Rewriting perceptions of reality and unravelling the conspiracies of the modern mirror-world Have you ever wondered why things in life aren't quite as they seem? Why we celebrate distorted entertainments to such an extreme; or why an industrial-technology-media complex has become the dominant political and economic force of governance? Why our way of life seems morally corrupt and our choices upside-down? This is the Inversion: the model of reality that our brains have been programmed to accept and which also compels us to participate in and sustain. In his ground-breaking book, Kingsley Dennis examines these issues, questions this reality-model, and comes to some surprising conclusions. Dennis unpicks the complexities of our manipulated reality, enlightening readers to the nature and mechanisms of the inverted, mirror world that so many people have become lost within. Yet it does not need to remain this way – if people are ready and willing to open their eyes to what is going on around them. The Inversion deals with unpleasant truths which we too often ignore because a veil has been pulled over our eyes and minds. Within its pages, readers will find out about the hidden hands that work to normalize the madness of the ‘upside-down world.’ Dennis also examines the social engineering of spiritual control mechanisms, machinic consciousness, the metaverse, entropic or negative forces, the evolutionary impulse, the nature of the hybrid self – and much more. This book is for those readers who are ready to open their mind and to perceive a greater reality.

"Many of us at Cygnus feel that things in the outside material world are in some way wrong and don't fit in with our values. Of course, perhaps that's the way it's meant to be and there is nothing we can do but focus on our own practices and our own consciences. But it can still be reassuring and give us strength if we understand what is happening. Kingsley Dennis is aware of this but throws us a rope which we can use to drag ourselves clear of it all, the "deep materialism" he says we are "embedded" in. His book is very much influenced by the teachings of Rudolf Steiner and Gurdjieff.  Above all it is guided by Gnosticism, which is well used to mapping a dysfunctional world. The author maps out the territory very well and it's daunting to contemplate.  He urges us of course to stay awake, alert and above all discerning." Cygnus Review, Autumn 2023 "Kingsley Dennis is one of the most astute and penetrating commentators on our current human situation and trajectory. In this cogent analysis, he diagnoses the deeper roots and trends of cultural evolution to show how we need to wake up from our manipulated consensus reality construct and affirm our spiritual identity as the core of what it means to be human. An essential briefing for our time." David Lorimer, Programme Director of Scientific and Medical Network & Chair of Galileo Commission ‘The Inversion dares to offer a metaphysical diagnosis to the human condition. It raises burning questions of soul and spirit, demonic hierarchies and powers and principalities of darkness, as a necessary means to articulate our affliction and isolate a pathogen that has been in our blood since Adam first grabbed a fig leaf.’ Jasun Horsley, author of The Vice of Kings and The Kubrickon  Selected Endorsements for Kingsley L. Dennis’ previous books: UNIFIED: Cosmos, Life, Purpose by Kingsley L. Dennis  & Nicola Mortimer (Beautiful Traitor Books, 2021) "UNIFIED is a unique synthesis of insights drawn from contemporary science with information channeled not from a single being but from a larger unified field of awareness. The result is a deep re-visioning of human existence with a special focus on the critical transition humanity has entered. Fascinating reading at the crossroads with a keen eye for what is needed in the years ahead."                                   Chris Bache, author of LSD and the Mind of the Universe   Healing the Wounded Mind by Kingsley L. Dennis (Clairview Books, 2019) "Kingsley Dennis, with eloquence and erudition, knows how to enter a field that most people find daunting, by way of a relentless search for new ways of thinking. Dennis, like few others, exhibits a timeless enthusiasm for discovery." James Cowan, author of A Mapmaker’s Dream "Again, Kingsley Dennis demonstrates that he is one of very few thinkers who seem to understand the scope and subtlety of the immense transition that humanity is experiencing..." John L. Petersen, founder of the Arlington Institute   The Sacred Revival: Magic, Mind & Meaning in a Technological Age by Kingsley L. Dennis (SelectBooks, 2017) "Once in a while, if all too seldom, a book comes along that joins our deepest intuitions with our highest ideals. Kingsley Dennis’ The Sacred Revival is such a book. It supports, and clothes in realistic terms, the most important transformation ever in human history: the transformation from a materialist to a post-materialist, consciousness-based cultural paradigm. Essential reading for all who are part of the current global awakening and wish to promote it with heart and soul - and with a new consciousness!" Ervin Laszlo, author of Science and the Akashic Field, founder of The Club of Budapest, and twice nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize "The Sacred Revival is audacious. Yet Kingsley Dennis meets his own remarkable challenge in conjuring a coherent vision out of the seemingly chaotic mishmash of ideas and trends that beget mass confusion.  The result is both erudite and magical." James O’Dea author of Cultivating Peace, former president of the Institute of Noetic Sciences, and former director of the Washington, D.C., office of Amnesty International.   The Phoenix Generation: A New Era of Connection, Compassion, and Consciousness by Kingsley L. Dennis (Watkins Books, 2014) “A new phase in human history is in the making, one that is as inevitable as tomorrow’s sunrise. Kingsley Dennis sees this new dawn clearly.   The Phoenix Generation is a blueprint for tomorrow -- a vision of renewed meaning, hope and optimism.” Larry Dossey, MD   Dawn of the Akashic Age by Kingsley L. Dennis with Ervin Laszlo (Inner Traditions, 2013) “In this remarkable book Laszlo and Dennis have done nothing less than draw the blueprint for a planetary society. The Akashic Age is the logical successor to both the Industrial Revolution and the Information Era, because it is based on a paradigm of connectedness not separation, of sustainability not exploitation, and of transformation not inertia. It serves as a healthy antidote to the doom and gloom found in most other books about humankind’s future and warns that a positive transition and a better world will require deliberate effort, conscious deliberation, and hard work. Given the alternatives, readers of Dawn of the Akashic Age may decide that the required love and labor will be worth it.” Stanley Krippner, Ph.D., professor of psychology at Saybrook University and co-author of The Voice of Rolling Thunder and Healing States
