillan Audio production from St. Martin’s Press.
