Many cycles predicting the "end of times" fill our modern dialog from the coming of the Millennium to 2012. Robin Robertson helps to clarify these prophesies and offers insight into the central issues of our challenges and their life-changing implications.

For eighteen hundred years, the prophecies in the Book of Revelation have captured the collective Western imagination. Saint John's rich imagery and the dramatic urgency of the looming disasters he predicts have both fascinated and frightened us with the apparent message that the end of time is near. Robin Robertson deciphers the mystical theology and visions of the prophets, seers, and shamans. His analysis incorporates the insights of modern mathematics and Chaos Theory, as well as his personal insights gained through his work as a Jungian therapist and teacher. Robertson holds a mirror to humanity's need to know Self and God. He explains that Saint John's vision foretells the massive change in consciousness that is happening in our time.

At the End of Time contains the 22 chapters from and reinterprets the message of The Book of Revelation in terms of the changes in human consciousness and its ability to adapt the symbolic language of our personal and collective unconscious. The author helps us to comprehend the meaning of such psychic intuitive understandings.

Robertson helps the reader face the deeper parts of his or her self--those parts that fear transformation, change, and death. Yet these are the very keys to experiencing a new dimension of ourselves and may be encouraged and utilized in a positive manner.

This is an important book in the strongest sense of the word. That being said, it strikes me as somewhat sad that there's not a "Required Reading" list for all people. There are many books I'd put on that list - this one near the top, particularly for those locked in dogmatic points of view.
Robertson has put his considerable knowledge and talent to work on the question of the real meaning of the last book of the Christian Bible, The Revelation Of John. His observations, explanations and conclusions ring as Truth to this student/teacher.
The book explores the Revelation as the blueprint for the continuing spiritual evolvement of humanity not as a physical manifestation, but as the ultimate reconciliation of the 'separation' of God and (Wo)Man. Throughout the book, he shows how Jung and others have wrestled with the questions of symbology, archetypes and spiritual evolution, using illustrations from many spiritual traditions of history. The symbols that were used throughout history in the Egyptian, Roman, Greek, Hebrew and other myths and prophesies (including even the Hopi) are viewed not as separate, but a continuing stream of communication from the unconscious or spirit realm to the physical. The congruity of the message is impossible to ignore.
You'll find a strong call to cultivate practices that allow the development of psychic/spiritual muscle, the ability to reach beyond your self-imposed boundaries of 'identity'. This happens not so much from Robertson's exhortation to take up such practices, but from the understanding you gain of the importance of doing so while digesting the content of this book. The explanations of the elemental importance of symbols and of the Revelation as a conciliatory process that humanity has been and is continuing to experience since the creation will have you wanting to explore more deeply on your own or with a good teacher. I will go back to this book again and again...
