Navigating Consciousness with Rupert Sheldrake
A three-way conversation, or trialogue, in two parts.
Part I The crisis in science: collision between the permanent and evolutionary views of the nature of reality. The universe as an evolving system of habits. Did natural law exist before the Big Bang? Cosmic creativity, imagination and the womb of chaos. Chaotic sudden perturbations. The Omega Point. The ego's response to chaos. The cosmic attractor in the evolutionary process.
This Trialogue and others are available in book form:
