Description

<p>“<em>We are not human beings having a spiritual experience; we are spiritual beings having a human experience.”(</em>Teilhard de Chardin<em>)</em></p><p><span style="line-height:1.6em;"><em>Involution-An Odyssey Reconciling Science to God </em> 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.</span></p><p><span style="line-height:1.6em;">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</span><em style="line-height:1.6em;">.</em></p><p>“<em> 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</em>” (From a reviewer)</p><p>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.</p><p><span style="line-height:1.6em;">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.</span></p><p><span style="line-height:1.6em;">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.</span></p><p><span style="line-height:1.6em;">From the same review “</span><em style="line-height:1.6em;">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.</em></p><p><em>(Marianne Rankin: Director of Communications, Alister Hardy Trust)</em></p><p> </p>

Story Behind The Book

I always had a terrible time with math in school and I wish I'd had someone like Scott to help me! I developed these characters roughly 3 years ago. They are the perfect &quot;odd couple&quot; opposites.

Jared was the school baseball superstar who needed a tutor. Fate brought together, love made they stay together.</p></div> <div class="entry"> <p><strong>BOOK REVIEW:</strong><br />Scott Williams is sitting in his last class for the day, Advanced Algebra, and can’t wait for it to end. The teacher Mrs. O’Reilly is your typical strict teacher. Scott quickly realizes that he isn’t the only one who can’t wait for it to be over. Jared Adamson is the star of the baseball team, the most popular guy in the school, and Scott’s dream guy. Scott has watched Jared for months, but he never thought that a popular guy like Jared would ever have anything to do with him, a no account geek. </p> <p>Things are about to change when Mrs. O’Reilly tell Jared if he wants to play baseball he has to get his grades up and she chooses Scott to be his tutor. Jared has always noticed Scott even though Scott doesn’t realize it. They start working together and find a lot of common interests and become more infatuated with each other. Scott quickly begins to understand that there is something terribly wrong with Jared’s family, but Jared is scared to open up to Scott. What is wrong with Jared and will Scott find a way to help his friend and maybe find the love that he has been looking for? </p> <p>Ms. Danielson has taken current political issues and created a story that epitomizes what is good and bad in our society while emphasizing that in the end love can conquer all. Scott on the surface is a brainy nerd, but underneath he has a heart of gold. Jared seems to have the world on a string, but looks can be deceiving. Together Jared and Scott may find friendship and so much more if they are willing to fight for what they want, as long as they remember that in the end love means everything. Thanks go to Ms. Danielson for a wonderful and heart-warming story.</p></div></div></div></div>
