"The merit of Lievegoed's books is, above all, their evocatory effect. They urge one, impel one to go to work, to put into practice what one has read--either in one's own personal life, or in social life.... He was a true contemporary, a man who takes note of the issues of his time and the needs of a turbulent world." -- Golden Quill literary award by the Netherlands Publishers' Association
Humanity on the Threshold focuses on strengthening human resilience though spiritual development. This lets us see beyond the normal inner and outer limits of consciousness into sound knowledge of the higher self.
Deeper wonders of nature can also appear. If boundaries break down without preparation, then mental breakdowns might follow. Guidelines are suggested for working therapeutically with such issues with those experiencing threshold issues.
"A profound odyssey through the inner world of experience and the outer world of action, a welcome guide to the mysteries that matter."
-- Angus Jenkinson (introduction)
