About

OK...guess I'm one of the most talented Africans alive today. My name's Ukachukwu Chidube George, AKA George Shadow (My pseud.) and I live in Nigeria. I am an author, artist and songwriter/composer.

As an urban child, my getaway from the noise and fast pace was escaping into the world of imagination. Is there any better place than books?
I love challenges, do you?

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

THE BLACK BOOK is the first part of a fascinating series of six novels collectively known as THE BOOKLORD ADVENTURE SERIES and is a beautifully-written novel filled with very funny scenes. Three siblings are out to undo the confusion a certain magical book has wrought on their quiet county's normality after a series of unfortunate events put them all under the power of this ancient tool.... The boy in this trio has mistakenly ignited a powerful spell said to have been granted Man by Satan, himself, when he unknowingly pens down the names of his 'enemies' in this ancient scroll during a very trying time in his young life. Now the brother and his two adopted sisters must travel back and forth across time saving those The Book had barnished from the present as a result of this evil...a task they soon realize to be suicidal...especially when one is always making an appearance whenever a historical skirmish of 'battle-field proportions' is about to take place! From the sweeping ruins of France's Dunkirk during World War II, this teenage historical adventure swings across Africa during the Slave Trade Era and takes us further back into America's Wild Wild Frontier of the nineteenth century before heading to Judea during the Roman invasion of Jerusalem in 70 A.D. Greece during the days of the famous King Leonidas and his brave Spartan warriors comes up next, though the story never stops here, rather rolling on across China into France and on to the present, and always surprising us immensely when a need arises now and then for our characters to be taken back into the past and quickly retired to the present before it is too late! Way back in time (315 AD) and far, far away, in Ancient Rome, a religious Jewish sect intent on saving their people from occupation and bondage from the Roman enslavement they’d felt since Jerusalem’s fall in 70 A.D., resolve to defeat the then emperor of Rome, Constantine I, through magic and occultism rather than with God’s help, so that the Isrealites could return to the Promised Land as free people. In the course of their quest, they unknowingly sign an evil pact with Satan, himself, through certain rebellious angels from heaven in order to achieve this sole purpose! The BOOKLORD ADVENTURE SERIES narrates the story of the two ancient books of mysticism and magic the devil helped engineer for this cult’s objective as well as how those objectives were never met and these books inadvertently journey down in history to fall into the hands of two very different boys having two very contrasting families and living in two very dissimilar parts of the world! This is where the story begins, because THE BLACK BOOK is one of the two books...and THE WHITE BOOK is an entirely different story!
