About

Bob Frey loves to entertain, make people laugh and think, and, perhaps, shake them up a little. He was a copywriter for several top Los Angeles advertising agencies and received several awards for his creative work. When he turned to writing fiction, he found it was a whole new ballgame and he had a lot to learn. He has since published a couple of mysteries, The DVD Murders and The Bashful Vampire Murder & Comic Book Murders, and Catawampus Tales, a book of short stories, a mixed-bag of fast food for the mind.

Also an actor, he has appeared in some forty independent films and stage plays. He now lives in Sandy, Oregon, with his wife, Susan.

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)

Story Behind The Book

“You know, when you get to be a certain age, some people tend to write you off as useless or even a burden. I am now retired. My hearing isn’t what it used to be. I get tired a lot easier than I used to, and my memory, especially my short-term memory, often lets me down. My mind, however, is as sharp as ever and inside I feel like the same kid that grew up in Philadelphia, a fact young people may not appreciate. My ability to produce a 265-page mystery novel is positive proof than older citizens still have something to contribute. My advice to other senior citizens: Don’t let others get you down. Sure, you can’t run a four minute mile or play professional football, but if you have a book or good story inside you, sit down and write it. It will not only give you pleasure to do it, but someone may actually enjoy reading it.”

Reviews

A memorable Character "Detective Frank Callahan has a lot on his plate. Not only is he mourning the loss of a relationship while dealing with bigots at work on a daily basis, he's handed a career-making opportunity when A-list actors start dropping like flies. A serial killer, out to rectify the immoral world of Hollywood, is on the loose and terrifying everyone down the Walk of Fame. Detective Callahan—who just happens to be gay—navigates the internal and external politics of the LAPD as he tries to stay ahead of the game despite all the obstacles put in his way. Bob Frey has written a memorable character by defying stereotypes in creating a whole person who's neither sinner nor saint. Frank Callahan is just the kind of man needed to stop the DVD Killer before more Hollywood stars fall from the sky."—H.L. Cherryholmes, Author of A Slight Touch
