Publisher's Summary

How is it possible that the universe burst into being from the flash of a single fireball? In an age when scientific knowledge is doubling every generation, how do we reconcile the story of the universe with our spiritual roles on Earth? Join noted scientist and author Brian Swimme, PhD, on a journey to the farthest reaches of the cosmos, and learn how this exquisite "molecular dance" of vast galaxies and exploding stars also gave birth to human consciousness and a living earth.

Canticle to the Cosmos is a revelatory session that will open your eyes to the unseen dimension of the universe and our participation in its destiny. In this 12–part audio series, Swimme weaves cosmology, quantum physics, biological science, and native wisdom into a mind-expanding look at fifteen billions years of cosmic history.When Einstein discovered that the universe is constantly expanding, "… he was shattered by what this said to him. He actually changed his field equations to some degree," says Swimme. It is that awe-that "wonder of awareness"–which separates humans from other species and gives us a reason for being.With passion and humor, Swimme shares a scientist's deepest thoughts about the divine order of the cosmos, and explores how we can each regain our reverence for the earth and all life. Canticle to the Cosmos is alive with a rare intellectual intensity, and will escort you across the threshold of science and into the realm of the sacred.

we need this story to ACTIVATE US

So many of us in western civilization have been robbed of the sense of AWE -- robbed by a simplistic,.incomplete, misleading vacuum of cosmology propounded by scientific materialist reductionism. the result? a titanically pathological war on nature and, for the human, a deadening of the soul.

we need to.be activated again, to awaken to the truth of what we are, for the sake of all life on this miraculous planet.

This book / lecture series is a step in the right direction. jump in and reclaim the scientific language for the blooming of the whole!
