experience? This book not only answers these questions, but presents them in the context of a grand unified theory of existence—a positive vision for the world carried forth by meaning and significance. It shows how humanity’s timeless wisdom traditions and experiential spirituality easily can be merged with modern science, and argues that the sum of our present knowledge necessitates a revision of the traditional interpretation of Darwin’s evolutionary theory. According to the author, our consciousness is not the result of inert matter, and neither is evolution a haphazard process governed by chance. He sees this assumption as a product of our limited understanding and argues that a new form of consciousness—the cosmic—grants us access to an enlarged perspective—one that finally makes it possible for us to correctly map out our relation to the greater reality. As seen from the perspective of this cosmic consciousness, he asserts that consciousness presents itself as all there is; that the universe is revealed as a living, breathing entity—a multidimensional and hyperintelligent totality—and that our consciousness, as an integral part of this Greater Being, transcends time and space, birth and death. Furthermore history is seen as the result of this universal force’s self-actualization, and the author’s contention is that this new form of consciousness not only represents another evolutionary leap, but the universe’s realization of itself through us. The book’s purpose is to give the reader an introduction to the world as it is witnessed from the cosmic consciousness’ point of view. It broadly explains how everything is interconnected with everything else, and presents us with practical and definite solutions to those problems haunting us on a collective and personal level.
