| Summary: | "In this classic work, which shaped the thought of a generation with its insights into the true nature of mind and reality, Joseph Chilton Pearce defines culture as a "cosmic egg" structured by the mind's drive for logical ordering of the universe. The sum total of our notion of what the world is--and what we perceive its full potential to be--form a shell of rational thought in which we reside. This logical universe creates a vicious circle of reasoning that robs our minds of power and prevents us from reaching our true spiritual potential. To step beyond that circle requires a centering and focus that today's society assaults on every level. Joseph Chilton Pearce provides a masterful synthesis of discoveries in physics, biology, and psychology to reveal an extraordinary relationship of mind and reality and nature's blueprint for a self-transcending humanity. Through the insights of Teilhard, Tillich, Jung, Jesus, Castaneda, and others, Pearce shows us how our imagination can escape the logical universe and leap into a new phase of human evolution." -- Publisher's description |
