The film stimulates audiences to embrace this contemporary moment of revolution and transformation with a newly emergent worldview. Is today’s crisis an evolutionary keyhole that marks a turning point into a new paradigm born of a fundamentally different cosmological vision? Is a fundamental transformation of our civilization’s worldview the gateway to our survival and flourishing as a species? What does that emerging worldview look like?īased on the book Cosmos and Psyche: Intimations of a New World View by acclaimed scholar Richard Tarnas, the film tells the Story of Now by focusing on the current “world transit” of Uranus and Pluto (2007-2020), the archetypal picture for “revolutionary transformation.” Each time this planetary configuration has recurred over the centuries, we see how a zeitgeist has manifested on Earth in concentrated periods of revolution, paradigm shifts, breakdown and breakthrough that have irrevocably changed the course of the world on mass scales.
