Product Description

Have you ever looked up at the night sky and wondered, "What is the universe?"

In this lively and engaging collection of interviews, astronomer Stephan Martin talks with some of today's most innovative and cutting-edge thinkers on the nature of the universe and our relationship to it. Scientists, mystics, indigenous elders, and cultural creatives all share their unique voices on the nature of reality, the interplay of science and religion, the future of humanity, and the role of each person in a mysterious and evolving universe.

Filled with rich insight, dynamic discussion, and penetrating wisdom, Cosmic Conversations asks the fundamental questions about the universe that many of us have wondered about yet few have explored in-depth, questions such as:

* Do time, space, and matter really exist?

* Can the universe be inside us, outside us, or both?

* Is the universe alive, conscious, and intelligent?

* Where are we in the cosmic evolutionary picture?

A compelling journey from the farthest reaches of outer space to the innermost realms of the human heart, Cosmic Conversations will change the way you look at the universe (and yourself) forever.

5.0 out of 5 stars Insightful Group of Philosophical Interviews, March 22, 2010
By S. L. Mayer (Rock Hall, MD) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Cosmic Conversations: Dialogues on the Nature of the Universe and the Search for Reality (Paperback)
Cosmic Conversations is an exciting book featuring interviews of a number of prominent authors and leading professional thinkers of creative consciousness and the nature of the universe. It was written in 2009 and begins with scientific findings, continues with spirituality and ends with modern cultural concepts on emerging consciousness in our world and universe today. I found this incredibly interesting as well as challenging to consider the variety of topics in Martin's interviews.

4.0 out of 5 stars We are Universe, December 1, 2009
This review is from: Cosmic Conversations: Dialogues on the Nature of the Universe and the Search for Reality (Paperback)
Presented as a collection of interviews from three very distinct perspectives, Cosmic Conversations explored the universe in both outer space and our inner selves. It's fairly easy to identify one interpretation of our lives and the universe as a whole when so many differing viewpoints are offered. I personally connected with a Native American understanding of life and it's place in the cosmos. You don't need to be a physicist to appreciate the scientific assessments nor be a spiritual leader to understand the mystic journeys explored in this book. We are Universe. What does that mean? You'll have to read the book to find out!
