Science and the Reenchantment of the Cosmos |
|
|
|
- Ervin Laszlo |
2006 | |
|
Presents a revolutionary new theory that bridges the divide between science and spirituality that
What scientists are now finding at the outermost frontiers of every
field is overturning all the basic premises concerning the nature of matter and
reality. The universe is not a world of separate things and events but is a cosmos that
is connected, coherent, and bears a profound resemblance to the visions held in
the earliest spiritual traditions in which the physical world and spiritual
experience were both aspects of the same reality and man and the universe were
one. The findings that justify this new vision of the underlying logic of
the universe come from almost all of the empirical sciences: physics, cosmology,
the life sciences, and consciousness research. They explain how interactions
lead to interconnections that produce instantaneous and multifaceted coherence--
what happens to one part also happens to the other parts, and hence to the system
as a whole. The sense of sacred oneness experienced by our ancestors that was
displaced by the unyielding material presumptions of modern science can be
restored, and humanity can once again feel at home in the universe. |

| The Chaos Point |
|
|
|
- Ervin Laszlo |
2006 | |
|
We are at a critical juncture in history, a "decision- window" where we face the danger of global collapse--or the opportunity for global renewal. Written by Ervin Laszlo, the founder of systems philosophy and general evolution theory, The Chaos Point provides a concise overview of the present world situation, showing where we are and how we got there According to Laszlo, for the next six to seven years--roughly until the end of 2012--we have the opportunity to head off trends that would lead to a critical tipping point. Beyond this "chaos point, " we either evolve to a safer, more sustainable world, or the social, economic, and ecological systems that frame our life become overstressed and break down. The 2012 chaos point need not be the end of the world, but it will certainly be the end of the kind of world we have created. In today's decision-window, we have a unique chance to break through to a new world. This pioneering book tells us what this world can look like and how each of us can help to achieve it. The Chaos Point is a healing book. It not only identifies the nature of the malady every person and every society now suffers from, but offers a cure. |

| The Connectivity Hypothesis |

|
- Ervin Laszlo |
2003 | |
|
Ervin Laszlo, widely regarded as the founder of systems philosophy and general evolution theory, introduces the foundations of a genuine unified theory of the world In contrast to other unified theories that center mainly on physics, Laszlo's embraces quantum, cosmos, life, as well as consciousness. He delineates the principles of a new physics of universal connectivity and puts forth the corresponding metaphysics, discussing the implications for such philosophical issues as the nature of matter and mind, freedom and morality, and design versus evolution. This landmark book lays the groundwork for the non-materialist and non-reductionist yet rigorous paradigm that is likely to signal the next revolution in science: the "paradigm of universal connectivity. Ervin [Laszlo] has performed a singular service by formulating his ideas into a consistent whole and calling for the primacy of fields and information as the root metaphors of 21st century science.†-- The Scientific & Medical Network |

|
|
- Lynne McTaggart |
2003 | |
|
Lynne McTaggart...reveals a radical new biological paradigm--that on our most fundamental level, the human mind and body are not distinct and separate from their environment but a packets of pulsating power constantly interacting with this vast energy sea. The Field is a highly readable scientific detective story that offers a stunning picture of an interconnected universe and a new scientific theory that makes sense of supernatural phenomena.

The Living Energy Universe
A Fundamental Discovery that Transforms Science & Medicine |

|
- Gary E. Schwartz, PhD & Linda G. S. Russek. PhD |
1999 | |
|
From the subatomic to the cosmic, from cells and ideas to souls and God, all dynamic systems have memory. Using the tools of science, [the authors] demonstrate that everything in the universe is alive, eternal, and evolving. Their new model of life, the Universal Living Memory theory, is reconfiguring the scientific landscape. |

| Wholeness and the Implicate Order | ||
|
- David Bohm |
1980 | |
|
This is a recent reprint of Bohm's classic book published first in 1980. Bohm, a renowned quantum physicist and philosopher, presents his concept of the holomovent, a holographic model of the universe realized in hierarchical levels of implicate and explicate order. |
