Planetary Commonwealth by Alex Jack

What might a healthy, peaceful world look like in the second half of the 21st century—and how could such a world come into being?

Planetary Commonwealth offers a bold and imaginative answer. Set against the backdrop of global crisis and renewal, the book envisions a planetary transformation grounded in organic and regenerative agriculture, a macrobiotic way of eating, Earth-centered medicine, the revival of indigenous technologies, the transmutation of elements, and the long-awaited return of the feminine principle to public and spiritual life.

The transition is neither smooth nor guaranteed. Rising seas trigger massive coastal flooding; an AI-engineered virus threatens human survival; and a nuclear confrontation in the South China Sea brings civilization to the brink of collapse.

Historic milestones mark the turning of the age: the Black Earth Accords that end the Russian-Ukrainian War; the emergence of the first female Pope and Dalai Lama; the transformation of the Pentagon into a Department of Peace; and the dismantling of digital monopolies and pharmaceutical empires.

The journey culminates in the luminous unveiling of a new Planetary Calendar and a global auxiliary language, Soluna, in the year once known as 2101—signaling not an end, but the beginning of a new chapter in human and planetary history.

Alex Jack is a macrobiotic teacher, counselor, and president of Planetary Health. He is the author of many books, including Spiral of History, The Circle of the Dance, and Chi, the Antelope King’s Epic Journey Home.

“Planetary Commonwealth presents a framework of living as it can be by the end of the 21^st century: A world united in cooperation, rather than competition, health over corporate greed, respect amid natural diversity.

We are dared to dream of a global practice of preventive, holistic medicine using macrobiotic principles. We learn startling possibilities of international justice, technology, economics, science, transportation, art, and spiritual practices.”
