This is a story of an advanced extraterrestrial being who comes to Earth in search of his uncle. With his departure delayed by an unexpected turn of events, he enjoys the hospitality of an ordinary Human family. He reveals details of his world to them and suggests changes that could be made to bring about this kind of society here on Earth.

It presents some provocative ideas, including:

• Using Occam’s razor to discern between competing spiritual beliefs.
• Using wishful thinking to fill the gaps in one’s world view.
• An economic model that does not require the use of currency or earning a living.
• An approach to upbringing that absolves parents of the responsibility for the raising of their children.
• An approach to education whose primary goal is spiritual advancement rather than academic competence.

The book pays homage to the tireless efforts of extraterrestrial civilisations that have made Human upliftment their goal. It portrays humanity as an unconscious member of a universal community of sentient beings, the community that is doing everything it can to activate our membership while respecting our right of self-determination.
