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

Comment by David Brett, author of ‘All These Are Memories Of My Voyage’: Another book by Tim Roux. How many is he writing all at once? As before, intense sense of the fun involved in telling a story. A louche, idealistic angel. Good on marketing, too. I believe every smooth word of this book. It is not fiction; the Labour party meeting was incredibly funny. I wish I could think these up! Comment from T.L. Tyson, author of ‘Seeking Eleanor’: I do love your writing. This is a number of great things rolled into one; different and fun. I loved your style. It was interesting and chalked full of wit and wry. Really enjoyable. Comment from Andrea Levin, author of ‘Last Days of the Transitional Objects Institute’: First off: wonderful title. And: wonderful voice - brash, sharp, tired-of-being-the-cleverest-fellow-in-the-room, informative, utterly obnoxious, self disparaging and - clearly - ripe for a life-changing event. Comment from L. Anne Carrington, author of ‘The Cruiserweight’: Amazing premise. This is a fun way to learn about something as usually humdrum as marketing. Humor, biting sarcasm, impressive story and characters. Comment from S.D. Gillen, author of ‘Eve’s Tear’: This was a very interesting read. I learned a lot about marketing (in a fun way). I also liked the voice in this story. I like the humorous sarcasm. Great stuff! I enjoyed this immensely and you write very well. Comment from D.A. Seaby, author of ‘BADD’: Being one of those sad people who realise they would probably not succeed in the task of selling £10 notes for a fiver, I was enormously impressed by this. I am seeing into a mind that is clearly a master of the art of persuasion. I also loved the twist at the end. Comment from Katherine L. Holmes, author of ‘The Swan Bonnet’: This is brilliant in that the narrator presents some very intense strategy and office scenarios and can be fascinating. The vodka campaign, Adam's insurance background, the numbers, the ladettes and the people he works with were convincing and very informative for me - even if I did get a little lost with it at times. That you could make the particulars entertaining along with the challenge of the vodka issue says a lot for your style and your portrayal of characters. The sections with Yasemin and Adam's mother are a delightful respite - good dialogue! I enjoyed this insider's view of the ads that affect us and the finely honed style and wit. Comment from Tony Freeman, author of ‘Life Bringer’: I like the ads about the vodka - and the naked girl would get most men’s attention. The use of a catch phrase if it gets known is a winner. I had a friend who was in advertising and did a catch phrase for milk. I know not so sexy but it pushed up sales tremendously. You had me hooked and I was very interested to see ‘How does a branding guy spend his day.” This is a great witty story. It is well written and just flows along. Comment from 'a book a day' book reviewer Puss Reboots: Of the two Tim Roux novels I had the pleasure to review, Girl on a Bar Stool was by far my favorite. It's a nice mixture of social satire and metaphysics. Comment from Nicholas Boving, author of ‘Warlock’: Very competent and flowing writing, very slick. Comment from Mel Comley, author of ‘Unicorn’: You certainly have a way with words, I think you forgot to list 'comedy' in the genres. This is extremely polished.
