''The Valley of Roses"

Is anybody here familiar with that book...?Personally, I have only read an abstract of it, and basically it goes like that;
A German individual back in the thirties, falls in coma for a year and somehow his consiousness is transferred to that of an individual around 3900 A.D.The decription of our planet's condition at that time bears a close resemblance with that as it is described in the UB as "Light and Life".People love each other, work for only two years, there are only a few laws, sex is not anymore made for pleasure, there is no money, there is only one language, people can go everywhere they want freely (it talks about a huge road connecting Europe with Asia from the Atlantic to the Pacific ocean), the arts are trully flourishing (the writer mentions a composer named "Valmantel" or something like that, who will compose a work named "Oratorio between the golden spheres of the stars" and which will be so beautiful that will leave anyone who will hear it in ecstasy).
Furthermore, he mentions that around the 3rd or the 4th millenium (I don't remember the exact year), the human species will evolve into "Homo occidentalis Novus" and radical cerebral alterations will take place.The individual, the first human being in Urantia that will evolve, will be someone called Alex Volky and this evolution will be synchronous with the acquirement of "HyperVision" (I think it has to do with the ability of seing the Divine, not God, but I think it is analogous with the morontia vision...).He also makes mention of huge natural disasters which will take place around 2200-2400 (again I can't remember the exact period of time) and which will sign the beginning of a new era, where people have realised that they must protect nature and will do so from that time.
It talks about many more things.Some of them are the fact that they will be flying houses, cars, buses etc. etc., that the capital of the planet will be a beautiful city in the Mediterannean which will be called "The Valley of Roses" and its residents will be enlighted individuals with great knowledge and wisdom, that a botanologist will succeed to create a new type of rose with a fantastic colour, after 80 years of experiments and faithful prayer to Michael, that they will be two times in the history where the calendar will start from 0 again, that we will make colonies to Mars at 2050 (if I remember well), but that will be destroyed and 50.000.000 will die etc. etc.
Well, these are some of the things the abstract of the book talks about.I read it many years before reading the UB and the fact that it presents such a fantastic picture of Urantia that matches with the "Light and Life" title is something which make it to be quite true...Anyway, what do you all think?
Much love,
Alexander
