Excerpt from A Cosmic View of Religion These pages undertake to deal with religion in its generic aspects, and from the side of the uni verse. The religious instinct is such a persistent radical, and so evidently here to stay, that the whole issue of the soul's fellowship with the Di vine may be investigated from the viewpoint of the unity of creation. If man has come up out of things, he will not, in the long run, be largely influenced by any theory of detachment. The better understandings, therefore, of what this human is, in his inmost being, are to be reached by a careful estimate of his permanent outward correspondences, and of his actions under them, and of the degree of mastery which they have over him. We have come to the time when the serious minded refuse to go to school to the teacher who has to have himself whipped into acceptance of the nature truths which research has uncovered. SO great and unquestioned have been the recent advances in psychology, in chemistry, in physics. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Theologian Harry Lee Poe and chemist Jimmy H. Davis argue that God's interaction with our world is a possibility affirmed equally by the Bible and the contemporary scientific record. Rather than confirming that the cosmos is closed to the actions of the divine, advancing scientific knowledge seems to indicate that the nature of the universe is actually open to the unique type of divine activity portrayed in the Bible.

Traditional science holds that everything that exists starts with matter, but this undocumented belief must be false, according to Quantum Mechanics. It has to be! QM demonstrates that
• There is no such thing as matter or space or time
• A conscious observer is a necessary condition for anything to exist.
• There is only subjectivity without any objective truth.
• The world we experience, therefore, must be an illusion, like a holodeck program or a virtual game.
And no one disputes the conclusions of this mysterious science—Quantum Mechanics underlies all of reality. This virtual experience we are having is nevertheless alive and conscious and deliberately makes choices. Life has always been latent in the universe; every species is aware, intelligent, and chooses; and existence—according to spiritual and scientific conclusions alike—is one unified evolving and emerging intelligent being, purposefully partnering with the universe in influencing what it is to become. Sound strange? What is far stranger is the materialist notion that existence burst forth out of absolutely nothing! That’s why this book “matters.” The life we live is not based in some mindless and mechanical machine. The life we live is filled with purpose and meaning, and we humans have work to do to bring our world along. Join in on this astonishing unfolding journey which we participate in fashioning: The Greatest Story Ever Told!

“Ann Druyan has unearthed a treasure. It is a treasure of reason, compassion, and scientific awe. It should be the next book you read.” —Sam Harris, author of The End of Faith “A stunningly valuable legacy left to all of us by a great human being. I miss him so.” —Kurt Vonnegut Carl Sagan's prophetic vision of the tragic resurgence of fundamentalism and the hope-filled potential of the next great development in human spirituality The late great astronomer and astrophysicist describes his personal search to understand the nature of the sacred in the vastness of the cosmos. Exhibiting a breadth of intellect nothing short of astounding, Sagan presents his views on a wide range of topics, including the likelihood of intelligent life on other planets, creationism and so-called intelligent design, and a new concept of science as "informed worship." Originally presented at the centennial celebration of the famous Gifford Lectures in Scotland in 1985 but never published, this book offers a unique encounter with one of the most remarkable minds of the twentieth century.

A foremost thinker on science and religion argues that an adequate understanding of cosmic history requires attention to the emergence of interiority, including religious aspiration Over the past two centuries scientific advances have made it clear that the universe is a story still unfolding. In this thought-provoking book, John F. Haught considers the deeper implications of this discovery. He contends that many others who have written books on life and the universe--including Stephen Hawking, Stephen Jay Gould, and Richard Dawkins--have overlooked a crucial aspect of cosmic history: the drama of life's awakening to interiority and religious awareness. Science may illuminate the outside story of the universe, but a full telling of the cosmic story cannot ignore the inside development that interiority represents. Haught addresses two primary questions: what does the arrival of religion tell us about the universe, and what does our understanding of the cosmos as an unfinished drama tell us about religion? The history of religion may be ambiguous and sometimes even barbarous, he asserts, but its role in the story of cosmic emergence and awakening must be taken into account.

Perhaps inadvertently, historians have often eliminated the religious chapters--those episodes in history during which human insights into transcendence and divinity have shaped human consciousness--from our planet's story. This book tells the story of cosmic history as big historians tell it, beginning with the big bang, and explores the question of God hidden beneath this story. The book pauses on the Axial Age of human history: a moment during the first millennium BCE in which questions of transcendence first simultaneously arose in distinct locations around the world. By exploring this threshold in cosmic history, the author demonstrates the way the arrival of the God question marked a radical new human consciousness, one that ultimately laid the groundwork for the modern age.--

The purpose of this book is to unite the world's major religions. Starting from their likely origin in human culture on this planet, the reader will be taken through new age worldviews and pantheistic thinking to arrive at a united philosophy that is reasonable even for atheists. Bringing together the scientific, engineering, religious, and historical perspectives, these writings take the insatiably curious reader to the next step in spiritual evolution, a cosmic perspective that even incorporates intelligent life beyond this planet. The journey toward truth includes a parallel voyage at sea on a sailboat from California to Costa Rica to the Galapagos Islands, and how this adventure in nature helps the author refine his spiritual thinking in the search for truth. References to other philosophies, religious writings, and ancient scrolls are brought together with modern evidence of extraterrestrial visitation on Earth to present a new worldview and paradigm that presents a unified theory. The activity and guidance of extraterrestrial visitors on the planet are discussed, and how this cosmic intelligence has affected our cultures and religions. Those who enjoy exploration of nature and civilizations will greatly benefit from this book, especially if seeking a scientific perspective on spirituality.

God, Cosmos and Man builds a powerful scientific interpretation of existence centered on the meticulous, integrated development of several main concepts: 1. Matter here and everywhere spontaneously self-organizes; 2. All order we see in the universe has resulted from matter's self-organization; 3. Life is the highest state of spontaneously self-organized matter, and almost certainly exists widely in the cosmos; 4. Mind is the highest state of life, seemingly capable of exerting progressively increasing control over the universe as intelligence further evolves; 5. Science seems to be telling us that god may be different than at least the Western religions would have us believe. Humans basically had a blind-faith, religious view of existence when modern science arose about 400 years ago. But science has progressively superceded religion relative to many critical issues, and remaining topics seem likely to fall to science's relentless onslaught as well. This book carefully crafts a powerful argument based on diverse biological and physical disciplines to show how a remarkably consistent world view emerges from today's science. Such a new perspective carries powerful attributes that may be more satisfying for many, and as any world view should do and agrees with what we actually see. This book provides a fresh, penetrating, scientific analysis of existence, and reveals veiled but powerful interrelations between matter, conscious mind, and cosmic makeup that suggest imaginative new views of god.

With this major work, Edward Reaugh Smith concludes his singular series on the Bible and Anthroposophy. Understanding the Book of Revelation presents the ultimate challenge to those who wish to penetrate its deepest meaning—a spiritual mountain whose summit has remained beyond reach to most people. Paradoxically, in spite of its name, Revelation is the most veiled and mysterious book in the Bible. A century ago, Rudolf Steiner opened a route to that summit. This book is the first extensive application of that priceless resource to the full text of Revelation. The substance of what Steiner tells us about John’s Revelation derives from the individuality who had that Apocalyptic Vision—he was a seer and visionary, and his account is esoteric and open only to such a seer. Smith presents Steiner as a seer who, for the first time since John wrote his Revelation, has penetrated the obscuring veil of this text. The scope of John’s vision and Steiner’s exposition covers the vast stretch of our human journey. Our ongoing involvement in that journey is not optional. We are each in it from beginning to end. This book is for those who would awake to it.
