4.0 out of 5 stars Opening Your Mind to Possibilities, March 17, 2006
This review is from: The Crack in the Cosmic Egg: Challenging Constructs of Mind and Reality (Paperback)
"The Crack in the Cosmic Egg" will challenge you to think about what is it? What is this thing we call reality? How is it that paradigms and how we view the world works and how is it that sometimes the seemingly miraculous occurs. Where does it come from, that which is so improbable may tomorrow be everyday knowledge.

A good book to get your feet wet, into exploring mind and reality.

4.0 out of 5 stars We are an open possibility ..., November 12, 2006
By 
KnC Books "kncbooks" (Inland Empire, CA, United States) - See all my reviews
Three decades before the movie "What the Bleep Do We Know?", Joseph Chilton Pearce was exploring the boundaries of physics, searching for an answer to that same question.

A synthesis of science and spirtuality, religion and quantum physics, the cosmic egg that we live in yields itself to us only when we search out the cracks in the shell of reality, those "aha!" moments when inspiration and insight open our minds, however briefly, to the possibilities that surround us. Pearce submits to us a pastiche of works by philosophers, religious thinkers, and scientists to create a guide to finding these cracks.

At times the writing style is a little too verbose; there is a lot of information to synthesize, and Pearce is sometimes overwhelmed by the scope of the subject (the nature of reality and perception!) as any writer would be. The many referenced works are gathered in a helpful bibliography.

A good overview of the human condition.

5.0 out of 5 stars The "crack" appears..., October 8, 1997
By A Customer
This review is from: The Crack in the Cosmic Egg: Challenging Constructs of Mind and Reality (Paperback)
J.C. Pearce did a wonderful thing in writing this book. He challenges the rationality of existing within a set frame of knowledge or world view, and challenges us to look beyond the obvious for the true possibilities. I truly enjoyed this book. Not a day passes that I don't think about some aspect of what he was trying to say.
