It's early in the 21st century. Visions and dreams of millions are about to become reality with a shift in global consciousness. The key: a worldwide quest for the "noetic code," a new way of knowing that builds on the ancient wisdom traditions of shamans, the perennial philosophy of mystics, and the profound insights of modern science. But the quest is threatened by a powerful force determined to keep the Great Dream down. Corporate greed and consumerism have pushed the planet to the brink of ecological collapse. Something needs to change, and fast. 'Jurassic Park' brought to life the power of the genetic code, and scared us with 60-million-year-old dinosaur genes. Now, 'Deep Spirit' inspires us with a 14-billion-year-old echo from the Big Bang, and opens up the secrets of the noetic code-the way to higher intelligence and a sane and safer world. There's no bigger story.

Being familiar with Christian de Quincey's work, through his earlier books, I was delighted to be notified by a friend that this novel was finally available in print form. I ordered it right away! Once the book was in my hands I put aside other reading to delve into this adventure story.
The scope of this book is immense, yet the ease of the storytelling provides ready access to these mind-challanging ideas. In considering that we humans may be and become more than we are conditioned to believe we are, the implications of such expansive vision can be daunting and intimidating. Christian de Quincey's compelling writing style portrays these ideas of human evolution, as well as our reconsidered place in the grand schemes of Nature, in a way that lends the power of a well-told story to something that may otherwise be overwhelming. The result is a burgeoning depiction that draws forth our innate wisdom in considering the immensity of Nature, mind, and evolution. It is also deeply entertaining!
I once heard a Native American saying that "All things new are hidden in the past". That's what this book is about: the timeless knowledge through wisdom that seems to direct our course behind the veils of reason. The timelessness that comes from beholding beauty, meaning, and spirit, evokes breathtaking feelings of the realm where dreams and the material world flow together, and intermingle, in a call to regard the well-being of our world.
I recommend this book highly, especially if you want to grow a little while reading a work of fiction. This book speaks to and from the heart of humanity, while celebrating the embrace of Nature. It is a gem worth examining.

I read this book. And then I re-read this book. And then, I read this book and took notes, and then I think I took notes on the notes that I took. It became my mission to find out what was fact and what was imagination. (Most of this book is based on fact.) This book has depth, and layers of meaning, and beautiful themes, and sublime truth. It is a good read in and of itself, but it can also be the beginning of a rich and meaningful journey. What a pleasure to sink into Deep Spirit.

Format:Paperback
Although the characters and story of "Deep Spirit" are enticing in and of themselves, this book also reads on another profoundly soul-stirring level. As reader I keep feeling challenged to address the questions, who am I, where am I, in this? The book feels more like experience than story, and it is a privilege to participate in it. It is both visionary tale and consciousness transforming journey. It pulses with soul-wisdom rare to find between the covers of a book.
