2150 AD: A venture into the world of the future that can change your world now is a novel by Thea Alexander that was published in 1976. The story concerns the character of Jon, who travels between his world of 1976 and the future world of 2150, where the Macro Society dominates the Earth. The world of 1976 is referred to by the inhabitants of 2150 as the pinnacle of micro society.

This book is based on the journal of Jon Lake, who lived in the 1960s and '70s as a psychiatrist. Because of his life experiences and accepting world view, his soul was considered evolved, or Macro, enough to travel to 2150 where his twin soul, Lea Nine, and soul mate, Carol Three lived. His astral form travelled to 2150 and he lived there while his 1970s body slept, and returned to the '70s during his waking hours.

The book is centered around Macro Philosophy and concepts such as reincarnation, karma, twin souls and soul mates, as well as macro and micro limitations. Thea Alexander started a workshop for studying Macro Philosophy shortly before the book was published; this information is on the back cover of the book.

Plot summary

The story starts with Jon having an astral dream. He dreams he is naked -- and whole. He had lost one leg in the Vietnam War, and used a prosthesis ever since. He runs, and eventually encounters a beautiful woman, Lea.

Lea explains that she is Jon's twin soul, and that his soul has been brought forward to the year 2150 as an experiment by the Macro Society in that era. She takes him to a group of buildings around a lake, and connects his soul to a new, whole, adult body based on his body in 1976 that the members of the Macro Society had produced for him to inhabit while his soul was in 2150. He is given a chance to meet a group of people who will act as his family in 2150. He is also introduced to a computer system that exists to help people increase their awareness by answering questions and showing personal information, such as their past lives.

One goal of the experiment is to raise Jon's awareness to a level where he will be able to stay in 2150, permanently. There are ten levels of Macro awareness, and Jon will have to reach level 3 before he is advanced enough for the Macro society to accept him staying in 2150. When this happens, his 1976 body will die, or evolate. As Jon learns about the world of 2150, he falls asleep.

Jon wakes up in 1976, and dismisses the 2150 world as a dream, though it seemed very real. His best friend and room mate, Karl, thinks Jon is having an escapist fantasy when he's dreaming. He worries about Jon, but they arrange a bet: if possible, Jon will attempt to learn some of the Macro Powers practiced by the people in 2150, and demonstrate them in 1976.

Over the next days, Jon is able to attain Macro Contact with a partner in his group; this has unlocked some of his Macro powers. He convinces Karl of their reality when he levitates his dream journal around their apartment. Jon discovers that he can see auras as well.

Jon decides to use the powers he learns in 2150 to improve the world in 1976. He selects a woman he finds in the student union, Neda. He uses his powers to persuade her mother to let her move into an apartment in his building, and then he uses his ability to see auras (as well as the pressure points to stimulate change in the phenotype as well as regeneration) to change her appearance to match the personality he sees within her. Karl and Neda eventually fall in love and get married.

Later, in 1976, Jon interrupts a couple of motorcycle thugs who intend to rape a teenage girl. Using his powers, Jon attacks them, stops them, and helps the girl to leave. Then Jon heals the thugs and takes them back to his apartment building, where he places them in an empty apartment. He uses a post-hypnotic suggestion to prevent them from leaving. The result of all this is that he is unable to make it to 2150 that night, because he was selfish in the use of his powers. He must resolve this problem before he can return to 2150.

Working with Neda, Jon instructs the motorcycle thugs in Macro philosophy, and eventually releases them when they have changed. This results in Jon returning to 2150, awakening with a level 2 awareness level.

He and his partner in 2150 decide to go to Micro Island, a location where souls desiring a micro life in 2150 can be born to experience it. People from the Macro society often go to Micro Island as tutors of Macro philosophy.

Jon and his partner are welcomed by the leaders of Micro Island, two former Macro society members who regressed from their awareness levels and decided to use their powers for control and their own self-interest. During this time, Jon learns that in a past life he helped stone someone to death, and he must face his Karmic debt by allowing the Micro-islanders to stone him.

Back in 1976, Jon realizes that he has learned all he can in this lifetime, so he chooses to evolate and dies in his sleep.
