"The Darkness Is Not Now" is an experience. If you enjoy digging deep, you'll find this book provides original answers. It raises questions we sometimes dare not ask due our human love of stereotypical thinking. This is a story realistically told, via the Red Lady of Paviland (really a young man). It gives a voice to a people who played a major role 33,000 years ago, the artistic rock people of our Martian past. The book also introduces the "horse people", often the subjects of many of the cave paintings, and questions the mysterious artistic skills and the role Mars played long ago. Was Mars always a dead planet of dust? Perhaps it once held life and was once a dimension we no longer see or understand. "The Darkness is Not Now" illustrates, in a subtle, reflective, poetical and earthy, way how our own world is steadily dissolving by our own hands because modern humans chose to push the beautiful Cro-Magnon people, or Pavilandians, into obscurity. Few authors dare to open a door to something original, with no restrictions on insight, imaginative solutions, and courage. If you love the arts, love nature, want to be inspired, and if you seek a never-before-told account of prehistory, this book is for you.

How did humans perceive life, the world, and one another a million years ago? How was it different from the way we perceive life today? What does 'a million years' mean in a time when there is no time? Two dimensions—primitive and civilized—collided in prehistory causing chaos to the primitive world we call Earth. In Forbidden Dimensions, psychologist C. G. Browne argues that ancient humans were innately constructed not to change, and that the concept of development is at the heart of some devastating psychological and social problems we are facing today as a species. Has the ability to develop really evolved or has it been woven in? Will progress ever stop? Will humankind ever arrive at its destination or are we stuck in a trap, destined to time travel, modify, and adapt for eternity? Forbidden Dimensions is a challenging and philosophical exploration of past, present, and future Mind.
