Carl Henegan

About

Born and raised in Houston Texas, Carl Henegan had spent his early years writing poetry and short stories for self entertainment. With the encouragement of a high school English teacher he maintained his love for writing and soon took several attempts at longer poems and books. He vividly remembers the first time he was captured by the writings of authors like Allan Folsom, Michael Crichton, Dan Brown, Lee Child and even the likes of Dickens, Shakespeare and Russian author Fyodor Dostoyevsky. The works not only influenced his love for reading but inspired him to find his own voice. As he began to write the words poured out of his head an on to paper instantly. A deep love for writing was born.

Carl left Houston in 1986 to enter the military serving the majority of his term in Washington State. He studied at Gonzaga and drew from these early experiences which surfaced in his writing. The rich characters and scenes vividly painted by words were loosely based on real life people and experiences.

He worked in electronics for a period of time but could not escape the allure of story writing. After the desire to test his craft he quickly began his research to become a novelist. He began by reading the greats every chance he had. From classical literature to contemporary novels, Carl's love of the art became uncontrollable. Carl soon began placing his own novels in manuscript form and has never stopped.

Carl left Gonzaga before earning his degree. He eventually moved to Dallas, where he continued to study people, and listen to their stories. "I could see and meet everyday people and instantly develop an extraordinary story around them", he recalls. Carl then began writing articles for several online magazines. Several sports and business articles were published and emerged in online magazines all over the country.

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>

You kept the reader in suspense as each page is turned,the reader is waiting to see what takes place next in anticipation. I like the way the chapters go from scene-to-scene in order not bore the reader. The ending was a complete surprise for me which I think is fantastic.
