The Conscious Rasta Perspectives 90-91

Conscious Rasta Perspectives Back Cover TextIt is now thirty years since I began writing and publishing these essays included in this anthology of The Conscious Rasta Perspectives 90-91. I have just rediscovered these 29 essays in the summer of 2020. This book serves as a literary time capsule, allowing me access to revealing insights into my life and times more than a quarter of a century ago. There is a readily apparent timelessness, especially given this luxury of reading in the light of two and a half decades that have passed. Because of the critical foundation of scientific futurism, which serves my contemporary research and writing, examining this time capsule of most important perspectives from my 40-year-old self makes for fascinating analysis. This collection of essays, created within about 15 months, is a living testament to the paradigm-shifting transformation which was happening at this time. During 1990-91, I was a new husband and father. At age thirty-five, I was at the height of my artistic creativity. My entertainment career was quite bright, and I was earning six figures doing what I loved. Ten years after these essays were written, I had published 21 books, an almost impossible feat. Within the ideas expressed in these Conscious Rasta perspectives, I hope that you can bear witness to the forces happening in the world, and my interpretation of these powerful winds of change, which collectively gave birth to the Conscious Rasta.
