'This is a cracking book on a cracking subject by a cracking author.' - Magonia Review of Books 'This is one of the most stimulating and significant books on the subject in years. The Caretakers of the Cosmos is an essential work for all who are curious about what makes us uniquely human, and about how we can all participate, each in our own way, in the creation of a fuller and more satisfying world.' - Parabola Magazine '[Lachman's] views are set out lucidly, engagingly, tentatively and accompanied by a cloud of illustrious witnesses from the Hermetic tradition and the the Kabbalah, to Blake and Goethe through to Berdyaev and Cassirer.' - Nicholas Colloff, Golgonooza blog 'I found Lachman's user friendly treatment refreshing... Lachman's depth of reading and research are admirable, and he weaves the story well, developing what is becoming increasingly obvious - that all of human history reflects the evolution of consciousness.' - Scientific and Medical Network Review 'This is a book not short of accessibility, guts and wry, dry humour... Caretakers of the Cosmos is about our relationship to each other, the planet and the Universe... It's about consciousness, quantum physics, intention and engagement. In other words about the acceptance of a distinct role and a conscious commitment to it.' - Magonia Review of Books 'Gary Lachman offers the reader a fascinating insight into esoteric and spiritual traditions... A noble and ambitious perspective.' - Griet Hellinckx, Erziehungskunst, 'This is a cracking book on a cracking subject by a cracking author.'- Magonia Review of Books'This is one of the most stimulating and significant books on the subject in years.

Caretakers of the Cosmos is about our relationship to each other, the planet and the Universe - which superficially might sound rather New Age.

In other words about the acceptance of a distinct role and a conscious commitment to it. If it all sounds like hard work, this might be the moment to remember that this relationship is about joy. But most - and to some of us, best - of all, is this book's insistence on the 'fallacy of [human] insignificance'.
