Winston... pick up a copy of James Redfield's CELESTINE PROPHECY... it taught the exact same thing this clown is saying 20 some years ago and Redfield "borrowed" the ideas from even older sources. Yes, it is a plausible scenario, one that can aid folks in developing a better understanding of the self and how we interact with all things and how all things teach us. But one must also employ the rest of this MetaPHYSICAL ideology -- I emphasize "physical" because we live in what our mind believes to be, a tangible/physical realm and thus, we must EXIST HERE AND NOW not on some fantastic plane of emotional departure.
BALANCE is the key behind it all and sadly, those that become overly fascinated by rhetoric of this sort, the conspiracy crapola, etc. is not displaying any hint of balance. The surprising (for most) thing is that the majority of atheist (and I'm not speaking of the fanatics) actually do express the kind of serenity and zen-like attitudes all of these New Age clones charge folks to learn about and develop.
After you read the aforementioned book, get the workbook that goes with it and work the steps... then, if you believe you're gaining some clarity on things, track down a Buddhist cleric and start moving down that road. I think you'll find that the world isn't as terrible and terrifying or even as filled with boogiemen, as you presently focus on.
