Do you believe that we have discovered the key to immortality, poverty, equality, disease, happiness, economic stability, and climate change? If yes, then you may also believe that humanity's success is due to human evolution and a global transition called ‘the era of Homo Deus’ (the era of the ‘man god’). If your answer is no, then you are probably among those that are confused by the state of the world and the conflicting messages in the pulpit. The Hidden Tree is an examination of this and other philosophies that are the fuel of the largest global transition since the industrial revolution. Using the metaphor of a tree we explore the historical, out-of-sight root system and its evolutionary origin while looking forward to its purpose and goal through the use of God technology, dark intel and the tools of self-determination (humanism). Are we the result of an evolutionary process, or have we been duped into believing the technological revolution and other global transitions have successfully moved us towards a better future?
