Description

“We are not human beings having a spiritual experience; we are spiritual beings having a human experience.”(Teilhard de Chardin)Involution-An Odyssey Reconciling Science to God is as layered as a French cassoulet, as diverting, satisfying and as rich. Each reader will spoon this book differently. On the surface it seems to be a simple and light-hearted poetic journey through the history of Western thought, dominantly scientific, but enriched with painting and music. Beneath that surface is the sauce of a new evolutionary idea, involution; the informing of all matter by consciousness, encoded and communicating throughout the natural world. A book about the cathedral of consciousness could have used any language to paint it, but science is perhaps most in need of new vision, and its chronology is already familiar.The author offers a bold alternative vision of both science and creation: she suggests that science has been incrementally the recovery of memory, the memory of evolution/involution.“ Involution proposes that humans carry within them the history of the universe, which is (re)discovered by the individual genius when the time is ripe. All is stored within our DNA and awaits revelation. Such piecemeal revelations set our finite lives in an eternal chain of co-creation and these new leaps of discovery are compared to mystical experience” (From a reviewer)Each unique contributor served the collective and universal return to holism and unity. Thus the geniuses of the scientific journey, like the spiritual visionaries alongside, have threaded the rosary of science with the beads of inspiration, and through them returned Man to his spiritual nature and origin.The separation between experience and the rational intellect of science has, by modelling memory as theory, separated its understanding from the consciousness of all, and perceives mind and matter as separate, God and Man as distinct. This work is a dance towards their re-unification: Saints and scientists break the same bread.All of time and all the disciplines of science are needed for the evidence. Through swift (and sometimes sparring) Cantos of dialogue between Reason and Soul, Philippa Rees takes the reader on a monumental journey through the history of everything – with the evolution of man as one side of the coin and involution the other. The poetic narrative is augmented by learned and extensive footnotes offering background knowledge which in themselves are fascinating. In effect there are two books, offering a right and left brain approach. The twin spirals of a DNA shaped book intertwine external and internal and find, between them, one journey, Man’s recovery of Himself., and (hopefully) the Creation’s recovery of a nobler Man.From the same review “The reader who finishes the book will not be the same as the one who began it. New ideas will expand the mind but more profoundly, the deep, moving power of the verse will affect the heart.(Marianne Rankin: Director of Communications, Alister Hardy Trust)

Reviews

“This is the second book I’ve read by Dianna T. Benson, and once again she doesn’t disappoint. Well-drawn characters, plenty of action, and a fast-paced story kept me turning the pages late into the night.  Persephone’s Fugitive is a solid second book in Benson’s Cayman Island’s Trilogy and left me wondering how much more trouble her characters will find themselves involved in once the third book in the series is finished. Grab your favorite drink, sit back in a comfortable chair, and prepare to be entertained .” Michael J. Webb, Author of The Master’s Quilt, The Oldest Enemy and Infernal Gates “Dianna T. Benson’s Persephone’s Fugitive is an interesting, tense-filled story about a desperate man who takes a hostage. Ms. Benson does a good job getting inside the heads of the multi-dimensional characters. Enjoyed!” Margaret Daley, USA Today Bestselling Author “With Persephone’s Fugitive, Dianna T. Benson writes a stunningly suspenseful high-seas adventure with pulse-pounding action inspired by her medical roots. If you love thrillers then you must read all of Dianna’s novels.” Jordyn Redwood, author of the Bloodline Trilogy “Prepare to embark on a fast-paced adventure with the characters in Persephone’s Fugitive, the second book in Dianna Benson’s Cayman Islands Trilogy. Once again, Benson has crafted a twist-filled story guaranteed to keep readers on the edge of their seats.” Heidi Glick, author of Dog Tags
