As we open the pages of Preparing for the Great Waves of Change, we are confronted with several new challenges and concepts for us as individuals and for humanity as a whole about the world we live in and about the universe around us. As a world, we are now facing two significant challenges.

The first is what this book calls the "Great Waves of Change," which are a converging set of social, environmental, and economic forces impacting the world.

The second is Contact with a "Greater Community" of intelligent life in the universe. Visitation by extraterrestrial life from beyond our solar system is now underway around the world and represents a major step in the evolution of the human species and a significant challenge to our human sovereignty.

Preparing for the Great Waves of Change is part of a larger communication received by Marshall Vian Summers from a group of spiritual teachers offering a new awareness and preparation for navigating the challenges of our rapidly changing world. It is a book of teachings to help us discover what the signs of our changing world may be telling us at a deeper level. It encourages us to bring forth the gift of our innate Knowledge?not intellectual knowledge but an innate human intelligence attempting to guide us in life. It is about undertaking an inner and outer preparation in our lives to help us develop our innate intelligence to guide our actions step by step as we face the alarming likelihood of escalating food costs and shortages, economic hardship, rising sea levels, catastrophic weather events, and conflict and war over the world's remaining resources, all while facing competitive visitation from the universe.
