PRESENTATION: Please join us, as Laura discusses the second book in The Oracle Institute's foundational trilogy: The Love: Of the Fifth Spiritual Paradigm.

And what exactly is the Fifth Spiritual Paradigm? The prophesied age of enlightenment foretold in our holy books, hidden in the wisdom traditions, and taught by indigenous cultures … it is the long-awaited Age of Aquarius! The First Spiritual Paradigm was the primordial period of Oneness with the Creator, pre-big bang, when we were part of the All. The Second Spiritual Paradigm lasted over 20,000 years and was centered on goddess worship (female monotheism). The Third Spiritual Paradigm lasted 5,000 years and was based on pantheons of gods and goddesses (polytheism). The Fourth Spiritual Paradigm – the current but passing era – has lasted 2,000 years, during which humanity has worshipped a male god.

In the award-winning first book of the trilogy, The Truth: About the Five Primary Religions, Oracle asserted that orthodox religion (Hinduism, Judaism, Buddhism, Christianity, and Islam) have had thousands of years to lead and yet Utopia remains elusive. Why? Because the religions created during the Third Spiritual Paradigm focused almost exclusively on the masculine half of God. As a result of what Oracle calls "trickle down deity" syndrome, our masculine, Yang, left-brain, "can do," Creation energy has outpaced and overshadowed our feminine, Yin, right-brain, "should do," Wisdom energy. In short, during the Age of Pisces we lost the Sacred Feminine. We need her back now! Or we shall face Dystopia.

In The Love, Oracle recalls the ultimate Truth foretold by the world's greatest prophets and philosophers: Love is the Way. Once we admit that orthodox religion has failed to lead us toward spiritual unity and that no unifying theosophy has yet to emerge, the answer becomes obvious: A simple religion of Love. Only Love will guide us through this unprecedented and critical juncture in human and planetary history.

The Love is a collection of essays and poetry from past and present masters on the many forms of Love. And it is a "call-to-arms" to the masses – who now are realizing that hypocritical religious and political leaders have twisted God's messages to manipulate and herd us toward all manner of delusions, such as: innate sinfulness, national boundaries, caste/class systems, perpetual lack, and the fear of "End Times." We shall end the presentation by brainstorming on how to spread Truth, Love, and Light – our shared destiny.
