Jon Lake, a crippled Vietnam War veteran living in New York in 1976, is pushed into a spiritual awakening when he suddenly discovers a world of the future. When he falls asleep in 1976, his astral body travels forward in time to the year 2150 A.D., where he meets his twin soul, Lea. Of course, from a broader perspective—and the Macro philosophy that Jon is introduced to—all timelines and lives are occurring simultaneously. Jon is awestruck by how beautiful the new Earth is and how harmoniously the members of the Macro society live with the world around them.

Enamored by Lea and her radiant essence, Jon follows her to a Life Continuity Lab in the center of their Delta, where the Macro members live communally. There, his astral body is time-translated into his new, fully healthy and functioning 2150 body so that he may live peacefully with his twin soul among the Macro society—only with one catch: if Jon does not obtain Level 3 Macro awareness within three months, the psychic powers of his twin soul will not be strong enough to keep him there permanently, and he must return to his 1976 crippled body to live out the rest of his current incarnation.

Determined to grow rapidly and complete the permanent time-translation, Jon gets to work learning everything he possibly can about the Macro society—their philosophy, culture, and how they came to be through the perishing of what they call Micro Man (humans of the 20th century). He is introduced to the Macro tool of C.I. (Central Information), a quantum artificial intelligence computer containing information on any subject one desires to learn.

When Jon falls asleep in 2150, he is translated back to his 1976 crippled body and life, where he lives in a one-bedroom New York flat with his lifelong best friend and stepbrother, Karl. Jon is eager to bring Karl into his “dream world.” He challenges everything they have ever learned about human development with his new Macro philosophy of 2150. Karl is skeptical of Jon’s reality and plays the devil’s advocate to Jon’s 2150 experience. He fears Jon may be having some sort of psychotic delusion, as they are both currently pursuing their doctorate degrees in social psychology.

Back in 2150, Jon is introduced to Carol, his Alpha mate, who he will share a room with until he has evolved enough to be with his twin soul, Lea, who is a Level 9 (out of 10). He learns that they are not possessive over one another, and Lea happily encourages Jon to share his love with Carol because she knows it will be the quickest way for Jon to let go of his micro-conditioning and evolve into a higher being. Carol becomes Jon’s closest companion and lover during his time in 2150. She introduces him to everything in their world, including their Personal Evolution Tutor, Rana (a Level 10). Through personal evolution training, everything Jon knows about man is upended.

Jon plays this game of back-and-forth between the two worlds, further deepening his belief in the reality of 2150—and that anything is possible, even developing Macro powers and demonstrating them to Karl in 1976. This is the test required for Karl’s acceptance of Jon’s reality. Eventually, Jon does develop Macro powers and is able to demonstrate psychokinesis to Karl, but he still has not reached the level of awareness necessary to responsibly handle these powers. Inevitably, Jon misuses his abilities for what he thinks is good, submitting to his micro-beliefs and using his own micro-violence to stop a violent attack. He is subsequently banned from returning to 2150 until he balances the negative vibrations he has created within his essential self.

Through trial and error—and by accepting the unacceptable—Jon evolves to Level Two awareness, balancing his negative vibrations and allowing him to return to the Macro society. But the clock is ticking. He has only a matter of weeks before the time-translation becomes unsustainable, and he loses his chance to live the rest of his incarnation in 2150. The quickest way to evolve to Level Three is to test his micro-habits on Micro Island, where three million people still live lives of competition and greed, separate from the Macro society.

Jon journeys to Micro Island with Carol, who is determined to help him grow. There, they are greeted by the royalty of Micro Island—Elgon and Sela—ex-members of the Macro society who now exert force and power to rule over the lives of those beneath them. They are eager to persuade Jon to leave the Macro society and join them, enticing him with a lavish lifestyle and promises of power. When Jon refuses their offer, they capture Carol and hold her prisoner, giving Jon an ultimatum: either acquiesce to their demands or watch Carol die a brutal death.

Searching his soul for any way to save Carol without giving in to his micro-conditioning becomes Jon’s greatest test of awareness yet. To view the situation with a Macro perspective means full acceptance of the unacceptable: that all that is, all that was, and all that will be is perfectly balanced for its time and place.

Jon lets go of his desires to change the current situation, coming to a greater understanding—that neither he nor Carol can experience anything they weren’t meant to. In other words, nothing they did not already agree to in their soul contract before entering this incarnation. He permits Carol to learn the lessons she came to Earth to learn, and allows himself to do the same. He doesn’t comply with Elgon and Sela’s commands and instead passes his final test of awareness—by allowing both himself and Carol to be sacrificed.
