Digest
Considering the evolution of faith in society, what comes next? Why are our belief
systems in the way of unity and variety? These are questions that From Faith To Fate
addresses. At the heart of its proposition is the ‘choreographic cosmology’, a novel
understanding of physical and social reality shaped by invisible choreographies that
emerge in response to local inequalities. We are, in fact, into a new cycle of awakening
about ‘the true nature of things’. The world that we imagine arises from choreographies
interacting. What does it mean for us to participate in a choreography-driven simulation
that is run by the process of nature? Applied in human resources and corporate strategy,
how does this cosmology help us improve our chances and morals in a crumbling world?
What is the ERA society and what will it do for you? A book for nonbelievers,
doubters, critical thinkers, both students and professionals.

‘The dauntless spirituality of our choreographic origin is in the
incredible oneness and harmony of things and thoughts.’
Q&A
What is this book about?
This book introduces the choreographic cosmology, a new understanding of
the universe and how we relate to it.
Why is this so important?
It helps us improve our chances of survival by a new insight into our
world’s current and imminent success factors and our role in it.
What is at the heart of the choreographic cosmology?
It shows how our world of things and thoughts is shaped by patterns of
behavior or ‘choreographies’ that rise and decline in similar seasons.
!9
From Faith To Fate
How does it differ from our current understanding of the universe?
The choreographic cosmology unifies our most diverse world of things
and thoughts by focusing on their common process of emergence.
Why is the choreographic cosmology needed just now?
Our world is crumbling now that we have exhausted the potential of
established premises behind religion, government, and science.
What will the reader take away from reading this book?
Readers will learn why the choreographic cosmology emerged just now,
why it is needed, what it entails, and how they will benefit from it.
Does this book offer a follow up?
By plotting a new society, the ERA society, this book carves out the road
that leads to improved chances of human survival.
CHAPTERS
Chapter 1 - EXTINCTION
Whereas the prospect of a sixth mass extinction has widely been accepted, we’ll face another one
first: a mass extinction of belief systems.
What are mass extinctions? What signals the next, much-discussed sixth mass
extinction? Dinosaurs roamed our world for 120 million years, while human
society emerged in just one-hundredth of a percent of that time. Why worry, in
other words? The impact of humans is not so much in their biological evolution
but in the evolution of their ideas which is many times faster. A paradigm shift, a
disruption of what is viewed as normal, typically follows when enough anomalies
!10
From Faith To Fate
accumulate. An assessment of anomalies suggests that we are on the brink of a
disruption affecting the belief systems behind government, religion, and science.
Chapter 2 - SEED OF FAITH
How faith evolved and served society. The conditions on which a new principle will replace our
current societal logic and its one remaining god.
Faith means to act without proof. As such, it is not a prerogative of humans.
Long before humans emerged, bacteria were forced into it. How did faith help
people decide what to do to and what not to do? The rise of human society from
prehistoric times to this day lies on a tiring path that meanders between debt and
debt redemption, repayment and coercion, truth and interpretation. How did
gods serve leaders and how did they help common man? What caused the
influence of the divine to decline? A deity woven into the fabric of human society,
a new era without it is about to unfold even so.
Chapter 3 - NATURE OF REALITY
We should not search for reality in what we perceive but in what makes us perceive. A new view
of reality and the universal principle that explains it beg to reevaluate our world imagined.
The incredible detail with which scientists describe our world prevents us from
seeing the whole. Another view is needed to regain our sense of reality. What is
keeping us from grasping it? A failure to explain how the shape of reality emerges
reveals the problem. No matter whether it concerns thing or thought, dance is at
the heart of it. What triggers and sustains it? The role of the division of labor
and how a division of inequality balances it. Why reality means memory. What
does debt and debt redemption have to do with this? Why this all resembles the
ideas of the Egyptian king Akhenaton, the unwilling inventor of monotheism.
How this new view of reality will affect us in practice.

From Faith To Fate
Chapter 4 - REALITY OF NATURE
The origin of reality, the choreographic cycle, and how it replaces deity. Why it is our role to
spread our newfound understanding.
How the entanglement of dance patterns fosters the incredible complexity of
our world. About seasons of reality emergence and how these show our path
from dust to dust. About dark and luminous reality and how this relates to the
Dao, the undifferentiated whole. How recent ideas in the world of physics fit in.
Parallels between thing and thought. One universal principle at first and now a
universal logic. A never-ending repetition of cycles; cycles of ‘unmoved’ seasons.
Why duration means creation. Why a societal schism might ensue.

Chapter 5 - DIAMOND OF FATE
The cycle of nature and its seasons provide the insight that will help us improve our chances of
survival. Why we can safely step away from the center of our universe.
The cycle of nature, as the broadest of all contexts, is missing from our
moments of realization and awe. Why is reality a sociological phenomenon?
What tells us where we stand as society and how do we fine-tune its conditions?
Inside the axes of entanglement and complexity, a diamond-shaped diagram
shows our present, past, and future. Five pivotal dimensions help us gauge and
calibrate the conditions in our world. How this diamond can be used to explain
where we stand and how it helps us improve our effectiveness. What human
dignity will mean in future. The ‘diamond of fate’ as nucleus of a new awareness.

Chapter 6 - CHOREOGRAPHIC MORALITY
What our origin teaches us about right and wrong. The moral map that helps us steer our world
and keep our sanity.
!12
From Faith To Fate
Our universe is shaped by a ballet, involving billions of galaxies. While the
diamond of fate depicts our norms, where do we find its moral playground? How
the moral playground shows societal excesses. How we will find in there ‘man-as-
he-happens-to-be’ and ‘man-as-he-could-be’. How our origin inspires moral
principles that are bound to replace the Abrahamic commandments. Why these
principles are principles rather than boundaries. What should we do that does not
violate the true nature of reality when people do wrong?
Chapter 7 - ERA OF ERA
A society of Emerging Reality Adopters or ERA, which task it is to instill faith in humans being
capable of acting rationally and morally without divine guidance.
The choreographic idea is slowly entering the vocabulary of journalists. It is
not just an idea but a new philosophy with the practical means to follow it up.
What the ERA society involves and how it is emerging as new home of comfort in
the face of suffering. What ERA thinking is about. Why ERA living preserves
established practices by putting them in an ERA context? Why a world without a
deity can be more spiritual than ever. We are into a new cycle of awakening
about ‘the true nature of things’.
FROM ATENISM TO CHOREOGRAPHIC COSMOLOGY
From early on in the text of From Faith To Fate, the name of the ancient Egyptian
king, Akhenaten, regularly appears particularly when findings are evaluated in the
light of history. Who was this king and why does he appear in this text?
The tenth pharaoh of the eighteenth dynasty, Akhenaten assumed the throne
some 3,369 years ago as king Amenhotep IV.1 Under his father, Amenhotep III,
the Egyptian civilization had entered its wealthiest and most influential period, its
territory stretching into Canaan and Syria. The Egyptian society, at the time, was
