CosMos: A Co-creator's Guide to the Whole World [Paperback]

Ervin Laszlo Ph.D. (Author), Ph.D. Jude Currivan (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: August 1, 2008

We stand at the threshold of a revolutionary and empowering new vision of the world. The discoveries of leading-edge science and the insights of spirituality are converging to reveal that the CosMos and all that we term reality is wholly integrated, and that at its most fundamental level, it is a field of information. This is the elemental cosmic mind from which everything emanates, is manifested, and to which all ultimately returns. Research is also demonstrating what the mystics of all traditions have discerned: that we have the innate ability to envision, understand, and experience the CosMos at levels far beyond the limitations of our human persona.

CosMos is co-authored by two explorers who combine almost a century of seeking to understand not only how the world is as it is, but why. Philosopher Ervin Laszlo, Ph.D., and healer and scientist Jude Currivan, Ph.D., offer a revisioned view of the world that is no longer fragmented, but is at last, whole. Theirs is a perception of a meaningful and co-creative world that is exquisitely tuned to be “as simple as it can be” for consciousness to explore itself. In these momentous times, the vision shared in Cosmos invites us to open our hearts and minds to re-member who we really are and to take our places as conscious co-creators of our realities and of our evolving cosmic destiny.

5.0 out of 5 stars CosMos is a sweeping vision, August 26, 2008

By

This review is from: CosMos: A Co-creator's Guide to the Whole World (Paperback)

This is an amazing book. It clearly, lucidly presents some very complex ideas....and pulls them all together to present the co-authors vision of what the "Shift in Consciousness" truly means, incorporating the latest information from quantum physics together with the ancient wisdom traditions.

I believe it is one of the most important books of this century. It is must reading in my opinion.

This review is from: CosMos: A Co-creator's Guide to the Whole World (Paperback)

I first noted that Laszlo's 2008 "CosMos" was looking like an impressive step beyond his 2003 "Connectivity Hypothesis" plus his 2007 revision of his 2004 "Science and the Akashic Field." (The earlier version bothered me because it overlooked the Higgs boson that may or may not be observed whenever the Large Hadron Collider finally goes on line. The 2007 re-do showed I wasn't the only one who reacted that way; others were apparently able to prompt a quick revision that included his thoughts on it.) As a result, an engraved stone came into my mind. It said "Darwin's Doberman's, Dawkins and Dennett, are Dead Dogs." I laughed.

Then I noticed that no one had bothered to write a review yet and there were said to be 22 "used" copies available. By then I had read enough more to wonder if his co-creator of CosMos, Dr. Currivan, a mystic as well as archeologist and physicist, was introducing more problems than any mainstream scientists could tolerate ... so they must have tried to get rid of their copies FAST. I checked and it turned out that only 2 of those copies were truly used. The other 20 were noted as "new" in the "used" section. I felt better. Somebody bought one. Today, there are only 21 copies mentioned in the "used" category.

Before long I realized that Laszlo had cited the work and thoughts expressed by almost all of my favorite scientists, many of whom are respected by mainstream or nearly-mainstream folk ... Stuart Kauffman, Bruce Lipton, Dean Radin, etc. ... and it occurred to me that Laszlo and Currivan had done a better job than the usually ultra-brilliant Stuart Kauffman had done in his 2008 "Re-inventing the Sacred." Kauffman had seemed unaware of a basic, alternative assumption made by most esoteric doctrines. That is, Universal Mind is thought to have come here first, and matter/energy precipitates out of that, rather than the reverse (mainstream science)idea that matter comes first and mind/consciousness emerges later, out of highly evolved matter/energy systems. This idea makes me expect to find a Universal Mind/Consciousness ingredient list BELOW the matter/energy list on the reductionism track. Reductionism's OK by me if we realize that once we have dug deeper than the tiniest tad of matter/energy ... past the wee-est smidgeon of a particle that pops into virtual existence in the region of the so-called vacuum which Universal Mind has entered ... we will find ingredients of consciousness rather than those of matter/energy. All that EMERGES from bodies with brains is EXPRESSIONS of conscious experiences, not Consciousness itself.

Laszlo and Kauffman should get together... they and most of the others cited in CosMos. They can thus help the rest of us move farther and faster in the direction we scientists are already just barely beginning to go.

How many book of Mr. Laszlo - how mach paper. But not science - only poor understanding of real nature.
