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)

“…his character's evolving consciousness in sequential lifetimes suggests a karmic series of actions and consequences…compatible with the most robust cases evaluated by the Reincarnation Experiment.” (Paul Von Ward, author of The Soul Genome: Science and Reincarnation.) “You have not only given us a good and instructive narrative, but a collection of keen insights into the dynamics of reincarnation. All the best, Paul" 5/30/09 Review of Hunt Henion, THE DON Q POINT OF VIEW, Eureka (Massachusetts): SHIFT AWARENESS BOOKS, 2008, 132 pp., 1SBN: 978-0-9822054-19, www.shiftAwareness.com by Christopher Rollason, Ph.D, Metz, France – rollason@9online, <a href="http://www.geocities.com/christopherrollason">www.geocities.com/christopherrollason</a> Don Quixote, Miguel de Cervantes’ world-famous novel, has offered generations of entranced readers a world where the boundaries between imagination and reality are porous, ever-changing, and repeatedly crossed. In the ninth chapter of Part I, Cervantes himself claims the book is ‘really’ a translation from an author writing in Arabic, Cide Hamete Benengeli; in the third chapter of Part II, the Don and Sancho are told about a book that is none other than the first part of Cervantes’ novel featuring themselves. Readers have been similarly imaginative. In the American literary tradition, Washington Irving tells of a Spanish countryman who solemnly believes Sancho and the Don to be real people; in Mark Twain’s Huckleberry Finn, Tom Sawyer spins yarns of elephants and diamonds and tells a sceptical Huck: “if I wasn’t so ignorant, but had read a book called “Don Quixote”, I would know without asking”. Now, more than four centuries on, Hunt Henion’s The Don Q Point of View comes as the latest in a long line of tributes. It might be thought difficult to say anything new about the Don, but in these pages we have a reliving of the Man of la Mancha’s life and hard times that is startling in its originality. The book’s narrating “I” tells the reader that he who writes actually was, in a past life, a Don Quixote who in real truth existed. The reader who agrees to suspend disbelief, or to believe all the way, is rewarded with a remarkable journey. Hunt Henion retraces his steps as the Don, riding side by side with Sancho across the La Mancha plain: and tells how the book Miguel de Cervantes wrote combined fact with fiction, mixing true recollections of Don Quixote’s life with his own elaborations and inventions. G.K. Chesterton saw Cervantes’ Don as no better than a “lean and foolish knight’”. Hunt Henion’s Quixote is at the antipodes of any such travesty. He is lean, but he is not foolish. He is one whose vision aspires beyond the surface of things and makes of the world a constant battlefield between good and evil. Despite defeats and disappointments, the paladin of the good never says die, and goes on believing till his last breath in “the impossible dream”. The Don whom Hunt Henion brings to life is the heroic Quixote, the one who on a dusty road frees the chained prisoners bound for the galleys, the one who declares “I am who I am” and refuses to be another. Our narrator relives a life in which he, as Don Quixote, challenged the rigidities and cruelties of Spain in the Inquisition era, never faltering in his vision of a kinder and juster world. In the epoch of Barack Obama, this re-created Quixote is one who stands up against the giants and enchanters of oppression, and shouts long and loud, for all the world to hear, “YES, WE CAN!” “ In addition to inspiring views, Henion shares stories behind the stories. … his style of pinpointing motivations and actions made for even more interesting reading. --Michelle A. Payton, Ph.D., Author of “Birth Mix Patterns,” “Healing What’s Real,” and“Soul”utions.” Fascinating tale of the true Don Quixote Don Q is a remarkable memoir of a different sort. Based upon Hunt Henion’s personal memories and intuitive readings, he is able to share with us the wisdom of Don Quixote, also known as Cervante’s Man of La Mancha, because he was Quixote in a previous life. Henion brings us up to speed as to why Quixote was so obsessed with his dreams by showing how the soul learns and grows by successive incarnations. He illustrates this by writing about several previous lifetimes from 3000 BC in ancient Canaan, to being a student of Pythagoras and Socrates and Dante's grandfather. These lifetimes of pain and struggle, as well as learning of a myriad of subjects, set the stage for Quixote’s incarnation. Lessons not learned and karma all come into play as Henion gives voice to the real Don Q. The Don Q. Point of View is one of chivalry, seeing the beauty in all things, and begs us to question our own perceptions of reality. More than that, Henion explains and explores the concept of reincarnation in a very tangible, logical manner. This book is a great asset to anyone who enjoys the great classics, as well as spiritual seekers alike. Laura Faieth – author of the rock roll reincarnation book: “I Found all My Pieces”
