I’ve been neglecting to send out newsletters for several months–been busy with deadlines for two books coming out in 2026– so there’s a lot to catch up on.
I will be giving a talk in Boulder, Jan. 23rd, at the Society for Scientific Exploration (follow link to RSVP if you’d like to attend).
The subject of the talk concerns our current evolutionary predicament, which I’ve been researching to prepare for the publication of a third edition of my book, Crossing the Event Horizon — Human Metamorphosis and the Singularity Archetype, to be published by Inner Traditions. The previous link is to the second edition, which is available free on zaporacle.com, but in a couple of months, I will have to take that down to comply with my contract with Inner Traditions. Print and Kindle versions of the first edition can be found on Amazon, and the link to the second edition also takes you to a free audio version of the first edition. I’d be grateful for any thoughts on the topic or research leads, which could include science-fiction novels that reflect the unfolding mythology I’ve been tracking since 1978.
I last spoke about the Singularity Archetype at a course at Esalen, where I was part of the teaching staff with three of my favorite writers/thinkers: Jeffrey Kripal, Joshua Cutchin, and Kevin Cann. Jeffrey has kindly offered to write an introduction for the third edition.
The other book coming out in 2026 is the sequel to Parallel Journeys, Parallel Portal. I had notes for a possible sequel when I published Parallel Journeys in 2023, but given that it took me 45 years to complete the first book, and that I was 65 when it was published, I wondered how many 45-year books I had left. Two, maybe three if I scrupulously avoided gluten? Actually, the sequel came together in months– a year with a dozen levels of editing. I won’t finalize the book until April, when I will be recording both books at the Inner Traditions audiobook studio in Vermont, so anyone who wants to read it and give feedback can still influence the book.
